If you're looking something new to do, maybe a date night idea, or if you want to channel your nerdy side, this is where you need to come! I saw this place pop on social media from all of the Houston influencers. I love science and NASA so I made it a point to make it here while it's still in Houston. Reservations are required and evening and weekend spots fill up quickly. Parking was easy on either the street or parking lot. The staff was friendly and informative. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're about to be walk into a space station. We waited about 10-15 minutes after our scheduled time to actual get into the experience. You have to go into an introduction room and then to the room where you get your VR equipment. They are cleaned thoroughly between use and are very comfortable. I had a few instances were the screen would go blank but it recalibrates quickly. The cool part is, you're group is color coded in the VR world so you can stick close together. You are free to roam about the room which in the VR world is the space station. It's interactive and there's so much to see. It's so neat how organized it is and if you follow instructions, you won't run into people. After the VR part, there's a few other artistic exhibits which were really cool and made for great pic opportunities. This was so cool, I might give it another go before it's gone! read more

Wow!! What a wonderful experience. Brought my adult son with me. We thoroughly enjoyed this 'walk through space' & the interactive aspect of the journey. I really felt like I was in the shoes of an astronaut. We did have difficulty finding the entrance at first, but there was no issue getting through even though we were a bit late for our time slot. There is a quick briefing while you're in line & then you go into a room where you get to hear astronauts talk about their experiences. The VR portion is next and there is another briefing where the person walks you through how to use the VR headset. If you wear glasses, but have the option to do contacts, I would recommend wearing your contact to make it easier to wear the headset. In hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have worn my glasses. My other observation, which the venue doesn't have much control over, is- I was In a group where a woman brought about 5 kids (not all looked like they were the required age for the venue). As a mother, I have nothing against kids, but this particular group of kids were talking very loudly the WHOLE time & it made it difficult to hear some of the audio portions of the headset. Really wish the adult would have asked them to keep it down so as not to ruin the experience for others. Luckily, they were slightly ahead of us, so they exited a few minutes before us. The last part of the experience is in a chair, but with VR headset & then there are some cool photo op areas as you walk out. Overall, would highly recommended, especially if you're a space lover. read more

I came here with my boyfriend and parents, and it was such an awesome experience. If you're a little nerdy like me or are just curious about how things look like in space and inside a shuttle, I HIGHLY recommend! It was such a cool experience to see how things look like in space and see snippets of life for a day-to-day life for astronauts inside the shuttle. This entire experience was about an hour and a half long. There was a bit of a wait but we did come on a Saturday evening, so that was expected. One of the staff members told us that the wait would be worth it and let me tell you... it was 100% WORTH IT! This is a great experience to do either on a date night or even as a family outing. The effects and everything are so cool. It was my first time truly experiencing a VR experience and getting to physically walk around, so I enjoyed it so much! read more

Ok. I'm going to give my honest opinion of this experience. Upon entry you have about a 1/2 hr wait in line before your schedule time. There's an instructional how to video that plays throughout. After your wait you enter a briefing room(quick audio with detail's and backstory on the concept). Following you are then lead down a ramp to your first stop which is an explanation of how to use the headset. I must warn you that the headset is a bit heavy and can add pressure to your eyes and nasal area. The last step is just being digitally linked to your party, so that you and your friends can still locate one another while exploring. Now for the main event: You are first left to explore space via the headset and preloaded videos that come along with the experience. You have to be careful not to walk backwards or bump into anyone. After about 30 min of walking around wearing your headset you get to sit down and wear your headset. The final room is just a place to sit and watch the last video of astronauts repairing the ship. There isn't much that you can do outside of watching the videos. I assumed this would be more of an interactive experience or at least videos that really wow you but it feel short. Sadly for $60 you are subjected to 360 videos of space and nothing more. Not even an asteroid flying around or a rocking cruising by. I'd say save your money and watch space exploration videos on YouTube or just go to natural science museum to visit the planetarium. read more

I'm always impressed to see new implementations of VR and what they were able to do with just Oculus's was pretty neat. It's basically a holodeck of a wireframe of the ISS and you stop at certain spots demarcated by floating orbs to get a more high resolution immersive vignette of life on the ISS. The experience is divided into 4 chapters of 7 minutes each, so you only have 7 minutes to consume as many vignettes as you can/want to before the space station floats away and floats back with a new set of immersive videos. Many of the videos are really cute, like astronauts prepping food and tossing them to each other through zero gravity. For those prone to motion sickness, I would be wary of any space-walk type videos as you'll essentially orbit the earth and it might make you slightly queasy. That said they only last for a few seconds. The way they identify others in your group vs other strangers is pretty neat as it allows you to regroup with your friends and high five them as you wander about the station, and avoid bumping into others. The publicity photos are a bit misleading as it's nearly impossible to depict the VR experience so most of the photos are of the weird digital art experience or the Infinity Hall of Mirrors which are just essentially diversions on the way out of the event. Don't be fooled! This is for enthusiasts of VR and Space Exploration. No high octane action or aliens here. read more

If it wasn't for the spring break 20% off deal, I probably wouldn't have gone. I personally would not pay over $100 not including tax for me and my significant other. It was a total of $84 for both me and my boyfriend and that was pretty reasonable. It was around $45 dollars each during the weekday and in addition to the 20% off deal they had, so it was cheaper. On the weekends, it's more expensive. Unfortunately we waited in line longer than we were there. Supposedly it's a one hour viewing, but it's so hard to go through every segment without fearing of running into someone in the large space that it is. The day that we went was a thursday night and it was PACKED. We waited in line for an hour, and our time spent was 47 minutes. You pick a reservation time, but don't be fooled. That reservation time is really a strong wait time in line before you can really enter the other room. So just a heads up. Our reservation time was 9pm but we really didn't go in until 10pm and left at 10:47pm. Yikes. Overall, this VR experience was honestly pretty cool. If you love space and pretty much the story behind NASA, then this is the place for you. It honestly felt like you were there. As if the astronauts were having conversations with you. There was one view where they were having lunch and you were there sitting with them just hearing and seeing them talk to each other about their day. I wish I had more time to view everything. When you have the headset on, you walk around and touch the orbs. Once you touch the orbs, it opens up a storyline and its about a minute each or more depending on what they recorded. I guess thats how they get you to come back. If you're looking for something to do, I would prefer this over the Van Gogh immersive museum. You at least get your money's worth at this experience and its quite fun. If you can get past the steep cost. read more

Amazing This was such a great experience I will be going and taking anyone I can I was amazed by the views out side the shuttle It's a must see read more

In full transparency this experience was more than I was wanting to pay. We were able to use a 20% off spring break code but it is normally about $52 a ticket. After going I understand why it is a bit pricier because they have nice equipment that actually delivers great visibility and audio. The first 35 minutes of the experience was the VR portion. I was very impressed with how real it felt. In the past when I use VR goggles it was pixelated and not some thing I would want to do for 35 minutes. This experience was totally different. After the VR they have a visual walk-through with a huge ceiling tv screen and a mirrored hallway walk through. I had a great experience and would love to bring some friends but probably will not pay that same price again. read more

This exceeded my expectations. I wasn't sure how I would do with VR (sensory wise), but for the most part I was good. My friend works for NASA and was able to use an employee discount code so our tickets were 20% off. Our group had 6 people and we reserved for 7:45pm. When we got there, the line was so long. It probably took about 20 minutes or so before we were able to enter into the exhibit. When we were able to enter, we listened to the intro audio and then proceeded to the headsets. The guy explained how to put the headset on and adjust it, but he didn't really explain what to expect once the headset was on. It took awhile before I finally felt comfortable "exploring" all the areas of the digital ISS. They do explain that there are so many orbs (videos) that you won't be able to get to them all in 35 minutes. Some random guy bumped into me and I would sometimes get separated from the group, but having the color coded avatars to find each other was helpful. But when you were inside an orb, you were immersed in it and you had to be careful to not move around too much since you can't see other people's avatars near by. Some of my friends said that some of the orbs were interactive. My friend said she was able to grab a notebook that was floating around. I missed that orb, but wish I would have known about it. It really does feel like you're up in space on the ISS. At one point, I was in a room with a bunch of astronauts and it felt like one of them was standing right on top of me lol. It's crazy. As we proceeded to our chairs (which light up to let you know which one to sit in), I got a notice that the battery on my headset was low. I was hoping it would make it, but of course about 5 minutes into the seated portion, the video completely stopped. Within 30 seconds, an employee was right in front of me with a replacement headset so I didn't miss much of the video. I'm glad the employees are paying attention to that stuff since everything is timed. At the end, the strobe lights bothered my senses so I had to skip that room, but the other rooms were cool. Definitely some great photo ops on the way out. This was so much cooler than the Van Gogh "Immersive" Experience. That was just projections on walls, not VR. This was totally immersive and so cool! read more

Five out of five! I took my son to this experience for a birthday gift. It was more than I imagined it would be. When you arrive you walk into another dimension, or what feels like a completely different world. Very futuristic and in line with the experience. The staff was amazing. From the moment we walked in we were given information to properly enjoy the experience. The headsets were in sanitation stations. The absolute best part of this experience was going with my son. Because you have a headset on you only see your group based on a color! My son and I explored each station together holding hands. It provided perspective to how we are all connected. It was almost a spiritual experience. It was so enlightening and engaging I went back on the final day. Excellent experience. If it comes back, I will definitely go again. read more

I really wanted to give them one star, but the person who booked this event didn't read what this was. This is basically a glorified space museum with absolutely no interactive activities. So you can imagine the disappointment on everyones faces when we realize we were not going to be having fun shooting for survival lol. We tried to make the best of it. Honestly, the two staff members who talked to us to introduce everything hyped it up way too much. I can say the graphics were cool, but it's just old videos of space missions. That's it... Oh, and you must wear a mask. We all left out of there wanting a refund and highly disappointed. We had a party of 7... 3 kids at $17 each and 4 adults $45 each with the service fee and tax, it came to $275 . To me, it was definitely overpriced for what it really was. We paid all that money to have 0 real fun lol. The last two rooms you walk thru leaving out were confusing and I not sure of their purpose. Maybe that was them trying to add some fun lol idk read more

Really fun and unique experience. There were some tech hiccups but they quickly fixed with our headsets. It's basically a giant room where you walk around with your group and learn about various topics in space. I can see why it's a timed event though cause it can get crowded with all the people walking around. Overall, fun event. Tickets are pricey but it's a unique experience! read more

The Infinite Experience - Entrance - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The marketing for this experience is quite dramatic and over-hyped (I mean..."The Infinite"?!) but at its most basic it really is a VR exploration of the International Space Station, which is pretty dang cool! At $36/pp for roughly 45 minutes of VR it is not cheap. It took a minute or two to figure out how to explore effectively and avoid running into people, so I wish there was just a tad more time to explore the ISS as its pretty difficult to see everything in one visit. Perhaps that's what they intended so as to draw return visits. Overall I would recommend as the images are beautiful, it's an accessible activity, and has a cool factor for anyone who is super into emerging tech. read more

The virtual simulation is fun and interactive. You also learn so much about astronaut life in space. Amazing views of space that makes you feel like you really are looking down at earth from a space ship. I would definitely do this again! read more

We were there today and It's epic. We take the advantage of the last day sale since regular price starts tomorrow. We got it for $29. The price is different with time so when you buy it online you can see it. Such a wonderful experience to become an astronaut for 30min I love every minute of it. Going from wow to amazing to epic experience . Strongly recommended this event to everyone. Must do before it goes away read more

I'm not sure how much time is left on The Infinite (see what I did there? Haha!) but I suggest you get your tickets now if you want an extremely cool Virtual Reality experience. I had a credit in my Fever app wallet that I wanted to use and was browsing various pop-up exhibits when I saw this one. I'm into VR and my aunt has been into anything space-related her whole life. I knew this was the one I'd spend my credit on. If I didn't have the credit, the tickets would've been a lot more expensive. I suggest finding a coupon, if possible. I'm not sure I would have paid full price. My greatest tip would be to GET THERE EARLY. We are not early birds by any means, but so far we've benefited from attending these pop-ups as the first in, first out. We attended on a Saturday morning when there was plenty of parking along the street. We parked directly across the street from the entrance and had an easy walk to the front of the stairs. There was a wait because the check-in computers weren't working but as soon as that was fixed we were ushered into another area where we were given some instructions and, eventually, our goggles. Since you have your goggles on, you have no idea what it looks like inside until you're done. It was so odd and a little funny to see a throng of people feeling their way around a large empty space. The VR itself was amazing. I've never been to such a large-scale VR event and now I want the full Ready Player One set up. It was fun, educational, and super interesting. I wish we had more time. There's no way to see every video available because there are too many of them. I'd love to be able to take my time, but there's definitely a bit of a factory feel to the exhibit. They want to get you in and out efficiently, and as such, there are various timed phases that you go through until you're done. We were sad to leave. Of the videos I did see, the one that stuck with me the most is the astronauts playing ball. You get to be a fly on the wall as the ball floats by you and the astronauts move around the craft. Another memorable experience was stepping outside of the ISS and watching work on the outside of the space station while it orbits the earth. I get chills just thinking about it. The gift shop has limited swag and I'm not really into that kind of stuff, but know that it's there at the end of the experience. Highly recommend and I would see it again. I think there's some version of this exhibit for personal VR headsets, which makes me want to own an Oculus even more! read more

They sucked, all I seen was white people. Don't ever go here. I am Asian, and they called me chink and said wing Wong. they need to get better workers because they were extremely immature & I felt disrespected and uncomfortable during my whole experience. read more

We wanted something to do that we couldn't do back in DFW, so I did a little googling and found this place. $56 per adults, and $12 or so for kids up til 12. The price alone almost made me be like nahhh, but my husband really likes all things space so why not. It's located in the Arts District. You reserve a time online. You go in, sign a waiver, watch a video, and then listen to the speaker lady tell you something that I don't remember. Then you get your VR headsets. Now, you just walk around. People look like star people. You go with your party with a room full of people. Well, not exactly full of people.. but there's people. Your party is a certain color and the other people are another color, so you know not to bump into them. It's not very interactive except you got these dragon ball looking things you touch to bring up a video.. I guess it's a video. I thought when you touch one of the sphere dragon ball thingies, that it brings it up for your whole party.. it doesn't. So you can easily miss things if you don't stay with your party. Which I think it is a set up to have you go back again, honestly..lol. You only get an hour. Anyway, so you click on the dragon balls and different videos come up. You may see an astronaut do her gardening, or them talking about how life will be with covid once returning. Or you might find yourself surrounded by all the constellations or on top of earth looking at the sun. It's really cool. Especially if you're into space. Avoid if you are sensitive to flashing lights. read more

Such an interactive and immersive experience. I've never been to anything like this before! It was amazing getting to see 360 views of the space station, as well as watching documentaries of the every day lives of the astronauts. Some parts of the experience felt like a video game, but still fun nonetheless. It's amazing how they set up everything to run so seamlessly. When you first walk in, you get to an area to pick up your sanitized VR goggles. Then you line up according to your ticket time and start your tour. You and your group are scanned together so you're able to see where they are during the experience. The staff did an amazing job helping everyone fit into their VR headset and helped trouble shoot any technical difficulties right away. It was my first time using VR, and it took a bit getting used to. Initially when the tour started, I was experiencing a bit of nausea and motion sickness, but I adapted relatively quickly. I felt like my video was a bit blurry, but it was good enough to enjoy the experience. After you're done with the VR section, you walk into an area with 3 different digital art installations where you can stay as long as you please to enjoy the art and take some pictures. From start to finish I probably spent 1 hr here. Everything went smoothly and efficiently. read more

A very unique, ~out of this world~ experience! I am glad I was able to catch this on the last weekend it is in town because it really was a sight to behold. I have done VR at home a few times, but this was something else completely; using VR to tour you through the ISS with short educational videos to teach you about life in space and aboard the ISS. The video quality is insane and if it weren't for your feet being firmly planted on the ground, you would almost believe you were really there. It does take some getting used to; once you put on the headset and are told to walk forward, it is a little freaky because you are convinced you are going to trip since you can't see your feet, but just take small shuffle steps and it is fine. Only some minor bumps and collisions, which is impressive given a whole group of people are wearing these headsets and exploring their own little worlds. The exploratory experience lasts about 30min and has a 10ish min video at the end that you watch seated (yes, you sit while in a VR headset, and it is easy to do!). All in all, it was very cool and I will keep my eye out for similar types of experiences when they come to Houston in the future. Only drawback was the price tag - about $50/person with no promo code for a less than 1 hour thing. Certainly was very fun, but it is a bit cost prohibitive. read more

It was a really fun & unique experience especially hearing & seeing the astronauts of the upcoming Artemis II trip to the moon during the experience like you were right in there with them ... You'd look up & down and feel like you were floating in the spacecraft - it was amazing to see all the intricate details in and outside of the space craft when you were "in space". read more

Would be great if they had adult only showings. All the kids talking and hollering significantly diminishes the experience. :(

I went this week and was honestly blown away by the images but very disappointed by the amount of time permitted. By the time I had got the headset comfortable and was internally calibrated to the process it was time to leave. The whole thing was supposed to be about an hour, it was 45 mins from front door entry to final art installation (I have timestamped images) and that included a pee break, waiver reading and signing, a few minutes waiting in a loading area, the training for the helmet, the synching of the group helmets and a 7 minute video. I watched 5 ISS videos and stood outside the take in the Earth from above a few times then I was led to the doorway of doom. I wouldn't have minded so much if it was a packed event but when I looked back there were maybe 6 other people in the space and I'm sure some of those were staff - a longer session at quieter times would have been nice. My son's helmet was also very glitchy but he was too timid to say anything until we were in the car on the way home. I had much higher hopes and was so looking forward to just taking in the beauty of the planet from above, but got 5 minutes at most. We bought the expensive time-slot for myself and 2 kids @ $160, so unfortunately, in its present state, I won't be recommending this to anyone. Not so much Space Explorers, more Space Glancers... read more

This was such an incredible experience. Definitely recommend it. There was a lot to it in terms of information and stuff to see. If you are nauseous from VR this isn't too bad in terms of movement but just be aware there is some that can make you a little dizzy. Other than that I highly recommend this experience read more

Based on the advertising I was expecting more. Quality-wise, the VR headsets left a lot to be desired. The headsets were a bit clunky, and had multiple issues. I could hear other patrons having headset issues as well. The ear pieces were loose with no ability to tighten them. You could easily hear other patrons if they were talking. I attended the first show of the morning and my headset ran out of power midway through the experience. I felt the space was a bit crowded. People did walk into each other despite the visual cues. So, the VR space was too small, or there were a few too many people. Halfway through the VR time (at 15 mins.) you are required to sit down to finish the presentation. This allows another group of people to come into the room and begin their VR walk-around experience. I was not a fan of the time pressure to see as much as I could in 15 minutes. In fact, we were told we would not be able to see everything. I paid for the full experience, so I expected to see the full experience. After the VR experience there is a video projection experience as well as a walk past some images on mirrored walls. This part was a complete fail--it provided absolutely no entertainment or educational value. I was deeply dissatisfied with this part of the experience! Bottom line, if you have access to NASA TV, a good LED/UHD TV, and surround sound speakers, your experience will be of a much higher quality than what is offered here. I expected IMAX quality images/video. That is not what you experience here. I did like the free parking near the venue. I also enjoyed the personal stories from a few of the astronauts. I also liked the price for a weekday showing--albeit the prices do double on the weekends. read more

I heard a lot of hype about this experience, I had to do it. I was not disappointed. Reading the reviews I see it described as "Epic, Awesome, Wonderful, Cool, Amazing, Incredible," it's all that and more. After slipping on the headset you were able to see all participants as a human outline, each with a blue or gold orb in the center of their chest (gold indicates the people you are with), this prevents you from running into one another in the room, everybody looked so cool! It's also set up so you know when you are getting close to a wall and can avoid it (you see red lines). As you walk around, you can see the parts of the space station outside the windows and when you look down you see the earth at night, it was fun trying to figure out what continent or country you were looking at. Throughout the space station, there are large orbs that, when you place your hand on them, you become engulfed and transported to a specific experience, for example, you end up in a room with astronauts and they are talking about... whatever. You are actually in their presence, it's hard to explain exactly. Another example is, you are transported to a part of the shuttle with the most amazing view of the earth from outer space, again, hard to describe. There is no way to accurately describe this, you just have to do it. The only negative is you don't get in at your scheduled time, we were in the line for an hour before entering. Even so, it was worth it. read more

The place is definitely a Instagram worthy place and experience however the staff needs to improve their mannerism.

Incredible experience! I saw the ad on YouTube and became interested. So I brought my whole family to the show. The 3D virtual reality device is well designed. The moment your device gets activated, you and everyone in your group will transform into a computer graphic filled with stars and a shining spherical golden light at the center of your body. The 360 view was so real, and I felt like I was inside (also outside) the International Space Station. The device made me think I was out in space viewing the earth. I paid the weekend full admission price for the family of five, but it was well worth the money. read more

The Infinite Experience - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The infinite was an unreal experience! Get it? Obviously it was unreal, it wasn't reality, it was VIRTUAL reality. I've read reviews saying this wasn't worth the hype but I disagree. It was so fun and so cool especially because I've never experienced anything like it. One could easily see how experiences like these will become the entertainment of the near future. Being able to interact in a virtual world while learning and having fun was a treat. I was fully engaged the entire time. Beforehand, I was worried about how the gear would fit my already large head especially since I also have a lot of hair and I also wear prescription glasses. But, had no issues whatsoever. An attendant will adjust the fear for you, making sure it's comfortable and works correctly. Someone in my group had an issue with their headset but it was replaced quickly with a working one. All the attendants were great and answered any and all questions we had. During the experience, they even come and assist (you can tell it's them by the different colored avatar). If you have a chance to experience The infinite, run, don't walk. read more
