Get ready to journey through the cosmos, right here in New York City. The highly-anticipated "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience" has officially opened at Eclipso New York at 55 West 57th Street for a strictly limited engagement. Based on the Primetime Emmy Award-winning immersive series by Felix & Paul Studios, this groundbreaking exhibit gives you the rare chance to step into the boots of an astronaut and experience life aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
While fewer than 300 people have actually traveled to the ISS over the past two decades, this ambitious free-roaming virtual reality experience opens the hatches to everyone. Developed by PHI Studio, Infinity Experiences and Felix & Paul Studios, the production has already captivated over 500,000 visitors worldwide since its 2021 global debut. Now, it brings its acclaimed blend of culture, innovation and wonder to the heart of Manhattan.
At the core of the exhibit is the largest cinematic production ever filmed in space. Shot over three years using custom-engineered, low-orbit camera systems the footage captures the raw, authentic reality of space travel. Utilizing cutting-edge 3D 360° VR technology, you'll be transported nearly 250 miles above Earth. You're free to roam the virtual environment, where you'll walk alongside real astronauts, witness thrilling spacewalks and listen to interviews about life in zero gravity.
There's an emotional aspect to the exhibit as well. If you've ever heard about the "overview effect"—the life-altering sensation of awe that astronauts describe when looking back at our planet from the loneliness of space—you'll get a chance to experience it.
Following successful runs in global cities like London, Shanghai, Singapore, Houston and Los Angeles, New York is the latest destination to host this must-see event. Tickets start at $42 for children and $56 for adults. Book your journey to the stars at spaceexplorersexperience.com.
