I took my grandchildren here as it was a childhood favorite for me and it didn't disappoint. They had so much fun. They had so many questions. I didn't like that. I didn't really see staff but it is kind of like a self-taught walkthrough. Overall, the grandkids loved it. They are 8 and 11 so with the age difference it's always hard to please both but this place did not disappoint them. Pricing is perfect for a tourist area so I wasn't really thinking that it was overpriced. It's on I drive so the pricing was perfect. It served both age groups which was a plus for me. Highly recommended as a Saturday giveaway after a lunch with the family read more

The last day of our vacation (May 18). Arrived and was warmly greeted by the cashier. Moved about the facility and it was mostly Ok. Unfortunately - Laser Tag not operating - the primary attraction we came for. Unfortunately, only one of two "Wonder Coaster" Simulators were operating (with only two kids going for each turn). Being annoyed, I timed the pace of the line. It took 3 minutes 40 seconds for the operator to get two kids weighed, strapped in, and the simulator started. Total time from weighing one group to the next was 7 minutes, 34 seconds ... ... again, that's for only two kids. Extrapolate that - only 16 kids get on each hour. Unfortunately, we went back to do the Ropes Course a second time, but it was either closed or not staffed. read more

Me, Michelle, Reese and Joanna did the Magic show and dinner. The magician was Jimmy Rook. He's quite good and did some amazing slight of hand magic and had everyone entertained. It's a family friendly event and me, Michelle, Reese and Joanna really enjoyed the one hour show. You're seated at a community table and included is pizza, salad, beer, wine and sodas all for about $35.00. There is garage parking adjacent at The Pointe entertainment center with restaurants and a movie theater, it's cost about $8 bucks and you pay on-line, they ask for your tag on their app and scan when you exit to open the gate. The check-in process was a 'DISASTER'. When you buy tix to the show, you pay on-line and you can download the hard copy which they ask that your bring. When you enter, there is a line and entrance area but their is NO SIGNAGE that indicates where you go for the magic show versus the wonderworks event. The Staff is marginally interested in presenting a welcome attitude. It's very, very confusing and takes a VERY long time. They do offer a nice discount for Seniors read more

This place is just way too busy and not worth it. I much prefer Ripleys Believe it Or Not as I feel I also learn something. This was just some attractions. My 8 year old did love the movie simulator ride. Everything else was almost too packed to enjoy. The AC was nice though. read more

WonderWorks - They had a zipline that was too crowded to enjoy. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Another fantastic trip with a large group. This trip we opted to add the lunch (an extra fee) for the students and I'm telling you to do this. The kids & adults loves both the pizza or the hotdog options. All employees were organized, friendly & eager to help & answer questions. They even helped get our bus back in time due to a miscommunication. Everyone had a lovely time. This place is fun for both children & adults. Check out my photos for offerings for special programs & discounted rates available to all who want to go (not just large groups). read more

This place Is incredibly disorganized. We purchased our tickets online and showed up with barcode. I think we're in AI world and they have still not figured out how to use barcode system. We were informed to join regular line that enters into business to see other attractions. By the way, we purchased the tickets online for magic show and dinner ( pizza and garden salad). Staffs were not helpful, very slow and unorganized. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect from this place, other than the interesting exterior upside down building. Once you enter it, it's actually an amusement park inside with all sorts of interesting things and rides. Totally unexpected and loads of fun things to see and enjoy with the entire family. Some rides are quite Intense and may not be the best fit for people with a weak heart. Parking is not free as some people stated on Google Maps Reviews. read more

I recently came here for an outing with some friends. I love that laser tag is included with the admission ticket. The blacklight laser tag has a pretty good size play area. I found a couple hiding spots that I could snipe out my friends. The sensory play area with the bubble room is so much fun. I've come here with my kids in the past and now with adults and it seems like you can have fun no matter who you bring here. It's definitely not super high tech but there is something for everyone. Seeing the different mazes and optical illusions in the stairways are pretty cool. If you're in the area I would recommend checking them out. Go on a weekday though that way there's less kids running around if you're going with adults. read more

Wonderworks in International Drive, Orlando is an amusement park and one of the attractions you need to see if you visit Orlando. It's unique concept of the building and the lobby turned upside down is a must see! The park have a lot of attractions, interactive activities, games and rides. A fun place for everyone! Check it out! read more

WonderWorks - Wonderworks Building - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is our second time here. Our first time was celebrating our son's birthday a few years ago. This time was with our extended family and when we walked in we were greeted by Shona. She was wonderful!!! She had great energy and really started us off on a fantastic foot. My son ended up losing his phone and when we went back to the front desk to ask, the manager was very helpful and we were very lucky that it had been turned in! Thank you to him as well! I could tell between his energy and the energy of Shona that it is a good culture which always makes the feel of a place somewhere you want to come back to! We will always recommend wonderworks! read more

The building is upside down, but the fun's right side up. WonderWorks is that giant upside-down building on International Drive that looks like it crash-landed after EPCOT sneezed too hard. Every tourist drives by and asks, "What the heck is that?" Spoiler: it's part science museum, part arcade, part carnival ride, and part fever dream. History check: WonderWorks opened in Orlando in 1998, with the story that it was once a top-secret lab lifted by a tornado and dropped upside down in the middle of I-Drive. That's right -- Disney gives you immersive Imagineering, WonderWorks gives you a B-movie backstory that sounds like it was written on a cocktail napkin. And honestly? I love it. Inside, it's a mash-up of interactive exhibits: lie on a bed of nails, feel hurricane-force winds, test your reflexes, play in a giant bubble lab, and basically prove once and for all that science museums are way more fun when they're loud, chaotic, and smell faintly of funnel cake. The ropes course and laser tag add to the "yes, we'll wear your kids out" factor, which is basically the holy grail for Orlando parents. Is it high-brow? Nope. Is it fun? Absolutely. It's like Ripley's Believe It or Not had a kid with a science fair and raised it in an arcade. You'll roll your eyes at some of the cheesy theming, but then you'll catch yourself giggling on the upside-down inversion tunnel and think, "Okay, this place has me." I walked in, sighed at the spectacle, then ended up grinning while kids screamed on the ropes course, muttering: "It's ridiculous... but ridiculous is kind of the point." Bottom line: WonderWorks is touristy, goofy, and unapologetically weird. But it's also a genuinely fun way to spend a few hours learning, laughing, and maybe questioning gravity. read more

Good option if you are looking to get a break from the theme parks/ weather/ etc. Younger son had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the only parking option is in a paid lot, but fortunately rates are fairly reasonable (max charge of $10). The front of the building looks really cool. Even though we had bought tix online earlier (which I recommend to get a small discount), we had to wait in the line when we arrived, but it wasn't too bad. The ticket does grant you access all day just in case you want to take a break or grab lunch in the area and return. There's a fairly large range of activities, and the wait for each was not bad, even though the place was busy with summer campers. Other guests were good about taking turns rather than hogging machines. My son really loved the ropes course (which was quite cool and challenging); as well as the laser tag. The astronaut training was included in the ticket too, which was very nice. read more

Yearly trip to Wonder Works with the family. It's always a ton of fun. Very eventful for my son and nephews who are 5-7 years old. Each floor and room has a theme and it's very sensory driven and gives your child the ability to truly explore and let their mind wonder. Price is economical and ranges from $25-35. Food ranges from $5-$15. You can pay extra for the scavenger hunt or the comedy zone. Each floor is very spacious and there is zip lining in the 3rd floor as well as an arcade, laser tag and 3D movie theatre. On the second floor, there are two virtual reality rides along with a Photo Booth to take funny image. Highly recommend doing all excursions and getting there early. read more

I really wanted to love WonderWorks, but as an adult experience, this was a major letdown. We visited on a rainy afternoon, and the place was extremely crowded. While that's expected to some extent, it made it nearly impossible to actually enjoy or access most of the exhibits. Many stations had long lines or were constantly occupied, and there was little to no flow or crowd control. For adults (or even families with older teens), this doesn't feel like a good value for the price. A lot of the exhibits felt geared toward younger kids, and the overall experience ended up being more chaotic than engaging. The concept of the upside-down building is fun and creative, but unfortunately the execution--especially during peak times--takes away from the experience. We spent more time waiting and navigating crowds than actually participating. If you're an adult or looking for something more interactive and accessible, I'd recommend considering other indoor attractions in Orlando instead, especially on busy or rainy days. Bottom line: Not worth the cost for adults, particularly when crowded. read more

Scam artists in the arcade. Over half of the tickets my daughter won magically "didn't register" when we tried to exchange. Then when I mentioned it the employee got irritated with me. Avoid this place at all cost read more

We've been coming here four over 20 years. Never gets old! Love the hands on activities. I always wait for a sale on Groupon and spend at least 4-5 hours in here! read more

We had some time to kill before checking into our Airbnb, so our team stopped by Wonder World--and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip! There was something for everyone: younger siblings, teenagers, and even the adults had a blast. The Astronaut Challenge and VR rollercoaster were instant team favorites, and the rope and VR obstacle courses turned into a fun (and surprisingly competitive) showdown for the grown-ups. Meanwhile, the bubble room kept the little ones entertained for ages. Great variety, great energy, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Highly recommend if you're looking for an all-ages activity spot! read more

WonderWorks - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Have been going to this location since it opened with 8 grandkids now 3-18. Have always gone in am and left for lunch and nap and come back in afternoo/night. Unfriendly manager says this is no longer allowed. Cannot leave premises and come back in. There are no signs about this change and it is not on the tickets. Manager says in oh well attitude that it is noted on website. Also had issues with the same manager over height of grandson for a ride. He says height is measured by where back of head touches the line Not top of head. We are avid amusement park family with busch gardens and kings dominion season passes since my children 37 and 42 were kids and never have a place measure from below top of head. We have always loved going to Wonderworks but with so many other attractions at Myrtle Beach will be spending our money elsewhere. The aquarium at same Broadway at Beach location is great and we had no issues getting our hand stamped and returning later in the day. read more

Great for kids and younger teens. My nephew is 13. It's kind of an interactive science place. Not sure how often the exhibits are swapped out for new ones but the ones there are educational in a fun way. There was a lot of air freshener that my head didn't like though. Their snack/lunch counter has pretty good food at reasonable prices. read more

It's not really for Adults mostly for kids which is fine with me!! Wonder works is like the Franklin institute in Philadelphia pa a lot of interactive stuff for kids they have a giant lite brit which I love !! My fiancee and I came yesterday we only spent about half a hour! But it was a cool experience read more

WonderWorks - Cool tiger created from images - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We all had a blast here. Lots to learn, lots to play with, includes a rope course. We would 100% come back here again. I didn't take many pictures because we were just having too much fun! There's a wall where you can throw balls and play interactive video games and my son LOVED that wall! Overall, totally worth it and a feel good experience since you're encouraging your kids to both learn and be active! read more

Went for the holiday dinner magic show and left halfway through. What sounded like a fun break from theme parks and room service. The food is horrible with an extremely limited menu, and the service is even worse. The waiter brought our drinks over about 10 minutes after every other table had received their beverages. They ushered in frozen pizzas as we were sitting down, which were not replenished. Beyond the magic show the museum tries to be interactive but is pretty boring especially to young kids. The arcade has a pretty good selection however dirty with the A/C either off or heater on. Throw in a bunch of tourists and you're sweating as soon as you walk in. Just another tourist trap. You're better off going to a real museum or arcade. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to make WonderWorks our date night activity for Saturday night, and it was such a fun experience! I had visited when I was younger, but I didn't remember much from that time, and this was my girlfriend's first visit ever. She was beyond excited, and I can honestly say this place didn't disappoint. WonderWorks is a perfect spot for a date night with your partner, but it's also great for families with kids. The entire experience is very interactive and immersive. Depending on how fast you go through everything, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to see everything. But if you add the comedy show and arcade, you're looking at 3 to 4 hours of fun. We found out for the month of October the comedy show was Halloween theme. Next time I have family visiting from out of state, I'll definitely bring them here. It's a great mix of entertainment and just pure fun. read more

WonderWorks - Lobby - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Drove by here while visiting Orlando and had to come check it out, this place ended up being very fun! I spent most of my time playing laser tag straight merking on the little kids but when I wasn't playing laser tag I was walking around and this place had a lot to offer! There were a ton of activities and interesting little exhibits, it kind of reminded me of how the Discovery Science Center used to be decades ago. If you have children, definitely take them here, and if you are visiting Orlando and it's hot & humid af, come here for the nice AC and fun activities read more

What a fun place for a date day! My husband and I explored every corner of Wonderworks: the extreme weather zone, the physical challenge zone, the light&sound zone, the space discovery zone, the imagination zone, the magic show, and dinner. We went there around 1 pm on a Saturday and left at 11 pm ish when they were about to close! My favorite game is playing lightsaber with virtual reality glasses. We played unless 4 hrs or even longer. I am not kidding! My husband got to third place of the week! This is the only place I knew that you can UNlIMITED LY play lightsaber with virtual glasses without charge extra! I heard a rumor that they would take down the lightsaber machine. Sad :( read more

My kids (ages 8 and 13) loved it. We ate dinner and was like what is there to do? We saw here that it closes around 12-1am so we were like let's go! Went online and purchased the after hours ticket at a discounted rate. Paid about $150 for 2 adults and 2 kids. Comes with entrance, a scavenger book (win prizes at the end), and a $8 arcade card. We entered in at 9pm. Of course, plenty of cool interactive things to do. Key is to tell the kids to take their time exploring. As you know kids tends to get hyper and wants to zoom through everything in 5 mins. I believe there are 4 floors so take your time. Every floor has something cool to see, touch, and do. Lots of photo ops. The virtual roller coaster was great, kids loved it. Overall, we will be back soon. My kid is already asking to come back. read more

Super fun interesting things to do here! I went without knowing much of anything about it and it was a very welcome surprise. There is something for everyone here! Warning though, if you get dizzy ask them for a different entrance than the tunnel. This place is great for kids and adults! read more

This place was really unique and interesting! We enjoyed it! Had three different levels. The first level was really cool gave me science, education, STEM vibes, which on vacation was nice get in for the kids! The second level was more games and illusions, not as far as arcade (there was a few) but had fun games. More interactive. Third level was more arcade style. We were there for 1-2 hours, a little pricey but enjoyed the experience. There's a 4D short movie experience, not exactly what I thought it would be though. read more

WonderWorks - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We visited Orlando and wanted to do something less "big park" themed. We found Wonderworks and we were sold! Our 10 year old son had a blast. They have so many interactive games with education mixed in. I can't even try to name them all but just to name a few super cool ones. They have giant bubbles, extreme weather experiences, cool sensory exhibits including an interactive sand box, giant piano, a twisting tunnel, a huge ropes coarse, laser tag, an arcade, a magic show with a dinner, astronaut training experience, a build your own coaster experience where you get to "ride" your coaster. and my favorite was the 4D XD theater which made it feel like we were on a wild coaster ride. The building is super cool and looks upside down from outside and in various parts of the inside. They also have a Cafe where you can get different types of foods. This was super fun and affordable for anyone looking for something to do that isn't disney or universal this is the place! The staff were all really kind and helpful. They are very attentive. read more

We spent 7 hours in this place! Including the magic show and dinner. The girls had so much fun. They couldn't get enough of the laser tag and all the fun hands on exhibits. A favorite was the interactive dinosaur sand box. This place is well worth the price. I hope to come back again in our next trip to Florida. read more

WonderWorks - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is an absolutely wonderful addition to Orlando and great alternative if you have extra days around that you're not visiting parks. As an educator, I was thoroughly impressed with the balance of STEM, educational and gaming options, which kept my kid engaged for over four hours. Wait in line for the ropes course, it's the finale worth waiting for and seems to be a highlight of our entire trip to Disney/Orlando. Best value in the city. read more

WonderWorks - Make your own aquatic animal for display on the big screen aquarium! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Wonderworks is really amazing and the science-y things they have see for adults and kids to do. Lots of science that even bored text focused teenagers might actually like. You can easily spend 2 to 3 hours there. One thing I really want to give them kudos for is related to their customer service. My wife lost her prescription eyeglasses and when she called them, they combed the whole place for the glasses. Then when she came in, they had a security person go with her and search everywhere where she thought she left her glasses They went above and beyond in being very helpful and very kind. read more

I took my 4 year old son here on a Friday while visiting Orlando. We were looking for a half day activity close to our hotel. We spent about 2 hours here. While there were lots of things he could do, there were a lot of things he also could not do. When we arrived there was a huge group of middle school aged kids there for a field trip. Thankfully, they were really interested in doing the things on the third floor like the indoor ropes course and laser tag, so they bypassed most of the things we were checking out. After about 45 minutes there was another field trip of younger kids so it started to get very busy in there. It seems like this is a go to field trip location. There were very few people there not affiliated with a trip. The staff at the front desk were not super friendly and I felt like I was inconveniencing them. I ended up purchasing our tickets through visitorlando.com since they were actually cheaper on that site. In order to use the tickets I had to email them to their sprint email address and then they had to verify my ID and print out tickets for me. It seemed like a wasteful and slow process when my ticket had a barcode on it. The first floor was small and had educational type activities about weather. The second floor had a bubble room but it was really hard to make the giant bubbles. The rest of the second floor was lots of arcade type games with some educational things mixed in. It was very loud and overwhelming with so many arcade type games playing at top volume at the same time. The place also didn't seem very clean to me. I noticed a number of candy wrappers and trash in certain games, but maybe that was from the large group of kids that went through before us. Most of the third floor is for older kids (laser tag, 4D theater, ropes course) and it had a lot of arcade games you have to pay for, so we skipped most of that area. Overall, I think my son would have enjoyed this a little more if he was just a few years older. read more

I went on a Tuesday around 3pm during the summer on a rainy day. There was a line out the door but it was moving. I brought a 15, 14, and 11 year old and they had a blast! It was busy in the exhibit but we finished it in about 4 hours. Afterwards we went back to some of their favorite things and there was no line! If we do it again I'll come at 8pm for the cheaper entry. I was worried a lot of people would come late for the cheaper price but that wasn't the case on the day I went. Fun for the whole family. We left after 6 hours but honestly they could have stayed longer. I was exhausted and ready to go as an adult . read more

THIS PLACE WAS OVERWHELMING AND FULL WITH SURPRISES. I've been coming to Orlando for over 30 years and have always seen this building on pamphelts and local commercials and we never went. Our family decided to go during Thanksgiving 2023 by learning about the discounted rates on a 3rd party site. Pros: The hours of operation works for every one of all ages They are wheelchair accessible Great for all ages, Time-consuming, Educational. Cons: Very loud, wish there was a guided tour or audio for people that cannot hear with all the noise. We went on a weekday evening where there were both locals kids and out of towners (we can tell). Many families as well. There were about 3 floors of experiences about science, games, quizzes... things where you can use your brain, hands, etc. It is well worth it if you actually read every little thing and stop at every station. What we didn't know is that there is a ropes course, laser tag, 4-D animation ride, VR experiences, and moveable attractions included in the price. You get your monies worth! I do not want to give too much away, I will just say, GO. Not everyday will be a perfect day, but take your time, enjoy yourself, and try and do everything. It closes at midnight and they have a snack bar if you get the munchies! DONT RUSH THROUGH IT. Enjoy read more
