Description

from WonderWorks - Tennessee
WonderWorks is an amusement park for the mind featuring over 100 interactive exhibits. It is 35,000 square feet of family fun.

The entire family will enjoy this fun, educational and totally upside down attraction in Pigeon Forge. Located at the north end of the Parkway, WonderWorks is filled with hands-on activities and experiences that will delight and entertain all ages. And the upside down reference... well, you’ll just have to see it to believe it!

Experience an extraordinary adventure in our 12-seat 4D XD MOTION THEATER as you transcend time, space, and imagination. This one-of-a-kind experience combines 3D film with special effects and full motion seating, ranging from subtle sensations to intense vibrations. The XD Theater 4D experience will virtually transport you from your seat into the big-screen action and adventure!

Experience the real work of a forensic scientist in fingerprint identification, 3D Facial reconstruction, and facial recognition in our interactive FORENSIC SCIENCE EXHIBIT.

WonderWorks takes family fun to new heights with the Largest Indoor ROPES CHALLENGE COURSE. Standing over 40 feet tall, visitors will climb 3 stories of ropes as they encounter over 45 different obstacles and activities; including a tire traverse, suspension bridges, and swinging beams. Closed shoes required for this experience. The ropes course is included in the price of admission.

Test your physical strength in the CHALLENGE ZONE. Climb to the top of our gigantic rock climbing wall or check your psychological endurance as 3,500 Sharp nails rise beneath while you are lying on our bed of nails.

The SPACE ZONE is a great place to explore the depths of Outer Space. Explore life-size replicas of an Astronaut Space Suit and Mercury Capsule. Better yet, take a seat in the Shuttle Landers and use your hand-eye coordination to maneuver the controls and land the Discovery Space Ship on the airstrip.

The SOUND and LIGHT ZONE - Jam on MTV drums and rock in your favorite music era, and don’t forget to strike a pose at Recollections then turn around and see what your very own shadow looks like after you walk away.

Ever wonder what it would be like to experience a natural disaster? Now you can in WonderWorks Natural DISASTER ZONE. The 1989 San Francisco earthquake, one of history’s most renowned earthquakes, which stopped baseball’s World Series and collapsed a freeway, is recreated in the laboratory. Get ready to feel what a 5.3 earthquake really feels like.

The CONTROL CENTER promises endless entertainment. Kids from 1 - 101 will love our Bubble Room, where you can literally put yourself in a bubble that you created. Or stop by the Wonder Coaster to ride the roller coaster you have always wanted to ride.

"So fun!"
May 2019 NEW
Our kids were a little young (3 & 2) to enjoy everything, but there was a bunch for them to do. They had fun with the bubbles, flight simulators, and coloring a dinosaur that showed up on a projected image on the wall. So much neat stuff for kids to do. When are kids get big enough to do things like the space walk, we will definitely be doing that.

"So busy"
April 2019
We bought tickets ahead of time and still had to wait at least half hour to get in. This place was so busy, but the kids loved it, interacting with stuff, but lines were really long, we will have to go back and try doing everything again because there wasn't enough time.

"We could have spent the entire day here."
March 2019
We went to Pigeon Forge for spring break. I took my 6 and 8 year old girls. WonderWorks was so much fun. We could have stayed all day. I love that once you get inside, everything is included in admission (except the laser tag). They had a ton of things to do, so many interactive exhibits. My girls loved the Rock Wall and Rope Course. They were too little for a few things, but there was plenty to do for ALL ages.

The only negative thing was the wait for laser tag. It appeared only one person was working both the laser tag and the concession stand (or maybe the arcade) because someone would start a game, the game would end and no one would show up for another 15 - 20 minutes to start the next game. We waited about 40 minutes to play (2 rounds of people ahead of us, games are 7 minutes long). No one gave clear instructions on how to put on the vest, how to play, etc. We were just counted off and told to grab a vest. We will definitely return to WonderWorks, but will not spend the extra money for Laser Tag.

Tip: Wear tennis shoes and athletic clothing so you can enjoy all the exhibits.

"Great...for the right family"
March 2019
I'm torn on a rating because for the right family, this place is a must visit. But for us, it was a bust, and I feel like we would have saved our money and gone elsewhere if WonderWorks was more upfront about what the inside is like.

Despite the claims to the contrary from WonderWorks itself, this is a poor choice for kids under 1st grade, or even gradeschoolers who are smaller than average. There were a plethora of cool things that our 5-year-old couldn't do because he couldn't reach the pedals and our short 2nd-grade niece wouldn't have been big enough, either.

This also seems like a popular spot for field trips (there were three buses full of middle schoolers when we got there) which means lots of undersupervised 5th-6th graders. My son wanted to try everything, but was too little for almost all of it and got crowded out by bigger kids where he could actually participate.

As for the attractions themselves, they're VERY sensory heavy. My son has epilepsy and is mildly autistic. He doesn't have any tactile sensory issues, but I was concerned about the lights and sounds after another mom we met in Pigeon Forge warned us that the website downplayed the intensity.

While that's true, this is really a "YMMV" situation. The inversion tunnel at the beginning has a bypass door, and the only area with strobe lighting is clearly marked with an epilepsy warning. With those two precautions and our trusty noise-canceling earmuffs, we were fine.

All of those caveats aside, this place is REALLY COOL. 12-year-old me would have loved it! For families with normally developing kids 3rd-grade and up, this is a must visit. For everyone else, I suggest looking for video reviews on Youtube so you can see the inside for yourself before you buy tickets.

Tip: Sensory heavy, very little for kids under about 4'9" to do. Look up video reviews to see the inside for yourself before you buy.

Reviewed May 14, 2019 NEW
This place is one we go to often when we’re in town. We went with 2 adults, 12,9,2, and newborn. Our 9 year old has special needs and we should have brought our headphones. Note you enter in through a spinning tunnel. There is an option to bypass that if needed! You can save $2/ticket if you order online plus online tix are good for 1 year. We went during off season for the area and on a weekday, but towards the end of the school year we were met with 500 school kids. It’s open 9a-9p and took us about 2 hours to go through. We had a great time when we waited until 3p.

Not sure what to expect we said “Okay, let’s give it a try”!! 2 and 1/2 hours later we came out laughing and loving every minute. If you like science center type stuff you won’t be disappointed. Some of the attractions are showing some wear and tear but so am I 😜.
