WonderLab New Year’s Eve For Kids 2024!

Skip the late bedtime and celebrate New Year’s Eve for Kids at WonderLab! Staying up until midnight isn’t always ideal for young ones, but at WonderLab, they can enjoy all the fun early and with an educational twist.

Our family-friendly early evening New Year’s party includes learning about science, all things Glitter!, and rocking in the New Year with an early evening dance party and countdown.
