WonderLab offers a friendly learning environment with engaging hands-on science exhibits that support current Indiana Academic Standards in Science and classroom instruction. WonderLab welcomes group s of all ages, including adults, and people of all abilities. Groups are defined as a minimum of ten paid individuals with a confirmed reservation at least two weeks prior to the visit.

We believe that we can offer an educational experience of greater depth to a group at the museum, but if such a trip is not possible, then we also offer off-site educational outreach services.

BASIC GROUP VISIT: $4.50 per student
The basic group visit is a self-directed exploration of the exhibit galleries facilitated by museum staff and volunteers stationed throughout the gallery. For a more structured educational experience, you may download the WonderChallenge.pdf file. We strongly encourage you to think about the gift store as an educational opportunity. Lunch room facilities are free, but are only available by reservation.


GROUP VISIT Plus SOUVENIR PACKAGE: $5.50 per student
Combine a basic group visit with a fun and educational souvenir about the physics of light and color! Each student will receive a pair of rainbow glasses, which have special lenses that bend and separate light into the colors of the visible spectrum, and a sheet with experiments to do with rainbow glasses back at school or at home.

After you choose which type of group visit you want, you have the option of adding a special science demonstration or lab session. Prices are:

• Science Demonstration: $30 per demonstration
