Wonderworks Children's Museum
Come with your little ones to check out the new exhibits at the Wonderworks Children’s Museum Playstation. The Playstation offers a new Play and Pretend Deli & Kitchen and the Wonderworks Bernouli Blower, an exhibit that suspends balls in mid air. 

See the Wonderworks Children's Museum Website.

Wonderworks museum is a grassroots movement that will take the drive and talents of those that use the Museum to recreate this Gorge resource for our kids.  Do you have ideas for exhibits or decorative arts, want to explore publishing, or not yourself if you can't organize something? Call or email to find out more and join the WW team! Questions? E-mail us or call 541-296-1057.
