We’ve just left Parrot Mountain and now here we are at Wonderworks. Wonderworks calls themselves an “Amusement Park for the Mind” that offers things such as an Inversion Tunnel (My kids freaked out and refused to go thru this.), a Bubble Lab, Optical Illusion Art, a Light and Sound Zone, Disaster Simulators, and tons more! The upside down building is enough to spark your interest alone! But, this week was FREE for homeschoolers & their family so who can pass up that deal when it’s normally $20/adult!?!?!?
Earthquake simulator.
Tornado simulator.
“It’s MY turn for the shooting game!!”
Here, the pulses of light trick your brain into thinking the raindrops are moving upwards…but, in actuality, they’re not!
An air-hockey game that is has no puck or those knob things that you smack them with (What are they called???). It’s controlled just by the wave of your hand and the shadows of the puck move around like a real air-hockey game. I want one of these for my house!
These two guys have electrodes strapped to their heads and are trying to move a metal ball (Can’t see it in this pic) that is in the middle of the table with their minds. It’s a battle of the brains, only, I think the ended up falling asleep while focusing so hard!!!
The girls got to rock climb.
Look! It’s like that life-size keyboard at FAO Schwartz in the Tom Hanks movie “Big“. Love that movie!!
Thelma was so proud of herself for being able to lay on a bed of nails. I was proud of her too because I tried it and it hurts…alittle…
We had a psychedelic time playing with the light screen.
Now for some psychedelic art.
You are getting sleepy. No, you are getting dizzy!
Field trips are the best!! I know I always looked forward to them when I was in school.
There was so much more to do here and my kids had an absolute blast!
Our family enjoyed a super-fun filled day together exploring, learning and having fun!
