We actually won the tickets to Wonderworks on a local radio show, which was awesome, but if you were paying full ticket price, then it could get kinda pricey because it's not an all included price ($25 adults, $18 for kids 4-12) You have to pay extra for the Imax, pay extra for Laser Tag, Pay extra for the dinner theater show. The arcade games are not free either. So, yeah the virtual coaster is cool as is the nature exhibits, but they nickel and dime you to death! Bummer.....
Wonderworks is definitely a go-see place if you're planning a trip to Orlando. For one, the building is upside down, so you know whats inside has to be interesting! There are so many fun activities to do that are so geared toward children that this is an ultimate wear-out zone. This is a great place to take kids to let them use their imagination and just let go and have fun. (I mean, you can "land" a space shuttle - what kid wouldn't want to do that?!) It really is an "amusement park for your mind!"
As soon as you see the building you will realize this is a neat place! Everything is hands on and interactive! It is loads of fun for kids and adults.
It was hard to keep an eye on the two year old if I wanted to participate in an activity because I couldn't keep both eyes on him. Next time I may just go me and my husband so we can have fun :)
You'll want to make this part of your trip to Orlando for sure. The first thing you'll notice is the building is upside down which only makes you want to go inside and check it out even more. Inside you'll find a bed of nails that you can actually lay on and other fun cool things to play with. An exciting place for kids and adults. Expect to spend a good 2 hours inside and at the end they offer a snack bar and gift shop. A must see! You can get discount tickets online at wonderworks.com
The fun begins outside this tossed-upside-down building that creaks as if to topple when you walk by. With its disaster orientation, it may have stolen some of Orlando Science Center’s thunder—but at a much higher price and less of a learning focus. Interactive games let you experience an earthquake, hang gliding, and aging. Dance on a keyboard and morph your voice to alien qualities. This place is lots of fun.
