The go-to “edutainment” spot for all ages in the Florida Panhandle is about to turn sweet 16. On June 18, 2026, WonderWorks Panama City Beach will be celebrating its 16th anniversary, kicking off a summer that has never felt so sweet. Locals and vacationers are invited to get in on the anniversary celebration and make this summer one to remember at the upside-down house.
“WonderWorks is old enough to drive! Time flies!” said Darren Grooms, general manager at WonderWorks Panama City Beach. “It’s exciting to kick off another summer season on the Gulf Coast with this fun milestone. Our team is ready to spread the wonder and celebrate with everyone in the area!”
WonderWorks has been through a lot with the Panama City Beach community since opening, from catastrophic hurricanes to a rare snowfall. The attraction and its team are proud to be a part of the beautiful Florida Panhandle and provide the community with an indoor attraction that is a blast for all ages, including teenagers. There are over 100 exhibits for guests to explore and interact with, with some of the more popular exhibits being the Bed of Nails, the Astronaut Training Gyroscope, and the glow-in-the-dark suspended ropes course.
Whether someone is a thrill-seeker or wants a chill adventure, they will find it at WonderWorks. Each year, families, large groups, and school field trips make the upside-down house a must-visit destination. Inside, interactive exhibits challenge and engage guests while combining education with hands-on fun and unforgettable memories. Over the years, countless teachers and homeschool groups have visited WonderWorks to give students an immersive learning experience that brings classroom concepts to life.
Conveniently located on Front Beach Road, WonderWorks Panama City is a go-to spot for indoor entertainment for the family all summer long. It provides the ideal summer adventure, helping to keep guests comfortable during the heat, humidity, and thunderstorms that roll through, and this summer, the upside-down house is celebrating more than ever.
This summer, July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To celebrate America’s birthday, WonderWorks Panama City Beach will be launching The Great American Summer of Wonder. This celebration will include limited-edition America 250 merchandise in the gift shop, a special meal deal in the café that will be “Red, White & Delicious,” social media trivia, ticket giveaways, and more. The family meal deal is just $17.76 and comes with one large pizza, four soft drinks, and four freezer pops. Patriotic fun will also be offered online on the social media pages, featuring a new, printable Kids’ Corner Activity Sheet and ticket giveaways for winning patriotic trivia. WonderWorks’ celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary will run Memorial Day through Labor Day.
“STEAM plays a big role in American innovation, so in addition to our own anniversary, we’re thrilled to recognize America’s 250th here in the upside-down house!” said Amanda Roberts, education sales manager at WonderWorks Panama City Beach. “Between these two monumental birthdays and plenty of other fun events, this summer is sure to be a great one at WonderWorks.”
