Whether you call it an amusement park or an attraction, Orlando's
WonderWorks is 35,000 air-conditioned square feet of "edu-tainment"
(education and entertainment) that will challenge the mind and spark
imagination. With six WonderZones and more than 100 hands on and
interactive displays the family can be entertained for hours.

Easily
recognizable as the "upside down" attraction, the premise is that this
once top-secret laboratory was located in the Bermuda Triangle. An
experiment gone awry lifted the laboratory and carried it all the way to
Orlando where it landed upside down. Isn't it lucky that all the
experiments remained intact and available for exploration?
There
are six WonderZones — Natural Disasters, Physical Challenge, Light &
Sound Zone, Space Discovery, Imagination Lab and Far Out Art Gallery —
with over 100 hands-on and interactive displays, including Earthquake
Cafe (experience a 5.3 magnitude earthquake), Hurricane Shack (experience hurricane force winds
of 71 m.p.h.), land a space shuttle, fly a fighter jet, design your own
Wonder Coaster and then take a simulated ride on your creation and so
much more.
Additionally, a Forensic Science Exhibit is coming soon. Guests
will be able to experience the real work of a forensic scientist in
three areas — fingerprint identification, 3D facial recognition, and 3D
facial imaging and reconstruction.

Of course, there is even more to see and do at WonderWorks:
4D XD Motion Theater - A one-of-a-kind experience that combines 3D film with special effects and full-motion seating.
Indoor Ropes** Course
- This 3-story, glow-in-the-dark experience will challenge even the
most advanced athlete while "just for fun" climbers will build
confidence one step at a time.
Laser Tag*** - Can
you out-shoot, out-play and outlast the other players? It won't be easy
in the black-lit environment! You'll need to upgrade your admission to
take part in laser tag activity.
And, once you've worked up an
appetite, visit the Wonder Cafe for a hand-tossed pizza and beverage, or
stay for the comedy dinner show that requires a separate or combo
ticket.
Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show
Everything,
including the laughs, are unlimited at this most unusual dinner show.
Guests are served unlimited cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, popcorn
and dessert with a side of laughs and fun! The beer, wine and soda are
also unlimited.

Funny guy Tony Brent is a one-man show, but a cast
of dozens. He wittingly combines a mixture of magic, impersonations and
improvisational comedy into a thoroughly entertaining show where minds
will be read, predictions will come true and audience members' personal
items will vanish and re-appear.
