Wonderworks (Orlando, Florida)

Newest Review: ... in which you can sit and experience an "earthquake" that measures 5.3 on the Richter scale. I realise I probably wouldn't enjoy a real earthquake but after riding several wild rides at various theme parks this actually felt quite tame! Another simulation is the Hurricane Hole, where you can hold onto a pole and experience 65 mile an hour winds. There is some information given on hurricanes but to be honest, our children just liked being blown about! Also in this area is a Famous Disasters quiz where you play a game similar to noughts and crosses against a computer. If you get a question right you get a square, if you get it wrong... more

On our first ever visit to Orlando we were advised not to overdo things by visiting a theme park everyday. Naturally, assuming people who had already been there knew better than we did, we planned our holiday to have several "rest days" on which we didn't visit any theme parks. The only problem was we began to be quite bored on these days; we're not really swimming pool people and needed somewhere to go to fill the time. This was how we came to visit Wonderworks in Orlando.

Wonderworks looks good from the outside, it's an upside down building that apparently got that way from a tornado ripping it out of the gound of its top secret location in the Bermuda Triangle and hurled it into the air all the way to sunny Orlando, and hence it landed the wrong way up. I think this place is quite expensive as it costs nearly $20 per adult and nearly $15 for a child/elderly person. You might think, it's okay were on holiday, but I don't agree because if you were to pay £10 (which is what it works out to be around in our money) for something over here you would most certainly complain. Maybe it's because we're adults and kids would enjoy it ... Read the complete review

What is Wonderworks? Wonderworks is an attraction which includes 100 interactive exhibits for the entire family to experience plus the building is also host to Laser Tag and Outta Control Magic comedy dinner Show. We did not go in Laser Tag or the magic show so this review is only on the wonderworks its self. Where is it? You will find Wonderworks situated on International Drive Orlando, Florida .
