Throwback Thursday! Anyone remember our old water lab? How do you think it compares to the new one? The second picture is from 2015!! Let us know in the comments if you ever visited when we had the old water lab!

We recently unearthed a bunch of old facility pictures and are excited to spend the summer reminiscing on all of our past exhibits, and highlighting the upgrades we have made over the years.
