Cute but way too overpriced gor this very short and very small museum.I felt ripped off by the end of it.I don’t recommend.If no photos taken you can go through the whole thing in 15 minutes
The reviews here warned me that this was an average experience, but I really love Yayoi Kusama and went anyway. This was not my favorite Yayoi infinity room. The museum is fun, but way overpriced. Maybe for $20/$25 but at double that for a one hour experience, I think you can pass
Kept seeing ads on social media so we decided to check it out. My oldest son and I went to Japan in beginning of June 2023 and experienced Team Labs Tokyo so it basically set the bar for us when it comes to interactive/art experiences/exhibits. There are some cool parts of this exhibit that were cool and others fell short. The bathroom was a unique experience as well. However, it only took about 1-1.5 hours to complete and it wasn't that busy when we went, but wanted to enjoy each exhibit.
Please pass on this. In this day and age of digital awe and virtual reality, wndr simply does not deliver. Most exhibits deserve in a children’s museum. My towns fair delivers better “wonder” than their main exhibit. Most if not all exhibits don’t explain what we have to do, or what we are seeing. You better get down to a very dumb level here to be entertained. Please pass on this.
Yes this is mostly a selfie spot, not the Art Institute. Whether that's valuable is up to you. It is honestly too expensive. You can fly through in under an hour depending on how long it takes you to setup photos and how crowded it is. But if you're like me and you have a date who loves selfies, it's more than worth admission.
The museum really does have a concept. It is an art museum designed for photography. You should be interacting with the museum with your cameraphone at a minimum. Think if the Art Institute not only let you pose with the art, but also set up the art pieces so if you stand at certain angles it makes interesting collages. Now you're getting a sense of what WNDR Museum really is, and how you should interact with it. I took a date and we honestly did a double-take once we realized the concept, and immediately booked tickets to "do it right" with a proper camera in hand. I wish they'd make this more clear to guests.
Yes, there are some interactive exhibits. And sometimes the art exhibits are truly awesome and unique. But if you're not taking photos or selfies you've missed out. I guarantee you will pass some social media personality with a professional photographer. They're who this museum is really built for. They're why the ticket price is so high.
Families seem to think that "museum" means "for kids". But honestly selfies aren't as fashionable with younger kids as they were for millennial girls (who are old now!). If your kids are old enough that you can split up, so they can explore and you can take photos of your spouse, that's fine. But if you're expecting to herd a crowd of kids between exhibits it will not be a good time.
Bring a camera! This is an art museum designed for taking photos! If you don't like the process of lining up cool photos, you won't enjoy this trip. Photographers, and people with cute partners who like taking photos, get in.
It is criminal that they charge $32 ($39 with booking fee) for WNDR. As a solo traveller, I felt more like I was taking up space in the background of Instagram photos (not helped by one working saying “we’ll wait for that person (me) to leave” when taking a photo of a couple) then enjoying any sort of exhibit related to art. I was through the museum in just over 30 minutes, despite deliberately taking my time, even though I though I remembered it being advertised as taking an hour which is part of why I went.
