Wonderscope has added new exhibits in the last year and refreshed favorite exhibits. We are using the master plan for our future museum as the foundation for new exhibit and program experiences in our current location. Watch for more exciting changes in the next few months!
Farm To Market
In Farm to Market, children may play in the barn, HOIST HAY BALES UP THE
KID-POWERED CONVEYOR, collect eggs from a chicken coop, feed a calf,
dress up as farm animals and put on a farm animal puppet show. They may
also harvest fruits and vegetables from the garden and bring them to the
farmer's market, where they can pretend to buy and sell healthy foods.
TinkerSpace
Build, experiment, collaborate and test in TinkerSpace! TinkerSpace opened in fall of 2009 with structures and contraptions in an exciting space-themed environment.
Build Your Own Raceways
Build Your Own Raceways, generously supported by the Junior League of Wyandotte and Johnson Counties, opened in fall of 2009 and is currently located in TinkerSpace. Experiment with design and engineering as you learn about energy, motion, friction, force and gravity.
