Blast Off to Outer Space Museum Takeover

Saturday, January 17, 2026 · 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

Calling all astronauts and deep space explorers! From January 15 to 26, Wonder Works Children’s Museum is blasting off to outer space! We will have activities related to outer space throughout the museum. Children can dress up as astronauts, crawl into rocket tents and pretend they’ve landed on Mars. In our lunar exploration pit, children can navigate space themed objects as they develop their gross motor skills. In the art room, children can make water color planets, test the gravity of different objects, and engage in space themed sensory activities. Our story times will be all about space.
