From a vision to reality
The Children’s Imaginarium will open its doors in Fall 2023, thanks to the grassroots effort of passionate community members who were dedicated to creating a space for children to learn, parents to engage, and families to connect. Maggie Gordon and Tammy Szekeress rallied community support to raise the necessary funds and secure a location. After years of persistence and hard work, the vision for a children’s museum in downtown Wausau is becoming a reality.
