Mary and Don Ashton hold hands as they seek to withstand the force of hurricane-velocity winds. Betty and Robert Black embark on a world tour, viewing landscapes, structures and other features in countries around the globe.

The fact is that the Ashtons are trying to maintain their balance while standing safely in a room, and the Blacks aren’t actually traveling anywhere. These folks are enjoying virtual experiences in Branson, Missouri, at WonderWorks, which is billed as “an amusement park for the mind.” The attraction is one of a growing number of places around the country that combine entertainment with education and offer what recently has come to be referred to as “edutainment.”
