WaterWorks

Opening May 28, 2022!

Make a splash with squirt guns, floating lily pads, mini boats, fishing pond, hydroelectric dam, adjustable aqueducts, vortex ball-drops and launchers, and much more.

Included with admission, free for members.

WaterWorks reflects the unique characteristics of the Murfree Spring wetlands, which adjoins Discovery Center’s property. It’s the perfect way to engage children in playing and learning with water – one of the universal joys of childhood.

The exhibit was designed to promote not only mathematical and scientific learning, but sensory exploration, language development and social skills. Water play allows children to learn with hands-on materials and take in new information through their senses. WaterWorks helps them explore and interact with each other. The experiences and discovering new things within shared spaces offer a great opportunity for social development.

WaterWorks also helps introduce children to higher-level mathematical concepts like volume, early physics and engineering concepts like motion and flowing water, and environment science.

Special thanks to the many donors who made this exhibit possible.
