Snow Play

Yes, it’s real snow—indoors! Experience the magic of winter weather without needing boots or gloves.

Snowball Throwing

Try your hand at snowball physics! Explore the brachistochrone curve—the fastest path between two points—by throwing along a curve instead of a straight line.

Snowflake Making

Fake Snow?!

Explore sodium polyacrylate, a super-absorbent material that fluffs up like snow but doesn’t melt.

Animal Adaptions

Meet WonderLab animal ambassadors like bees, corn snakes, and newts, and discover how they survive winter weather.

Scents of Winter

Sniff your way through the season with cedar, marshmallow, pine, peppermint, cocoa, and gingerbread—learn how chemistry creates familiar winter smells.

Large Ice Blocks

Head to the water and sensory tables to sculpt and explore colorful blocks of ice with squirt bottles, salt, and arctic animals—turn them into a frozen landscape.
