Pigeon forge is packed with things to see and do yet Wonder Works stands out from the first time you lay eyes on it! The building has become something of a landmark, ie "Did you see the big upside down building? Well you go two blocks down..." but those that take the time to go inside and explore this fascinating place know it is soo much more than that! My family is from this area so we go to the shows and attractions on a regualr basis. Wonder Works is a family favorite! My husband, myself & our 2 two daughters (10&13) have enjoyed learning and exploring on many occasions since Wonder Works first opened, but we had not been in about a year so my youngest daughter asked if we could make the trip again. We were very pleased to find that not only were all our favorite attractions ( rock climbing wall, hurricane hole, bed of nails, etc) still there but some awesome new attractions had been added as well! The new "mind ball" was awesome we all played a couple of times, nobody could beat me! We enjoyed a game of "virtual air hockey". We tested the waters of the new "Titanic" exhibit. After a couple of hours of wonder and fun we made our way to the arcade area and had fun earning tickets and prizes. Then it was our favorite time of the day, DINNER! No dinner is complete in Pigeon Forge without a show! Hoot & Holler is an experience that I hesitate to try and describe! The star of the show "Scraps" is a comedic genius! He had us in stitches from the moment we walked through the door! He had a very tough crowd this evening inparticular as there was a group of middle school kids there. You could actually see these kids trying not to laugh but they couldnt do it! The food was great too! My husband and i loved the italian food. It is a great change from the usual fare at most of the area dinner shows! Our girls especially enjoyed the strawberry shortcake for dessert! When the show was over my daughter complained that her head hurt from laughing too much! The wait staff was phenominal, never letting our glasses go dry and providing some entertainment of their own! We got to meet the whole cast after the show and that made the girls feel kinda special, especially the older one who I think got a little crush on "Johnny" (awesome guy! Seen him other shows before, what a voice!). The whole experience at Wonder Works is just phenominal! I can't reccomend it enough! Take it from someone who has seen em all, Wonder Works is tops in this town!

Saw an article in our local paper and decided on the spur of the moment to take a quick trip. It was well worth it! We got the combo package with the dinner show and a game of laser tag along with a current 'stay and play' special of an extra day's admission. My 6 year old daugher had a blast and has already talked about going back again! The vast majority of the museum is inter-active and way cool. Fun for all ages except maybe the little tiny ones. They are open from 9am -midnight and you can come and go as you please which is really nice. The dinner show is great...don't miss it. I was afraid it would be this hokey red-neck disaster but it was very funny. Scraps makes the whole show. Don't miss it. You'll laugh till you cry! FYI- we paid for our tickets online and went into the show with no cash. Take some so you can tip your waitress!

Despite my daughters sensory issues we had a good time. She didn't have a melt down until midway. We then used her ear plugs! Great parenting.
We enjoyed each and every station. It is amazing to see what science has discovered and transformed into fun. The price of admission was steep, but it didn't stand alone from the rest of Pigeon Forge. Your hand stamp allows you to enter at any time during the day, so that helped. Loud, busy, fun, and full of things to learn. Oh.... if you bring a stroller in, try and stay on the lower level. Exiting is a pain once you have gone all the way to the end due to stairs.
