Welcome to The Wonder Club!
Here at The Children’s Museum of the Upstate, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of “wonder.” That’s why it’s one of our six core values. We love it so much we created an entire club just to encourage young learners and their families to follow their curiosity! Check out our 2026 workshop lineup.
The ticket cost includes admission to the museum and all-day play. Advanced registration is required for both adults and children. Classes are non-refundable. All children must be accompanied by an adult to the class.
