OUR 6,400 FACILITY CONTAINS NINE INTERACTIVE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EXHIBITS WHICH INSPIRE PLAY-BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN THE ARTS, MATH, MUSIC, SCIENCE, AND LITERACY THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH ILLINOIS EARLY LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. FOCUSING ON AGES 0-8 AND THEIR FAMILIES, OUR GOAL IS TO OFFER NOVEL AND INVIGORATING EXPERIENCES THAT SCHOOLS AND INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY TO PROVIDE. IN 2023, WONDER WORKS INTRODUCED TWO NEW EXHIBITS TO PROMOTE BUILDING SKILLS AND STEM EXPERIMENTATION: A WALL OF WONDER THREE DIMENSIONAL BUILDING STRUCTURE AND A WIND TUNNEL. WE COMBAT INEQUITY THROUGH MULTIPLE ACCESS PROGRAMS, WHICH REMOVE ATTENDANCE BARRIERS FOR FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOME, SENSORY AND ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS, TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS, AND THOSE WHO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. MUSEUM FREE DAYS AND OUTREACH EVENTS ALSO ENSURE THAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN DENIED ACCESS. THE MUSEUM ALSO EXPANDED BEYOND ITS DAY TO DAY FOOTPRINT THROUGH THREE OUTDOOR FESTIVALS TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION THROUGH PLAY: BUBBLE WORKS, WONDER WHEELS, AND DINO WORKS. THE MUSEUM IS AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE PARTIES, PARTIES DURING MUSEUM OPEN HOURS, AND FIELD TRIPS. WONDER WORKS CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, SUPPORTING OUR SOCIETY'S YOUNGEST MEMBERS. 461342 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 27 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X X X DAVID HOAMBRECKER 7083834815 6445 WEST NORTH AVE OAK PARK IL 60302 X SARA YOUNT PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CARRIE SUMMY VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 COLIN DOWDALL TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CORINA DAVIS SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH BEVLY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JERMAL CHANDLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ASHLEY COLLINS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS GALLAGHER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PRESTON JONES JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA KIKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL MCGARRY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALLISON PRICE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE VITALE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAREON WOODARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAILANI WORKMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STELLA YOON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICHOLAS ZIMMERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 185462 30253 185546 246033 33168 647294 ADMISSIONS AND RENTALS 713990 259373 259373 259373 22673 22673 104907 30253 27553 77354 77354 PRODUCT SALES 459900 22233 22233 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 1970 1970 24203 1030897 283576 0 100027 408034 254267 139369 14398 50685 31585 17312 1788 8792 4801 3991 2344 2344 16872 15607 1265 10848 10034 814 32374 29946 2428 12460 11525 935 IN-KIND EXPENSE 33168 2915 30253 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 29602 29602 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 25084 3650 21434 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 23038 21310 1728 71732 46100 18245 7387 725033 461342 205874 57817 290660 122305 399791 107615 208743 6489 12641 1004676 643826 370131 360850 1 10209 774896 1114539 2911 14292 69547 90588 216514 211109 34000 38760 322972 354749 X 431980 736722 19944 23068 451924 759790 774896 1114539 305864 2002 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 206710 203107 424093 460802 647294 1942006 206710 203107 424093 460802 647294 1942006 152978 1789028 10 25 2 22673 22710 1964716 1232607 0.91060 0.93920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 387422 217925 169497 389590 248492 141098 3949 3949 0 223715 173460 50255 360850 CONDITIONAL ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION 38760 38760 X 1030897 0 1030897 0 1030897 725033 0 725033 0 725033 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FASB ASC 740.
