Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking!

WG-GetCracking-LogoFINAL-01

 

September 21, 2024 - January 12, 2025

Step into the north England home of cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his loyal and intelligent dog, Gromit. Blast off in Wallace's rocket to the moon, fix the broken Autochef, design your own cracking contraption and more!

This brand-new exhibit builds on problem-solving skills by encouraging children to playfully solve STEM-based problems in fun and engaging ways.

This exhibit is recommended for children ages 3 through 9 and includes a "tot spot" specifically for children under three years of age.
