A Vortex Timeline
“Every one of our products combines science, education, abstract design, and a bit of magic to create meaningful experiences. Water makes playscapes extra special for families. It promotes free thinking and unstructured games. The experience of playing in water isn’t like tossing a ball around or shaping a sandcastle—we don’t move water; water moves us.”
– Stephen Hamelin, President & CEO
