    Only worth one visit.
    Went down on a rainy day with my wife and 4 year old. Its pricey for what you get. Around $30 ish per person. If you sign up for their free rewards program, you can go for free within 7 days of your birthday. There's over 100 things inside to do at your leisure. Great for small kids with tons of hands on activities. It was great to do once but NEVER again. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great enough to ever go again at that price. For three people you are almost at $100.

    Fun and interactive
    Lots of interactive activities including rock wall climbing, high ropes course, bed of nails, hurricane simulator, astronaut training, wonder coaster, 4D theatre, laser tag and more. Many of them have height/weight restrictions though. My 9 year old could participate in all but 1 of the experiences. 6 year old unable to participate in all but 2 experiences - and had several experiences that required an adult to go with him. Probably would not recommend for under age 5, as they would not be able to get their moneys worth. The biggest factor will be the crowds - how long you spend here will be directly impacted by the length of the lines. The price is reasonable as you can stay all day or come and go, but if it is packed you will need the whole day to complete everything.

    Kids enjoyed it
    We went at the beginning of our spring break trip - it was busy! Some of the attractions had a long line (mainly the indoor rides) and some were not working or were not worth it. Personally, I was disappointed that we didn't get to see anything upside down, except for the outside of the building. Overall though, my kids enjoyed it, so it was worth it

    Fun
    We absolutely loved it! So many neat exhibits. We went on Rope course and rock wall for our first time. Everyone was so nice working! Winter helped us at rope course and then we saw her again at rock wall. She was so fun, helpful and encouraged us and our kids . It's a great place to visit with so many different things to do for all ages. Just make sure you come prepared with tennis shoes..We will definitely visit again. Thanks

    Our fun adventure at Wonder Works
    We had so much fun at Wonder Works. The tunnel at the beginning was unexpected and interesting. the quake ride was a bit lacking. We went on the ropes course for the first time and it was a blast! One of our kids got scared and stuck on a single rope obstacle on the top level. A worker named Winter helped her get across to the platform. Winter was so kind and helpful. the xdtheatre, coasters,& museum were cool. Everyone seemed to love working there. We will be coming back..

    Cool place
    This is a cool place. Very interesting inside. You can experience things like an earthquake or a hurricane. My daughter really loved the bubble area. Great for a family. Be aware it is a little expensive. Unfortunately, some of the things were not working. The outside is awesome and the inside lobby is cool too. Be sure to look up. My daughter has sensory issues and she did pretty well with it, but be aware if you have children with sensory issues they might not enjoy this.

    Kato Five Day Tour
    My family and I went on a five-day tour of Katong with the Wanda group, and guide Anna took us to famous places. She explained where to go before she arrived, and was lively and humorous in the car. She showed us the best views in the shortest amount of time, allowing us to stay in the best hotels and eat the best buffets; she always explained in bilingual (English and French) and took care of everyone in the car; she was responsible and attentive, counting people before each departure, and she wouldn't let the car go as long as one person didn't show up. This five-day tour makes me happy!!

    A wonderful time!
    We had a great time! Our daughter loved all the rides and exhibits. Her favorite was the ropes course and laser tag! She also loved the rock wall & virtual roller coaster. This place is excellent for an adventurous kid! We only saw a few things that were “out of order” but most everything was working. We spent around 4 hours there and felt like it was worth the money. The staff were super friendly and there to help when needed. It’s definitely a fun thing to do with your kids!

    Fun Experience, Little Pricey
    The visual appeal of a huge upside down building from the outside catches the eye, when you walk inside the lobby is upside down, but after you enter past the ticket stand, everything else is normal. This place is an interactive museum basically. Mind bending art and exhibits, some rides but kids 5 and under can’t really do much as far as the rides go. Our 8 year old did everything and had fun, just a little expensive at $40 per person for a 2hour museum experience. Great place to take kids 5-15 years old, older kids may not like it as much and younger kids will have fun but they won’t be able to do any rides.

    Family fun !
    Whether you have a 5-year-old or a 15-year-old teenager, this place offers fun for all ages! You can easily spend hours here exploring everything it has to offer. However, keep in mind that many activities have weight and height restrictions, so plan accordingly.

We had a great day at WonderWorks! I can definitely see that you would not want to be here on a very crowded day. I'd suggest going in the early morning. We went right when it opened and had a terrific time. It's not cheap, but it is one of, if not the best, values in Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg. You get a ropes course, laser tag, 4D theatre, Arcade style games, and more! Also, the only reason I'm writing this review is that JD and Scott were two of the best workers I've ever experienced at any tourist attraction ever! They are the best of the best! They made our day extra special!

We spent a rainy day at Wonderworks with our four kids aging from 3 to 11 years old. All of them had a great time and found things with which they could engage. I was surprised how long we were there. You can definitely pay more money elsewhere to be entertained for a shorter amount of time.

Malcolm at the front desk was great. After a pretty long wait in the ticket line he was able to get our kids enthusiasm right back up by talking with them about what they would see inside.

The only drawback might have been that it was pretty crowded. I guess that’s going to be the case on any rainy day though.

Personally I enjoyed the laser tag at the end. It reminded me of my teenage years.

Parts were still closed due to Covid. They were great at the first for social distancing. The lady that was telling us information as they let us in door made us stay apart from the other groups and told us to pay attention to marks on floor.
Girl at register was wiping down counter & key pad on cc terminal after every person.
Once we got inside social distancing was not enforced. We were waiting on the earthquake ride-had to ask people behind us to back up.
Guy wiped down the ride if you consider that he sprayed stuff on a rag that he had used numerous times before & quickly wiped down the table & seats.
At the hurricane exhibit, they left it up to you to use alcohol wipes to wipe down the glasses.
Have a 13 year old & some parts she liked & others, not so much.

We arrived about 10:50 when it wasn't very busy yet, and the inside line wasn't long. Unfortunately there was only one person working the ticket desk so we stood in line around 15 minutes. Many of the smaller activities are the same as what you'd see in a good children's museum. The big activities usually had a line including the space rope course. My granddaughter and I stood in that line around 30 minutes. I noticed that the 2 "ride" activities only had one side of the ride running which meant only 2 people at a time instead of 4. The lazar tag activity was closed. My 6 and 9 year old grandchildren were done and finished in 90 minutes. Not sure if it was worth the price.

We had kids of all ages with us 3yr-16ys plus several adults…. EVERYONE had fun! With our to tickets we could come and go as we pleased so that was a huge plus! Spend part of the morning and come back in the evening!
Everything was clean and being wiped down on a regular basis by masked employees. Very few guests had masks on, but everyone was respecting boundaries! Every manned seated ride was wiped clean after every guest.
Our ONLY complaint as the grandparents of this bunch was that we would have appreciated benches to sit and watch the kids play— it’s a LOT of standing! The only seating we found was upstairs at the little dining area.
We went on a Saturday morning and while guests increased incrementally as the morning progressed, it was never what we considered “crowded”…. We don’t know if they were controlling numbers at the door or not because we were there soon after opening and walked right in!
It was worth the tickets for us… some teenagers might get bored, but our group had fun! As adults, we also learned lots by reading the signs about how the different games worked and seeing the different displays.

We went with our children and my elderly in-laws. As others have stated dispute the best efforts of the staff once inside social distancing is difficult with children. The staff is constantly cleaning so that was nice to see. My 12 year old really enjoyed the activities and my seven year old who was the most excited about going...was afraid of everything when we went through the first time. My in-laws left about 2/3rds through because there were not places to sit and how crowded it was. We grabbed some lunch for the kids and my daughter told us she wasn’t afraid anymore and wanted to go back through. The crowds had died down and the second time through was a much better experience and what pushed my rating to five stars for my family.

This was a lot of fun with our 13 & 14 year old. We needed more time but we had plans to see the Magician there who we also highly recommend. We’ve seen him twice. After the Magic show we had dinner and another Christmas show so we weren’t able to go back and look at their hall of art. We enjoyed the ropes courses and all the other interactive activities. I held the record in my family for longest time with my hand in the cold water.

It was about $125 military discount for two kids 6 and 7 and two adults. About a dozen machines were broken. I was surprised at how many things you had to pay for. For example there was a Marvel exhibit. For $10 you get a picture. Then there were ducks you could also try your hand at for $1 a try. They let way to many people in for the small area. There was one spot you can push your hand into and make imprints, but you have to go around the other side to see. The 6 year old went to run around and an older kid hit the reset button and cleared it all away. There was an area where you can draw and color and you were supposed to put it into a wall that was a screen and it had cars, balloons, trucks etc. there were five tablets on the wall and only two were working. You could also color, but the kids were taking the seats for the table to stand on to play in the sand box. Also, the machine that you are supposed to place your coloring sheet under to get it to project in the scene was also broke. They had a dinosaur cut out where you could place your face in but they had it right in front of the craft area so you got all these people behind the cut out. Would be better if they had it against a wall so you could have a neat picture. The lite beige area did not have enough pegs to design any of the patterns on the exhibit. There was a neat machine that put your finger on and it prints out a card like you had been arrested. The 6 year old ate to many sweets which was sooooo true! But the 7 year old said to much texting, we may be the only family that the 7 year old doesn’t have a cell phone. It was hard to get her to understand why her sisters card for so accurate and hers was wrong. The wind tunnel were you have to ware plastic glasses to protect your eyes were not sanitized between people. They only had five glasses. Overall very expensive for a few hours or disappointment,

this is mostly kid friendly, If you are looking for a germy, sticky, screaming kids type Saturday night, go here. The downstairs is waiting in line for hours to do anything, the upstairs is more quiet but still pretty boring, more so an art show.
it's chaotic, they really need to schedule things better.
we spent 160 dollars on 4 tickets and were in and out in 15 minutes, super un-impressed and wished we wouldn't have wasted our money :( live and learn.

This is very much for kids and families. We were four adults visiting and were extremely bored and didn't find it worth the money we spent. However, it seemed that the kids there were having a great time. It is very imaginative and has many exhibits, but it doesn't have enough activities to compensate for the high price ($33 for adults).
