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 2025 fall season of family workshops.
