Rill Bubbles to Life

On Thursday, May 1, we turned on the water exhibits to mark the start of another summer season of fun and hands-on learning about water flow. Visitors can experience a plethora of water exhibits centered around The Rill, a 250-foot long watercourse that meanders from the Museum building toward the river. There are many other exhibits on light, sound, motion, astronomy, and natural history in Science Park.
