“All of the staff is very friendly and work hard to keep everything picked up while the kids play.”

What parents say
I used to love taking my kids to the old Wonderscope museum on Johnson drive and hadn't been to the new one since it relocated. I was blown away. The kids had a fantastic time and there was tons to do inside AND outside.
Wonderscope was definitely filled with delightful wonders and gems for young children. They had sanitized to the highest level. It was very clean and well lit. Staff were kind and prompt in answering questions and responding to concerns. My 3 grandson truly enjoyed himself.
Our recent visit was a blast for the whole family! This place offers an incredible variety of activities that kept our kids entertained all day long. From painting crafts, water activities, and sports to a science lab, outdoor play areas, and riding 3-wheeler bikes, there was never a dull moment.
We bought a year membership for our family last year, and we've used it heavily! I've got 4 kids ages range from 3 to 12, and they all love going here. I've taken some of my older kids' friends, and they loved it, too. This place is like if Science City and Paradise Park had a baby.
