From exhilarating natural wonders to enriching cultural moments and beyond, Illuminarium delivers a sensory experience like no other.

Illuminarium is brought to life through an unprecedented blend of 4K laser projection providing guests a connected and shared entertainment journey, audio beams creating a unique and precise sound experience for each individual, in-floor haptics producing realistic sensations for visitors, and even scent, adding authentic enhancement to the immersive experience. Our cinematic immersion will place you into the middle of the narrative unfolding around you. This is achieved with no wearable hardware of any kind - this is not a 3D or 4D experience.

Strobe effects, gentle floor vibration, immersive sound, and realistic & responsive projection may all be part of the show you experience, but nothing is intended to be frightening or disorienting. The intensity of the various elements will depend on the featured show.

The experience takes place completely indoors within two rooms. Our café offers an outdoor patio that opens directly onto the BeltLine.

We constantly have new shows under development! WILD and O'KEEFFE One Hundred Flowers are currently playing, and SPACE is launching Summer 2022. Check the show calendar on our main page to see what is playing on the date you'd like to attend!

Illuminarium After Dark is available Thursday-Sunday evenings beginning at 7PM. "After Dark" experiences are an adults-only version of our daytime attraction. Ticket inclusions depend on the show and can be purchased here.

We estimate your experience will last approximately 45-60 minutes depending on the show. We encourage you to continue your experience with a visit to our indoor/outdoor cafe which offers fast-casual fare. The café also offers a full bar. You can complete your experience with the Illuminarium Shop, where in addition to souvenirs from the experience, we also have unique apparel, home decor and jewelry.

You can move around the experience at your leisure and have free range throughout. There is seating to enjoy the experience from a different perspective if desired. The experience takes place in a space of 10,000 square feet – from end to end, the space is approximately 220 feet long.

There is no wearable hardware of any kind required to enjoy Illuminarium. Our cutting-edge technology will be all you need to be fully-immersed in the experience.

WILD: A Safari Experience was filmed on location in Africa, and all animals are being projected in a 360-degree environment. No live animals are part of this experience.
