WonderWorks

2* only because the building looks nice. The girl working the NASA spinning gyro thing said the 2 of us could not ride as there was a 500lb weight limit with no more than 100 lbs separating the 2 of us. We weighed a total of 410lbs with only an 80 lb difference between us. She kept arguing we couldn’t ride. I kept arguing we were abiding by THEIR OWN RULES THEY SET! She then said she didn’t know if the power unit used to help spin us would be able to handle us. I told her that that wasn’t our problem as we were within their rules in order to ride. FINALLY she backed down and let us ride.
Quite a few exhibits were not in operation and look dated. Upon exiting the place, the turnstile wasn’t working (was that part of the interactive experience?), so had to jump over it to leave. Snack bar wasn’t open but didn’t look like much.
I was warned that it wasn’t worth the price of admission at $ 27 per person yet had to experience it myself. I regret now having done it. It might be worth half that.
Look at this building from the outside only. It is free! If you decide to go in, well, you have been warned.

Not a bad place to visit. They do need to hire some people that speak better English so when you order some food they understand what your saying so you get what you ordered

This place is freaking AWESOME.
The weather permitted me to cancel plans for my twins party at Wet n wild…
I called Katie on a Thursday and scheduled a bday party last minute for that Saturday. She was super professional. She fully explained all of the party details to me via email.
I ended up going with the $ 300 package. It included unlimited wristbands for 14 people. 3 large pizzas, decorations, a parking pass, 140 tokens, unlimited fruit punch, and a party room for 45 minutes.
Everything was super organized and I felt like it was money well spent.
My twins were made to feel super special on their special day.
This place has everything. Three levels of fun.
We were here for 6 hours and I didn’t hear one kid say that they were bored or ready to go.
We all had a blast and will definitely return.

had an interesting and fun time here with my friends. the interactive exhibits were fun to look at and touch. the entires was clean, well organized and well maintained. Staff and crew were super friendly, helpful and attentive. They were not Crude at all. :)

Had some time between events so went to check it out. Somewhat interesting for an adult, but the target market for this place is for kids 7 to 15 years old… The kids seemed to be having a ball…

Wonder Works looks incredibly impressive and slightly concerning from the outside, or even driving by, as the building is a house that looks as though it’s torn up from the ground by some Herculean giant, flipped upside down and placed back on the Earth. Once you get over that initial shock and make it inside, you may find yourself in quite a long line for tickets. as I went here for a work related outing on my most recent visit, I did have some difficulty with my company card (which may also be related to how many people I was purchasing tickets for). In spite of the inconvenience, I do appreciate the security provided by the ticket staff. Again, as this was a work event, I was here solely for laser tag, which is located on the 3^rd floor. The wait for laser tag was also pretty long, and we had to pause for several birthday parties before being allowed in (granted, it was a Saturday). Once inside, the laser tag area was very fun, although somewhat limited in hiding options. Then again, laser tag is not what they’re known for here, so the fact that they have a system like the do is, in fact, impressive. There is also a ropes course you can participate in if you are feeling adventurous. All this is aside from the regular admission, which gives you access to some fun scientific oriented displays. 4 stars to a surprising and interesting spot in the International Drive area!

We ended up here looking for an indoor activity on a rainy day in Orlando for Spring Break, also looking for a partial day activity as we flew home that evening.
This is an interesting mash up of a Childrens museum, a hands-​on science museum and a Chucky Cheese or Grand Slam. It starts out with somewhat dated and cheesy but educational activities such as the earthquake and hurricane wind, and then later you are on a different level shooting basketballs and playing games in an arcade setup.
And atop all of this is the ropes course, a circus like setup across the top of the room where you harness up, and then walk on tightropes and other contraptions from pole to pole around the room, with no net, just a secure harness that is anchored to a track in the ceiling, and you are doing this all right above hundreds of other patrons who are playing air hockey and video games and stuff like that. They are for the most part oblivious that you are suspended 10 feet overhead and that if you were to slip off the tightrope you’d be doing an impersonation of Tom Cruise from mission impossible, suspended horizontally face-​up until I assume some staff person comes and hoooks you back to the poles or you can pull yourself with the tightrope or other contraption you’re walking on. Oh and there is laser tag.
All in all it was a good way to spend a few hours. We stayed away from the food and just did the activities. And if you think you want to do the ropes go there first, for us the line was almost 1 hour long just because turnover on and off the course was so slow. The ropes are in the basement which, because the building is upside down, is also known as the 3^rd floor…

Interesting. We spend the day here with our kids. We did have of the day and then exited for lunch and came back in the afternoon to enjoy some more stuff. They had some really cool exhibits that the kids attention and also adults. Overall this was a very good value for the money we spent. Some of the stuff is cheesy and some of it is very captivating and enlightening.

It’s good for kids. A little outdated and nothing for adults. I thought it was too expensive. The employee’s were very nice and helpful. The kids seemed to be having fun. I didn’t care for it at all. The outside of the building was cool.

I’ll be honest extremely out dated, and so much money for little that didn’t work. A lot of the games and or vending machines didn’t work.

I came here with my boss and coworker on our day off on our work trip. It’s undoubtedly a neat experience for kids. There’s a tesla coil, a bed of nails, a bubble lab, a giant piano, a gallery of illusions, a ropes course and much more. The 4D theater was disappointing though. We were informed after we were seated that the 4D wasn’t working AND my motion seat didn’t work. Boooo.

The staff was very polite and helpful. There were some waits, but it was acceptable since they told us when we entered and before we purchased the tickets.
Awesome exhibits and experiences! Fun for all ages and is inside. It’s a great midday activity when it’s hot out, which is a lot of the time in Florida.
4D show was awesome. Laser tag was average. Sky hiking was cool and had multiple levels. Drawback was a lot of people so there were waits, but a worth it activity.

I wasn’t planning to come here during our last visit to Orlando but my son insisted and I just couldn’t resist. Brought back a lot of memories as I visited many times in my younger years.
I feel like admission is overpriced, $ 54 after coupons for two adults is a bit much! No way I’m bringing the whole family here when all the kids have to pay.
The place is fun and has unique things but again, a bit pricey for my taste given the fact that there really isn’t much to do. 4D 5 min movie, laser tag (not included with regular admission), giant bubble area, bed of nails, «space/​astronaut» area, simulator ride, indoor high ropes course, arcades (not included with regular admission, uses tokens), an earthquake simulator, hurricane simulator, and more activities for kids.
I love places that I can go with my son and have a good time doing things he finds interesting and fun, and he definitely enjoys Wonder Works.

Go for the kids. Not for the food. I took 15 high school students there on January 16. They had fun with the exhibits, laser tag, etc. but the food in the «café» was AWFUL. We had meal vouchers which included either a hot dog or a slice of pizza. The pizza literally looked like there was no cheese on it. The same slices were sitting on the plate in the warmer for the entire time we were there. The hot dogs looked like they had been spinning since 1983. Throw in a totally clueless employee behind the counter (African-​American young girl), and you have a really pathetic operation. My co-​chaperone and I threw out our vouchers and went out for some decent food when we returned to our hotel.
Consider yourself warned!

We had our son’s 14^th birthday party here and we were extremely pleased! Daniel was our party coordinator and he was so organized and helpful. We had a check-​in table right in the lobby for us and our guests so there was no confusion. The kids got to play for a couple of hours before we had our pizza in the party room. The hostess, Tia, was very helpful and friendly as was the staff in «the basement». We were all very impressed with the excellent customer service and the great value of the party!

We all know the building, driving around Orlando getting lost looking for your hotel, on International Drive you’ve pass an upside down monstrosity countless times. It never once gave me enough curiosity to know what was inside until I ended up with a free day on a weekend trip. We wanted to kill some time before driving back to Miami, so after breakfast, we ventured into the WonderWorks laboratory. We were lucky to score a Groupon, so the ticket was very reasonable and it came with a laser tag.
WonderWorks is four-​or-​so levels of fun. You start off going thru a very trippy Inversion Tunnel (I recommend going quickly for any one with motion sickness.) There’s a hurricane shack, you can experience a earth quake, play with the tesla coil. One of the staircases is filled with visual mind games. There is also a bed of nails, a mind ball game for two (very competitive), flight simulators. I even tried out the astronaut training gyro, this contraption will make you dizzy and never want to return to space. We ended our day with the glow-​in-​the-​dark ropes course, which was scary and fun at the same time; and skipped on the laser tag.
It’s definitely a fun workout for your brain. My friends and I all felt like kids going through and trying out everything. Just allow a few (¾) hours here, and eat before and after. It’d definitely be a great place for a kids birthday party!
Oh, and take pictures with the photographer and his green screen, I am usually against buying photographer photos from touristy places, BUT these came out so fun, we had to purchase them.

Wonderful and entertaining for all ages. My nephews had tons of fun learning and my parents had fun with the Google Maps simulator, lightening simulator and the frozen shadow. My dad even went on a ride with my nephew and even did the rope climbing! It was a great experience and everyone loved it! I would definitely recommend everyone to come here if they’re in the area.

The price is pretty high and they don’t validate parking. Its one of those places you will go once in ur life.

Awesome place! We took the laser combo pack — 4d theatre, laser tag, rope course. 4D theatre could have even more fun with water effects! Rope climbing & laser tag is awesome!
Large queue to enter into Wonderworks!!! It would be great if there are some shades for the ppl to wait outside.

Das Personal ist nicht gerade auf Zack. Alles dauert ziemlich lange. Den Preis finde ich etwas hoch zumal viele Spiele extra kosten. Das Essen ist genießbar — mehr aber auch nicht.

The weather forecasters said there was an 80% chance of rain in Orlando. My wife, who like the Wicked Witch of the West, is scared of rain decided that we could not spend the day at Walt Disney World and face the chance of getting wet. As a result, I was forced to make alternate plans. I googled «What to do on a rainy in Orlando?» Google told me to go to WonderWorks. Wonderworks is located in an upside down builidng. Rumor has it that Dr. Wonder created a tornado. Something went wrong with the tornado that Dr. Wonder created and carried the laboratory here to Orlando.
WonnderWorks is basically a science museum for children. They have all kinds of fun exhibits for the kids. After paying for our admission, everyone is forced to enter through the inversion tunnel. A tunnel with rotating walls that can get some people sick.
The first stop for my daugther was the Earthquake machine. I don’t know what my daughter was thinking. Someone forgot to tell her that we are from Southern California. We experienced a 5.1 earthquake without a machine. The earthquake machine may be cool for kids and for people that are not from California.
Their photographers then stopped us so that he could take our photos and sell it to us as well left. We obliged and posed like he told us to. As we left, our photo were not ready yet. But, that was okay. We were able to watch the guy «photoshop» our pictures. «Photoshop» or whatever program they used was very cool! What would be better is if they turn this into an exhibit for kids and teach the children the art of «photoshop», instead of having a technician «fix» the photo to sell it to us.
My daughter really wanted to go on the rope course. But, WonderWorks has a rule that you cannot wear a dress or skirt. My daughter did wear a skirt. It was a good rule to have.
I loved their «artwork» walking up and down the stairs. They art was the kind I like, with optical illusions.
They have lots of fun exhibits, all of which involve some kind of science. They had exhibits involving physical science and natural disasters, physical challenges, space, and others. Most of the exhibits were fun and educational.
I wish that they carried on the theme of Dr. Wonder. But, they had enough interesting exhibits where they didn’t have to. WonderWorks is a great place to go to when it rains. It helps if you can find a coupon. It was a nice place, and prevented my wife from melting in the rain.

Hier kann man allerlei Kuriositäten betrachten und auch selber agieren… Schön gemacht und es gibt viel zu sehen ! Beim Simulator ist mir allerdings schlecht gewordn :)) Dauer ca 2 Stunden. Coupons sammeln um den Eintrittspreis von 19 $ etwas zu drücken !

Mitten auf dem Internation Drive in Orlando ist das Wonderworks kaum zu übersehen, da es durch seine auffällige Bauweise besticht.
Was von außen noch recht stilvoll wirkt, entwickelt sich im Inneren zu einer Mischung aus ArcadePalast, Kunstausstellung und allerlei Kuriositäten. Immer wieder wird die optische Wahrnehmung des Besuchers auf die Probe gestellt.
Ein Spiel/​Gerät reiht sich ans nächste, die Gestaltung ist dabei recht lieblos. Für Familien mit Kindern und Jugendliche ist es bestimmt ganz interessant, aber mir war es zu viel unterschieldiches.
Den Rest hat mir ein Simulator gegeben, bei dem man sich eine Achterbahnstrecke selbst zusammen bauen konnte. Diese Strecke ist man dann im Simulator abgefahren, wobei auch Loopings und Schrauben wie im wahren leben KOPFÜBER gefahren wurden!!! Da wir keine Erklärung bekommen hatten, war unsere Strecke schrecklich. Mir war schon lange nicht mehr so schlecht.
Ein Pluspunkt bekommen die LaserGames, die für einen geringen Aufpreis zubuchbar waren. Das war witzig und hat unglaublichen Spass gemacht.
Der Eintritt mit knapp 20 USD (+3 für das Lasergame) war nicht gerade wenig, betrachtet man jedoch die Masse an Geräten im Inneren war es angemessen.

Fuimos a la cena con espectáculo de magia. El espectáculo fue muy divertido, incluso si no sabes mucho inglés eres capaz de serguirles.
La cena consiste en pizza y bebida sin límite, no está nada mal.
Muy recomendable aunque no para niños.
