The virtual experience at the end of exhibit was outstanding!

The Pompeii experience was amazing, really well done. Just a couple of things the VR room at tge end we were nog aware it was part of the experience, glad we did not miss it, it was so amazing too. Signage would certainly help that it is the final event, overall a big thumbs up. I have been to Pompeii twice and this experience is well worth it.

It was a good exhibit learned a lot and the VR was trippy but good.

It was amazing, especially the virtual reality experience!

Overall, this was a great experience and very well presented! Notably the immersive videos walls and the VR walkabout were OUTSTANDING!! This exhibit was worth every penny!!!

VR was the best

Amazing Experience I love it

The information was interesting and the period piece set up, helped you get a real feel for life in the first century. But the virtual reality part just blew me away! You really felt like you were looking either down on the city or into the crator of the volcano. Amazing experience!

Really enjoyed the virtual reality and immersive parts.

Amazing experience. Loved it and would highly recommend it 👌
