📻 Review: Meow Wolf Houston - Radio Tave (A Trip Through the Frequencies)
Having previously visited the original Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, NM, I went into the Houston experience with a good idea of what to expect, but Radio Tave definitely delivered its own unique, mind-bending flavor.
📍 Logistics & Pricing
The location itself is in the Warehouse District near downtown Houston. While convenient, a few logistical points stood out:
* Parking: Despite having a sprawling, football field-sized lot, we were charged for parking after the first 60 minutes. Since the exhibit typically takes 90 to 120 minutes to explore, you should absolutely factor the additional parking fee into your total visit cost.
* Dynamic Pricing: Be aware that Meow Wolf uses dynamic pricing. We observed a price increase between researching online (starting at $33) and purchasing tickets on-site (which cost us $36). It's best to book ahead to secure the best rate.
🌌 The Experience: Tuning into Radio Tave
My overall experience was great, and I highly recommend a visit to any Meow Wolf location if you've never been.
The Houston installation, aptly titled Radio Tave, is a fascinating take on an interdimensional community radio station. Where Santa Fe focused on a mysterious house, this exhibit plunges you into a world centered on sound, hidden frequencies, and portals.
Meow Wolf Houston does a magnificent job of capturing the idea of an ordinary place—a radio station—being warped into a limitless portal. It truly felt like stepping into a different radio frequency, where every knob, dial, and hidden door led to a new, fully realized world. The sheer scale and creativity involved in the 'ETNL Radio' storyline were impressive, making it feel more like an active exploration into a narrative than just a static art gallery.
We capped off our interdimensional journey with a well-deserved drink at the in-house bar, Cowboix Hevvven, which was the perfect, thematic finish to the trip!
Final Verdict: Radio Tave is a must-see for art lovers and anyone looking for a unique, highly interactive experience in Houston. Go get lost in the frequencies!
