From the upside-down exterior of this quirky building to the many fascinating and unusual exhibits housed within, WonderWorks is sure to live up to its name!

As legend has it, the museum start as a secret laboratory that conducted research on a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle. Here, some of the world’s smartest scientists, who were led by Professor Wonder, were given the responsibility of harnessing the power of a tornado for the use of man. During the experiment, something went wrong and the tornado's power was unleashed in the lab, creating a huge vortex that swirled around and ripped the lab from its entire foundation! The power was so strong that it carried the lab thousands of miles away, landing it totally upside-down on the top of a brick warehouse in Orlando, Florida. Amazingly, all of the research and experiments remained completely intact and (somewhat) functional!

When you first walk inside of the building, everything will be totally upside-down! To enjoy the building, you must be inverted. Take a step inside of the inversion tunnel and watch the world turn right-side-up. Then you can enjoy more than a hundred hands-on exhibits that will confront children and adults alike with a variety of hands-on exhibits that will help them better understand the strange universe surrounding us and have fun while doing so! Simulator rides focusing on everything from flight to earthquakes, a hands-on bed of nails, and even devices that allow you to create your own dream rollercoaster and test it out through simulation are just a few of the activities you’ll find waiting for you! Combine Wonderworks with awesome Orlando Florida vacation deals to ensure that your time in Orlando is unforgettable!
