Wonder Works Children's Museum

Meet us where the business is play

 
With seven exhibits dedicated to creative play, Wonder Works is the place where children are the boss and play is the only thing on the agenda.

The Children’s Garden teaches kids where food comes from and jumpstarts a healthy relationship with vegetables. (It turns out kids will readily eat vegetables when they are the growers and harvesters!)

In the Great Outdoors exhibit, kids explore a forest and treehouse with the sound effects of the wild as the backdrop. In Build It! shape, size, and spatial awareness are explored. As kids build with their own hands using teamwork and cooperation, the “little” concepts of physics and math are introduced in a way that is nothing but fun.

North Avenue Art Works is the exhibit that encourages open-ended craft. Art materials are provided and the product is entirely up to the imagination of the creator. Perhaps the artwork produced will be sold at the Farm to Market play zone, which allows children (and their adults!) to role play as goods are bartered and sold.

Attend the theater at the kid-controlled production Lights, Camera, Action! With spotlights, cameras, and costumes, some children will want to star on the stage and others will pull the strings from the behind-the-scenes.

In the Becky Boyce Nature Space, kids can get outdoors where learning opportunities are built into the landscape.
