So excited about this hidden gem right here in Reno! I love all the Meow Wolf exhibits and this gives the same vibe with sooo much to look at and a mind boggling amount of amazing art but without the crowds, we came for a spontaneous date night and were the only ones here for a while. Will absolutely be back, so much work went into this place! A must see for sure ✨
12/26/25 Came to start the night of celebration and it was the best start to the night coming here! Me and my partner had no clue what we were walking into besides it’s an immersive experience. As someone who’s grown up on immersive science centers as a kid i totally felt in my weird adult element here. The lovely individual who greeted us was amazing. Gave us a little fun tour of some of the many art pieces. Love some humor to start off the experience. Climbing, chilling, relaxing, and feeling whimsy is what I would sum up the whole hour being there. Definitely will be supporting and coming to more events in the very near future.
What an awesome experience. I came here with my husband on a Saturday at 6pm and there was no one else there! We were greeted by an artist (terrible with names, I’m sorry) who was so chill and humble. He showed us around a bit and introduced us to some of the art pieces. Lots to look at and interact with. Left feeling inspired!!! Thank you for sharing your art with Reno, we love you!!
Went here on a thursday and we were the only ones and it was SO AMAZING AND FUN. So much attention to detail in every little place. There were 2 floors plus an area outside. There was music playing and it totally fit thr vibe. Very whimsical and captivating. Every area had its own energy. Loved that you would interact with some of the pieces and there were climbable structures (im a little scared of heights so i didnt climb on the one outside) i heard there was going to be some upcoming events and im excited to come back and check those out!
