Dynamic H₂O

Seasonal Outdoor Exhibit in the Sussman Environmental Center Dynamic H2O is the Children’s Museum of Manhattan’s splashy seasonal outdoor exhibit where children learn about New York City’s amazing water system and the importance of water to us all. With hands-on interactives and colorful graph­ics, the exhibit invites children to explore how New York City gets its water and the role water plays in our local environment. Dynamic H2O features, the installation features a 22-foot-long interactive water table with waterfalls, spinners, spouts and shoots for hands-on fun and discovery. The experi­ence begins with children learning about the water cycle up in the clouds. Small floating droplets allow children to follow the currents as they progress downstream, flowing past an area where children can pretend to fish, then connecting pipes and directing water over a bridge, before arriving at the area where they can construct a city at the water’s edge!
