Wonderworks Children’s Museum in The Dalles reopened a couple of weeks ago after sixteen months of limited operations due to the pandemic. Wonderworks board member Nichole Biechler (beek-ler) says the closure allow them an opportunity to refresh their facility and bring in new exhibits. They include a complete camp space with a linear climbing area, and a stage area where kids can play theater and dress-up. Biechler says they should be getting another exhibit in the next few days: big blue blocks she expects will be popular with children. Wonderworks is located at 206 Madison in The Dalles, and is open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Admission is free this month, plus they are holding a school supply giveaway for elementary school students thanks to a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation.
