"Not as fun for small children"
The first thing I noticed (besides the giant upside down building) was the price, it was over 70 dollars for the four of us to get in, ouch. The activities where nice but it was so crowded we had to wait to do almost everything. My 5 year old was not happy with all the waiting and a lot of the stuff was not something she could do or wanted to do, which left me trying to find things that would entertain her and also meant I couldn't do a lot of the things either. The boys (30 year old and 9 year old) had a blast and I thought it was pretty good. We would have liked to play a game of laser tag but my daughter couldn't play so that again left her and I out. If we went back I would probably find a babysitter for my daughter but given the price of admission I think this was a one time adventure for us. Overall we had fun, I'd recommend going on like a Tuesday morning in the middle of winter when it won't be crazy busy.

"Fun for the whole family!!"
You can't miss this place. It's the only upside down building on the parkway. It is sooo much fun. Our family spent several hours in this place. It's like an indoor amusement park. Our kids enjoyed the virtual video games and the rock climbing walls the most! The price was not too bad either.

"Fun & Educational"
We could spend a weeks worth of vacation in this place. From the time you walk in the front door, you are instantly amazed. Wonderworks is not only a blast for the kids, but it is also educational. There are tons of physics lessons that can be learned while playing.

Wonderworks is a place you can't miss when you drive by. I asked my husband, "what is that place?", so we decided to go! We all had fun! It's kind of like a science center with all kinds of things to do. What sticks out in my mind is the baby generator, where it takes you and your significant others face show what it would look like if you had a boy or girl (I was pregnant at the time). A harp without the strings that place. They have a tunnel you walk through that makes you feel like your moving in circles, but you're just going straight. They also have laser tag. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I recommend it.

"Lots of Excitement"
This is one interactive museum that was totally worth the price. Only regret is that we went mid-afternoon and didn't realize you could leave and come back. If we had known we would have went in the morning and then came back again in the afternoon. The kids had so much fun. The roller coaster simulator was a big hit. Everything was truly an interactive experience and lots of fun for the kids and adults.

"Awesome learning experience"
We took our family to Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge for the day a few months ago and we had a blast. There are so many fun things for kids to do, and everything they do, they learn! What better way to learn, than to do it while having fun! We will for sure be going back soon!

"Fun for all ages!"
Wonderworks is a fun science related activity. One of my son's favorite exhibits was the bicycle that would take you upside down if you pedaled fast enough.
He also loved the bed of nails. Not sure that preschool age would understand a lot of the exhibits, but I'm sure they would still have a good time.

"Wonderworks"
This is a really neat place to visit. There are a lot of hands on actvities for the kids (and the kid-at-heart). We only planned for a half day here but will plan a whole day next year because there were a lot of things that we wanted to do over and over again. Bring your patience as many activities did have lines but it was worth the wait!
