Mike Tauser is a dad who started off singing for kids in classrooms. Now, he's sharing his musical talents of singing, playing the guitar and songwriting at Wonderwild! We're excited to be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday with song and books!

Pics of Wonderwild Indoor Party Playground

You asked for it, here it is. Some pics of our space located at 707 N Shepherd Dr, #500, Houston TX 77007. We have birthday parties on the weekends and drop-in open play on the weekdays from 9am-7pm. We are usually open for holidays so come check us out and get ready to PLAY!!!


Art is an important part of everyone's lives, especially our kids at Wonderwild. We embrace art and artful living. We have professional artists showing in our reception--including Kevin Peterson, Tim Spencer, and Clarence Chun (in the hallway).

We value creativity and uncluttered play spaces. Here's a look at our toddler area and the ball pool filled with transparent "bubbles." The foam sculptures are all handmade in Europe and developed by child development experts and product designers--all to encourage creative free play.

Here's two of our staff members, Tasha and Insaff, working out on the jumping pillow! It's great exercise and keeps our employees in shape!

No play space is complete without a big 15 foot slide!

Here's the 3 story playscape for kids to climb, run and slide down on.

Inside the playscape, is the train track. The trains help kids to develop upper body strength--plus, it's a lot of fun!!


A look at our party room--a blank canvas for you to decorate with balloons, tablecloths and centerpieces if you so desire. During the weekdays, it's open for families to bring in their own food and drink and eat after a hard work out of playing.

My Art Gallery

We are so proud of our art students at Wonderwild!! From ages 2 to 8, our kids have done an amazing job following the works of famous artists but still keeping their own artwork unique and true to themselves! Above is work inspired by Piet Mondrian--we focused on bold colors and straight lines by doing some "tape painting." At the very end of our 10 week session, we will be holding a GALLERY SHOW for all the students to show off their amazing work! Sign up today for the next round of art classes starting March 22nd. Check out http://www.gowonderwild.com and go to classes and click on the Spring schedule (at the very bottom of the page).

Each student took their silhouette and then did some reverse watercolor painting--inspired by artist Mary Cassatt. Each masterpiece is worthy of being framed!

These kooky creatures had us exploring the art of sculpture and clay. We explored character and the development of a character--inspired by artist Takashi Murakami.

JANUARY JAM WITH TOM'S FUN BAND!!!!

Brrrr! It's so cold outside in January! Here's your chance to warm up with us at Wonderwild.

On Thursday, January 28, we're hosting Tom of Tom's Fun Band, from 5-7pm. General admission is only $5 a kid (free for adults, members, and kids under 9 months) if you RSVP to wonderwhy@gowonderwild.com. Or you can pay $10 for walkers, $8 for pre-walkers at the door. Price includes general admission to the play area.

Tom was our main attraction at our grand opening Halloween party. An educator, licensed counselor, and a dad of twins, his usual musical performances specializes in science education. We're so glad to have him back for our January Jam!

An artist we love

Have you noticed the new art hanging in the "tunnel" leading to the play area at Wonderwild? Some people thought it was decorative strips of wall paper artfully cut into a collage, but no. It's a painting by fine artist Clarence Chun. He's Yale educated, but also graduated from the University of Houston's School of Art. With an MFA from New York's prestigious SVA, he's extremely well-rounded. Check out his work at Wonderwild closely the next time you are in. In the meantime, here's a taste of Clarence's other works and his artist statement below.

Artist Statement

Technology has shaped my life since I played my first pong video game. Technology has not only changed the way we receive and distribute information, but also how we interpret and see information. The speed at which images bombard us, whether in magazines, on television, or surfing the information super highway, alters how we absorb them. We are forced to develop a way to filter information, whether whole or fragmented. The relationship of speed, time, and memory fascinates me. My paintings bear witness to a particular moment in time and are memories of personal events. For example, I mentally record things, which captivates me during a dinner with my girlfriend. I take notice of the pattern on her dress or the salt and pepper shaker. My paintings and drawings also feed off of video games, the history of abstraction, Chinese landscapes, manga comics, anime and other sources. The medley of sources is orchestrated to create or reconstruct a personal environment within the painting in which a new kind of sense is made. An environment in which beautiful and the absurd, the sacred and the mundane cooperate.

Super Duper Time!

It's official! Our Ultimate Super Duper Hero parties are a hit! Girls and boys get to create a SUPER SILLY FACE cape which they keep as party favors. Others added stars, hearts or glittering gems on to their capes.

The birthday boy or girl also gets a very special cape to run around and save the day with!

Up up and away!!!

Leah White performing for New Year's Eve Party in London- at Wonderwild

Wonderwild is excited to announce that Leah White will be performing during the New Year's Eve Party in London on Thursday December 31st! Don't forget to buy your tickets in advance!

Leah is the winner of the Nickelodeon's Parent's Choice Award for Best Entertainer/ Music for 2009! Her music is the perfect alternative for original and rockin' children's music. It's not just for children, but for moms and dads too! Check out her latest album released in Sept. 2009, A White Christmas. It's classic Christmas music that you've never heard before and inspired/ written based on Mom's feedback on what they feel is the essence of a modern family's holiday season.

Now, we all need a little more of what Mom thinks this holiday season, don't you think?!!
