NYC Discovery Lab August – Summer and the City
This event has passed.
Did you know that while NYC is surrounded by water, most of our drinking water is sourced from upstate reservoirs? Stop by to learn about the city’s water story – from 18th century reservoirs to present-day protection efforts – and explore how the city’s water features and habits have changed over time. All activities are included with Museum admission.
Saturdays and Sundays 11am to 4pm.
Take part in a range of activities that explore the many summer traditions New Yorkers have maintained over more than a century.
Stop by to:
- Test your knowledge of New York City’s past and present water histories by answering true or false questions in this engaging activity.
- Design your own water tower, inspired by the iconic structures that provide drinking water to New Yorkers and now serve as unique pieces of public art!
- Discover New York City's water history by mapping iconic locations like High Bridge, Tenth (Amsterdam) Avenue, and Central Park.
Pick up a scavenger hunt to discover how New York City’s water story has shaped the city’s landscape both past and present.
NYC Discovery Lab August programs are through Saturday, August 31.
