What parents say
So happy this space exists in Durham now! The owners are so thoughtful and have created a space that feels comfortable and fun for kids and adults alike. From baskets to put ‘tasted toys’ in for sanitization. to free coffee and tea for the grownups, they have really thought of everything.
My kids LOVE The Wonder Lab! We've visited the play space several times and it is always very clean and age appropriate for my kiddos. We decided to try the summer camp this year and my 4 and 5 year old loved it! They came home every single day excited to go back again.
Very clean in the play space and eating is done in a separate space, and shoes are off in the play space, socks required for all. Wasn't very crowded during the time slot we went, 1230-2. Free coffee and tea available and snacks available for purchase.
We had the absolute BEST experience having our daughter’s 2nd birthday at The Wonder Lab! The facility is absolutely perfect for a toddler get together. The activities are engaging. The space is spotless. The employees (Brittany!) were so kind, organized and professional.
