Wonder works is fun, and educational. It is amazing to look at everything, and play some of the games they have in there, and the brain teasers. They have a hurricane wind simulator that was very cool. They have a part about the titanic that lets you experience how cold the water was when the ship went down. You stick... More

I had my son's 13th Birthday party there and we had 8 boys with us... it was awesome. Everyone had a great time and we were thoroughly exhausted when we left. I would recommend it to all my friends, worth the price and they offer military and AAA discounts if you go through the right channels. We will be going... More

If you are looking for an alternative to a day at the beach, WonderWorks is worth a visit. Very kid friendly.

Truly a one of a kind place. Its a great place to visit when it's rainy or you are just too sunburned to go out another day. It's only good enough for 1 visit but not the place to make a priority.

I am a very technical individual. However, there is les science and wonder in WonderWorks than their should be. There are way too many exhibits for small children to simply play. Some of the exhibits are for older individuals to interact with at time, but there are also a significant amount of exhibits that are simple display. In my opinion,... More

I went with three friends (all of us twenty-somethings) and we had a great time! The optical illusions are very cool, but the highlight was laser tag - I hadn't played in years and had forgotten how much fun it was! Since it was the end of the day the attendant let us go again for free, which was very... More

Kids had a blast and it was a great way to get out of the sun for 2 hours. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Two adults, two children 90 dollars....but you can come and go all day. So split the cost with another family and re-enter with your ticket.

Glad I didn't read too much into the reviews because this place was pretty interesting. We went with our 4 year old and we all found areas of interest. I would recommend this attraction if you have never been. We spent almost four hours inside as there was a lot to look at, read and do!
