Let your imagination run wild at WonderWorks
WonderWorks, a scientific amusement park for the mind, has brought its “edutainment” venue for people of all ages to Destiny USA. The Syracuse venue features more than 100 hands-on experiences, demonstrations and activities. This is WonderWork’s first location in the northeast United States and one of only five locations in the country.
WonderWorks combines education and entertainment in over 100 hands-on exhibits that will spark the imagination and challenge the mind. Interactive, educational and fun for all ages, those visiting the attraction will enjoy a variety of experiences including being blown away by 84 mile per hour hurricane-force winds, manoeuvring the controls of a NASA spacecraft to land the shuttle, lying on a bed of 3,500 nails, piloting a fighter jet, designing and riding a 360-degree virtual roller coaster, and a game of laser tag.
Opened a year ago, the WonderWorks house is located on the third floor of Destiny USA and covers an area of nearly 40,000 sq. ft. The legend is that the WonderWorks house was once a top secret research laboratory where scientists from around the world collaborated to find answers to the unexplainable. Something went horribly wrong during their experiment to harness a man-made tornado and the power was unleashed throughout the laboratory carrying the house thousands of miles from the Bermuda Triangle.
When visitors enter WonderWorks, they pass through an inversion tunnel that will turn their perspective upside-down. All of the exciting interactive activities were miraculously left intact after the tornado and are there for everyone to enjoy.
“WonderWorks is thrilled to join Destiny USA with its newest location,” said Jackie Vasquez, corporate director of sales and marketing. “We are excited to introduce the Northeast to this amazing attraction and engage people of all ages with stimulating and educational activities.”
WonderWorks currently has four other locations: Orlando, Florida; Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; Panama City Beach; Florida, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
“The addition ofWonderWorks at Destiny USA and our region is a tremendous draw,” said David Holder, president of the Syracuse Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It provides great entertainment value, it’s an exciting new destination for tourists and it’s another unique venue to Destiny USA.”
“WonderWorks is a destination in itself and is an enormous contribution to the entertainment mix on the third floor,” said David Aitken, Destiny USA team member.
