Activities
Water's Extreme Journey offers a fully interactive maze experience along with five additional activities located just outside the maze. Through play, scientific inquiry, art and action, visitors learn how they can contribute to healthy, safe water in their community.
Water's Extreme Journey Maze
Wyland’s themed maze game transforms visitors into a drop of water entering a watershed, sending them on a journey through different watershed habitats including lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands, estuaries, bays, and oceans. Along the way they must navigate Non-Point Source Pollutants originating from agriculture, development, litter, and our homes. Visitors will learn how to make cleaner choices and will reach the reward of a healthy ocean.
Investigation Science Center
Be a science sleuth! Following the steps of the scientific method, visitors will conduct their own hands-on investigation of water properties and quality. After conducting 4 tests to identify turbidity, pH, salinity, and diversity, visitors will solve the mysteries of where their water came from and if it is polluted.
Watershed Experience
Shed some light on your local watershed! An interactive demonstration and a bird’s-eye view of a small town teaches visitors how easily Non-Point Source Pollution occurs in their own backyard.
Clean Water Commitment Center
Each of us has the power to make a difference and keep water clean - all it takes is a few adjustments to our daily decisions. Visitors are offered a variety of lifestyle changes that help keep water clean. The cumulative impact of each change they pledge to make is revealed, clearly demonstrating the positive impact an individual can make on the environment.
Art In Action
Write a letter! Paint a painting! Express yourself in support of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Act and experience the value of being an involved citizen. Letters and paintings are delivered to pertinent political figures across America.
Giant Community Mosaic
Be a piece of the big picture! Using their imagination, visitors create one of over 700 mosaic tiles that are combined to make a huge, beautiful work of art. The Wyland designed watershed mosaic reinforces the power of the community coming together for a common goal.

Why Water?
Water is among the hottest conservation topics in the news today, uniting us all. A Harris Interactive poll found that Americans rank water pollution as the number one environmental concern facing the country. The Water's Extreme Journey tour is a front line effort to empower millions of people with the knowledge they need to become caring, informed stewards of our waterways and the wildlife that depends on them. Through Wyland’s holistic approach to water - including art, animal stewardship, conservation, positive political action, and fundamental education – the tour promotes your institution’s active involvement in addressing this critical conservation issue.

Local Impact
Improving water quality begins in our own backyards. Water's Extreme Journey helps local government, conservation and environmental organizations, and host institutions announce their efforts to keep the local watershed clean and to provide for healthy living.

Local messaging opportunities:
•Educational content relates to rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, estuaries, bays, and oceans. The message can be applied to any location.
•Art in Action – In support of The Clean Water Authority Restoration Act, visitors write letters and draw pictures that will be delivered to pertinent local officials.
•Investigation Science Center – Each investigation activity and watershed presentation is an opportunity to discuss local issues and to promote success stories.

Measurement of Success
It’s all in the numbers. Total visitor pledges are tallied by the Commitment Kiosk to determine visitor’s collective positive impact on the local watershed. This impact in conjunction with the letters and paintings created in support of “The Clean Water Authority Restoration Act” demonstrates the value of this exhibit for your community to local press, institution board members and sponsors.
