Took my niece and nephew here and my nephew kept screaming "best day ever" while running around, so I'd say this place is a resounding success! We went at around 9 pm on July 4th and there was still a lot of people but not enough to dampen the experience thankfully. Tickets are easy to grab online and there is ample parking available because it's in the great mall. When we first walked in we were greeted with lots and lots of foam. Foam in the air like its snowing, and foam on the ground. My nephew was so excited and kept running through it excitedly which was cute. We were also told the last show of the day was about to start so we luckily caught it. Loved watching all 3 performers - aerial, juggling, and hoops. From there we just walked around and saw as much as we could. The little rooms they have with different decorations and aesthetics are great for pictures and selfies. There are so many good photo ops that I basically spent an hour being the munchkins personal photographer :) was a great time read more

Saw this event on my feed on Facebook and brought my daughters over. They both absolutely love it! There is so much magic on this exhibit! It was just beautiful! It is so fun to see them laughing and skipping and jumping around. It really melts my heart. Yeah. Lots of photo ops for all of us. The exhibit also had a small acrobatic performance and a show that a transformer changed into the robot from the car. This was not communicated. We figured out when it was too late. Wish these timeline were either on their website for informed when people checked in. The flowers are beautiful to look at but it had the plastic smell. Also there are some rooms that we just can't breathe with so much chemicals..: hence one star off read more

We happened to be in the area and since it is their last weekend we were able to score some discount tickets. My partner had seen their ads on social media and thought it would be an interesting place to take our family to see some neat light displays. Unfortunately, at least for us, it just felt like a cheap knock off TeamLab exhibit. Everything looked/felt cheap. Many of the displays also are worse for wear which I suppose makes sense given they are closing up shop. The circus show was neat, but the transforming robot was basically a Temu Bumblee, just tacky and sad. I would not pay full price for tickets... not even the discount tickets are worth it... read more

Imaginarium: Lemuria was both less and more than I expected. The actual light displays around the 'park' were varies but some were very simple and not very complex. However! Both my date and I had a lot of fun in the random themed rooms because they all featured something different like crystals, or musical light beams, touch(photo) sensitive walls, or mirrors. It was well worth the weekday price of admission and we had a fun night with lots of pictures for memories! Tip: Definitely go after sunset since the Imaginarium is outside and the lights look better at night! read more

If you're in the Bay Area, Imaginarium is a must-see immersive walk-through light festival. With over 5 million lights, it transforms the space into a magical world filled with glowing rose gardens, illuminated forest mazes, enchanted mirror rooms, whimsical photo booths, and vibrant fantasy zones that both kids and adults will enjoy. We spent almost two hours exploring, and every minute was engaging. A helpful tip is to arrive around sundown so you can take photos in the fading light and still experience the full brilliance of the nighttime display. There are also discounted tickets available for families, military members, seniors, and on select weeknights. The kids were completely captivated. It's a memorable experience worth checking out. read more

If you're considering going, I highly recommend you get your tickets now! This place is selfie heaven!! I was blown away by the light/flower/laser/foam installations. So worth the money I actually went twice! I think weekdays are less busy so you can get more private photos and the price is less than weekends. An experience like this in Vegas would cost over $100. Don't miss out! Loved it! read more

Well worth the money! We had such a great time. It was also great seeing so many diverse people and families. The addition of the circus and acts were awesome. Didn't expect it to be so fun. We must have spent a good 2 hours! read more

A friend of mine saw ads for Imaginarium on Instagram and I was surprised it's located at Great Mall of all places. We chose tickets for a Thursday to avoid the crowd and arrived before 7pm. It wasn't dark yet so we took photos of the floral displays near the circus stage at the back. It's like stepping into a fantasy land. The floral tunnel is so pretty! They have a bubble machine adding to the whimsy. The best time to go is at night with everything lit up and twinkling. They do offer wristbands at the exit so you can arrive early then grab dinner or get some shopping done before exploring it all over again when the sun sets. They have typical fair food like hot dogs, popcorn, sodas, etc. near the entrance. What captivated my friends and me was the multiple array of infinity rooms with a kaleidoscope of mirrors, lights, color changing jewel curtains, and even a field of glowing sunflowers! Plenty and I mean PLENTY of Instagram-able backdrops. The visit turned into a photo shoot for one of my friends in the variety of photo boxes. And he says he's not photogenic =) so if you need a new profile pic, this is the place for you ;-) My favorite infinity room was the round color changing jewel curtains. Epic how they played Rihanna's This Is What We Came For while in the room. Free circus acts 3x a night by Cirque Legacy. Schedule is posted on easels throughout the venue. Parking is free! The spot is about 1.5 acres and right next to the Marshalls parking lot at Entry 3. Best time to go IMO is a weekday. Operating Hours: March 12-April 28 Sunday, Tuesday-Thursday 6pm-10pm Friday-Saturday 6pm-11pm Tickets: Kids 3-12: $16+ (2 & under free) Seniors 62+: $16+ General: $21+ Military discount w/ ID: $18+ read more

An Imaginarium video popped up on my instagram and I was intrigued. I thought it would be a nice new and unique thing to do with my bf so I got us tickets for a Saturday. Something came up for me last minute so I tried to reschedule it for Sunday instead, and they were super communicative and helpful despite me asking last minute. I was fortunately able to go the following day instead. When we got through the entrance, we started walking around the edge where they had set up a line of photoshoot boxes, each with their own color scheme. There was a bit of wait to take pictures at the nicer ones. Of course with these types of events, it's always a spot for people trying to get those instagram-worthy pictures. You can't not take those types of pictures when you're here. They also have some interactive boxes like laser maze, a room full of light up punching bags, light up beach balls, etc. In the middle part of the area they have a bunch of light up props and again a lot of places for you to take your pictures. They also had an area where they did circus performances supposedly every hour on the half hour. However, we think the timing was delayed by like 15 or 20 minutes because we got there shortly after the half hour mark and thought we had missed the show since the performers were already giving their final bow. I was expecting a lot from this event but it was not as good as I thought it would be. It's mostly a photoshoot opportunity and...that's about it. I don't mind taking photos but I wish they had more activities to make it worth my while. The circus was one thing, but it really catered mostly to kids' humor. Little details of the decor made it seem a bit tacky as well. Overall, this event is more for families with kids and people wanting pics for the 'gram. I would say Imaginarium is reasonable at $15 but WAY overpriced for the $30 I paid. You end up with great pictures, but the experience itself is very subpar. read more

Pros: - Wow talk about a great social media photo op area! Tons of great art work, colors, and interesting rooms - Kids loved it! There was a lot of space to run around and sensory experience that is great for families and for those going on a date with a sig other - The circus show was fun! Runs every hour starting 7:30p until close and last about 30min. Funny, talented, and more than I expected! Cons: - Pricey. $23 adults and $19 for kids. No swag or food included with price - Probably around a 2 hour event as its mostly for pics and the show - Sundown is late after daylight savings, so its more advantageous to go late since the lights when it gets dark is much better. Younger kids will probably have to sacrifice staying late that night. Overall, I thought it was fun for the whole family and would definitely recommend and come back! read more

This is an outdoor plaice with a bunch of lights for you to take cute photos at. Definitely recommend coming after sunset so you get the most out of the lights. I came in on a Wednesday night and it was a little bit busy. There were a bunch of small rooms with different lighting decorations. Some of the rooms were packed with kids running around so be wary. Some of the other little rooms were decorated with flowers and had a seat to take more photos at. It was a good time but isn't anything special imo. read more

Each booth is very thoughtfully designed and the lighting is beautiful, especially in the dark when the shadows are particularly beautiful! read more

Came here during my family's visit from out of town. We came on a weeknight which is cheaper and less crowded. My toddler had so much fun. We were there for about 1.5 hours -2. It is located in the Great Mall parking lot. Easy to find and of course free parking. We bought same day tickets. Port-a-potties all around. The circle show is eh but the rest of the place was very fun. Ball pit and bubble/snow was a huge hit. read more

What a great experience for kids and adults. I went on a Saturday night and as to be expected it was crowded. I would say go during the week, especially with younger kids, to avoid the lines to wait to take photos. Also, the "circus" act was just okay. We left early the show early so we could try to avoid some of the crowd to look at the lights. Food options are limited. Advise just eating before. Plenty of options nearby since it's located at the mall. read more

Went with a group of friends and had a pretty fun time. Lots of great photo opportunities and some very pretty lights and creatures to see. Def recommend waiting until it gets dark. We went on a Friday night so it was pretty packed, with quite a few lines to wait in for pictures and the different rooms. The circus was better than expected! The acrobats and cube spinner were great! Was disappointed in the clowns performance, definitely more for children. Overall pretty fun night out, however I'm not sure if it was worth the $23 admission. read more

Cute fun place to explore with the kids or on date night with your boo. TONS of photo opportunities so make sure you're dressed cute but warm. The only reason why I give it 3 stars is because I was expecting food all they had was popcorn and nachos and no desserts. Also they had creepy dragons and monsters with demon teeth which ruined my hearts flowers and rainbows vibe. Located in the parking lot of the great mall. Pink porter-potties were cute but dirty. Grateful they had a hand washing station. read more

Just went last night on Wednesday with my mom. Not crowded at all, loved having to not wait in like for anything or share spaces for photo ops. Would recommend weekday for less crowds. Overall had a pleasantly nice time, blew my phone up with photos. Few helpful tips: 1. Any discounted price they offer is only available online. If you ask for the price at the ticket booth they only charge standard pricing there so you might as well book tickets online for best prices. 2. They had 8 or so "interactive" rooms and about half were nice. The mirror rooms were my favorite and you need to take out the camera in your phone to really enjoy how the mirrors expand the small spaces you're really in. 3. Although everything looks better at night, I still would recommend coming while it's daylight/dusk do you can see the difference in vibes, especially at the floral gardens. I was already impressed by how they looked during the day, but at nighttime, when you take photos of the dragon garden with flash, the colors POP, almost neon. It was an incredible surprise. I almost forgot to mention, they had live entertainment as well! If you can get a ticket around $20-$25 (seniors can even get below $20) I think it's quite a nice way to spend an evening. read more

Update, I received my money back. I'm still not happy with the customer service. Can't believe it took that long And the only reason they refunded my money back was because of my Yelp Review. But overall the place is beautiful, Great for pictures. I would recommend to buy tickets there, so you don't have to deal with the online problem I had. read more

This was a cool experience for my family but definitely all made for the photo ops. There's tons of boxes decorated to take pics so my kids had fun posing at all of them.

Tickets are a steep for what they offer, $88 for a four pack but there's a $12 service fee. Buying at the door is supposedly pricier and guarantee of entry. You can enter anytime and can stay for however long you want too. Plenty of parking around the structure. They do bag check and other security measures. You walk around and take pictures with all the different light features. There are several rooms with lasers, interactive displays, mirror room, variety of colored rooms, and more. Some of these rooms are warm and musty. You can feel the dust on the hanging flowers and other decorations and the rooms. The foam/bubble area is cool and kids love it. I hated the smell it gave off and how slippery it can get. The acrobats show was interesting but didn't get to stay and watch as the kids preferred to explore. The structure looks small from the outside but it's a decent size once you're inside. Plenty of walking spaces, even with strollers. Only congestion would be when exploring the small rooms. Best to go after 8 pm when it's darker outside as the lights become more vibrant. read more

Very good experience, much more fun for the little ones; too bad that very little time

Probably great for families with young children. We went with all adults and one pre-teen. It had a lot of rooms that were set up for photos to post on social media. The circus was interesting, although I was a little worried for the performers because it's such a small and low budget set up. Aside from that the women performers and man that was spinning things were impressive. If you're expecting something indoors or an incredible experience, I can't say this delivers. read more

Cancelled more than once last minute and refuses to give refunds. Keep saying to plan another trip, but it is not easy, and costs even more money to have to plan another trip. Extremely inconsiderate of financial situations. read more

We decided to check out the Imaginarium after seeing TikToks about it and it was really... odd. It was made out to seem like it was a walkthrough experience, but it essentially was just a bunch of light up standing figures and flowers in a parking lot with photobooth boxes lining the outer perimeter. The whole place is just photo ops. There's no built out experience. There is a circus show but it was small and seemed out of place. It's like $25 just for Instagram content because the in-person experience is really weird. It doesn't help that the photobooths are all super hot inside and lowkey gross and sticky. Then they have these weird fog machines in some of them that smell really bad. Don't waste your money on this unless you want some great IG content. Because that's all you really get out of it. read more

It's nice but i expected to see some artifacts. It was projected all over the room, which was nice but that's it.

I took my two grandkids to Imaginarium's Lemuria at the Great Mall in Milpitas, and I have to say--it was a truly delightful experience, not just for them, but for me as well. From the moment we stepped inside, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. The entire space was glowing with color and movement--twinkling lights, foggy pathways, magical creatures, and whimsical music. It felt like we'd wandered into one of their storybooks come to life. There were several different themed areas to explore, and each one had its own kind of charm. The kids especially loved the glowing forest and the mirror cave--my granddaughter kept giggling every time she saw herself multiplied into infinity. My grandson couldn't stop pretending the lava floor was real, hopping from side to side like he was on a secret mission. Their laughter was constant, and that, to me, was worth every penny. As a grandparent, I always worry a little about pacing and whether there will be enough places to rest or enough help if needed. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were so attentive and kind. One young woman offered to help me find the quietest route through the exhibit when she noticed I was looking for a bench. Another staff member showed the kids how to use one of the interactive walls and stayed nearby while I caught my breath. There were plenty of little spots where I could sit and watch them explore safely, which made the whole experience much more enjoyable for me. And not once did I feel out of place or too old to be there. It truly felt like a place for all ages. By the time we left, the kids were already asking when we could come back--and truthfully, so was I. It was imaginative, beautifully put together, and above all, joyful. If you're a grandparent looking to create a magical memory with your grandkids, Lemuria is absolutely worth the visit. read more

I took my niece and nephew to Imaginarium's Lemuria at the Great Mall in Milpitas this past weekend, and let me just say--Auntie points were earned. The moment we walked in, their jaws dropped. Lights, colors, fog, glittering trees, glowing tunnels--it was like stepping into a living storybook. I expected something fun, but I wasn't prepared for how beautiful and thoughtfully designed everything was. Each realm had its own vibe, and watching the kids bounce from one to the next like excited little explorers made my day. My nephew couldn't stop talking about the lava room (which looked so real, he actually tried to jump over it like in those living room obstacle courses). My niece, on the other hand, was obsessed with the mirrored cave--she said it felt like she was inside a dream. And honestly? I kind of felt the same. What really impressed me was how helpful and relaxed the staff were. I asked about showtimes and a good route to take with younger kids, and the staff didn't just point--they walked me through a plan and gave a few great tips. One even offered to snap a photo of us in one of the glowing tunnels, which was sweet because it meant I actually got to be in one of the pictures for once. It was interactive without being overwhelming, and there was plenty for me to enjoy too. It felt like the kind of place where adults are encouraged to play right alongside the kids--which I did, no shame. We were there for almost two hours and not once did the kids complain they were bored or tired. That's a win in my book. If you're the "cool aunt" or "fun uncle" type looking to plan something memorable that doesn't involve just watching a movie or hanging at the mall food court--Lemuria is a hit. I'd go again in a heartbeat, especially with the holidays or birthdays coming up. read more

We Loved this exhibition. Go early to see ot all before it gets dark and then a second round after dark! Great value and family fun. read more

The art is very nice and it is a fun walk around. A lot of the bad reviews are about the smell but reality is, it isn't an issue caused by the business, it's an overall issue in Milpitas. If the business chose to set up in a different city, I don't think the Milpitas smell would've been a factor. Some of the decor is not inline or in the same theme. It was kinda random to see dinosaurs are a light park. read more

I'd say eat before you go. The food is way overpriced and for the stuff we ate was not very good, which sort of sets the overall tone of paying a lot for little. Kids rides are overpriced. My granddaughter wanted to go on a roller coaster with her parents, that one ride would've cost them $18. Or three ride bands at $105. This should give you an idea of what this company's priorities are. $$$$$$ read more

Place was amazing, my kids loved every activity they had. Ball pit was the best part.

What an awful experience. They say they are open on maps and yelp. I get my family ready and drive 2 hours just to find no lights. Call multiple times just to speak to a robot and leave a message. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Drove 4 hours and burned the gas for nothing. read more

This place was amazing!! I loved the ball pit there is also a circus show, I definitely recommend because there were amazing photo booths and it's so fun there. And there was a foam machine and I loved it I couldn't have had a lot more fun in my life!! Please go there read more

Went with my adult kids and 3 grandchildren (ages 2-5). We all had an absolute blast. There were several rooms that the kids could play in or just roam through a maze type feature. It wasn't just selfie spaces, although there were a lot of those, too. The circus was perfect for little kids. I would defintely recommend if you have small children. read more
