WonderTrek Children's Museum

WonderTrek Children's Museum We are a developing children's museum serving five counties throughout Greater Minnesota. Further updates on our new site will be shared on this page.

The children’s museum brings together the region’s children and families in shared experiences that are grounded locally and open onto the wider world. We envision a more vibrant and connected region because all children enjoy the supportive relationships, expanding opportunities, and wellbeing they need to thrive. Right now, the offices of the Children's Museum are in the Franklin Art Center in B

rainerd MN. Stay tuned for more information on that and our upcoming remote programming opportunities.
