Lifetime Lab @ Old Cork Waterworks

Visitors of all ages will enjoy a visit to the Lifetime Lab with our modern interactive exhibition, steam plant, beautifully restored buildings, children's playground and marvellous views over the River Lee. The buildings which stand at the Waterworks site today date from the 1800s and 1900s but water has been supplied to the city of Cork from the site since the 1760s. The development of Lifetime Lab has involved the conservation and restoration of the Old Waterworks site. The Lifetime Lab Information Centre is open to all visitors and aims to provide information on different environmental topics including Energy, Waste and Water. Trained staff are also available to answer questions and to help direct the visitors to other sources of information.
