WonderTrek Children's Museum

WonderTrek Children's Museum We are a developing children's museum serving five counties throughout Greater Minnesota. Further updates on our new site will be shared on this page.

The children’s museum brings together the region’s children and families in shared experiences that are grounded locally and open onto the wider world. We envision a more vibrant and connected region because all children enjoy the supportive relationships, expanding opportunities, and wellbeing they need to thrive. Right now, the offices of the Children's Museum are in the Franklin Art Center in B

rainerd MN. Stay tuned for more information on that and our upcoming remote programming opportunities.

👀 If you think this view is impressive now, just wait.

What looks like dirt, roads, and foundations today will soon become a place where kids can climb, explore, create, discover, and connect with nature. Every week brings new progress, and we are loving watching WonderTrek come to life!

Stay tuned—the adventure is just beginning. 🌲✨

🚧 Things are really starting to take shape at WonderTrek! 🚧

A big milestone is now in place as the HUG Technologies in-floor heating system has been installed in our Adventure Outfitter's Studio. This behind-the-scenes feature may not be the flashiest part of the project, but it will help keep families comfortable year-round while they create, explore, and play.

Every week brings new progress, and it's exciting to see Minnesota's largest children's museum campus continue to come to life right here in the Brainerd Lakes Area.

A huge thank you to HUG Technologies for their incredible partnership and generosity in helping make this space possible. Community support like this is building something truly special for local children and families.

💜 Follow along as WonderTrek takes shape and help us close the final gap to opening day!

We are incredibly honored to be selected as a recipient of a 2025–2026 Difference Maker Grant from the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation!

This generous investment will help bring WonderTrek's Roots & Rigging Exhibit to life—an immersive outdoor play experience designed to spark creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and hands-on learning for children of all ages.

At WonderTrek, we believe play has the power to build confidence, strengthen communities, and inspire the next generation of explorers. We're grateful to the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation for believing in that vision and helping make it a reality.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support WonderTrek as we build a place where children and families can play, create, and discover together.

🔥 A Huge Thank You to Hunt Utilities Group !🔥

Behind every great community project are incredible partners who help bring it to life—and HUG is doing just that.

The HUG Hydronics in-floor heating system is now being installed in WonderTrek's Adventure Outfitter's Studio, helping create a warm, welcoming space for children and families to explore year-round. Their generous in-kind donation is making a lasting impact on this project and helping us build a place where curiosity, creativity, and adventure can thrive—even during Minnesota winters!

Because of partners like HUG, WonderTrek is becoming a reality for the Brainerd Lakes Area.

👏 Please join us in thanking HUG for investing in the future of play, learning, and community.
