Bronx Children’s Museum is proud to host its first annual City of Water Day "In Your Neighborhood" event at Mill Pond Park.
Join us for a fun-filled day on the shores of the Harlem River exploring and learning about water and how it connects us all.
Saturday, July 13, from 10am - 2pm, Bronx Children’s Museum is offering water-themed art activities and science experiments for all. Our big purple Museum On the Go! bus will be on hand for free tours featuring our current exhibit Waters On the Go! exploring the natural habitats of the Bronx and Harlem Rivers and Orchard Beach.
City of Water Day Now in its 12th year, City of Water Day is a free New York Harbor-wide day organized by the Waterfront Alliance and its partners to get people to, on, and in the water. The day’s activities champion the shared goal of a climate resilient New York Harbor that is prepared for rising seas and increased coastal storms. Dozens of communities in New York and New Jersey host City of Water Day events in celebration of our region’s 1,600 miles of coastline. In collaboration with the New York–New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program, In Your Neighborhood events this year include 50 free waterfront events, with nearly 100 participating organizations, across all five boroughs, Westchester County, and New Jersey.

It's great to see the Bronx Children's Museum getting involved with City of Water Day, especially with their Museum On the Go! bus. Exploring the natural habitats of the Bronx and Harlem Rivers sounds like a wonderfully educational experience. Sometimes after a big day out, a quiet mental challenge is just what I need, like a round of MeowdoKu.
This sounds like such a fantastic event! I love the idea of water-themed art and science experiments at Mill Pond Park for City of Water Day. It reminds me how important it is to engage kids with learning in fun ways, and maybe even teach them a bit about financial literacy too, like with StonkRider.
It's great to see the Bronx Children's Museum bringing the 'Waters On the Go!' exhibit to Mill Pond Park. Exploring the natural habitats of the Bronx and Harlem Rivers sounds fascinating and very inspiring. For anyone wanting to visualize these concepts or even design their own 'on the go' museum ideas, a Free AI Image Generator could be a really cool tool to play with.
This sounds like such a wonderful event! I love the idea of the water-themed art activities for kids. I bet there were some amazing photos taken that day, and for anyone with an iPhone, it's always handy to have a tool to convert those pictures. I often use a heic to jpg converter when I need to share photos widely.
This actually sounds like such a fun way for families to learn more about the environment while spending time outside together. I’d definitely check out the Museum On the Go! bus — it seems a lot more educational than spending the whole weekend playing FNF (fun rhythm game).
