Wonderworks Reopens With New Exhibits

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.
