Take a Trip to the Colorado River Aqueduct

You will get a behind-the-scenes look at Metropolitan's amazing water distribution system and learn all about water supply in Southern California. This trip is open to teachers and administrators only (ages 18 and over). The deadline to apply is December 3.


Can't make the tour or want a preview?
Take a virtual field trip with our new Aqueduct VR app from the Apple Store or Google Play. This virtual experience requires a headset for proper viewing. We also will come to your classroom with devices and headsets. Contact us for more information.
