Thanks to an incredible show of support and a successful $2M fundraising campaign, Science World’s new Wonder Gallery opened on March 11, 2017. Wonder is a 3,300 square foot, highly interactive, early-learner’s gallery to cultivate curiosity, exploration and discovery of science for our youngest and most impressionable learners—infants to five year olds. In the first month alone, 23,000 people of all abilities, 60% of them children ages 0–5, visited the gallery.
“She had so much fun discovering and rediscovering all stations in the gallery. She loved the water station and the foam sand area. As a parent, I loved that she was able to feed her sensory needs by playing in these areas”
– Mother of a 3.5 year old child with autism
Wonder is a reality thanks to these amazing donors and sponsors!
Thank you for believing in Wonder and helping us build this space that will enrich the lives of all the young children that visit Science World!
