Wonder Works Children’s Museum Strives to Serve ALL Children

Wonder Works Executive Director Rachel Weber says, "Wonder Works Children's Museum stands out because of its size. We are small and mighty and we seek to serve ALL children, regardless of financial difficulties or sensory needs."

In 2024, Wonder Works Children's Museum doubled their number of sensory friendly play sessions. Twice a month on Sunday, the museum opens an hour early for an accessible and inclusive environment and partners with Kids Unlimited Therapy Services and Lifespeed Behavioral Support Services. To best prepare the environment for a sensory friendly experience, each Wonder Works for Everyone session offers pre-registration for a limited number of families.

Through the Museums for All program, Wonder Works Children's Museum offers $3 admission to anyone with a LINK/EBT card. Regular museum admission is $15 per person and $13 for seniors, first responders, educators, and military personnel.

Wonder Works Children's Museum works with several local social service organizations, including Friends of the Children, a House in Austin, and Family Focus, to offer free admission to agency clients. Organizations partnering with Wonder Works can rent the museum at no cost to host private events for their families. The museum also hosts regular community partner nights to bring all the social service agency clients together to play and learn about other services available in the community.

Wonder Works Children's Museum is a 501c3 non-profit organization and depends on donations to make museum admissions possible for ALL children. Make a gift to Wonder Works today at www.wonder-works.org/give .
