WonderWorks is an amusement park for the mind with 35,000 square feet of “edu-tainment”. The attraction combines education and entertainment with more than 100 hands on exhibits that challenge the mind and spark the imagination.
This once top-secret laboratory was located in the Bermuda triangle. An experiment gone awry lifted the laboratory carrying it to Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach where it landed upside down. Luckily all of the exhibits remained intact and available for guests to explore.
Many customers enjoyed the interactive exhibits and activities, noting that both kids and adults had a great time.
Staff Performance
Feedback on staff was mixed; while some employees were praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, others were described as unfriendly or unhelpful.
Value for Money
Several reviews mentioned that the experience felt overpriced, especially when some attractions were not functioning or required additional fees.
Food Options
Customers expressed a desire for healthier food options, as the current offerings were seen as basic and not suitable for longer visits.
Age Suitability
The attraction is primarily geared towards younger children, with some reviews indicating that older kids and adults may not find it as engaging.

Went because we thought it looked cool. It was okay. Loud. Expensive. 80$ for two of us. Also half the stuff was either broken or couldn't be heard because of how loud the other machines were. There were some neat things though. Would be a great place to take kids except crazy expensive.

Entire place was very clean, and staff was helpful. My kids were ages 8 & 9 and there were several things that they were too mature for. Because of this we only spent about an hour & and half here. I had wished due to the pricing that we’d have been able to spend more time here, but there weren’t enough exhibits for more mature audiences.

Not anything too exciting, way too expensive for what you get.

It’s a neat place for kids. Our had a ton of fun. They have 4 floors of activities and they have some food items for sale on the 4th floor. It’s basic food, corn dogs, pretzels and hotdogs. The staff are friendly. We rode the gravedigger ride and my headset was broken. The kids that ran the ride didn’t know what was wrong and I ended up riding it without a working headset. All in all it’s good for kids but adults may not have a ton of fun beyond watching their kids play and explore. It’s worth checking out at least once.
