Your opinions on the last ramparts in Bordeaux
They have traveled through millions of years… without leaving Bordeaux.
Fantastic experience with a group of teenagers. Very welcoming. Highly recommended.
An extraordinary experience and exceptionally friendly staff; we loved it. We'll be back to explore another world very soon. We've already visited Cheops and the ISS... Amazing!
An absolutely amazing experience!! This is my second time here; I've done the ISS and the Pyramids of Cheops, which I absolutely loved! The team is friendly, the setting is welcoming, the range of experiences is vast, and the equipment is incredible!! It's a truly unique experience in a perfect location with a top-notch team!! I highly recommend it!
Absolutely remarkable. I tried virtual reality immersion for the first time, and I was completely blown away; it felt incredibly real. On the advice of the staff, I chose Kheops, which was a huge success, and I understand why. I can't wait to come back and try the other themes; I think I'll do them all because I loved the experience so much. A big thank you to the Eclipso team who welcomed me with smiles, kindness, and great professionalism.
Fantastic and very realistic experience 😊 We'll gladly come back to do the other simulations
Space Explorer is by far my favorite, breathtaking, I would do it again with great pleasure!
A breathtaking new space explorer experience. I loved the others, but this one surpasses them! Don't miss it!
A fabulous journey aboard the ISS with spacewalks 💕 We move among the stars and close to the astronauts! A wonderful virtual reality experience
I visited the ISS, and I thought the experience was amazing. The best part was going out into space and watching the Earth go by. Also, when the astronauts arrive, you're right there with them; it's really immersive. 👍
Amazing family experience! We really felt like we were on the ISS and in space! 👩🏻🚀 The whole team is warm and welcoming, absolutely fantastic! 👌🏻
An impressive immersion aboard the ISS! The team is very friendly and helped us a lot with a technical problem.
The experience on the ISS was magnificent. A truly beautiful spectacle. I'd do it again.
We came as a couple to try the experience, and we LOVED it! We really felt like we were there! I highly recommend it for friends, families, or couples!
Excellent experience at Horizon de Khéops. The team is very welcoming and attentive to ensuring we had a good time. I highly recommend it!
Fourth exhibit, the ISS exhibit. Absolutely incredible, a total immersion with real videos of astronauts on the space station, even better than a created imaginary world. A huge thank you to Emma for her warm welcome and enthusiasm. We'll be back.
Fantastic family experience at Eclipso Bordeaux. The immersion is incredible, the team is welcoming and very friendly. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend it!
