Hudson River Park's Wetlab is a research aquarium that features Hudson River wildlife. During Wetlab Look-ins, visitors can join a guided tour led by the park's River Project team to learn more about fascinating local wildlife, including oyster toadfish, lined seahorses, and blue crabs.

Family Programming: Stop by to experience viewing tanks and a touch tank with local wildlife.

The Wetlab is ADA accessible but is located down the south walkway of Pier 40 which has uneven terrain. Restrooms are not available on-site. The closest restrooms are near the Pier 40 sports fields. Limited stroller, bike, and scooter parking is available.

Family Friendly: Bring the kids! More than a dozen OHNY Weekend partners are offering special activities for families. Most activities are free and open to the public. Explore more.

Water Works: Discover how water shapes the city, from the system of pipes that delivers 1 billion gallons of clean water into (and out of) homes daily, to the working waterfront that drove the city's economy for centuries, to the challenges of adapting 520 miles of shoreline for a wetter future.
