WonderWorks Orlando

WonderWorks Orlando is extremely hard to miss. Located in the heart of International Drive next to Pointe Orlando. It’s upside down. I don’t mean it’s a little weird. I mean the entire building is inverted!

It looks like a twister took the building and flipped it over. Right down to the grass being on the top of the building. It’s certainly something you should see when you visit Orlando, Florida. WonderWorks Orlando is a great indoor activity on rainy or hot days.

During one of his experiments something went crazy and the sheer power and force ripped the building from it’s foundation and hurled it thousands of miles away to Orlando, Florida. Where it landed upside down with all the experiments intact and functional. Kind of a crazy story but a fun twist.

That’s not the best part of this unusual attraction in Orlando, Florida. There tons of other fun things to do. Step inside to see what else this kooky place has to offer. With over 100 interactive exhibits you’ll be entertained with the weird and wonderful.

If you decide to check out WonderWorks Orlando you can plan on spending two or three hours there. This isn’t one if those all day Orlando, Florida attractions.

If you don’t want to contend with the crowds consider avoiding the high times including: Mid-March through Late April (“Spring Break”), Memorial Day weekend, Summer break (June-August), and Christmas break.

This is not really an attraction that’s geared towards adults (unless you’re young at heart.) If you’re looking for highly sophisticated exhibits and things that’ll blow your socks off you may be disappointed. But, if you’re looking for a family friendly, educational experience than WonderWorks Orlando would be a great choice.

This isn’t Disney Quest it’s aimed at being a more educational experience. Even the interactive games are set up to make you think. Take a ride on a roller coaster (a simulated one that is), lay down on a bed of nails (without getting hurt), and see what the inside of a space shuttle looks like. Feel the winds of a 70 mph hurricane or land a plane in a flight simulator.

There’s packaged deals that you can get. You can add on a game of laser tag inside a black light maze, hang out on the ropes course that’ll take you through 20 different obstacles and activities or add on some dinner.

You and the kids are sure to enjoy the family friendly Outta Control Dinner Show. If you do get the combo package for the dinner show make sure you decide on something to do in between or plan on visiting the attraction a couple of hours before dinner so you don’t have to come back.

The Outta Control Comedy and Magic show is a fun time. If you looking for some good clean fun and a decent pizza and popcorn, kid friendly dinner, then you should check it out.

Once you pay the fee to get into WonderWorks Orlando you can come and go as you please. So if you wanted to experience it again within the some day you can. You could also go back within three days to enjoy the ropes course.

The rope climb is tons of fun. Sometimes it can be a little slow getting through they line if they don’t have enough people helping gear up the climbers. If you want to do this just make sure you wear a good pair of shoes.

There’s a lot of younger people (they’re probably only getting paid minimum wage after all) working at Wonderworks Orlando so you may run into less then acceptable customer service. But this isn’t always the case. Just keep that in mind if you run into a little snag.

To save a few bucks make sure to check out the Orlando coupons page. Things like the Entertainment Book and the Orlando Go card often offer buy one get one free deals. I’ve also seen deals from Groupon.com as well. Just look around a little because you’ll be surprised at how much money you can save.

Parking is located in the Pointe Orlando Parking Garage directly behind WonderWorks. There’s a fee for parking and the prices range from $3.00-$6.00 per car. WonderWorks Orlando doesn’t validate parking.
