What's inside

Inside the upside-down building

WonderWorks is an indoor science attraction with exhibits and rides for all ages, which makes it one of the easy picks for a rainy day in Branson.

The upside-down building

The building stands on its roof, so the ceiling is under your feet when you arrive. An inversion tunnel at the entrance turns you the right way round before the exhibits start.

100+ hands-on exhibits

48,000 square feet of science you can touch, in zones for weather, physics, light and sound, space, and earth and life. Popular photo spots are the Spacesuit, the Bubble Lab and Dig It.

Only in Branson

Exhibits on Route 66, the Ozark ecosystem and Branson-area history, a military zone, and exhibits on American innovation and with Webster's Dictionary.

Rides and laser tag

The Wonder Coasters, the 360 Bikes, the Clip 'n Climb walls, the XD Theater and the Astronaut Training Gyro, plus laser tag.

Wonder Art Gallery

Includes OZART, a collection of work by young artists from Missouri and Arkansas.

Route 66 Cafe and gift shop

Food is sold at the cafe inside, since outside food and drinks aren't allowed. The gift shop has postcards, T-shirts, mugs and hats.
