WonderWorks

Housed in a hard-to-miss, upside-down building, this is a bright, loud, frenetic landmark, and is a cross between a children's museum, a video arcade and an amusement park. Several stories of interactive exhibits offer high-speed, multisensory education. Lie on a bed of nails, sit inside a hurricane simulator and so on.

Younger children may find the pulse disorienting and frightening, but older ones will probably enjoy the cool stuff there is to do. There's also a 36ft indoor ropes course, a 4D theater with changing shows, laser tag and the nightly (and very funny) Outta Control Magic Show.
