The take
Jewel's indoor waterfall is free to watch from Forest Valley, 10am to 10pm. We'd come for an evening Light & Music Showcase, and from Friday to Sunday there's a 10pm show if you land late.

Free Light & Music Showcase: Mon–Thu 8pm and 9pm; Fri–Sun, public holidays and eves 8pm, 9pm and 10pm
The waterfall runs 10am–10pm daily, free to watch from Forest Valley with no ticket
Canopy Park on Level 5 is a separate ticket, and you won't need it for the show

Before you go
Is the Jewel Rain Vortex always switched on?
No, Jewel posts advisories on its Rain Vortex page for the days when Forest Valley closes and the waterfall is switched off for a few hours. The cascade flows 40 metres to the basement, and after dark the same sheet of water becomes the Light & Music Showcase. Check the page before a special trip.

How many times a night is the Rain Vortex light show?
The Light & Music Showcase runs at 8pm and 9pm from Monday to Thursday. A 10pm show is added from Friday to Sunday, on public holidays and on the eve of one. Pick any vantage point around the Rain Vortex, since Jewel says the show can be enjoyed from many places.
