EVENT
Not-So-Creepy Crawlies
at the Waterworks
October 26, 2019
11:00 am–4:00 pm
Halloween is a time to celebrate all things creepy and crawly! Join us for some fun activities and learn about the microscopic creatures that live in our water. They may look like creepy crawly monsters, but these tiny harmless animals play an important part in our ecosystem!
Drop in any time between 11 am – 4 pm on Saturday, October 26th to design your own microscopic creatures, see microscopic water dwellers under a microscope, create a fuzzy microbe to take home – and of course, no celebration of the creepy and crawly would be complete without making some slime! Halloween Candy will also be available to all participants.
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.
