For over 30 years, children have learned through PLAY in the enriching environment of Wonder Works Children’s Museum in Oak Park. Our nine permanent exhibits spark playful learning in science, math, pre-literacy, and the arts for kids from birth to 8. Your donation helps fund sensory friendly play sessions, discounted admission for families facing financial hardship, special events, and exhibit improvements — ensuring every child has the chance to play, explore, and grow.
Join us in fueling curiosity and creativity through play — because every child deserves a place to wonder.
