This was such a fun and interactive space. Admittedly, timing is a gamble game because Large groups in front or behind you can affect your experience with moving through the exhibits. Staff we friendly. I would not recommend this place for younger children. read more

***2 1/2 stars*** This should have been really cool and ultimately just fell flat. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here on an impromptu visit this past Monday in the late morning, when the weather literally and figuratively put a damper on things and we needed an indoor activity to get us to lunchtime. I think I literally saw an ad for this on Instagram, liked the cool cruise ship-esque lighting in the pictures and made an impulsive choice. So...this one's on me. WNDR is conveniently located on the same block as a parking garage in the downtown area, so it was very easy to find. Even though I'm now pretty familiar with this neighborhood, it's not my favorite - very tourist trap, grimy and a lot of homeless people (and I say that as someone who works next to Penn Station in NY). So arguably this museum already has a strike against it - it's not in the bougie section by Fenway where the real heavy hitter museums are, and has kind of taken on the personality of its surroundings. Not the best. Like a lot of touristy settings, WNDR suffers from a pretty common flaw - it's crowded and you're very much aware of other people, which is pretty much the worst situation to be in when you're trying to immerse yourself in an edgy artistic installation. I couldn't appreciate some of the optics because they let a family with screaming toddlers come in 30 seconds after us, which just screams shameless cash grab. My recommendation, especially if you're going to make this pretty kid friendly (which it is) - stagger the times. Treat it the way a well-managed mini golf course does it, and ensure no one is starting the tour within five or 10 minutes of the prior customers. It's not fail proof, but it would be a strong start in the right direction. And similarly, there was a family in front of us that clearly had to prematurely move on to a different room because they knew we were waiting. That just sucks and makes for a crappy experience. Easy fix even if it means you're losing out ultimately on some tickets. There IS some neat stuff in here; it wasn't a total loss. There are some rooms where your body essentially controls the lighting (kind of reminded me of a large, human-sized Lite-Brite for the other Geriatric Oregon Trail Millennials out there - hey) and you have some good Gram material at least. My two favorite features were the eyeball section, where this guy takes a close-up picture of your eyeball and then posts the picture on the wall with other eyeballs (it sounds insane when you type it out like that). It was a little triggering in terms of ophthalmologist-related PTSD but interesting - it was cool to compare the designs of the eyeball with my chum's. There was also a wall where you could write some thoughts, quotes, whatever you wanted on a piece of paper to hang up. The only nitpick I have there is you can do that at a ton of places, not just at a random artistic-heavy museum. For instance, I've done that at my local sushi restaurant. There's probably a way for WNDR to distinguish itself here if a little more thought/money was put into it. Speaking of, that's the obvious issue overall - they need more funding for this. A lot of these installations are honestly pretty cheap and need to be spiffed up. The Let's Survive Forever room SHOULD be really immersive and a high point, but you can clearly hear the screaming kids and other visitors outside. This should 100% be a soundproof area, and it's not. Some of the exhibits reminded me unfortunately of the Jersey Shore - the seedier sections like Seaside. Literally they have one of those fortune-teller machines to churn out a generic prediction when you push a button. How is that even arguably art? The staffers are a selling point - I think everyone we interacted with was pretty young (maybe they hire directly from a nearby college?), friendly and engaged. A few of them were stationed throughout the museum and displayed a solid knowledge base for their assigned areas. But ultimately? This isn't worth the price of admission right now. read more

I really enjoyed this interactive museum. I could see how it would be not enjoyable if it was busy because of the space but we did not have any issues. I would not say it's a must visit but it was definitely a fun time. read more

WNDR was fun and I'm glad I went. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone; you have to really want to experience it, with the understanding that it does not take that long to wander through. I was there for maybe 30 minutes, if that. I like these types of museums though so it worked for me, but may not be for everyone. None of the installations wowed me. But it's funky and cute, with friendly staff and a nice retail section. I see no reason to return, but I'm happy that I visited. read more

This place was SO cool to me. I know they just closed their doors but I'm hoping they have a final send-off party sometime soon like they're doing in Chicago! Each exhibit was amazing, dynamic, interactive, beautiful, engaging, all the good things! I wish I had visited sooner because I absolutely loved everything here and left feeling inspired and connected to everyone who visited and left their own marks. I actually spent a while here with friends, it took us maybe an hour or two to go through the whole museum. And since it was the last day, everything was 50% off so we appreciated the reasonable prices in the gift shop and refreshments area. I really hope they have a final party here soon, or they reopen at a later date if possible! read more

One of the exhibits was not properly anchored and fell on my child when he was trying to interact with it. There were no staff around- I was able to move it off of him and get him up but the exhibit was so heavy I could not move it back to where it was. I went out and informed staff who asked if my child needed a bandaid and then went to presumably fix the exhibit- we never heard from anyone again. I filled out the survey emailed to me after and after getting no confirmation they received my feedback, I also emailed it to the email found on the site- no one ever responded to me. I hope they fixed the exhibit and no one is injured worse. Besides improper safety protocols, and lack of response to a serious concern, it feels like a money grab- it's expensive for how small it is, with much of the activity being lights and spaces that are too small for the size of groups coming in. We spent under an hour there, which felt like a waste for the price. read more

This was a super fun outing with friends and a bunch of 7 year olds. Everyone had a blast and we especially liked the things that were interactive.

Visited WNDR on my anniversary date. I was very pleased with the inside of the museum upon entering. The Photo Booth was a cute option. It only costed $5 dollars for some photos . There was no wait for me to get in. However only thing I am disappointed in is that the one of the exhibits I came for wasn't available. Paid $70+ in hopes for all the exhibits to be available especially driving almost 2 hours to get here. As far as the other exhibits I thoroughly enjoyed them , especially the IRIS exhibit which gave me a newfound love for my eye color and my partners. I loved how colorful everything was and it was definitely an aesthetically pleasing experience and not a complete eye sore. However I do think some additions would be nice. I feel like even with taking my time through the museum there wasn't a lot and my partner and I got through the museum pretty quickly. I would probably visit WNDR again and maybe some of the previously closed exhibits will be open then. read more

It's closed for good. It was a money grab and that was not enough. It was never an art museum. read more

Very cool in concept. Definitely leaves something to be desired. Probably two of the exhibits were really breathtaking. Some were really just kinda "cool". For the money spent -- this would be a great activity for kids on a rainy day. It served as a decent date... I wish I hadn't given up part of the sunny summer day, though! read more

It's a unique experience for the city and we need more interactive museums like this one. I've been to much larger versions in Tokyo and Montreal but it does what it can with limited space. I think the reviews reflect people wanting more of those experiences but it's Boston and you have to curtail your expectations. You'll get 15-20 interactions that are unique and worthy of multiple social posts. read more

I really had quite a great time when I visited the WNDR Museum. The staff was so polite and informative, the exhibits were quite interactive and interesting! I really enjoyed the eye exhibit where they take a close up shot of your eye and you can see the eye color and pattern it has! They also have a nice little refreshment area which had some tasty options, I had the hot apple cider which was quite tasty. All in all this was a great experience and would recommend this to anyone looking for an awesome unique experience. read more

I admit it's a little pricey but it's pretty cool. Give yourself a solid hour to roam through and take your time. The exhibits are beautiful and there is definitely an aspect of mindfulness to the place. Staff were all very polite and helpful. read more

The WANDR is pricey for being allowed one hot hour, but once you're in, it's so interesting. My favorite was the art piece that was built as a homage to the artist's grandparents' screened house, and the thunderstorms that she remembers sitting through. That deserves high parks. There was a tour going through during the time my daughter and I were there that mucked up the flow a bit, but I can't say enough about the staff, the cleanliness or the neat photo booth in the lobby. A perfect way to end! read more

We went at night to the masquerade part. The museum was alright. It passed time and was alright. I tried my best to make the most of it. The rooms were small, there was no guidance through each room. Self paced. There was a puzzle section where we had to solve but they only had 2 so who ever solved it first, gets to solve it. If not, you just go to the next room. The answers for the paper, we didnt do anything with them. No one checked them or asked to check them. So were left with 4 guesses for the 4 riddles. Overall, kind of underwhelming. But it was an okay experience for $35 to pass the time. read more

The WNDR Museum Boston has some interesting ideas, but overall it ends up being a pretty mediocre experience -- and honestly, overpriced for what you get. There are maybe two exhibits that truly blew us away -- creative, interactive, and exactly what you'd expect from a place like this. Unfortunately, the rest were pretty "meh," and a few were just plain boring, feeling more like quick photo ops than anything truly engaging. The biggest issue is the size -- it's much smaller than expected, and you can get through it quickly. For the price, it just doesn't feel worth it. It comes off more like a tourist trap than a must-see attraction, which is disappointing given the concept. There's definitely potential here, but it feels underdeveloped and uneven. If you're deciding between this and something similar, the Museum of Illusions in Faneuil Hall is a much better experience overall -- more fun, more interactive, and a better value. With more space, stronger exhibits, and less filler, WNDR could be great. Right now, though, it's more underwhelming than worth the money. read more

My 13 year old daughter is hard to impress. I have done it to myself. I have taken her to so many palces and done so many things she is ambivalent. BUT... WNDR- she said a few times, " I really like this place!" Mom win! From the moment you walk in and there are the life size pin art drawing boards to the last exhibit, it was exciting and interesting. There was something for everyone! Plus interactive, most importantly. 3 yr old boy- loved touching everything 13 yr old girl- also loved touching everything! Also, creating some of her own AI art was up her alley 42 yr old husband- into the AI art installation and the pin art I loved seeing what was up next, seeing them take in the exhibit and ultimately enjoying it! Overall it had a lot of different things happening and was time and money well spent. read more

Kids seemed to enjoy it but we felt like it was overpriced. It costs about the same as the Boston museum of science but not nearly enough things to do. You can easily finish this place in 30-45 minutes. The staff was extremely friendly and they had some cute kids activities for Halloween. read more

Today I went for my second visit to this interactive museum where you get to touch screens and hear music or make music (by touching buttons). There are other things you can look at as well and it was so much fun! During my second visit I took a relative (who is from another state) and we had a great time taking lots of pictures or videos. Great times while we were there. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at the WNDR museum! It was a very colorful time with my family. I really enjoyed the note room where you can write little notes & hang them on the wall. I also like the telephone room where you pick up the red phones and listen to aspiring messages. I would definitely take advantage of his immersive boston experience with you family while it lasts! There were plenty of other rooms that I did not mention, but the ones pictured were a couple of my favorites. Like i said , worth a visit! :) Oh yeah, be prepared to pay $30-$40 for parking at the nearest garages because you will nottt find street parking! read more

A nice place to see some immersive art supporting some local artists. The location separates across multiple rooms. I think they can shrink the store or food area and expand the exhibits a little more. For about $40 you can finish the exhibit in under 2 hours. You would have to drag your feet and really play with the exhibits. Overall it is hard to rate this highly, once you've been to a TeamLabs exhibit but it's good for the area. read more

Pop-up art museum with various light exhibits to take cute pictures and pieces that make you think a bit deeper about how society is changing. The part that stood out the most was the iris pictures where they'll take a picture of your eye and display it on a big screen. I didn't think the price was particularly worth the whole experience since it felt like we were rushed a bit through the rooms and some of the exhibits weren't working properly when we came. read more

Great experience here enjoying the interactive exhibits! My favorite was a huge screen that reacted like a heat map to our movements and created some cool, abstract images accordingly. The interactive theater with bean bag chairs was also a really cool place to take a break and relax for a bit. I enjoyed the AI art installation but can see how people could take issue with it ethically as someone mentioned in a previous review. Staff throughout the museum was super friendly and chill. I really enjoyed speaking with the staff person in the area of the AI installation. The Kusama exhibit was the reason I came here but I actually ended up enjoying other exhibits more. You only get one minute inside the Kusama installation which is really disappointing but apparently what Kusama wants for it. My main critique of this place is really the price. It was $38 for an adult ticket which is so much more compared to local museums like the MFA and ISGM. Even though it was pricey, I did really enjoy it. My love was able to take advantage of their veterans discount but his ticket was still $26. Plus $6 in fees, so it was $70 for the two of us go. We found cheap weekend parking in the Copley area then walked here. It's right next to the Macy's in DTC. Highly recommend but mainly detracting a star due to the pricing. read more

This was SO much fun!!!!! We were worried because we were running late but it turned out OK and we were able to go through the exhibit without a problem! I took like 200 pics, but I didn't want to spoil the experience for anyone so I didn't include a lot of them. Make sure to have storage on your phone before you go. There were so many rooms and different interactive things to try, and so many photo ops! The staff was so kind and helpful and seemed to have a genuine interest in the topics and art exhibits there. My personal favorite was the INSIDEOUT exhibit which was based on the artist's childhood memories of storms growing up. We did have to wait a long time in line to get inside of the little viewing structure since we were visiting during a peak time, but it was totally worth it. Overall, there was a great balance of interactivity and things to slow down and watch unfold in front of you. Would recommend going during a time that is NOT during peak hours so you don't have to worry about long wait times or bumping into other parties. We ended up spending around 2 hrs there (probably because of the wait times), but it should usually take around 1.5 if you do all the things there. read more

I was able to go to the WNDR Museum for my birthday and I had an absolute blast. Intially I was not sure what to expect because it was a pop up exhibit. This was the perfect birthday treat. It is an amazing place for adults and kids alike. They have so many interactive displays and some great art. I think my favorite room was the pendulum room and the room with the AI art. It is always interesting to see others creativity and allow yourself to experience art in every form. There were so many hands on things to do. I enjoyed having one of the staff members write me limerick about my birthday. The amount of pictures and photo ops were insane. We had an absolute blast and would recommend to anyone looking for a good fun afternoon. The exhibit itself took about 2 hrs. They did have a bar and store available to purchase souvenirs and also food and drinks before or after the exhibit. read more

It was a great experience! Took my niece here and she loved everything as well. Will suggest everyone to try if you are in downtown!

I felt like WNDR Museum was a bit underwhelming for me and lost interest as I continued walking through. I was most excited for the mirror/ball room but it was a lot smaller than expected. There's a time limit to be in the room, which from what I can recall, was around 2 minutes max. This museum does seem like a great place to take pictures but other than that, there's not much to do or look at. read more
