Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff live at the museum to learn about water and the three states of matter! First, we will read from Change it! Solids, Liquids, Gases and You! Then, we will learn how molecules act in each state with a movement-based game. Finally, we will create paintings with ice cubes! This program is recommended for ages 3-6 and is free of charge, suggested donation $5. Face coverings are recommended but not required. Help us plan by reserving your free tickets in advance.
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.
