  • Bask in the Sun

    Bask in the Sun

    Take a quick detour to the Sun to witness solar flares 30 times larger than Earth. Hear the Sun's vibrations. Feel the energy that powers all life on our planet, captured directly from NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the satellite responsible for making the closest-ever pass to the Sun and still operational today.

  • Witness a Spectacular Explosion

    Witness a Spectacular Explosion

    Watch a red supergiant star called Betelgeuse erupt in a supernova, its dying blast recycling star stuff into cosmic building blocks — the raw material for stars, planets, and maybe life.

  • Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

    Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

    Witness the cosmos through the eyes of the world's most powerful telescopes in an experience built from real scientific data. Step onto the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory as they reveal the universe's greatest mysteries.

FAQs Got questions? We've got answers

What can I expect from the event?

Starstruck is a 40-minute, shared virtual reality experience in which groups of up to six guests explore the cosmos together, guided by a virtual host named Astro — from the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory to stars, exoplanets, the Pillars of Creation, and a black hole. Developed by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Fever, with Smithsonian Enterprises overseeing the collaboration.

How long does the experience last?

The core experience lasts approximately 40 minutes. Guests should plan for additional time for check-in, orientation, and headset fitting.

Is there a dress code?

We recommend dressing comfortably and wearing suitable shoes. Please refrain from wearing hats or caps because you will wear a VR headset. For everyone's safety, backpacks and handbags must be stored in the lockers provided on-site (free of charge).

What is the recommended age for children to attend?

Due to the fit of the headset and for the safety of all participants, children aged 10+ are welcome. All children aged 10–17 must be accompanied by an adult.

Is there parking available?

Yes, complimentary self-parking is available on-site at York Street Yards, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Is there Virtual Reality?

Yes, the experience uses wireless, free-roam VR headsets with real-time motion tracking. Guests' physical movements, gestures, and positioning are mirrored in the virtual environment, enabling natural, intuitive exploration. The system supports shared experiences with up to 6 participants, and includes interactive elements that allow guests to engage directly with the environment and narrative.

Will there be strobe lights?

No. This experience does not include strobe lighting effects.

Can virtual reality be uncomfortable or unsuitable for some guests?

Virtual reality is designed to be immersive and enjoyable, but some individuals may experience discomfort while using a VR headset. The experience may not be suitable for guests with claustrophobia or vertigo. Guests prone to motion sickness may experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or drowsiness during or after the experience.

Can guests with heart conditions or epilepsy participate?

We strongly recommend that guests with heart conditions, epilepsy, or seizure-related conditions consult a physician before participating. Immersive virtual reality experiences may increase the risk of adverse health effects for some individuals.

Is the experience safe during pregnancy?

Some individuals may be more susceptible to dizziness or fainting during pregnancy, and the experience takes place on a hard walking surface throughout. For these reasons, we do not generally recommend the experience for pregnant guests; guests who choose to participate should consult their doctor beforehand.

Does the experience accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility aids?

Yes, during headset setup, guests can select either a "Wheelchair" or "Extra Space" option to personalize the experience for their mobility needs. The "Wheelchair" option optimizes the experience for seated viewing. The "Extra Space" option provides additional room around a guest's avatar to accommodate mobility aids such as canes, walkers, crutches, and similar devices.

Is it possible to wear eyeglasses?

Yes, our staff are on hand to show guests how to position the headset correctly. Note to any visitors wearing prescription glasses: we advise using standard, single focus glasses, as other types such as varifocals may lower the overall viewing experience.
