Have you heard the buzz?
You have been on this journey with us since the beginning. We’re abuzz with excitement for the future.

You can help us make big progress towards these projects.
Through the Garden Door
A long-awaited change is coming to the Museum, and your gift can help make it happen! We’re excited to announce that this fall, a new door will be installed to provide a safer transition and more convenient entry to the WonderGarden, where birds, butterflies, and bees will flit and buzz among new paths, plantings, and engaging outdoor exhibits in the garden.
Connecting to the Community
Our Greatest Need
Every child deserves the opportunity to discover the wonder of science. Your gift to WonderLab’s Greatest Need ensure that kids of all ages will have the chance to learn that science is fun, surprising, exciting, and also part of everything around us. Together we can continue to build the curious and creative problem solvers who will shape a brighter future for themselves and our world.
Help us meet our goal!
“The WonderLab Museum is so important for our community! It provides a rich environment for learning and exposure to new experiences. In my work, it is the perfect place to engage children in role-playing appropriate behaviors, practicing communication skills, and have fun while doing it.”
