My 3 year old son did the drop off Stem Club programming this past winter and he thoroughly loved it. The staff is warm and welcoming, they acknowledge each child individually, they take care when transitioning students into their programing and help them feel comfortable. The crafts and engagement each week is so fun to hear about. I would highly recommend The Wonderlab drop off programs, and my son is looking forward to camp this summer. There aren't many programs/camps for children of this age, and I'm really glad that the Wonderlba decided they could do it, because the excel at it.

Summer Camp 2026: I can’t say enough good things about our summer camp experience. Kate (the director and owner) was absolutely amazing with our son. On hard drop off days, she spent 1-1 time with him and made sure he had a great day. The activities are so interactive and fun. He came home with something almost everyday and definitely plenty of stories to tell! The counselors were all amazing and attentive. We would not hesitate to do summer camp again. We are very grateful for our first summer camp experience to have been with Wonderlab!

Our 3.5 year old absolutely loved his weeks at Wonderlab’s 2026 summer camp! We enrolled him in multiple weeks and were so impressed by the creative projects he got to do and the different subjects he came home excited to tell us about. Kate and the other teachers clearly put so much thought and energy into each week. Even after attending several sessions, our son continued to look forward to drop off every single day. At pickup, he couldn’t wait to show me the hats, wands, artwork, potion bottles, boats, and other creations he had made.

The Wonderlab team was also incredibly organized and communicative. We especially appreciated receiving photos of the teachers and information about the week’s activities ahead of time as it gave us a chance to help our son know who he would be with and what projects he could look forward to.

We feel lucky to have found such a special camp. It was a wonderful experience for our son, and we also love being able to support a fantastic local business. We’ll definitely be looking forward to future camps at Wonderlab!

My 3.5 year-old daughter has enjoyed playing at the Wonder lab since she was 1.5 when we moved to Durham. This summer, I was so glad to find they have summer camps for 3-5 year olds. Most camps accepts kids who are 4 or up, so it was hard to find a camp for my 3 year-old daughter. Her first language is not English but all the teachers and staff are kind and patient. She had a lot of fun and wanted to go to the camp again. I highly recommend open play, various STEM classes, and summer camps. The Wonder Lab provides excellent activities for toddlers to learn and play.

We chose The Wonder Lab for our 2‑year‑old’s birthday party, and I could not have been happier with the experience. Our family visits the Wonder Lab regularly for open play, and it is always an enjoyable weekend activity. The space is inviting, fun, interactive, and wonderfully STEM‑focused — all without being overstimulating for little ones.

For the party, The Wonder Lab delivered that same seamless experience. They handled everything: food, decorations, activities (we chose the dinosaur theme), and even age‑appropriate party favors. All my husband and I had to do was show up with our son and welcome our guests.

Our son had an absolute blast — no party‑induced meltdown this year — and several guests commented on how positive and well‑run the experience was. It was exactly what we were hoping for, and I can’t recommend The Wonder Lab highly enough for a young child’s birthday celebration.
