WATER’S EXTREME JOURNEY

Article Photo

Inside the Water’s Extreme Journey maze exhibit visitors
may be feeling a little dirty. This realistic role-play adventure presents one great challenge: To stay clean. Sound easy? Think again…

  

The Water’s Extreme Journey maze transforms visitors into a raindrop and sends them on a journey through mountains, streams and even their own backyards where every day decisions impact their chance of staying clean and reaching a healthy ocean.
While investigating winding pathways, visitors are challenged to navigate through Non-Point Source Pollutants originating from agriculture, development, litter, and our homes.

Will the farm they pass by be organic? Did someone pour leftover paint down the drain?
This fully interactive maze experience engages visitors through play, scientific inquiry,
art and action, illuminating human impacts great and small while teaching how to
contribute to healthy, safe water in their community and beyond.


Created by world renowned marine life artist Wyland, and Seattle-based Minotaur Mazes, Water’s Extreme Journey blends art, science and action. “Our goal is to immerse you in the subject by making you a raindrop susceptible to the whims of human
activities.” Wyland says. “It’s a fun way to explore the challenges of keeping our water clean. adds Wyland. With a little luck, and a few attempts, visitors learn how to make cleaner choices and discover the rewards of a healthy ocean.
