Wonderland Park on Lake Street (South)
Academic

In 1905, Wonderland Park offered the public the chance to do everything from ride one of the world’s finest carousels to witness amazing, death-defying acts. The park, located at East Lake St and 31st Ave S, also featured infants born prematurely on display in electric incubators. Leave this presentation with a deeper understanding of America’s love affair with electricity. This class is scheduled to take place in person. If we are unable to hold classes in person or are limited in what locations we can use, this class will be moved to an online platform at the same date and time. In that event, a Community Education staff will share information about attending through an online platform.
