Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking!
Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking!, an interactive exhibit based on the popular film and television characters, will open at the EcoTarium on September 20th, 2025. This brand new exhibit, created by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Aardman, runs through early January!
In this hands-on exhibit, visitors step into the north England home of cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his loyal and intelligent dog, Gromit. Designed for children ages 3 through 9, Wallace & Gromit™: Get Cracking! builds on problem-solving themes found throughout the films in fun, engaging ways.
In Wallace’s world, inventions and contraptions often go terribly – but hilariously! – wrong, providing a natural opportunity to explore themes around problem-solving and resilience in a safe and lighthearted manner. Through a mix of unique and meaningful experiences, the exhibit focuses on STEM-based problem-solving, with the aim of making the problem-solving process explicit.
