Wonder Works Museum

Devin and I went to Wonder Works today in Orlando. I have wanted to go ever since I drove past and saw the upside downbuilding. The entire place has different exhibits and games that are science related. It reminds me of a bigger, fancier, and more mainstream version of SciTech (museum in Aurora, IL that I went to as a kid).

We played a virtual reality game, put our hands in water that was the same temperature as the water Titanic passengers were plunged into, experienced a 5.3 earthquake, stood in hurricane winds, saw how fast we could throw a baseball (Devin is much, much better at this than I am), played virtual air hockey, played mind ball (the person with the calmer brain waves moves a ball toward the other person - you want to push the ball all the way over to them), laid on a bed of nails, played a giant sized piano, made shadows on the wall, put ourselves in giant bubbles, rode in a virtual roller coaster, and climbed through a three story ropes course. The ropes course was my favorite part. I stayed up there running through the different obstacles while Devin took pictures of me. There was an arcade under the ropes course and we played a couple games of ski ball and wack-a-mole. It was a fun day.

We had planned to do some letter boxes in Orlando but we couldn't find a place to park and the last ride at Wonder Works had made me motion sick so we went home instead.
