Eye-level with the Schuylkill, you\u2019ll walk the same underground paths as a royal family and Olympic swimmers during a behind-the-scenes look at Philadelphia\u2019s first tourist destination and hear about the future expansion of the landmark that pioneered engineering, tourism, and environmental awareness in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Visitors will also experience the Water Works\u2019 new music and light installation provided by the Blair Brothers and Luce Group. This is where \u201cTributaries\u201d was recently performed to a sold-out crowd.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMilling Around\u201d tours will be provided every Sunday at 2:00pm. Although the tour is free, reservations are required due to high demand. Please note that this is a hard-hat tour, and may not be accessible for all of our visitors.<\/p>\n
