Tickets and Pricing for Wonderspaces Austin

When booking you select a time slot or you can upgrade for an anytime ticket (during the same day).

This film displays a few of my favorites from the different presentations. The led bulbs were changing color to sound. I used phone footage, for the first time, my talented husband captured of the portrait made from hanging balls. The moving sculptural elements were a weird illusion that I know was caused by the light due to the flickering in the clips. The other area I spent a lot of time was in the mirror area. It looked and sounded like something out of a horror film set and it was fun to film in.

The cool thing about Wonderspaces is they change up the displays every so often. We look forward to our next trip to see what they have next. If you get the chance it is totally worth the expense!

When to Visit Wonderspaces for the Best Experience

As with most things in a bigger city, during the week is generally not as busy as the weekend. People usually spend about an hour and a half there.

Is Wonderspaces Good for Kids? My Honest Parent Review

Yes, but I will admit that I was nervous about my toddler. I kept fearing he was going to do something, but thankfully nothing happened. He did enjoy it and nothing was broken or destroyed. I would highly recommend if you’re nervous to just wait a year or two because it took the enjoyment of it out for me because I felt I needed to be paying more attention to him.

I felt it was better suited to children 4+ personally, but hey, maybe you have a mature 2 year old… that’s your call. Some things can be touched or interacted with, but some things aren’t and those areas were roped off, but could have still be accessed by a hard headed threenager so just be aware of that. Heads up: Some installations have flashing lights and loud audio. If your child is sensitive to sensory stimulation, it may be overwhelming.
