THE BEST OF BRANSON WonderWorks, an indoor amusement park for the mind, brings STEAM focused activities for all ages to the Branson visitor. WonderWorks offers guests three floors on non-stop "edu-tainment" with over 100 hands-on activities focused on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, with interactive exhibits about natural disasters, light, sound, space, imagination and more. The attraction also features new and exclusive exhibits special to the Branson location. This includes an interactive military experience and an entire section devoted to Branson's rich history. WonderWorks features the attraction's iconic exterior – a grandiose house flipped upside-down. The unique façade is part of WonderWorks' background story. According to legend, it was once a top-secret laboratory that was lifted and flipped on its roof by an experiment gone awry. From its exterior to its interior, visitors of all ages will enjoy a family friendly, out of this world experience, which will make for some amazing memories. Some of WonderWorks state of the art experiences will include: Interactive Sandbox, Illusion Art Gallery, Xtreme 360 bikes, The Adventures of Professor Wonder and the Bubble Lab just to name a few.
