Nice glass but overpriced.  Staff is eh.  Go to artifax for glass, it's worth the trip.

I don't particularly care for the smoking paraphernalia sold in this place, I'm just glad to buy Crumb comics here ^_^

Where DO college kids get those tacky glow in the dark posters that are relics of a decade long past? Where can I go to get a bumper sticker that proclaims to the 5.0 that I have tuned in, turned on and dropped out? Where can I pay way too much for a piece of hand-blown glass or baby laxatives?That would be Wonderland.Located, strangely enough, in a very business-heavy district of Philly, Wonderland caters to over-priveleged, middle-class neo-hippies, which does not interest me in the least. But some of their pieces are really pretty.

Ok, this is going to sound very similar to my review of "Atomic City Comics."I'm not a pot-head, but if I were, I would shop at Wonderland.  My pot-head friend dragged me in here one day, and from what I could tell, they have a large selection pipes, bongs, and other TOBACCO smoking paraphernalia.It's got everything you would expect from a head shop: 1) Phish stickers, check2) Incense, check3) Hemp necklaces, check4) Hippies, check5) Framed Justin Timberlake picture, check..what? yeah they have that too.

After you get past the touristy, teenager attractiveness of this place, they get the job done. Wonderland has a good selection of clove cigarettes, natural cigarettes, and whatever else you're into. What's more, the staff is helpful to people of all levels in whatever it is they're into.Like all head shops, Wonderland peddles cliche stuff, and reaks of Nag Champa. But that's life. They're open till 6 on Sundays which is pretty snazzy, and they treat their customers with respect. Whatever you burn, get your burnables here... they know the time.

WAYYYY OVERPRICED! They have a few very unique and original pieces, which are very beautiful. But compared to other shops piece prices, Wonderland steals you of your money...

I've been there a few times since the first review, and now I decided that they give really bad vibes. They watch over you like hawks while your trying to browse. It's very uncomfortable and awkward. Had a lot of nice glass and huge selection of pipes/bowls/stems etc. Big name brands such as…

I know an awful lot of glass blowers. so my opinion might be fairly biased. But I find the pieces here to be no where near worth the price that you pay for them. The pieces at Artifax are much better, but you'd be better off just going to Philly Glass Works or Hot Soup, and making a new friend.This place definitely caters to the people who just don't know any better. and you instantly tell just by walking in and taking a look at the glow in the dark posters their selling.They have a great selection of clove cigarettes though.

I love Wonderland, simply put. They can be slightly intimidating when you walk in, I admit -- but they're basically trying to keep their business from going under due to kids acting like idiots, so I understand. Make sure you have your ID on hand when you come through the door, because they will ask for it right away to be sure you're 18. They also have signs everywhere telling you to watch what you say, and that any mention of any "illegal" activities will get your butt kicked out the door.But on to more pleasant things. Their staff, once you get talking to them, is super friendly and really knowledgeable about their stuff. They have a huge variety of stuff in a tiny little store that changes constantly. Upstairs you'll find metal, wood, and ceramic pipes, as well as some of their more expensive glass bowls and bubblers. There are also hookahs and bongs of every type [glass, plastic, ceramic, whatever] available. And as previously mentioned, the staff will be right there to talk you through your purchase so you get exactly what's right for you. They've definitely changed my mind several times, and I've been thankful for it.Downstairs are most of their glass pipes along with random little accessories -- bags, incense, t-shirts, posters, etc. Again, somebody will likely be down there to help you and take things out of the case for you if needed.My only real complaint about the place is that they're a bit expensive, but quite honestly, in my experience, this is one place where you absolutely get what you pay for. If you throw some money down for a more expensive piece, you're going to get something that is durable, easy to clean, and lasts you a really long time. Same goes vice versa. :)

I ended up walking into Wonderland a few days ago because I was early for a change (miracles really do happen!) and had a few minutes to kill before a lunch date.  This place really took me back to my freshman year in college when I smoked a lot of clove ciggies, wore long skirts and was totally into the Grateful Dead. In short, it was a little jaunt down memory lane.If you are into the partaking of natural substances, then this is a great place to visit for glassware. Oh wait, those are for tobacco smokers only. So, shall I say that if you are a tobacco smoker who prefers to smoke yours out of a glass pipe instead of a regular old cigarette, then this is the place for you. The guy behind the counter was super nice. The next time I need to buy someone a present or cloves, I'll go here for sure.

At first glance from the street Wonderland doesn't look like a tobacco shop. My friends and I decided to go inside and were suprised to see that it was a head shop. They card you the second you walk in the door, dont even bother going in if you're not of age. You might as well not put it away either because they card you when you get down to the second floor also.They had a pretty decent selection of pipes and bongs, but as everyone is saying, they are a tad overpriced and a little rude. If I needed to, I would visit Wonderland again, but I'd rather find somewhere else

Oh, how I miss the Blinky patch! Wonderland don't disappoint me, please get more in!Wonderland is one of those retro-hippie hot spots that is generally filled with giggling college students who are tying to hide the fact that they smoke week and burn incense in their college dorm. They have two floors separated by the discrete and the not-so-discrete. On one end you have a wide variety of incense sticks and cones, some tie-dye t-shirts bearing the faces of legends like Bob Marley and Jerry Garcia, books of stickers and patches you used to get on South Street back in the 90s, boxes, hemp, and some cool glass and recycled jewelry. Then you have the other end filled with a wide selection of pipes, bongs, and the usual paraphernalia. In not so many words Wonderland is the new Imagine after Imagine caved to the curse of South Street.When you pass by you'll notice the new pac-man board design on the front upstairs window designed, I can only imagine, to keep naysayers and the local authorities from peering in. The board is cool, so I'm not complaining. Price-wise, Wonderland can sometimes go beyond the price-range of  true hippies on some things, but for all those wannabes with credit cards willing to spend $30 on a shirt go right ahead. Me, though, most of the jewelry items I take interest in I make and sell myself for a fraction of what they charge. They are great, though, when I can't seem to find the right lb hemp or when I'm decorating something with stickers! Make sure you check the bargain bins on the floor too, and the selection of Grateful Dead merchandise is larger than anywhere in the center city Philadelphia neighborhood that I have seen.
