Looking for something fun to do over April Vacation Week? Join us at the Waterworks Museum on April 24th from 11am to 3pm to enjoy some family-friendly, hands-on activities and learn more about the “hidden water” in everyday things like food and clothes. Find out how much water it takes to create your favorite meal! Make an egg carton creature to take home! Tickets are only $5 per participant and parents, guardians, and chaperones (as well as babies in arms) are free! As part of our commitment to the Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program, this fee will be waived for EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders. Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your tickets today. We hope to see you there!
Upcoming Events
Great Engines Hall
The centerpiece of the Waterworks Museum is its collection of steam engines. Three original coal-powered, steam-driven water pumps are preserved at the Museum and are monuments to 19th century technology and innovation. Leavitt, Worthington, and Allis stand in the Great Engines Hall and reach more than 3 stories tall. Walk around each and see the multitude of perfectly engineered parts that pumped million gallons of freshwater a day into the City of Boston.
