Friends,

You are invited to join in the excitement happening at Wonder Works! Wonder Works is a place where children can explore, socialize and learn through play; in a safe, clean environment. While the world has turned upside down, Wonder Works has stayed strong and we have been hard at work to bring quality programming back to the museum. This email will highlight the fun and educational programs we are working on. Tickets go on sale soon, we hope you can join in the learning through PLAY!
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. Imaginations will run wild as children have free rein to tinker, make and engineer all while developing critical early childhood STEM skills!
Wondereen and...Boo!
The spooky fun continues with Wondereen and...Boo! A fall favorite returns to scare you into a good time. Tickets on sale beginning October 7th.
Dino Works Returns!
Go back in time...way way back, and explore a world where terrible lizards ruled the earth. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon.
As the winter nights linger, so do Stories with Santa to fill the cold nights with warm thoughts and cheer. Keep an eye out for exact timing and ticket prices.
The biggest party in Oak Park for the smallest amongst us. Noon Year’s Eve is returning! More details will be coming soon.
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.
