Children's Museum of Sonoma County :: Santa Rosa, California

An interactive, aquatic ecosystem provides outdoor fun and playful exploration at the Children's Museum of Sonoma County. The goal of this waterfall and stream system was to connect children and adults to water in their environment by replicating the Russian River watershed. The water feature captures and filters rainwater while attracting local wildlife such as butterflies, dragonflies, frogs, and more. The entire stream is recirculated through a large wetland filtration system, showcasing the importance of native wetlands to the health of local aquatic ecosystems.
