- Very informative recommended highly
- This is the 3rd Immersive event that I have experienced and I enjoy them all
- Great exhibit. Even my picky husband enjoyed himself :)
- Great experience
- Well organized, excellent program!
- As a 66 year old’s first time with VR, I was grateful for the walking sticks! Thank you! Great experience!
- A very cool immersive experience of our universe. A chance to astral project to the stars!
- Very interesting and amazing to be so close to the sun, Milky Way etc
- Very well run and enjoyable. I appreciated the availability of a walking stick for added safety. The two restrooms are nice but just having two is marginal. Suggestion: change the door knobs so they indicate to those in the hallway that the door is locked.
- Awesome! So much was fascinating but just seeing the close-up of the sun looking like a big, yellow VanGogh painting was amazing, and it only got better after that.
- Once you get used to the headset, it was enormous fun. Interesting, visually stimulating and very educational. I enjoyed it enormously.
- Great experience! Very life like, easy to do, not complicated, no real wait to get in. Worth every penny.
- Had a great time and would love more content
- Loads of fun. Well worth the time and price. Staff in DC was great.
- It was fun experiencing science in VR setting
