Calling all astronauts and deep space explorers! From January 9 to 20, Wonder Works Children’s Museum is blasting off to outer space! Children can dress up as astronauts, crawl into rocket tents and pretend they’ve landed Mars. In the lunar exploration pit, children can navigate space themed objects as they develop their gross motor skills.
In the art room, children can make galaxy spin art, explore the gravity of different objects, and engage in space themed sensory activities. Story times will be all about space and we will feature STEM space activities targeted to young children throughout the museum.
