WonderWorks

Experience the incredible forces of nature at a host of immersive exhibits. Put on a steel armour glove and become a human lightning bolt as 100,000 volts of electricity are emitted to your fingers. Feel the ground shaking impact of the 5.3 magnitude earthquake that shook San Francisco Bay back in 1989 at the Earthquake Café. Then prepare to be totally blown away at the Hurricane Shack where you'll be exposed to the power of a category 1 hurricane reaching speeds of up to 74 mph.

Home to a number of fantastic exhibits, this is where you can put the laws of physics to the test. Create 3D images of your body on the gigantic Wonder Wall made of 40,000 plastic pins, or take on the Bed of Nails to really challenge your nerves. Create bubbles big enough for you to fit inside in the Bubble Lab and show off your athletic skills with Virtual Sports. Play Mindball, a game that goes against the concept of high-energy competitiveness, where each player wears electrodes to evaluate brain activity and the player with the calmest mind wins!

Visit the Space Discovery zone for fun that's simply out of this world. Climb into a life-size replica of a Mercury Capsule and experience what it feels like to sit inside this one-man vehicle. Explore the surface of Mars with the virtual Rover and see if you have the skills to successfully land a space shuttle. Witness the rolls, tumbles and feelings of weightlessness an astronaut experiences when on a space mission with the 2-person gyroscope. Then feel the adrenaline of this 360-degree pitch and roll motion ride as you design your very own roller coaster and take a ride on your creation.
