We are going back to Florida at the end of June.Has anyone been to the Hard Rock Vault ,Ripleys,Wonderworks or Orlando Science Center.Are they worth going to.:wiggle: :wiggle: :pgig: :stitch:

HRV is closed now I believe. OSC is supposed to be really good DD1 wants to do this on this trip.

Hated Ripleys, the shrunken heads made me feel queasy, and we have never heard a good word said about Wonderworks.

Would definately recommend Titanic exhibition. I loved it and found it very interesting although DD (6) and DH were bored after a while. Each to his own.....

Didnt think much to Wonderworks looks good on the outside but inside rubbish

Ripleys - excellent fun.

Wonderworks - rubbish.

We liked Ripleys. We didn't have kids with us but kids in there seemed to be loving it.

As said above the Titanic Exhibition was brillioant.

Hard Rock Vault was good, but is now closed.

OSC - we have not been there but hope to go in the future.

We have not been to wonderworks.

We went to Ripley's with a 13 and a 14 year old (boys). We went there on our first night in Orlando and on to a restaurant for late dinner. You only need a couple of spare hours to see it.

The boys loved it. Especially the spinning tunnel at the end!

It would be really easy to walk through quickly and miss things. You really need to take your time and look carefully at everything. It is fascinating but I would not recommend going out of your way to see it.

Ripleys was so so wonderworks our DS's loved and there's a lot to see and do there...We also did HRV and the kids were fairly bored (13 and 11) but we enjoyed it,sadly it's now closed ..

[LizzyBear]

I really enjoyed Ripleys, as has been said you don't need long there and they're open late so going after dinner is a good idea =]

[Wonder]

Loved Loved Loved Ripley's! The spinning tunnel at the end is so funny if you're there with someone with no balance! It's good for using up a couple of hours on a lazy day.

Seascreamer is in Clearwater, not sure if it actually be the worlds biggest speedboat but it sure looks like it! It seats around 50 or so and is great fun although you will get wet!
