What to Expect at the WNDR Museum

The exhibits are designed to be fully participatory, meaning you won't just be observing—you'll be part of the art itself. Whether it's stepping into a room filled with vibrant digital projections, exploring a mirrored infinity space, or contributing your own artistic touch to evolving installations, the WNDR Museum encourages you to engage your senses and let your creativity run wild.

This shed pictured above creates a digital rendition of a rainstorm, that starts with just a few plinks of rain, then turns into a thunderstorm and ends with a glorious sunrise.  It's quite unique and can be experienced from either inside or outside of the shed.  Get ready to be surrounded with light, sound and the wonder of an indoor rainstorm.

Visitors can proceed through each exhibit at their own pace.  Sometimes you'll have entire rooms all to yourselves and other times you may encounter other groups.  Certain rooms encourage you to flop down on cushy seating to experience what's happening.  You can definitely go along at whatever pace you choose.

One of the best aspects of the WNDR Museum is how it caters to all age groups. Children will be captivated by the sensory-rich environments, while adults will appreciate the blend of contemporary art and cutting-edge technology.

It’s an ideal outing for families looking to explore something new together.

Each exhibit is thoughtfully curated to spark curiosity and wonder. You'll find yourself moving from one room to the next, eager to see what surprises await. And don't be surprised if your kids want to stay a little longer in each room—there's so much to see, touch, and explore.  Hello?  Hello?

You can even opt to leave a little piece of yourself for other visitors to enjoy on the Wisdom Wall.  An ever changing wall of wisdom knows no bounds and we were impressed with the creativity that so many had shared.
