Marbles Kids Museum

The revitalized water play area within the Splash gallery whisks visitors away to the shores of North Carolina, inviting them to engage in a variety of water activities inspired by the coast. Guests navigate their boats along the meticulously designed coastal landscape, passing by a radiant lighthouse, a custom fog mushroom fountain, and circumnavigating moveable shipwreck terrain and ocean buoys. Throughout their journey, visitors actively interact with different elements of fluid dynamics, influencing the flow of water as it courses through the table. Anchoring the experience is a distinctive Venus flytrap sculpture, serving as a focal point for the water guns affixed at the far end of the installation.
