Londoners loved it!
They have travelled through millions of years… without leaving London.
This was an amazing experience, really well organized and just the right length. Welcoming staff, useful facilities (lockers, toilets etc.), good timing. The experience itself was well put together, kept you engaged at all times.
Everest is an absolutely stunning and magical experience! Can't recommend enough!
The Everest experience was incredible. The visuals were stunning, the storytelling well-scripted, in places the climb made my heart race and I found witnessing the reaching of the summit quite moving. Highly recommend it.
A Masterclass in Immersive Storytelling: Climbing the Roof of the World. If you have ever wanted to experience the raw majesty and perilous beauty of the world's tallest peak without risking frostbite, Everest: The First Ascent at Eclipso is an absolute must-visit. This stunning 50-minute virtual reality journey drops you directly into the historic 1953 expedition, allowing you to walk side-by-side with legendary pioneers Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Did the Everest experience, truly immersive and well paced story. Definitely recommend!
This was a most enjoyable experience - it really was 'immersive' in the truest sense of the word. We were booked into Titanic 'Echos from the past' and it was easy to believe we were actually on the seabed! It was so well produced. Added to this we had the use of brand new upgraded headsets which improved the whole activity compared to previous VR experiences. I must say both staff members we met were well briefed and were keen to give us the best experience they could. 5*
Absolutely loved it, amazing interaction and felt so real. Really do recommend. Great way to spend a Saturday if you fancy something a little different.
It was really cool. Being outside the space station was amazing. Some of the objects floated away when you tried to touch them. The space walk was incredible - seeing the astronauts working outside was very real.
The Everest experience at Eclipso Adventures is the most outstanding must see attraction. It is totally immersive and interactive and you feel that you've actually been to the Himalayas. You start in Katmandhu which is magical and then you move towards Everest. It's so exciting and you are completely drawn in. The staff are super friendly and they share your excitement. The best thing we've done in a very long time!
My first ever immersive experience using headsets, which I was worried about initially on several fronts, but the staff put my mind at rest. It was so realistic and I had an amazing experience. It was fantastic and would recommend.
Went to see the Titanic experience.First time seeing an immersive experience and highly recommended.Several other experiences on offer.Staff friendly and very helpful 😊
I was part of the first group to experience the 'Everest - First Acent' immersive experience. It was fantastic!!! I arrived as a solo participant not really knowing what to expect. You book a slot and that group of people then enter into a room for a small introduction on how the head set works. You then go into the main room with your head set on and thats where you are transported into another world. The graphics are fantastic. You start off on the train to Kathmandu, then Durbar Square where you get your briefing and meet Edmund and Tenzing, then receive a blessing in a temple with monks chanting. Following this you begin your ascent through the rhododendrons then over the ice fall and upto the summit where you can look around and see the highest mountains in the world. It is well worth the price of the ticket 'i would have paid more for the experience' and will be something I will speak of for sometime yet.

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.
