I seem to suffer quite badly from static shocks, so I was hesitant to try the display. The case had hand holes where you could put your hands and arms into a chainmail glove and “touch” the electricity. One of the displays that caught our attention was a Tesla Coil in a glass case. Abigail, entered the hurricane simulator without her hair tied back, which added to our amusement. There is a hurricane simulator and an Earthquake simulator, which you can enter as a family.

The First floor has a load of exhibits that show weather based fun. So I’ll refer to them from lowest to highest. The Floors are numbered upside down, so the basement is the top floor (remember the building is upside down).

This is quite a fee for a science-based museum / attraction, but we’re on holiday and I’ll go with the flow. Tickets are priced at $33.99 for Adults and $24.99 for children. You pay a one-off entry fee to access all activities. Wonderworks Orlandoīoiling it down to facts Wonderworks is a science museum, set in an upside-down building.

I can recall seeing it on American TV as an advert with a live news report style production. Wonderworks on International Drive was on the never been, but fancy seeing list. No matter how many times you go there are always more reasons to return. It has always been somewhere we loved going as there is so much to do. Previously with my parents, I’d been 4 or 5 times. As a family, we’ve been going to Florida on and off for about 8 years.
