Amusement Business Magazine calls this Wet 'n Wild venue the nation's best-attended water park. With the variety of rides offered, it's no wonder. Adults love thrill rides such as the Blue Niagara Slide, 300 feet of intertwined looping tubes twisting six stories high. Children enjoy milder thrills at the Kids Park section. The whole family can kick back on the Take It Easy offerings, including the mile-long Lazy River for tubing. Pools are heated in the winter. If all this activity leaves you hungry, you can fill up at one of the park's several snack bars. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Has science gone crazy? |
9067 International Drive Pointe Orlando Entertainment Complex Orlando, FL 32819 United States +1 407 351 8800 http://www.wonderworksonline.com/ ops@wonderworksonline.com |
This museum bills itself as the museum "where science has gone crazy." While not as cerebral as some other area attractions, such as the Orlando Science Center, this attraction will amuse both children and adults and they can pick up some quirky scientific information along the way. This bright place offers more than 100 hands-on exhibits, including: the Bridge of Fire walk-through, simulating the power of 250,000 watts of electricity; a Mystery Lab, in which water flows up, against the force of that pesky gravity; and the Earthquake Experience simulation room.
