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.
“Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking! is a thrilling blend of creativity, curiosity, and endless fun," said Edwin Link, executive director of the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. "As kids dive into Wallace's world, they’ll not only sharpen their problem-solving skills but also discover joy in making mistakes along the way. The Children’s Museum of Atlanta looks forward to bringing this eclectic exhibit to Atlanta as part of our commitment to inspiring families through the transformative power of play.”
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.
