Free Museum Days: Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center

Fish: Playing it Cool around the Holidays!

Do you wonder what happens in the Schuylkill river in the winter?  What do the fish and other animals do when the water gets cold? Learn about the cold-blooded residents of the Schuylkill river and how they survive the winter.  You will also discover a physical difference between hot and cold water and how that can affect fish in the winter. Be creative and make a fish ornament to take home!

Free tours of Fairmount Water Works on the hour from 11am – 2pm with an opportunity to see the new exhibition Take Me to the River, a Schuylkill-themed art show. Hands-on pop-up activity from 11am-3pm
