Come visit the Laredo Water Museum
“ Brilliant learning experience, a must for all ages, one of a kind @artbypino.

“ The Laredo Water Museum is an educational and informative must see place for everyone. It's a modern hands-on museum, giving valuable insights into the world of water, for instance the water consumption of households, the importance of the Rio Grande's ecosystem and a step-by-step explanation of how water is processed. One is asked to sign in upon entering, but strangely enough there was no museum staff member around while we were there.

“ Although it may be small, the Water Museum offers some modern and colorful infographics on Laredo's water treatment. There are interactive displays to keep the children occupied, and plenty of water facts and tidbits for older guests to read. It's free admission, so why not give it a visit and relax while you're visiting Laredo.
