Our Sensory Water Tunnel transforms outdoor water play into an exciting sensory learning experience. Using the hand pump, children control the flow of water through the see-through tunnel, encouraging them to explore movement, investigate cause and effect, and discover how water behaves through hands-on play. Every interaction inspires curiosity, experimentation and open-ended learning.

Crafted from durable pressure treated timber, our Sensory Water Tunnel is built for everyday use in busy nurseries and schools. The clear viewing tunnel allows children to watch the water as it travels down the sides, creating a captivating visual feature that supports sensory engagement and early scientific thinking. Designed for year-round outdoor use, it blends seamlessly into sensory gardens, water play areas and natural playgrounds.

Ideal for encouraging collaboration, communication and problem-solving, our Sensory Water Tunnel invites children to work together as they pump, observe and experiment with flowing water. It pairs perfectly with our Water Wall, Mud Kitchen, Sensory Pathway and Investigation Station to create an inspiring outdoor environment where children can explore, discover and learn through play.

The team at Eden play have been extremely supportive throughout our project to fully redesign our outdoor area. Throughout the design process the team understood what we wanted and made our vision come to life, taking on feedback and making adjustments to suit our needs. The outdoor area was redesigned for a SEND setting and Eden play listened and made bespoke changes to suit our requirements. The installation process ran extremely smoothly, thanks to the excellent communication of the team onsite, who worked with us flexibly to ensure pupil safety. Matt and team were brilliant throughout! The support continued with the after care too, with the team coming back to offer solutions and complete any snagging work efficiently. It has been a pleasure getting to know the team at Eden play, who have all been extremely professional and supportive from start to finish. I would happily recommend them to others and would have them back for any future projects.

Fantastic company and service. Designed and installed my day nursery garden. Couldn't be happier with it. Eden created such a wonderful environment for our nursery children, who will have years of joy with it!
