WonderWorks (museum)

Each WonderWorks location contains interactive entertainment exhibits on the themes of space, physics, and math. Some locations also offer a dinner magic show, as well as a 4D XD motion theater. Each WonderWorks building is designed to look as if an existing building was ripped free of the ground by severe weather and dropped upside down on its roof. This unique design is credited to the Orlando architect Terry O. Nichoson of Nichoson Design International, at WonderWorks' original Orlando location. Nichoson went on to serve as the main design consultant for all subsequent WonderWorks locations.) (2011); Syracuse, New York (located inside of Destiny USA) (2012) and Branson, Missouri (2020). The exterior of WonderWorks museum is an upside-down building complete with upside down yard and decorations that continue to the inside of the museum. == Story ==

The story of WonderWorks begun with the world's greatest scientists led by Professor Wonder. Their top-secret research laboratory located on a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle was the site for their latest experiment, creating a man-made tornado. The experiment went wrong, and the tornado was unleashed into the laboratory, removing it from the ground and carried it thousands of miles away until it landed upside down onto the current locations. == Lower Buildings ==
