RVA Waterway

This exhibit includes the Sensory Rapids, City Skyline, Dam Tabs, Baby Seat Zone, and Bubble Tubes.

Dive into hands-on water play inspired by the James River and the waterways that shape our region. Children can splash, build, and experiment as they discover how water moves, create currents, interact with the city skyline, and enjoy sensory-rich experiences designed especially for young learners. Every activity encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and playful exploration.
