VERY overpriced ($60+) for what they offer. Several of the exhibits were closed down or under repair while we were there. The ropes coarse was the most interactive part but definitely not worth the money. Then they wanted to charge us $25+ plus for souvenir pictures they took while we were there. I would not recommend this attraction to anyone.... More

Lots of things to see and do, better than expected, would recommend if you get bored and are looking to blow a couple of hours.

There isn't much to this museum beyond it's unique exterior. There's definitely not much for children around kindergarten age. it took us only about 30 minutes to go through and our children were too small for the neat climbing area at the end.

We spent about 4 hours here on a rainy Saturday. We had fun. Very interactive place with interesting things to do. I thought it would be more crowded then it actually was. 7 year old loved it. 4 yr old couldn't do a couple things, but she was just tall enough for the ropes course, so she had fun.

WonderWorks is a great place for families. The exhibits inside each room were wonderful and interesting. This place would be appropriate for all ages- Toddlers to seniors. I would really recommend the ropes course. That was a blast! Thanks for reading!

This was a fascinating and fun place to visit. Plenty of scientific activities and games for the visitors. Two schools were visiting the day I went and there was STILL plenty of opportunities to interact with the exhibits. Three stories of space and very educational for young people. Nice and helpful staff, too.

I have visited WonderWorks twice in PCB and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Although I am in my twenties it is a fun place to go and experience different activities. Would definitely go in your free time.

I visited WonderWorks while in Panama Beach City, Florida in November 2012. It was just a short distance from my hotel and was a fun place to spend time. There are a great variety of things to see and do from creating huge bubbles to walking a ropes course. Nice interesting design also of the building from outside as it... More

We were forewarned that there were busloads of kids in the building, but with the weather looking like rain, we decided to check it out. Walking through the tunnel to enter, you feel as though you're almost upside down! Overall, there were a lot of interesting items to view, and many attractions for children. Plan on a few hours, more... More

My friends had a great time and they are in their 20's so it is not just for kids.Now the price is a bit high but for a vacation stop I would say get to it and enjoy.ALSO you can get discount pass if you do the Ripley's and this together if I got what they told me.
