Wonder Universe, A Children's Museum

Wonder Universe is a dynamic, play-based learning environment that redefines the boundaries of a traditional museum, building on the strength of our community to create a cross-cultural learning space. Our 15,000-square-foot museum features 20 interactive exhibits designed to promote development and encourage guests to experience learning in innovative, playful ways.

Wonder Universe also offers a diverse array of programming through its community partners, including engaging STEM activities, captivating storytime sessions, creative art classes, and more. These programs are designed to inspire and educate participants of all ages, fostering a love for learning and creativity in a supportive and dynamic environment. Through these varied activities, Wonder Universe aims to enrich the community by providing accessible and enjoyable educational experiences.

We are committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone. As a proud participant in the Museums for ALL program, an initiative by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, we ensure that museum admission is accessible to individuals receiving government assistance (SNAP, EBT, WIC) by offering $3 admission for adults and free admission for children. Additionally, we extend discounts to active teachers, first responders, and military personnel. In 2023, we welcomed over 30,000 guests, with a third of them benefiting from the Museums for ALL admission program.
