Went for the space station experience well worth it. Kids then wanted to do the Titanic and said it was great.
What an experience, absolutely amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the space station and all the information given throughout. Would definitely return.
The most realistic experience of the international space station you can get on earth. The reality truly comes alive

Your questions about our experiences
What is Space Explorers: The ISS Experience?
With your headset on, you find yourself alongside the crew of the International Space Station. Filmed in real conditions during actual NASA missions, the experience surrounds you with authentic images of life in orbit: weightlessness, the daily work of astronauts, and this view of our planet from 400 km altitude. It's much more than a game; it's an immersive documentary you step into.
How long does the experiment last?
The immersion itself lasts approximately 35 minutes. Including the welcome, briefing, and headset fitting at the start, allow approximately 45 minutes in total on site.
Where does the experiment take place and how do I get there?
Welcome to Eclipso NYC, 555 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019, just a few blocks from Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan. The 59th St–Columbus Circle station (A/C/B/D/1) is about a 10-minute walk away, with 50th St (E) and 57th St–7th Ave (N/Q/R/W) nearby; the M11, M12, and M31 buses stop right outside. There is no street parking, but a paid parking garage is located directly beneath the building.
From what age can you participate?
Are we standing and moving during the experiment?
Yes, it's an experience best enjoyed standing up and with your hands free. You move naturally through the space and crouch down from time to time so you don't miss anything. Visitors with reduced mobility, or anyone wanting more comfort, can let our team know upon arrival: we'll adapt the experience accordingly.
Can the experience cause dizziness or nausea?
Slight dizziness or nausea may occur in some visitors, although this is rare. Our team remains nearby throughout the experience, and you are free to take a break or leave the room whenever you feel the need. Most visitors leave feeling perfectly comfortable.
Is the site accessible to people with reduced mobility?
Yes. Our New York location is accessible to people with reduced mobility, and wheelchairs are available on-site so everyone can participate comfortably. If you require assistance or have any questions before your visit, please don't hesitate to contact us; we'd be happy to help.
