Established in 1974, the Waterworks Museum is housed in a historic Victorian water pumping station which served as Hereford's main water supply station for well over a century. The museum's exhibits cover the history of drinking water from the earliest prehistoric times through to the present day.

Hello (I am replying as a volunteer at the Waterworks Museum). Please note that the water park is currently closed for winter maintenance - it will re-open on 18 March 2018, and will then be open each day the Museum is open until the end of October 2018. There is no admission charge for children under 3, then the charge for children is £2 whether you attend on a Tuesday or on an in-steam open-day. In addition to the water park there is a play area and dressing up box for younger children in the visitors centre. I hope this information is helpful.
