Cue the curiosity, crank up the creativity—Kidspace Children’s Museum just launched a summer experience that’s lighting up young minds in the most brilliant ways. Meet Wired for Wonder, a multisensory, maze-like exhibit that transforms art, neuroscience, and engineering into a full-body playground of learning and delight.
The exhibit that’s more than just play
Kidspace has cracked the code: If you make learning feel like play, kids won’t just retain knowledge—they’ll run toward it. With Wired for Wonder, summer break becomes a chance to build brainpower, make memories, and leave boredom in the dust.
While most kids are in danger of hitting the dreaded “summer slide”—losing up to two months of math and science skills over break—Kidspace is flipping that script. Wired for Wonder turns summer downtime into a summer stride, letting kids explore complex STEAM concepts through hands-on, high-sensory play.
And here’s the kicker: Your kids won’t even know they’re learning. At Wired for Wonder, they can:
- Weave through glowing light tunnels
- Engage in sound-reactive experiences
- Touch ALL the art!
- Cool off their taste buds in The Chill Lab
- Create, collaborate, and crawl their way through curiosity
It’s open daily, now with new evening hours on Fridays and Saturdays for those post-dinner energy bursts. The best part? Wired for Wonder at Night includes extra special opportunities, like dessert at The Chill Lab—a delicious scientific exploration of your favorite summer treats!
Designed for all ages & all brains
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all setup. Whether you have a curious crawler, a wildly creative 5-year-old, or a tween who “doesn’t like museums” (yet), Wired for Wonder brings them in and keeps them engaged. The exhibit was co-created as part of Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative, and it shows—every corner is smart, sensory, and surprisingly soothing.
Neurodivergent kids will love the low-pressure exploration, and there are toddler-friendly zones for those just learning to walk (or climb). It’s built for co-play, but if you’re more the stroller-pusher/photo-snapper/safety-watcher type, that works too.
Even the littlest learners will love it. The soft, colorful elements are perfect for sensory stimulation, and babywearing through the maze is totally doable. Bonus: you’ll feel like an astronaut in a very tiny science fiction movie.
Science is sweet (and so is this limited-time deal)
Discounted admission is available for a limited time, so if you’re thinking of going, now’s the moment. Fridays and Saturdays even offer extended evening hours, perfect for families looking to beat the heat (or sleep in).
