The Great River
The Great River exhibit teaches the importance the river has to the region. Children will be able to light up the Memphis skyline, homes, and bridges with a hydro-electric dam, experience a vortex, work on a dock with a crane, see the Hernando de Soto Bridge, learn about the wetlands and flyway and the ever-popular fishing poles.
Imagine:
- Children experience a vortex using a fin and see the vortex both collapse and reappear.
- River channels are blazing new trails as children create paths using channel gates.
- Experience the life of a boat captain as they navigate their barge through the water table.
- Understand the principles of hydroelectric power using LED lights.
- And the ever favorite is the fishing pond where they can cast their magnetic lure, observing the current and floating lily pads to bring in their catch.
