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. ft.

Serving North Central Minnesota, WonderTrek Children's Museum provides interactive exhibits, events, and community outreach designed to bring play and learning experiences to children and families. We envision a more vibrant and connected region because all children enjoy the supportive relationships, expanding opportunities, and wellbeing they need to thrive. Currently, WonderTrek Children’s Museum will open as a one-of-a-kind children’s museum built entirely for outdoor exploration. WonderTrek’s Outdoor Adventure is nine acres of fenced-in freedom designed to restore the kind of hands-on discovery that naturally comes from outdoor play. WonderTrek currently consists of the 2500 sq. Adventure Outfitters Studio and several immersive outdoor exhibits and environments. Thoughtful planning and design make it easy for parents and guardians to feel confident as children safely explore, take risks, and follow their imaginations. Future phases will continue expanding the museum experience.

On Saturday, we welcomed our family and friends for a pilot playdate at WonderTrek! These individuals, businesses, and families all played a vital role in making WonderTrek possible, and we are incredibly grateful for their support and encouragement. 💚

They helped our staff test our exhibits and the check-in/check-out process so that we will be ready to welcome guests next month! We can't wait to see you at WonderTrek!
