"Alice's Wonderland" Exhibit
Museum of Discovery
Scientific twists, mathematical turns, literary puzzles and more await visitors who visit the Museum of Discovery.
Alice's Wonderland is a new, interactive exhibit based on Lewis Carroll's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With 2,500 square feet of hands-on experiences to explore, people of all ages become as curious as Alice in a journey that makes the unknown more familiar, maybe even logical, and most certainly fun.
Visitors are reminded of the story in each exhibit area through quotes from the original book and are delighted by encounters with some of the tale's famous characters. The exhibit features areas such as the Riverbank, the Hall of Doors, and The Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
The target audience for Alice's Wonderland is children ages 3 to 10, together with their parents and teachers but the topic and interactive nature of the exhibit provides broad appeal: day cares, scouts, and youth groups, local families looking for fun outing, and out of state visitors seeking a fascinating summer experience.
There is no additional charge to experience the exhibit; entry is included in Museum admission.
