The Oculus is getting into the holiday spirit with a new activation called Christmas House NYC. Visitors can walk through more than a dozen themed rooms featuring snow, holiday movies, karaoke and more.
This all-ages walk-through experience opens on November 24 with tickets available through January 2. It will be the flagship location for Christmas House, which operates across the globe, including sister locations in Long Island, New Jersey and Philadelphia locations this year.
RECOMMENDED: You can skate inside the Oculus for the first time ever this winter
Christmas House NYC sets itself apart with meticulously detailed environments, including sounds, smells and sights.
Interactive activities include The Snowball Fight Room, where visitors can revel in snowfall and even toss snowballs. Inside the Snow Lodge Movie Theater, Elf plays on repeat on a 25-foot screen. The Blockbuster Video Room stirs nostalgia with its lifelike movie counter and VHS tapes. Other rooms include the Christmas Karaoke Party Room and The Holidays Inn Hotel, all decorated in Christmas splendor.
Each space offers engaging activities including trivia contests and hidden surprises waiting to be discovered. Christmas House NYC promises all the fun of a drive-through light show but indoors and out of the cold.
