Wonderland

Imagine – Explore – Marvel

Taking cues from our current Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland exhibit, visitors to Wonderland leave the real world behind to explore the wonder of their imaginations. Children may either travel down the ramp from River Adventures or slide down the Rabbit Hole to enter the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland. Weave through a circular maze and discover the Tea Party, the Hall of Doors and Mirrors, the Pool of Tears and Caucus Race, and the Duchess’ Kitchen.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.’
