Water is essential to life as we know it. And as it cycles from air to land to sea and back again, water shapes our planet—and nearly every aspect of our lives. When most of us want clean, clear water, we only have to go as far as the nearest faucet. We don’t often consider the importance of preserving this most precious resource. The internationally-touring “Water” exhibit explores all sources of H2O, from expansive oceans to the tiniest raindrop, and how plants, animals, and people are constantly adapting to survive in conditions where fresh water is either scarce, extremely hot or even frozen. Satellite images, 3D video, live animals and walk-through dioramas give visitors a firsthand experience of the power and importance of water. Visitors will learn about frogs that freeze solid in the winter then thaw out and hop away in warmer months, worms that have evolved to survive in nearly-boiling water, emperor penguins that know how to stay warm in 40-below temps and how camels survive in the desert. Visitors will also see the many ways humans have learned to purify and conserve water and harness its power.
Admission to “Water” is included in the cost of general admission
