WonderWorks Orlando
You can't miss WonderWorks: the whole facade is built upside down. Inside its 28,000 square feet are 100-plus hands-on science-and-illusion exhibits across six themed zones — hurricane simulators, a bed of nails, an inversion tunnel — plus a three-story glow ropes course and a black-light laser-tag arena. It's edutainment, best for kids and a rainy afternoon, not a serious science museum.
The upside-down building on International Drive, and the most reliable rainy-afternoon energy burn for restless kids — indoor and air-conditioned throughout. 4.3 from nearly 11,000 reviews. Worth knowing the ropes course, laser tag and the magic dinner show are separate add-ons, so the sticker price isn't the whole price.
