Wonderland
Imagine – Explore – Marvel
Taking cues from Please Touch’s longtime Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland exhibit, visitors to Wonderland leave the real world behind to explore the wonder of their imaginations. Visitors journey down the Rabbit Hole like Alice and enter a topsy-turvy world, weaving through a circular maze and discovering the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Play croquet with the Queen of Hearts, or join the Dodo for a wild caucus race. Unusual characters, challenging riddles and experiments with optical illusions make Wonderland a “curiouser” and “curiouser” place to be. In Fairytale Garden, a toddler area, enjoy stories and nursery rhymes, including “Rumplestiltskin” and “The Owl and the Pussycat.”
