WonderWorks

WonderWorks is a fun, over-the-top science center. It’s less expensive than most local theme parks, and makes a good addition if you have an extra day, or just a few hours to fill on a vacation itinerary. The WonderWorks building isn’t hard to spot – it’s the only one along International Drive in Orlando that’s upside down. After walking through a spinning vortex – which can throw your equilibrium off a little – you enter the Natural Disasters area. You can experience a 5.3 magnitude earthquake, feel hurricane-force winds, become a human lightning rod, and see water droplets that defy gravity. Each of the 100+ exhibits throughout the building are hands-on, offering kids of all ages an experience that will surely keep them talking.
