A great place for toddlers to elemntary schoolers to explore, play, and learn about puzzles, water, air currents, gravity, building blocks, etc.
Took a few kids there and they had a great time for a rainy day, or anytime! You need to call first and make sure there's no school tour going on so it's not so packed.
My grandson and I love to go Wonderscope. We arrive at noon on Wednesdays and pretty much Abe the place to ourselves. He loves the water room, the art room and the medical room. We are anxious for the race room and farm to market room to reopen. I hope it is soon. The staff is friendly. For any child under 8, this is a great place to pass an afternoon. As far as the complaint that adults have to pay, I participate in the art and love to build with the Legos! Play with your child!
Great use of old school. My kids particularly liked the art room. Don't go if you are in a rush because its not worth the money. It is not cheap so best to enjoy for half day or more!
Very cool for young kids under 5 very creative things so may thing they can do on their own would go again
This is a place for kids to learn. This is less a museum and more of a hand-on play and learning facility. It is not owned by the local school district but they use it for field trips and rooms can be reserved for parties and birthdays.It is in an old elementary school building. Each room has something different and fun for the kids to do in math, social studies, science, and art.It is WELL WORTH a visit.
Our daughters love wonder scope. Fun, interactive and hands-on. We have an annual membership and take full advantage. Best for 2-7 age group. Also fun place to have birthday parties.
Kids love to learn if it is fun and this place fits them like a glove! If you call ahead, they have a bulletin they can mail you of events they have for children giving you the ages appropriate to the task. My grandson loved it. Have the right attitude when you go and you will enjoy it also.Their Story Time plus Crafts are great for kids 1st grade and under while an older child will be more interested in plays and art. But, the little ones LOVE face painting (especially on their Dad) and the animal feeding. Go to: wonderscope.com/shawnee to plan your trip if you are out of town or in town. Your kids will love you for it..if you take one of their pals along they will be in Heaven!
Kids are 2,4,&7 and loved it!! Something for them to do no matter their interest. No visual distraction when playing one area and only one exit to corral kids excitement! Great use for remodeling a school!
I haven't gone her but my daughter has taken my grand daughter there a couple of times. Grand daughter loves it
