Boasting 35,000 square feet of “edu-tainment,” Wonderworks Orlando is a staple attraction to Pointe Orlando and International Drive.

Of course, there’s plenty to learn about when visiting Wonderworks Orlando, as it is not called the ‘edu-tainment’ center for no reason. Guests are also invited to visit The Wonder Zones, which host such experiences as the Imagination Lab, the Extreme Weather Zone, the Lights and Sounds Zone, and so much more.
