Blast Off into Outer Space

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 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 galaxy spin art, explore the gravity of different objects, and engage in space themed sensory activities. Our story times will be all about space and we will feature STEM space activities targeted to young children throughout the museum.
On Saturday, January 17 and Saturday, January 24, from 10am to 12pm, Kids Science Labs will join our exploration of outer space with some interactive science experiments including galaxy slime, light spectrum exploration, and dry ice experiments. On both Saturdays, children will have the chance to build a space vision goggle to take home. Blast Off Into Outer Space science activities are possible thanks to a grant from the Oak Park Township and River Forest Township Youth Services committees.
All Blast Off To Outer Space activities are included in the regular price of admission.
