Designed for curious kids ages 5 to 12 and grown ups who love exploring with them.
Welcome to the Wonder World, a vibrant space where we build, create, celebrate, and marvel together.
The adventure begins with Kids Celebrate!, the beloved travelling exhibition from the Canadian Children’s Museum, where young visitors discover how families across the country mark special moments throughout the year.
Then, let imagination take over: create artwork, dream up dazzling structures in an underwater realm, or weave through a forest obstacle course full of surprises. Each area sparks creativity, strengthens connections, and ignites pure kid-powered joy.
Whether you’re crafting, building, exploring, or simply catching your breath while young adventurers take the lead, Wonder World turns imagination into action. Here, kids shape the adventure, and everyone gets in on the fun!
