Celebrating World Wetlands Day at Great Explorations Children's Museum
Tampa Bay Water joined forces with Great Explorations Children’s Museum to invite families to a fun and educational event to celebrate World Wetlands Day on February 2. Visitors explored the beauty and importance of wetlands through interactive activities, engaging exhibits and live demonstrations designed to inspire curiosity and environmental stewardship in children.
Tampa Bay Water staff conducted an edible aquifer activity, where attendees learned about sustainable use of groundwater and how to avoid polluting this source. Children and parents created their own edible aquifer using ice cream, candies and sodas, while learning about confining layers, contamination, recharge and water tables. It was a fun and sweet way to celebrate World Wetlands Day!
