• Garden open every day until dusk, even on weekends when the museum is shut, but it closes during level-1 weather warnings
• No swimming in fountains: the big fountain is off-limits for bathing and the water in the features is not drinkable, so fill bottles at the drinking fountains around the garden
• Ball courts and ping-pong in the garden's sports area, with bike racks by the cycle path to Devín

The museum fills Bratislava's first pumping station, built in 1886 on the left bank of the Danube. Inside, four large models of the old waterworks, virtual reconstructions you can walk through, and short films show where the city's tap water comes from and where it goes.

Outside, the three-hectare grounds hold a garden with a cascade fountain, a playground, a small water tower with a lookout, and old pumps.
