*21+, valid ID required.

Q: Why do ticket prices vary depending on when I book?

A: WNDR uses a dynamic pricing system, which means ticket prices can change in real time based on demand. This system ensures all guests can enjoy a more comfortable, uncrowded experience. Booking early or choosing a less busy time slot is the best way to secure the lowest available rate.

Q: Can I get a refund if I see a lower price after I’ve already purchased my ticket?

A: All ticket purchases are final. Ticket prices reflect demand at the time of purchase, so prices may vary over time—similar to booking hotels or flights.

Q: How will I know what the current ticket price is?

A: The current ticket price is always displayed before checkout on our website.

Q: Why did today’s ticket price change from what I saw yesterday?

A: Prices are updated in real time based on demand. If more tickets have been sold since you last checked, the price may have adjusted accordingly.

Q: My friend paid a different price for the same day. Why?

A: Prices vary based on when each ticket is purchased and how many have been sold for that specific time. Booking earlier typically results in lower prices.

Q: Why are prices based on 30-minute windows rather than full days?

A: This allows for more accurate crowd flow and demand-based pricing. It benefits our guests with more flexible price options and to ensure the best experience.

Q: Does dynamic pricing apply every day?

A: Yes. Dynamic pricing is in effect during all regular operating hours unless otherwise noted for fixed-price events or special promotions.

Q: Are WNDR+ tickets affected by dynamic pricing?

A: No. WNDR+ tickets are premium fixed-price tickets and are not subject to dynamic pricing.

Q: Are special events affected by dynamic pricing?

A: No. Special events and certain promotions use fixed pricing.

Q: What is WNDR+?

A: WNDR+ is our premium ticket option designed to give you the most flexible, enhanced, and worry-free WNDR experience. With exclusive perks and built-in protection, it’s the ultimate way to enjoy your visit—your way.

Q: What perks come with WNDR+?

A: You’ll get:

• An alcoholic* or non-alcoholic welcome drink of your choice
• A photobooth token
• 10% off merchandise and food & beverage purchases
• A collectible wristband
• Anytime entry—no time slot needed
• WNDR Cover protection for easy rescheduling or refunds
  

Q: How is WNDR+ different from the General Admission ticket?

A: While General Admission is a great value, WNDR+ offers added benefits and flexibility. General Admission tickets require a reserved time slot and are non-refundable. WNDR+ gives you the freedom to arrive when it suits you, built-in protection, and special perks to elevate your visit.

Q: Can I enter at any time with WNDR+?

A: Yes! With WNDR+, you’re free to enter the museum at any time during our open hours on the date of your visit—no need to reserve a time slot in advance.

Q: What’s the price of WNDR+?

A: Monday–Thursday: $59.99, Friday–Sunday: $65.99. Prices are fixed and don’t fluctuate like General Admission ticket pricing.

Q: Can I get a refund on my WNDR+ ticket?

A: Yes! WNDR+ includes WNDR Cover, which allows you to cancel or reschedule your ticket before your visit—no questions asked.

Q: What if I lose my wristband?

A: No problem. Just stop by the front desk and we’ll reissue it once we verify your ticket.

Q: What if I lose my drink redemption card?

A: We understand it happens! Unfortunately, redemption cards are single-use and can’t be replaced—so we recommend keeping it safe until you redeem it.

Q: Can I use the WNDR+ wristband for perks after my visit?

A: Perks are valid only on the day of your visit, but your collectible wristband makes a fun souvenir to remember your WNDR+ experience!

Q: Can I purchase WNDR+ in person?

A: WNDR+ is only available online. Box office tickets are same-day only and do not include WNDR+ perks or flexibility.

WNDR Museum is a permanent immersive art experience located in Chicago’s West Loop, San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, and Boston’s Downtown Crossing.

We were originally founded as a pop-up in Chicago in 2018. Depending on how long you choose to interact with each installation, it generally takes people about 45 minutes to up to an hour.

WNDR Museum consistently curates its experience by leaning into cutting edge technologies to welcome new installations year-round. You can find our most up-to-date exhibits for each museum under the “Visit” tab.

WNDR Museum was brought to life by visionary entrepreneur Brad Keywell, whose lifelong passion for creativity, curiosity, and connection inspired its creation. The spark for WNDR traces back to Brad’s childhood in 1977, when, as a seven-year-old, he wrote a heartfelt letter to Michigan Wolverines quarterback Rick Leach on yellow poster board with a blue Sharpie—colors reflecting his deep enthusiasm. To his delight, the letter led to a fully signed poster, proving that wonder paired with action can lead to extraordinary results.

Years later, this ethos of “wonder as a superpower” became the foundation for WNDR Museum. Brad envisioned a place where creativity thrives, curiosity leads, and human connection is celebrated—a space where people of all ages could explore the unexpected in everyday life.

Today, WNDR Museum is a vibrant celebration of creativity and play, blending immersive art experiences, innovative design, and transformative storytelling. It’s not just a museum—it’s a movement, made for all who seek to wonder.

We highly recommend booking tickets in advance online to ensure you are able to visit at your preferred time. If you are not able to book tickets online for your preferred time, that likely means we are sold out for that time slot.

Please arrive promptly at your reservation time. Your scheduled time ensures that you have a pleasant experience at WNDR.

Tickets are available for purchase at the door, subject to availability. If a time slot is sold out online, additional tickets will not be available at the door.

WNDR reimagines the traditional museum experience through interactive, immersive experiences from artists, collectives, and studios locally and globally.

WNDR is excited to welcome your family. Please note WNDR is an immersive experience filled with flashing lights, mirrors, loud sounds, visual effects, and other stimulating features. We ask each guest to consider their comfort with these features when deciding if WNDR is a good fit for their family. Guests under the age of 16 must be accompanied by someone age 16 or older at all times in the exhibit, shop, and lounge.

Parking is limited, so we strongly encourage the use of public transportation and ride shares to access all WNDR Museum locations across the country.

WNDR Boston open on February 2, 2024, with more locations to be announced in the future. Stay tuned!
