Summer Splash! is the Museum’s signature summer-long festival. The event features three months of exciting interactive learning experiences designed to engage children and alleviate summer learning loss. Each month includes themed adventures, live performers, unique activities and special guests. In this photo children explore Riveropolis, a 30ft waterway with tinkering stations.
