wonder works

[joe]

Hi all:wave:

has any one been to the wonder works is it worth the money we are going for 3 weeks but we have 14 day tickets for disney and universal,and we have got tickets for kennedy.Should i bother going to wonder works or give it a miss you can find most of whats in there in the parks.;):confused2

I personally didnt enjoy it I think the kids would give it a just ok.
Then the real cheek of it once you have paid the admission fee there is an extra area upstairs where everything has to be paid for.I am not tight by any stretch but I didnt think it was worth the admission fee.

This has never interested me. I've heard some bad reports about it and consequently have stayed away.

We went in 2003 and to be honest it is better on the outside than on the inside. We didn't think it was worth the money

[summertime85]

We haven't been but one of my friends has and she said it was a waste of time.

We are just back from holiday and we went to Wonderworks just last week. I honestly was not impressed. It cost us around $75 for the 4 of us and we were round it in little over an hour. They have some good stuff but I did not think it was worth the money and will not be visting again on future trips.

We went last week and we all 6 of us (10-nearly 60) really enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it was a must-do and if you're doing WDW, Universal and KSC it may be a bit much. We didn't have time to all the floors as we had a dinner reservation elsewhere but we were there for a couple of hours. It's not over-exciting but lots of small-scale low-key stuff of a vaguely educational scientific nature and made a nice contrast to all the bigger attractions at the parks. We went mid-afternoon and had no problems with having to wait to do anything.

As with everything else it depends on the sort of stuff you and your family like doing. My kids are 10 and 16 but both have a bit of a nerdy side!

We have been and would not go back or recommend it.

Places like these on I-Drive/192 are all places that I always say don't go unless you have a coupon (buy 1 get 1 free). There are loads of coupons floating around and they expect you to show up with one so the price is on the high side. These options are good for rain days (hopefully you don't have those days) or if you just need a non park day. They are nothing thrilling but at a discount they are ok.

we were here a couple of years back, wasnt that impressed (not with all everything else there is in orlando) all right if say we were visiting wonderworks in this country but rather boring for orlando.

We where there last month and dont know where the additional payment for entry area is? we went top to bottom and it was an okay couple of hours (would not go if no kids in the party) with discount coupon it was more expensive that going to a park but as it was one of our Chill days we didnt mind.
Okay as a one off and a million times better than Ripleys (which was the same price but poor poor poor)

Hi

We went last year and were quite disappointed. most things appeared to be broken/not working and it seemed really 'packed' in there. Wish i had gone to Ripleys instead. It does look inpressive from the outside though. If you have children who are at an age to appreciate 'science' type stuff then it may be worth it (with a money of coupon)

I like it, but it is expensive for what it offers.

Always been interested in the magic dinner show, but I fear it'll suck like Capone's did :(

Have to say that when we went in I thought that this was pretty shabby looking and it was going to be a waste of an evening. However we did actually enjoy spending our evening in there.

I would add thoough that it was pretty quiet so there was no hanging around to play with the exhibits. I could imaging that it would be a real drag if the place was busy.
