The Dorothy V. Morehouse WonderWing

lighthouse fun

The WonderWing has reopened with exciting additions. Be sure to call ahead to confirm hours of availability.

In the WonderWing, new interactive features include magnetic sea creatures and puzzle pieces children can postion on a beautiful under-the-sea wall mural, and a "beach" with foam blocks to build sand castles. Discover flora and fauna of the rainforest in a new mural around the treehouse, explore our pirate's bookshelf and relax on a new porpoise seating area.

Children 6 years old and under will have a magical undersea learning experience in our popular WonderWing. The WonderWing is an educational space offering a permanent exhibition on the sea and the creatures that make it their home. Children can explore a pirate ship, perform in a Tiki theater, climb a tree house and slide through a whale. Explore a lighthouse and look through a periscope to find colorful sea creatures. Play hide-and-seek in a kelp forest, go fishing, and listen to a waterfall. The WonderWing is designed for early childhood education with elements that stimulate curiosity, enhance understanding, and draw young visitors to experiment, imagine, explore and discover.
