Amazing!! We loved it!! We had a fantastic time in the lost world. We were completely immersed. The only thing that could be improved is the image quality, which is reminiscent of an old cartoon. It's a shame... beautiful, film-like visuals would be much more impressive.

A wonderful experience. Our Earth 🌎 seen from the sky and discovering the ISS from the inside... it's fantastic!

I visited the Great Pyramid of Giza last year, which was really interesting. This year I decided to go to the International Space Station. It's very good but too short; you don't really get to explore, you just watch short videos.

A great immersion in the ISS, beautiful images and videos, it felt so real! A great time with my colleagues! I was expecting more teamwork, but the experience was much more solitary.

The content is very exciting and truly beautiful, it's a shame the time is so short (35 minutes) and especially that the image quality, with glasses in the visor with progressive lenses like mine, isn't great: a bit blurry, you have to constantly move the visor.

An incredible experience. You discover life aboard the ISS as if you were there. Seeing the Earth from the vastness of space is magnificent.

Fantastische ervaring. Soms heb je enkel punt meer, zeker als je buiten de ISS en de ruimte loopt. In an interesting ISS case where there are some astronauts you can find, and in fact you can find out about this test. Aanbevelingswaardig.

Very good. Great experience. The warning for pacemaker wearers should be more explicit, especially before buying tickets.

Amazing experience with friends. Climbing the pyramid was a little daunting, and luckily we had asked them to minimize the feeling of vertigo. A magical moment that makes you want to try something else 🙏 Thank you to the very friendly young man at reception

A family of four spent a Saturday afternoon together, and it was simply an excellent time to share discovering the ISS. The staff were fantastic, funny, and professional. We will definitely be back to explore other exhibits! Thank you to the team!

Your questions about our experiences

The virtual reality immersion lasts approximately 45 minutes. Including the welcome, briefing, equipment fitting, and debriefing, allow approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes in total to fully enjoy your expedition to the heart of the Great Pyramid of Giza construction site.

Both experiences transport you to ancient Egypt, but with very different approaches. The Horizon of Khufu invites you to explore the interior of the pyramid and its secret passages in a contemplative and majestic immersion. The Builders' Treasure plunges you into an interactive investigation of the construction site: guided by Mona, a young Egyptologist, you travel back in time to discover how the builders made this masterpiece possible. The two experiences are complementary and can be enjoyed on the same day.

Yes, the experience is suitable for ages 8 and up. Its interactive investigation format, guided by the character Mona, is particularly engaging for children and teenagers. Each stage of the journey combines exploration, observation, and discovery, making it both a fun and educational outing. The content is based on scientific research validated by Egyptologists from Harvard University, and contains no violent or frightening scenes.

The Builders' Treasure was designed in collaboration with Peter Der Manuelian, an Egyptologist at Harvard University, and Barbara Bell, director of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. The experience draws on the latest archaeological discoveries: ancient construction logs, reconstructions of Nile ports, building techniques, and newly discovered spaces inside the pyramid. Each scene is based on research-validated data.

Some people may experience mild dizziness depending on their sensitivity, but this is rare. Please note: unlike The Horizon of Cheops and Lost Worlds, The Treasure of the Builders does not have a moderate (SOFT) mode. However, our team is present throughout the experience to assist you, and you can stop playing at any time if you feel unwell, without disturbing other participants.

Yes, it's absolutely possible. Many visitors choose to combine The Builders' Treasure with The Horizon of Khufu for a complete immersion in ancient Egypt. Our Lyon Confluence center offers a total of five experiences: you can book two consecutive slots online or check availability directly at reception on the day of your visit.

For a more peaceful experience, opt for weekday slots between 16pm and 18pm, or weekends from 10am to 11am and from 18pm to 20pm. These times generally allow you to avoid peak periods and enjoy a more tranquil immersion.
