The locations are underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Brooklyn side; between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn Heights; on Governor's Island (near the Statue of Liberty); and in Lower Manhattan at Pier 35 north of the Manhattan Bridge.
Circle Line Downtown has already begun to sell tickets for yacht rides to see the waterfalls, with tickets for 30-minute rides starting at $10. (circlelinedowntown.com)

I recall that the waterfalls they have in Chicago just make navigating its waterways a pain. Boats have to time it so that passengers don't get soaked.

Too wonderful for words! This is the place where art and science meet.

Shouldn't these really be called fountains? The world "waterfall" implies water falling over some sort of object (like rocks). With the exception of the Brooklyn Bridge installation, they all look like water fountains.

Looks like they're almost done - they put some constructino photos up at www.newyorkcitywaterfalls.com, and it looks really cool.

I just received a press release from New York Water Taxi announcing that they'll be offering hour-long "unofficial" waterfalls tours that will pass by each of Eliasson's waterfall. The tours, available June 26–Oct. 15, will leave from the South Street Seaport and Battery Park between 11am–5pm (weekdays) and 11am–7pm (weekends). Prices are as follows: Adults: $25, Seniors (65+) $18, Kids (12 and under) $15. nywatertaxi.com
