MISSION, KS, February 28, 2025 — Wonder & Whoa, an innovative cultural arts center designed for children ages 3-12, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its permanent location on Johnson Drive in Mission, Kansas. This dedicated space will serve as a hub for cultural exploration, creative expression, and community connection, offering dynamic classes and experiences that introduce children to the richness of global traditions.

Founded on the belief that cultural exposure fosters empathy, curiosity, and a lifelong love of exploring, Wonder & Whoa provides hands-on programs in arts and crafts, music exploration, nature play, yoga and mindfulness, food and nutrition, storytelling, and folklore.

The new location features bright, interactive spaces designed to inspire wonder and curiosity.  The space will host daily classes focused on a new cultural theme from around the world each week.  In addition to its core programming, Wonder & Whoa will host special pop-up events, family gatherings, and collaborations with local artists, chefs, and cultural organizations to deepen the experience of global learning.

To celebrate its grand opening, Wonder & Whoa will host an open house on March 1, 2025 from 10a – 2p. Classes launch the following week starting on March 3rd.
