LifeTown Sneak Peek @ Water Room

The water table and interactive water play area will keep kids entertained and moving. All the displays and features will include therapeutic components that will be controlled as they push, spin, pull and twirl. The rain cloud will teach them important life-skills in an interactive setting.

The Water Room will present fun and interactive tactile engagement and therapy. The setting will allow for children of all abilities to interact and enjoy the activities together.

Thank you to Greg Gallimore and Cloudberry Studio for all their incredible work!
