FloatLab Has Arrived at Bartram's Garden!

That large, iconically bright yellow ring-like structure you might have spotted heading up the Schuylkill River isn’t a mirage—it’s FloatLab, a one-of-a-kind floating public space and waterfront destination, designed by J. Meejin Yoon and Höweler + Yoon Architecture with Bartram's Garden and Mural Arts Philadelphia.

Starting this fall, visitors to the Garden and the Bartram’s Mile section of the Schuylkill River Trail will enjoy a rare, water-level view of an urban river in motion. That’s thanks to FloatLab’s unique ballast system, which allows its circular platform to rise and fall with the rhythm of the Tidal Schuylkill River.

Get ready to reconnect with the life-sustaining, beating heart of our city through hands-on workshops, outdoor art programs, kayaking, fishing, and other riverfront activities.
