Tilly Poynter
★★★★★10 months agoSuper fun immersive experience, 4 different experiences to choose from. I explored the world of dinosaurs and creatures from million years ago. No wait to get into the building but there is a bit of a wait to get into the experience fully worth it though. Also for those with mobility issues, the wheelchairs they have don't include foot rests. So just worth letting you know. Other than that it was so fun!

★★★★★9 months agoFor the first time I have experience something amazing. I experienced L'Horizon de Khéops through virtual reality. Impossible to describe in words. The team has worked really hard to give the fantastic experience to their visitors. Highly recommended. I am going to visit the place soon to experience other shows.
