Details
Imaginations will soar with Children’s Museum of Atlanta's fall featured exhibit Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking!, launching Saturday, Sept. 21. Inspired by the beloved film and television characters, this interactive exhibit invites visitors to engage in creative, hands-on activities that promote problem-solving and resilience. Created in collaboration with Aardman and the Minnesota Children's Museum, the exhibit will educate and entertain kids through Jan. 12, 2025.
Designed for children ages 3 through 9, Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking! invites little inventors into Wallace’s world, where inventions and contraptions often go terribly—but hilariously—wrong. The program provides a natural opportunity for little ones to explore themes around adaptability and experimentation in a safe and lighthearted manner.
In the exhibit’s interactive dining room, kids will experiment with basic principles of engineering and physics by setting the table for a tea party while navigating a range of quirky, comically oversized utensils and tableware or launching porridge from a cannon. Young inventors will also face the challenge of repairing Wallace’s malfunctioning Autochef, learning about mechanical concepts through experiential learning, or soar to new heights by setting a course and blasting off to the moon in Wallace’s rocket. The exhibit promotes STEM-based problem-solving, making the process of tackling challenges exciting and entertaining.
A designated “Tot Spot” will be available to ensure that children under three can safely explore and engage in age-appropriate activities tailored to their developmental needs.
