Thank you for your generosity...

Professor Phineas T. Pennypickle, Ph.D
Ahhh, the Professor. He is an enigma. Mysterious, elusive, slightly absent-minded, this genius has traveled the world... and traveled through time... to conspire, invent and explore with brilliant minds from history, like Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Lindberg, and other familiar intellects.

Beaker
Phineas' tiny field-mouse-friend Beaker cuddles in the Professor's lab coat pocket to observe the puttering and tinkering, and when the Professor is not around, Beaker keeps an eye on the workshop.

Pennypickle's Workshop - the Temecula Children's Museum
The Professor's home...7500 square feet of it, cluttered with hands-on inventions, gadgets, experiments...and kids won't even know they're learning as they play! Located in the heart of Old Town Temecula, Southern California (a great place to visit, by the way), Pennypickle's Workshop (formerly called the Imagination Workshop) has already won a THEA award from the Themed Entertainment Association, representing creators of compelling places and experiences, two awards from the California Park and Recreation Society, and Nickelodeon Networks' Parents' Pick Award for Best Museum and Best Birthday Party Place.
