Construct Cardboard Wonders at Box Works
a five-day, immersive fort-building museum take-over event at
Wonder Works Children's Museum!
Visitors of all ages will completely transform Wonder Works Children's Museum into a maze of box forts, houses, and cardboard inventions during our 5-day Box Works museum takeover event. With specialized tools from Makedo and BoxLox, children can saw, connect, tape, build and transform everyday cardboard boxes into their very own creations.

Wonder Works would not be possible without the support of the hundreds of individuals, foundations and corporations inspired to support the importance of play.
The Donley Foundation has been a huge supporter of Wonder Works and the Community Partner Program, giving access to the museum to hundreds of low-income families who would not otherwise be able to experience the museum.

Wonder Works Children's Museum's programming is partially supported by the Illinois Arts Council Agency
A long-term supporter of the museum, the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation is a vital supporter of the museum's re-opening efforts.


The Oak Park Area Arts Council has supported Wonder Works since the museum opened in 2003, and their support continues to this day.
