WONDER, IMAGINATION AND POSSIBILITY
Mayor Clayton's WonderLab is an interactive, hands-on educational experience where creativity, imagination, and technology meet to inspire kids of all ages! The WonderLab is designed to be a focal point for discovery and exploration, sparking curiosity, teamwork, and childlike wonder through hands-on projects such as robot obstacle courses, 3D-printing, weaving, stop motion video creation, hydraulics, and more!

The WonderLab
From the glowing energy lights on the roof, the giant banner calling for makers, inventors, and creators, to the friendly WonderBots welcoming everyone inside, kids of all ages will want to discover what is beyond the WonderLab doors!
Lab Access
Lab Access is the futuristic entrance where families are welcomed by an animatronic Mayor Clayton, sponsored by Garner Holt Education Through Imagination. Here, they will learn what activities are available for the day and how the lab is powered by kids creative energy!
The Hub
The Hub will showcase the power source of the whole lab, the Brilliance Bottler, which is powered by kids’ wonder, imagination, and possibility; proving this is a lab made for kids and powered by kids. It doubles as a collaborative game station too! This room will also lead to all other rooms so guests can choose their own adventure.
Tech 101
Tech 101 is where visitors see how technology and art combine! Stop motion animations, 3D printing, and green screen video creations are a few of the exciting activities families will find here.
Test & Try Lab
The Test & Try Lab is a room built for collaboration and scheduled workshops. One side has flexible seating and rolling worktables to accommodate any learning experience, the other side features a set of three Garner Holt Education Through Imagination animatronics ready for kids to operate.
The Puzzle Portal
The Puzzle Portal is a 270-degree round room designed for our giant 3D printed marble run. Guests can build any marble run their imaginations can dream up!
The Volts & Bolts Studio
The Volts & Bolts Studio is where kids have the opportunity to join hands-on workshops and learn how animatronics are built from the ground up using tools and animatronic kits from Garner Holt Education Through Imagination.
