Yelp 100 Challenge -#35 Wonder Works is a 4 level arcade offering different attractions and things to do on each level. Wonder Works is great for a first date or even a fun family outing. 1st Floor includes the lobby, gift shop, Wonder Cafe, Hurricane Shack, Xtreme 360 Bikes, Physical Challenge Zone, and party room. 2nd Floor includes Laser Tag. If you have a little child, you may be able to take turns and go in different heats. 3rd Floor includes the wall of illusions, XD Theater, draw alive, Wonder Coaster, Bed of Nails, Bubble Lab, and STEM Room. 4th Floor includes space discovery, ropes course, arcade games that you purchase to play, art of Dr Seuss, Imagination Lab, and Interactive Sandbox. My favorite was the digital Wonder Coaster. It is an indoor ride that follows along a video of a roller coaster flipping you and spinning you like the real thing. I recommend wear closed toe shoes and comfortable clothing so you are able to ride majority of the attractions inside. You can also add on the Wonder Works casebook and slice different riddles as you explore the four levels. read more

I visited WonderWorks Myrtle Beach and overall, it was just okay--definitely more of a one-and-done experience. It's a fun spot for kids, but as an adult, I wouldn't feel the need to go back. It can get pretty crowded, so I'd recommend going early on a weekday instead of the weekend if you can. A few of the exhibits weren't working during my visit, which was a little disappointing. While it's entertaining, I do think the price is a bit high--around $35 per person would feel more reasonable than $40. Overall, it's a decent way to spend some time, especially for families, but not something I'd go out of my way to do again. read more

We absolutely love this place!There's always so much to do, and we always end up spending at least a couple of hours here just participating in all the activities. Great place for families! The staff is always helpful and the place is always clean. read more

Is it expensive? Sure. Do you at least get your money's worth? I'd say yes. Especially with younger kids. We arrived around 10am and didn't leave until after 2pm. The big hits with our kids were (not official names): roller coaster simulator, "6d" motion simulator (not really 6d but whatever), laser tag!, rope course, and the various 1st floor activities. Not something we'd do multiple times a year or anything but it's a fun first time experience. read more

This peculiar, columned building looks like some force of nature plucked it up, turned it upside-down, and then dropped it back where it was found. The inverted structure, called WonderWorks, is actually a children's museum. It's located inside the sprawling mega attraction Broadway at the Beach. it takes the concept of a science museum to a new level, engaging kids of all ages in learning while having tons of fun. The interactive exhibits are organized by theme into WonderZones, which focuses on topics like natural disasters, physical challenges, lights and sound, space exploration, and art. A fun experience from the moment you spot the iconic "upside down" building on the boardwalk, with palm trees growing from the sidewalk above you... read more

WonderWorks is basically what happens when a science museum and a theme park have a baby--and then flip the building upside down just to keep things interesting. We stopped in to kill some time while waiting on our airbrushed t-shirts to be finished and ended up staying longer than expected. It was the perfect mix of entertainment and education for our crew: Lolo (9), Suri (4), and Sadie (almost 2). Bonus points: kids 3 and under are free, and the whole place is blessedly air-conditioned. The upside-down exterior immediately got the kids hyped, and inside was a full-blown sensory overload--in the best way. From virtual sports and glow-in-the-dark ropes courses to bubble labs and hurricane simulators, it felt like every corner had something new to poke, spin, or climb on. It was loud. It was chaotic. It was kind of perfect. The only downside? It's a tourist trap and it's not cheap--especially with a bigger family--but compared to other attractions in the area, it feels more "worth it" for the amount of stuff you can do under one roof. And with three kids under 10, anything that burns energy without involving direct sun exposure is basically vacation gold. TL;DR: A little loud, a little wild, a lot of fun. Come for the AC, stay for the chaos. Pro parenting tip: this place is the ultimate meltdown prevention zone between overpriced meals and too-long t-shirt waits. read more

My girls had a blast here. Free parking and so much to do inside. My babygirl is short so a few of the rides she couldn't do. They enjoyed the bubble station, laser tag and playing the matching game. Everything was clean and the staff were all friendly. Although it was a ton of people inside the line moved fast and I felt safe the entire time. read more

Was okay/mediocre at best. Should be labeled as a children's museum instead of an "amusement park". Very expensive when there are cheaper, more fun things to do. Only thing this place has is visual "appeal" because when people come down on vacation their kids want to go to the "upside down house". Not worth it in my opinion. read more

Hubby and I had a great time here. The lines for the rides were not super long but reasonable. The air felt muggy in there from the amount of people there, they need AC or to add some windows. read more

I really wasn't sure what to expect. I kind of assumed it was like a science museum which is exactly what I felt There are multiple floors that have all sorts of activities on them and I will say they are pretty hands on. We love The Titanic exhibit as well as the sports. The only thing about the sports is it takes a while because it's only one person at a time. We did the hurricane winds which didn't feel as bad as I thought. We didn't really do any of the rides because my kids aren't into those. They really loved The bubble lab and being able to go inside the bubbles. I loved all the interactive pieces and they really loved laser tag, especially the guy who worked there who was beyond friendly and very nice to both of my kids and my mom who didn't play. I would definitely be back read more

Extremely over crowded and lines for EVERYTHING!!! Expect to spend 4 plus hours (if you want to do every attraction) Honestly felt like we wasted $120 and our day. read more

This place is not expensive at all, in my opinion. It's a great value for your money, especially for kids activities. My siblings absolutely loved it. There are so many activities to choose from that you can easily spend over three hours there without getting bored. You'll lose track of time before you know it. You'll want to try all the activities, and they're all incredibly fun and interesting. This is an amazing place to entertain your kids and keep them off the TV. I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

We were looking for something to do when we were in North Myrtle this seemed like a fun time. We signed up to do the Soar and Explore combo which was a decent deal 34.99 to do the ropes course and zip line. We spent a decent amount of time of the ropes course, the kids enjoyed this. Then the zip line was fun but really short, so be prepared to be a bit underwhelmed on the zip line. Overall it's a fun experience. read more

This was an unexpected surprise while visiting Broadway at the Beach. You can't miss it with its upside down building. Inside it's 4 floors full of interactive science experiments, tests of knowledge, indoor rope course, laser tag, short educational movies....and many other things to keep your interest whether you are an adult or kid. They also have an outdoor zip line that crosses the lake but was closed during my weekday visit. read more

WonderWorks - Entrance - Amusement Parks Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

SO SO FUN and worth the money! $30 a person to enter the exhibits which include laser tag, an indoor ropes course, and a bunch of rides and interactive games! If you pay a bit more, you can also do the outdoor ropes course and zip lining! A great place for both adults and kids, my partner and I definitely learned a lot! My favorite thing I did was either the indoor ropes course OR the astronaut training challenge! Never in my life did I think I would be able to do that, but I did here at Wonderworks! There are so many other things to do, I definitely recommend setting out 3-4 hours for this place. Note: wear closed toes shoes so you can access all the rides! read more

This may have been a highlight of our trip! We came here on a rainy day and it was well worth every penny. The interactive exhibits had something for everyone, parents and children. We spent 4 hours here and it didn't even feel like so much time had passed, we will definitely be back to do the outdoor zip line on our next trip, if the weather permits read more

Wonderworks was so much fun!!!! I agree with their website's recommendation to do a few hours, break for lunch or an other activity and come back for a few more hours. We were there for close to 7h all together and could've kept going longer. I especially want to mention Haze and Jasmin, who took the time to help me find my phone even though it was a few minutes after closing. I was a mess and Haze was so kind, reassuring, and patient. Top notch customer service!! read more

I brought my family and friends here. 3 floors with so much stuff to do! A dual seat bicycle ride that does a full 360 loop, if you pedal fast enough! Very cool stuff for kids of all ages. read more

WonderWorks is really cool. We took the family to visit and they had tons of interesting things to play with. I work my glow-in-the-dark Nikola Tesla t-shirt that my daughter bought for me. In some sections of WonderWorks, there are black lights and my t-shirt illuminated nicely. There was a picture of Nikola Tesla, so I had my daughter take a picture of me with that picture. We visited the 6-D movie theater, which was pretty sweet. We threw baseballs at a screen to digitally strike out batters, while radar measured how fast we threw. We tried to decipher codes, we played with sand, read stuff, and generally had a good time. We probably spend 1.5 hours here and it was well worth it on a busy day in Myrtle Beach. read more

There were several tunnels and illusions that definitely make you dizzy and wobbly, even though nothing was moving around you. The kids really liked it. Some of the puzzles are really fun and also you can take them with you when you buy a small version at the store. read more

So much fun I will go again hope fully some time soon they have so many things to do such as obstacle courses and many free experiences read more

There food sucks you do not get your moneys worth at all as you can see from the pictures

Cool experience. There were a lot of things not working or out of order. There were not enough employees to keep the disrespectful people from being disrespectful to others and the property. The associate at the movie theatre was not friendly at all. There were a lot of cool things that were neat and informative. Overall it was fun, but too expensive for what it is. Definitely in a touristy area. We went during dinner time and it wasn't too busy. read more

We went here in a Thursday's afternoon. This place is located at Broadway at the beach. There is plenty of parking. The tickets were $32 person. We spent about two hours exploring. When you walk in they take your picture and have a few options to pick from later. As you walk around they have many interactive items you can play with as you walk along the museum. There were about 3 floors to go through. They had a bunch of interactive stuff to do. And when we went it was so quite there was only a few people in there. We were able to see everything and take our time to read, and explore the items at the exhibit. They had exhibits from titanic facts, to throwing football, baseball, playing electronic twister. They had rides you can explore. They had a bike ride that turned you upside down if you pedaled fast enough which was cool. They had a 6D ride that was cool they put you in the ride and lock you in and it's a digital roller coaster ride. This was a lot of fun and even my 6'3 boyfriend was able to ride it with me. These rides do have a height and weight restriction on them. They also have a 3D ride when they show you a 5 min little movie and the seats move and wind blows. Since it was slow in there we were able to see all 5-6 of the movies. You put in the 3D glasses and buckle up and hold on the the side of your seat. It was nice. Some of the movies were riding through the wall of China on a bike. They had some for kids where a little boy was riding his jet pack to school and you got a flying affect it was cool. As you walk through the exhibit they have hand sanitizer all around and you will need it bc everything in here you touch. The staff was doing a great job of wiping everything down. But I can just imagine how it would be on a busy day with a bunch of people running thorough that place. I would say get here early so you can experience everyone without it being so crazy. Since it was slow we were able to try everything and take our time to enjoy it. This place even had a small arcade, laser tag and a rope course at the end for people to play. They even had some little stuff for kids like maybe 4yrs and under to play with. One thing I thought was cool was they had a digital air hockey game. I hadn't seen that and thought it was cool plus you don't have to worry about having a flying puck going every wear. This place is cool for adults and children to explore they have a little bit of everything for someone. If you like to try new things and have fun doing it this is a place to check out. read more

Don't forget closed toed shoes! Must have them for the rides and rope course. Missed out on laser tag because no one told us when the last chance was to play. Disappointed in that part of the service. But overall had a great time with everything else. Even had a great coupon making one of our admissions free. read more

We hosted our son's 3rd birthday party at this location, and we had a wonderful experience.

Wonder works is a fantastic place to take the family on one of those miserable rainy days in Myrtle Beach. Conveniently located at Broadway by the beach, Wonderworks provides an interactive learning experience for Children and adults. If you are in the area you will recognize Wonderworks as the upside down house. There are interactive sports, science and math activities in addition to a ropes course, laser tag, simulators etc We bought the tickets online months ago at a significant discount but I have paid full boat and felt like it was worth it. read more

This place was sooooo much fun! I definitely thought we got so much value for what we paid, which is not common. All of the exhibits are interactive and capture the attention of kids and adults alike. Even though it was pretty crowded, there wasn't much of a wait for the exhibits except for the cycle ride and the astronaut ride. We did have to wait for about 20-30 minutes initially to get into the building. We easily could have spent another couple of hours there as I am sure there were some exhibits that we missed. I will definitely plan to visit again when I am in the area. In addition to certain rides having height restrictions, closed-toe shoes are also required for some rides. read more

We came here on Christmas Day with the family to get some fun out. This location is way better than the Orlando one. Was able to get on this gravity ride , do laser tag and the 6D ride. It was pretty cool and fun. Would definitely come here again plus you need to give yourself a few hours to do and explore everything read more

I entered around 3/315 and I did not exit the building until almost 8:00. There are a lot of things to do, see, experience, play with and ride.it's like a kid in the store that wants to touch everything. You feel like you need to check every thing out. A 360 swing, laser tag, A ropes course, and much much much more in the building. Everything in there is for any body all ages and sizes. It's perfect for the family, will most likely take up majority of the day but it's worth it. read more

This place is very very very cool and fun for all ages. We had ages from baby to grandparents and all said it was a great time! I will say my one complaint is they stuff this place wall to wall. It's hard to enjoy some of the more popular exhibits like the simulator rides, ropes course,bubbles and titanic section when it's this busy. But I can't complain to much because it really is a fun place. The bubble area is amazing! You can make super large bubbles that you can even fit inside. The bed of nails is also a classic when you come here! So many activities! So much fun! A great place to visit when you need a break from the Waves. read more

Had so much fun here, stayed over three hours and could have stayed longer. I'm an adult sans kids and found lots to entertain myself. Note that my excellent experience was in part due to the fact that it was fairly empty, no lines at all (Sunday afternoon in high season on a beautiful, sunny (but hoomid) day. Based on the signs in the space, I think they get incredibly crowded, especially on rainy days, so keep that in mind. I would have had a lot less fun if I had to wait to access every activity (There were signs showing that the wait from x would be one hour for laser tag as an example). The entrance fee includes several rides that would cost $5 to $10 or more at an amusement park, so it's quite good value if you ride the rides. This place purports to be a mix of educational entertainment, but it is 99% entertainment, 1% education, so don't come in epecting a science museum sort of experience. My favorite experiences were the 3D movie theater, and the very low-tech bubble making station. All in all, a great way to spend some time out of the sun and humidity. read more

I mean, it's a super cool building. And you think that there's gonna be stuff in there? And there is, but it's so confusing and discombobulating and then stuff doesn't work. It was disappointing. You paid 40 buck to get in then once you're in you gotta pay for all the games. You can skip it .it's a joke. read more

A little under $100 for three of us. I think for this price point it's worth it. We have a 14 year old - he had a lot of fun riding the rides and doing the science activities. We spent around 2.5 - 3 hours here to do all of the attractions and games. There's 4 floors of stuff to do. Definitely recommend for Myrtle Beach area, for sure on a rainy day too! Make sure to wear closed toe shoes if you'd like to participate in the attractions and you must be under 236 lbs( they check!) read more

This place is located in the Broadway at the Beach complex with tons of other attractions. With that comes a lot (no pun intended) of parking. This museum was very enjoyable. It has something for kids of all ages. My 3 year old loved it. As its description states, it is very interactive. It has 3 levels packed with interactive exhibits. The first level has a few adventure rides and a hurricane simulator. The second level has a bubble station, a walk-on piano, a dance room and a bed of nails the you can lay on. The third level has a ropes course (extra fee), a space exhibit, a toddler area and video games. We spent about 2 hours in there. You are able to reenter the museum on the same ticket the entire day with a stamp on your hand. My favorite exhibits were the mock hurricane, the bed of nails, the dance cam and the toddler area. They have military discount and I am sure you can occasionally find a Groupon deal. I recommend finding a deal before you go. read more
