Lifetime Lab to host Water Heritage Open Day

Lifetime Lab at the old waterworks on the Lee Road will host a family fun Water Heritage Open Day on Saturday 18 August from 11am to 4pm. Admission is free and children and adults can enjoy a series of stands and activities.

Throughout the day visitors can become environmental detectives investigating interactive exhibits, discovering the engineering trail around the old Victorian waterworks, participating in hands on experiments at the learning zone and experiencing birds of prey up close.

Fun activities are planned for all ages including creating giant bubbles, launching water rockets, hook a duck, face painting and lots more.

Lifetime Lab manager Mervyn Horgan said: “Our 2010 open day was voted best interactive event by the Heritage Council and this year we are aiming for best overall event.

Lifetime Lab is located in the old Cork city waterworks buildings on the Lee Road. The interactive visitor centre is open seven days a week until 5pm with environmental exhibits, a steam centre, coffee dock, a picnic area and children’s playground to explore and is fully wheelchair accessible.
