New York City could not have grown into a great metropolis without its historic and efficient water-supply system. Starting at the watersheds in upstate New York, follow the flow through streams, tunnels, dams, and reservoirs to learn how these gravity systems deliver clean and safe drinking water to the city.

Then, inspired by NYC's water supply system, kids play Water Works, a fun card game where the objective is to be the first to build a completely leak-free pipeline! 

 Masks are required for indoor programs. 

Register online in advance. If you do not confirm attendance by the Friday morning before the program, your places will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
