• Daily Special Programming

    When planning your visit to Wonder Works Children’s Museum, please know that we feature a block of special programming twice everyday from 11 – 11:30 and 2-2:30.

    The activities vary daily and can include Story Time, Musical Activities, or Gross Motor Activities.

    During Special Programming time, we might meet a children’s author, see a puppet show, touch snakes, have a sing-a-long story time, do yoga, sing and dance, or even do a parade!

    If you are interested in performing or sharing a special talent with Wonder Works visitors, please email us at info@wonder-works.org.

    Avani Chhaya will be reading her children’s book, Lakshmi at the Lake. Lakshmi’s week is chock-full of adventure! From admiring sprawling cypress trees with Mama to birding with Daddy, and packing parathas for picnics with Nani, Lakshmi is eager to explore every inch of the great outdoors. But she soon realizes there is much more to each place than meets the eye. What will she uncover at the lake? In a stirring story about the joys of being in nature, author Avani Chhaya reminds us that the greatest experiences, and even greater discoveries, can often be made in our own backyard and shared with the ones we love.
