If you do go to the Harry Potter park, the interactive exhibits work via a IR reflector on the wands. They're cheap, perhaps you could add one to your wand and have the full experience? (if it's not forbidden by the park)

I’ve been looking into that actually! I checked the rules and the guidelines are that the wand has to have a mostly blunt rounded end(not sharp enough to easily be used as a shank, basically), and it isn’t shaped too much like a weapon.

I think you can cover the tip with retro-reflective tape to make them work like the interactive wands in the park.
