Wonder Works
Published On: Oct 26, 2006

From the moment you drive up to Wonder Works in Orlando, you'll know that you're in for an experience unlike others you've had. The upside down museum, offers exhibits that will stimulate the imagination, and give you a chance to learn some new things.

Kids of all ages will be impressed with exhibits that let them experience a simulated space shuttle landing. Once you've learned the basics of how it is done, you'll get the chance to test your knowledge by taking the controls and guiding the craft down onto the runway.

And speaking of runways, have you ever wanted to know what it's like to pilot an F14 or F18 fighter jet? Though you won't actually leave the ground, you'll get to feel the thrill of flying from the cockpit with this simulator and the three video monitors that not only help to create the sense of motion but that also give you the chance to see the sky through a pilot's eyes.

From the sky to the ground, Wonder Works is a place where visitors learn by doing. Just as the the experience of flight is recreated in the fighter jets exhibit, guests can participate in an earthquake simulator. The 5.3 San Francisco quake that stopped the World Series and traffic (with a freeway collapse) has been replicated to shake your adrenaline and let you safely sense the power of our planet.

But you can also explore the power of the body. You can see what it's like to lay down on a bed of nails - 3500 of them. Or, you can lean against a wall made of 40,000 pins and create a three-dimensional impression of your body. Like magic, when the next person comes along, the wall will take on his or her shape.

Speaking of magic, also features at Wonder Works is '"The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show." Reservations are definitely suggested, because this fun mix of magic tricks and improvisational comedy often sells out. Not only do you get the entertainment, but you also get a meal of all the pizza you can eat, as well as beer, wine or soda.

If you're hungry and can't get in to the show, stop by the Wonder Works Cafe. Snack on pizza, chicken nuggets, pretzels and a number of other items sure to fuel you up for a game of lazer tag.

Wonder Works has a 10,000 square foot lazer tag arena. Get geared up and enter the maze and challenge your family to see who has the best aim!

Once you've had a chance to check out the exhibits, the show and to play a high energy round of lazer tag, aim for the Wonder Works gift shop. There you'll be able to pick up all sorts of souvenirs of your day of play - t-shirts, postcards, mugs; there's guaranteed to be something for everyone!

But that's the wonder of Wonder Works - no matter who you are or how old you are, you'll find something to grab your interest and spark your imagination in this upside down attraction.
