About this adventure

The newly upgraded "Water World" is one of the most popular permanent interactive exhibits at the Discovery Children's Museum. Modeled after a miniature Colorado River and the Hoover Dam hydroelectric system, children can wear waterproof aprons provided by the museum to manually adjust sluice gates, drive water wheel vortices, and operate Archimedes screw pumps to launch floating balls. This allows them to intuitively understand the scientific principles of hydraulic power and Nevada's water resource allocation. The exhibit floor is covered with advanced non-slip, permeable material, and hot air hand dryers and floor drying attendants are regularly available. Multiple temporary stroller parking areas are located around the exhibit hall. The entire floor features accessible family restrooms and padded diaper changing stations with safety straps. Parents are advised to bring an extra set of clothes for younger children to fully enjoy the unlimited fun of hydrodynamic exploration.
