Spring 2023: Water's Extreme Journey
EXPERIENCE the water cycle as a drop of water
LEARN to keep water clean through simple activities.
INSPIRE stewardship of natural resources
ACT to support clean water initiatives
Developed with world-renowned marine life artist Wyland, Water’s Extreme Journey takes visitors on an exciting and important quest for clean water. Visitors experience the watershed as a water drop, exploring first-hand the science behind the water cycle. But it’s not all wet and wild – through powerful interactives and local messaging, visitors realize that daily decisions can immediately improve the watershed in their own backyard.
