Have you ever wanted to take a walk through an alien realm and explore all of the possibilities of a new land? Well, Otherworld can provide all of that and maybe even more.
Otherworld is a Columbus-based, immersive art experience that leads the viewer through a story of tourism in an alternate world. The experience utilizes countless, different art mediums from an extensive team of artists to create a fully-immersive experience for guests.
The experience starts with you, the viewer, who will become a beta tester for Otherworld Industries in their pursuit of researching alternate worlds. The viewer is left alone in the seemingly-abandoned laboratories, and it is your task to find out the secrets of the lab and maybe even do some traveling between the worlds.
The experience features 47 different rooms of abstract art, spanning a total of 32,000 square feet of mysteries and new experiences.
Otherworld was built and created by over 40 artists who believed that traditional museums, galleries, and theme park attractions did not match their level of anticipated excitement and entertainment. Their plan was to create an experience to immerse the viewer in an unknown environment through highly interactive technology and large-scale props.
The Otherworld experience contains a large number of art forms such as metalworking, programming, animation, sculpting, digital fabrication, and creative writing. The result of these art forms from such a large team of artists is a wonderful experience.
Tickets for Otherworld are only available online, and you must schedule a specific time slot for your tickets on your planned day of attendance. You can, however, stay and experience the art for as long as you want following your arrival time slot. Tickets range from $25 to $30 per person, while lower prices are offered for children and senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased here.
If you are looking for a new art experience or just a fun place to go, Otherworld is definitely a great option for the whole family to enjoy.
