Since opening in April 2009, children and grown-ups alike have enjoyed exploring the power and properties of water through interactive play with pumps, valves, wheels, pipes and other elements.&nbsp; The features include:</p> <ul> <li>Ball Launch - This component begins the main watercourse.&nbsp; Here, children drop balls into a series of clear plastic tubes.&nbsp; By turning valves to increase or decrease the pressure inside the tubes, they can send their ball all the way up the trackway that runs above the pipe play area.</li> <li>Pipe Play - Children can build free-from water sculptures with a series of connecting pipes that spray water out the top.&nbsp; They can also connect the pipes to nozzles that take aim at playful chimes and other contraptions.</li> <li>Falling Water - As balls feed out of the overhead conduit about the pipe play area, they travel down a maze of troughs that direct them into the water table below.</li> <li>Archimedes Screw - As balls feed down the watercourse channel, children turn a hand crank that moves the water and balls up an Archimedes Screw and down into another water table.</li> <li>Buckets &amp; Conveyers - Children turn a large crank to start a series of buckets that scoop water and balls along a vertical conveyer, carrying them upwards to a trough which spills them down into a swirling vortex.</li> <li>Toddler Table - This stand-alone for toddlers features a playful water flute that shoots water from its center, floatable boats, and other water toys.</li> </ul> <p>IMPORTANT NOTE: For safety reasons, children must be supervised by an adult at all times.&nbsp; Also, kids will get wet!&nbsp; Waterproof smocks will be provided and hand dryers have been installed, but packing some extra clothing isn't a bad idea!</p>
