WonderWorks in Myrtle Beach, SC

We had a great time here, I gave it only 4 stars because of the disorganization and mass chaos. It runs in so many different directions, with crowds flowing in and out of the same places, it caused a lot of bottle neck situations. It was frustrating not to get to see all of the exhibits because of the limited space and access. We did totally enjoy all the things we were able to do. It's a very unique place and totally worth the cost of admission,

We visited Wonderworks in Myrtle Beach towards the end of May. We received somewhat of a discount on the tickets because we bought the ticket package with Pirates Voyage from their site. It saved a little & every little bit helps, right? The building is very cool, definitely not something you see everyday! We got there as soon as they opened, which I recommend because towards the middle of the day, it gets busy! There was a school field trip there at the same time. We thought we wouldn't be able to have much access to the exhibits but to our surprise, we didn't have any issues with that. When we presented our tickets at the entrance, we were asked if the kids would like to take part in the scavenger hunt. It was $4.00 for the booklet, I believe. Once the kids answered questions about the exhibits in the booklet, they could get a "prize" at the end. Honestly, it wasn't worth it. We forgot to look in the booklet to answer the questions when we were at the exhibits. It was a hassle going back up the next floor to get the answer. Anyway, once we showed the completed booklet, the kids received a plastic silver coin with the Wonderworks logo on it & a BOGO on their Soar & Explore zip line & ropes course which we didn't do. We also received a 20% discount in the gift shop which almost covered the cost of the booklet. The booklet also has a map, which is probably why we forgot to answer the exhibit questions because we were too busy looking at the map! I don't believe you can get a map without getting the booklet, just FYI. It's still not worth the $4.00 though! They do have a map located on a wall inside the building. I'm not sure exactly where though. Back to the exhibits..... I put in my title that I was a little disappointed in Wonderworks because I guess I was expecting more. I thought there would be more exhibits, more hands on stuff to do. There is a lot of cool stuff to see & interact with, don't get me wrong, but not as much as I personally was expecting. Their website says they have over 100 hands-on exhibits. Either we didn't see them all or they weren't there because it sure didn't feel like over 100 exhibits to me. The top level was a large arcade. I thought that was a bit of a waste because that was a whole area where they could've had more exhibits but it was just a large arcade area to spend even more money in. I will say that the laser tag & glow in the dark indoor ropes course was included in our ticket price, which was nice. We were lucky enough to play laser tag, just us 4. The school group was behind us so I guess that's why they let only my family go in. It lasted 15 minutes & we really had fun, I must say. My daughter & husband enjoyed the glow in the dark indoor ropes course as well. I'm glad we went to Wonderworks because we did have fun & saw some cool stuff but I don't think we'll be going back.

Our family of four (parents plus 11 yr old and 15 yr old) visited here on a Friday in early June. Pros- we could come and go that day. It was nice to take a break for supper and then return. -It was entertaining on a cloudy/rainy day, especially for the 11 yr old. -Lines were not long. We didn’t need to wait long to try anything. - Staff was friendly and helpful. I had a question about one attraction. The attendant there did not know the answer, but he had the manager come to talk to me. -The ropes course is fun. Cons - - It’s very hands on, and therefore not the cleanest. I felt like I needed hand sanitizer constantly. - The laser tag is included, but was kind of lame. There were way too many people in the space for it to be fun. - Our 15 yr old, having been to one of these before, was not as entertained as the 11 yr old. Though he did like some of the attractions and rides. -It’s not cheap. Make sure you have enough time to do it all so you get your money’s worth! We were there for close to 4 hours. Overall, it was okay. I’m glad we did it because our 11 year old seemed to really enjoy it.

Wonderworks was amazing!! My kids had a blast. It's clean and fun. Just be mindful, because if you do not have the All access pass and decide to do the lasor tag first, when you leave lasor tag, you exit to the gift shop and will not be allowed back in or at least so they said. We had the pass but just wanted to let non pass holders know to do lasor tag last if you donot get the all access pass.Other than that, the staff was amazing. Met some amazing workers from Jamaica who were over the top amazing. Go and enjoy yourself, it was a great time.

Very nice experience. there was very interesting activities/games to choose from. our favorite one was the XD movie.
