Health is WonderLab’s middle name.
Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in Action™
provides an action adventure theme
that inspires young people and
families to get physically active in a
non-competitive environment.
This exhibition features playful
activities that build strength,
coordination, balance and endurance,
all of which contribute to health and
fitness. Visitors can try activities
they may have never encountered
and revisit familiar activities in
new ways. Cultural spotlights and
real-life stories of young people and
families who are passionate about
a particular activity will motivate
visitors to get into action!
Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in
Action™ was created by Minnesota
Children’s Museum. This is its first
time in Indiana.
