The Hudson River Dive Bell
Enter our all new simulated dive bell, the Children’s Museum’s own yellow submarine! With the help of sound, light and motion effects, let your imagination take over as we pretend to descend into the depths of the Hudson River to see what is under all that water. View live Hudson River fish through the portals. Catch Hudson River fish replicas with a robotic arm; test yourself on these various Hudson River aquatic animals; then return the fish down the shoot, back to the watery depths. Learn what an estuary is- the fresh and salt water of the Hudson. Take a look through the periscope and witness the real Hudson River out the windows of the museum. Find and identify Hudson River marine birds. Climb through the submarine hatch and explore!
