I took my niece and 11 year old great nephew for a different experience. It was fun and we all had. Good time. There could be a bit more interactive areas. We took our time and were done in just over hour

One of the coolest and most unique spots I've ever been to. Took the whole family and nobody had anything negative to say. We went at an earlier time so it was pretty dead, I believe that made it easier for us to really get to explore and interact with everything. We spent a solid 2 and a half hours, and that was just to go through it all and to finish one of the puzzles. Plenty more to do if you also add the arcade in, which unfortunately we didn't. Great time though and we will be back. I recommend this place to any and everyone.

We've attended twice, loved it both times. The first time my fiance and I went together for a weekend date, the second time we took our 3 kids, they absolutely loved it too! They loved being able to touch everything and engage with everything. We went through twice with the kids. Their favorite part was definitely the mouth area and getting to ride the uvula like a wrecking ball🤣

We had a fabulous time. I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The lady at the front desk was very helpful. We were there for 3 hours and had fun the whole time!! Definitely would recommend going. I would take a lot of people with you. It was more fun with other people.

I can't even write a review to properly explain this place. It's so unique, and so fun and mind bending you have to see to believe. I wish I had the time to play all the games and figure out all the puzzles. I feel like there are so many more levels of fun just on top of the visual experience.

Overall- clean place and they have snacks and drinks for those that want them (alcoholic and non alcoholic). I went with my 3.5 year old and my almost 8 year old who has ASD. She loved it but it was definitely sensory overload for her. Therefore, after an hour I left so she could calm her body. My 3.5 year old loved it as well, but she was able to fly through the place-taking only about 45 minutes inside (had I left right when she wanted to). Now, there are many areas that have different codes/puzzles, and once you figure those out you will see a lot of exciting colors/actions from the different exhibit. We only figured out a couple and that was due to having friends that went a couple months ago and gave us a heads up. Overall, It’s definitely an interesting place. I feel like it’s a cool experience. But, kids 6 and under probably won’t get much long term enjoyment from it. For us, it was a unique experience and glad we went. But, it’s not a place that I feel we need to run back to.

My family went to this over the weekend upon a suggestion from our daughter, and boy are we glad we did! One of the most unique and fun experiences we have ever had together. Highly recommend! Matter of fact, we are definitely returning soon! Even planning to attend a music event there as well on the 22nd of this month! Totally worth every penny! Lost inside for hours!

Amazing!!!! Fun for all ages. We only solved one of the three puzzles. Would love to go back to tackle the other two. The design is fun. You never know what you will expect when you turn a corner.

We didn't know what this is and asked people in line. They were very enthusiastic and convinced us to go it. As the name implies, there's many worlds inside. I love the creativity artists put in to create these many worlds. Amazing. I'm glad we went. Bought our tickets online and it was a breeze going in. Just have to check in and get a bracelet.

While visiting the Columbus a group of us decided to come by to check out Otherworld and it did not disappoint! The place was in a shopping center that seemed pretty empty but once we got inside it was like we entered another world. The place wasn't too packed and there was one worker at the front who was really sweet and patient with our group. They also allowed me to do a tour of the game area which I appreciated. There was a little something for everyone, adults and kids included. From the time we walked in we were met with room after room filled with interactive exhibits which we enjoyed. I don't want to give too much away as I don't want to ruin the surprise but I definitely recommend checking it out! The tickets were a bit pricey but after seeing everything inside I didn't feel too bad about paying so much. If you find yourself in the area, you should definitely make your way out to see them!

I've come back a few times, and both Otherworld and Gamegrounds are solidly "good". Otherworld and Gamegrounds are two separate "experiences" both within the same building. Tickets are purchased separately for each. You can do both back-to-back, but I'd really recommend coming back twice if you're in the area. It'll be a long day with lots of standing if you try to do them back-to-back. I'd describe Otherworld as an interactive visual experience with optional, hidden, unwritten-rules puzzles for you to explore. You can simply walk around Otherworld and enjoy all of the shiny views if you want, but if you're someone who likes to touch and figure out hidden meanings, Otherworld allows and encourages it. Otherworld is untimed, and spending 1-2 hours (just looking) would be normal and definitely 3-6 if you're trying to solve any puzzles. Gamegrounds is a timed experience where you can play as many games (each with slots for 6 players) as possible before time runs out. All games use digital scorekeeping. Unlike Otherworld, all the games are extremely straight-forward and rules are written out. Games feel like real-life versions of arcade-esque games like whack-a-mole or ball toss or Space Invaders. It's like a mix between old-school console arcade games and Super Mario Party. close-toed Gamegrounds is less mentally stimulating but way more physically stimulating. The games are designed to be difficult for adults, but since points don't really matter, it can work just fine to have kids + adults playing together. When we've gone (even on weekends), people tend to let you play with your own little group, and they'll wait their turn until afterwards. (i.e. A group of 2 behind us never tried to join our group of 3 in a game despite there being 6 slots). Prepare to move around quite a bit for Gamegrounds, and close-toed shoes would be helpful but not necessarily. Just plan for something you can stand for at least an hour in since the entire place is standing. Accessibility-wise, there are quite a few games that involve simply standing (not dodging or bending), though almost all games require regular use of the arms. All games are designed for young kids or adults who are standing, and most would be difficult in a wheelchair. PROS: -It's a really unique experience. Otherworld is really cool, and it's hard to find anything else to compare it to. It feels like exploring a real-life video game where there's a backstory and lots of interesting things to learn if you touch and read all of the "optional" info. There are no "quest markers". There's just lots of side quests and puzzles you can do if you fully explore each room you're in and put together the pieces. -Great job on Otherworld and Gamegrounds being both adult-friendly and kid friendly. Kids will love all of the shiny lights and interactive touching while adults can (if they want) get more mentally involved with the puzzles or skill challenges. This can make the entire place a great time for everybody of all ages (and of different interests in "art"). -Unlimited time in Otherworld is really amazing. It really lets you hang around all of the areas you like and spend as much time trying to solve the puzzles as you'd like. If you're here with groups/friends, there are lots of seated areas (in theme for the rooms in they're in) designed for sitting and talking. You can grab drinks and walk in/out of the Otherworld area as you please, making this a fun social spot if you have someone in your crew who wants to go super-deep into the puzzles and everyone else is just along for the ride. -I love the backstory and alternative universe/lore they've put into Otherworld. I don't even think I've scratched the surface of the universe they were trying to make, and we went into every room and spent over 3 hours here. -If you're staying hydrated or drinking any alcohol, the Gamegrounds area includes cupholders for its games. CONS: -The parking lot is a pothole nightmare. Drive slow. Almost every building surrounding here is abandoned, so take anything valuable inside with you. -To keep the place running, I'd assume, food/drink areas are staffed by a single employee. It looks like that employee will set up a sign that says "Be back later" if they go on a break or lunch or to the bathroom. We've had multiple times where we've tried to grab a water or a snack while getting hungry to not see anyone manning the place for a long while. We've taken to having to bring our own waters. -Some of the Otherworld puzzles/games don't seem to be functioning like they should. It might take a couple button presses to get something to register, and when it isn't registering right, it's hard to really understand if you're doing the unwritten puzzle "correctly" or not. -Quite a few of the Player 1 spots in the Gamegrounds area are in need of help. Since they see the most abuse, their mechanics seem to perform way less well than player spots 3-6.

This place is just too cool. I went for the first time recently for a concert. I had a good idea of what to expect, as I've been the Meow Wolf in Denver, which is very similar and I believe connected to Otherworld in some way. The fact that they serve as a concert venue on top of their regular immersive art experience is pretty rad. The space is huge and it took me quite a minute to get the lay of the land. Every twist and turn you take you find something new to explore. I loved the interactive elements, like the computer room that will randomly Rickroll you. There's so many photo opps I lost count. As for the concert, the sound was great, and I had an absolute blast. A few things to note... Parking was super easy as there is a huge, free lot right out front. Getting through security was a breeze. The bathrooms were super clean and fully stocked. The staff was friendly and the lines to get a drink were never too long. I've heard that they oversell the space a lot, and while the show I went to was sold out (Ahee), it wasn't an issue at all. I can't wait to come back to experience the place in it's normal state. I also have no doubt that I'll attend another show here. Have fun!

We needed something to do while visiting my aunt and this did not disappoint. We solved 2 of the 3 puzzles. My teenage boys were very entertained. It was clean and didn't feel too crowded. A good value for the fun!

This place was a fun time. We went for my birthday a couple years ago. They have alcohol you can buy while you walk around the building. It was a really cool experience and I hear they change it around to give you a new experience. We maybe spent an 1.5 hour total there. It's kind of pricey but it's something to see at least once. I could see kids and adults both enjoying it.

A cool interactive art museum in Ohio. Near Reynoldsburg this is a bit of a drive for anyone staying in Columbus but worth the visit. At $31 it was a little steep for something that didn't take me more than an hour to go through and we went at quite a busy time with a lot of other people. I definitely enjoyed the rooms that were more enclosed which felt more immersive. I've been to a handful of interactive immersive museums and this fits the vibe. I think something that takes away from the experience is being able to see the exit signs or the ceilings. The other ones I've been to in Tokyo and Barcelona are much more immersive. Art is subjective but some of the rooms felt like an art kids installation project. It's great that this is kid friendly but unfortunately kinda took away from my own experience. It just felt really crowded. I appreciate all the time and energy that went into each room and it was an unique, fun experience.

My friend and I decided to check out Otherworld one Friday night and had a great time. We arrived just in time for happy hour and took our cocktails on the journey with us. There's a whole storyline you can follow about how the otherworlds came to be, but we were just mesmerized by all the pretty colors and interactive elements. It took us about an hour and a half to make our way all the way through. We also popped into their new gaming area for a few minutes just to see what it was like. I'd definitely like to come back just for games another day.

Really cool place- all the rooms are filled with interesting art installations, many of which are very interactive and fascinating. A few notes- the puzzles/games are damn near impossible to solve, and one is fully impossible because it's either broken or only works with certain cell phones. It also kills the magic when you can see the warehouse ceiling so clearly, and it's unclear who the place is for because it's crawling with kids who 100% could never solve the puzzles, but of course it's a cool wonder world for them, yet it makes it really hard for older kids/adults to navigate the space and stay immersed in the puzzle and story of it all.

It's a FANTASTIC attraction, one I wish was close to my home! We did a day trip to visit... but it was still beyond worth it! Honestly, the price tag for the value is actually cheap, at least if you really soak in the atmosphere and the vibes from room to room. Moreso if you spend half a day and solve all the puzzles yourself! A pretty massive walkthrough art exhibit, or maybe 'experience' is a better descriptor. There are puzzles throughout, hidden hallways and crawl spaces, and creativity oozing out of every inch of the space! I'll put it this way, the pictures don't do it justice. The soundscapes they developed for the sections and rooms are absolutely fantastic, too!!!

I have been wanting to go for sometime and finally had the opportunity to visit for my birthday. Otherworld is in a no longer used shopping center. They now have a Gameworld too. I didn't realize they were in the same building. They are two different sections that you pay for seperately. My friend and I took her son. He is younger and she thought he would fall asleep. Nope! He was wide awake the whole time looking at all the lights, mirrors and surroundings. His favorite part was jumping onto the giant beanbags. It is a neat one time experience. We walked through it in about an hour. There are tunnels, secret places, an interactive game, and activities and things to look at all along the way. The mirror rooms were my favorite. It was a bit pricey for how long we were there. It was cool to experience but I would probably never go back again.

We were in town for a concert and looking for something to do before heading home, and I kept getting ads for this so we decided to check it out. Well worth the hour or so we spent here. As many reviewers have commented, an "interactive art experience" is probably the best way to describe it. Every room is a little different with some hidden passageways connected rooms in neat ways. It's touted as family friendly, but the whole thing gave me Stranger Things vibes, so I don't imagine that *my* kids would have enjoyed this at all -- some of the rooms are dark (these can be avoided) but there's still an inherent creepiness to almost all of the rooms. Not that this is a bad thing, just something to know beforehand - it's all Otherworldly for sure, but sometimes in a cute way and sometimes in a creepy way. Just know what you're getting into. It was a slow evening when we went in the middle of the week, so we moved through things pretty easily and didn't really see too many other people - maybe every 3 or 4 rooms we'd bump into someone else, but we mostly explored alone. The puzzles weren't too appealing to us, but maybe we've missed it. Overall I thought this was a great deal for only $30 per ticket. Plenty to do for the price.

This is a highly unique and interesting place to visit. I highly recommend buying tickets online to secure a time slot and then go either with a group of friends, all adults, a family. It's a great time!

Otherworld was more than just a museum, but the best experience ever. I was impressed by the photos I saw online but I was completely blown away when when I finally got to experience it! It's perfect for both children, older kids, and adults. Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had!!

This was my second time here but the kids (11 and 13) 1st time. We all had fun. So many interesting and interactive exhibits. Took us about 2 hours to go through everything. We didn't do the additional puzzle part which probably would take longer. Parking is easy as there is a huge parking lot and the other businesses around it are closed. Some of the rooms were different from when I went the first time a few years ago. The kids want to go back again.

This place is trippy. We were visiting Columbus for a comic con and heard from locals that this is a big tourist spot. We were a little skeptical because it is in the middle in an abandoned shopping center. Seriously, this was the only thing that was opened. The inside was amazing. There were so many things to look at. This museum is very interactive. If there is one thing to do in Columbus, go here!

Otherworld is an art experience, some of which are interactive puzzles. It's part photo op, part art museum, part funhouse. I would say it's for "all-ages" but I think teenagers/young adults would get the most enjoyment out of it, and be able to follow contextual clues hidden in the experience. We have been to the Philadelphia location, which has a lot of similarities to this one (the funeral section, the office, the basement, etc). So while we spent each $30 on tickets, we did about an hour here - not the fault of the talented designers, but more to see what is different and what is unique from the other version. If it's your first time, or if you want to read every piece of lore, it could take up to 2-3 hours to do everything. I do think there's something that could improve the experience. A map, a physical thing to carry around and check things off (even if areas are unfinished or marked with a "???" to not spoil a surprise) would be nice to see. I ended up taking a picture of the fire exit map to help with navigating and make sure we didn't skip anything, which I recommend until they have a real map to hand out for everyone. Overall, it's a unique experience and worth your time to check out.

I came back to this place again to do the museum part of it. And it was incredibly enjoyable, and trippy on the eyes but in a good way. Would recommend if you want good vibes and a head trip.

My fiancé and I were recently in Columbus attending a filmmaking convention when we were recommended a trip to OtherWorld. I expected it to be more of a 3D art museum, but it would be better described as a spooky sci-fi adventure. We started in a room that looked like a failed science lab. Following the doorways into another dimension, we were both pleasantly surprised by giant, furry dragons in bedrooms and interactive wall painting, then later disturbed by dancing 1930's cartoon characters during a funeral and bizarre alien-type creatures being studied in some sort of scientific study. It was easily the quickest 90 minutes we spent on a date! Though I wouldn't agree that $30 per person was worth the experience, we still had fun. Videos and photos are allowed as long as no flashes are used. It was pretty comfortable inside temperature-wise, I would recommend bringing a sweater if you're easily cold.

This place is otherworldly. Sometimes things are better left unsaid and Otherworld is just that. If I talked about my experience here, it would spoil just how awesome and wild this place is. All I will say is that this place is big, it has many rooms, and no two rooms are alike. If you are curious about Otherworld and have no plans to ever visit, check out some videos on YouTube or something. But if you think you'll go, do yourself a service by going in blind. At $30 a ticket, it's well worth your time if you enjoy a visual and interactive trip.

Otherworld is this fun interactive art exhibit, with plenty of lights and cool sculptures. They have little tunnels that go into different rooms, swings, interactive walls, etc. The price is pretty decent, it isn't inexpensive but won't burn a hole through your pockets either. The workers there are fine, they did a good job explaining things and they keep the place clean. It was a great experience for the kids but not something I'd make an effort to go back to. The exhibits do make for amazing pictures but idk I guess I was expecting more. From the pictures online it seemed much larger and like there were tons of lights, in reality it's a medium sized place with decent exhibits.

This place was recommended to us and I'm so glad it was, we had such a fun time! One thing to know is that it is not super close to downtown, about 20 minutes out. Weirdly enough, in a completely abandoned shopping center where it seems to be the only thing still standing. I had recently visited the famous Meow Wolf in Denver (also in Vegas and Santa Fe,) and I kept thinking how this was basically a smaller version of that. It's a big, fun, trippy playground for all ages, essentially. The coolest part is how they incorporated art in so many ways here. It's odd, it's quirky, it doesn't always make sense, but it's cool as hell.

I have very mixed feelings about Otherworld. THE GOOD: *The employees walking around to help give hints, in terms of the hidden puzzles, were VERY kind. *The vast majority of the decorations were so unique and amazing. *$30 for unlimited time to wander? That's neat. THE BAD: *No TP in two of the restrooms. Considering that there were so many people there, in line, TP should be checked regularly. The line was long due to how limited our restroom options were. *Lots of hand sanitizer stations... that were empty. THE UGLY: *considering how much there is, how many people there are, and how big the place is, I was surprised with how clean it (at least appeared) to be. *The different environments were neat; however, it made everything very confusing. *We felt there should have been a mark to help you know which rooms were puzzles and which rooms were just interactive leisure rooms... we messed around with what we THOUGHT was a puzzle for like 25 minutes before we figured out it wasn't one. *While I said it was great to have the unlimited time for the price, the lack of crowd control was very stimulating. It's hard to walk around and complete puzzles when people get in the way. *the sensors on a lot of things didn't work... I'm giving it a 2; wish I could give it a 2.5. Id go again, but it's not something I'd be ecstatic to recommend. P.S. If you go and want to solve the puzzles, bring a notebook! P.P.S. it'd be neat if there were adult only nights or times.

The place is in an abandoned shopping center. The area looked sketchy. One of the warehouses has been converted into this experience. The place is immersive and imaginative. However, I did not find the place as interactive as it was mentioned on the website. The artworks are amazing, and I appreciate the wonderfully talented artists who set up this out of the world experience. There were multiple rooms with out of the world imaginative artwork. It definitely is a unique experience. Kids would love it. The place was clean and maintained well.

If there's one thing I enjoy, it's shiny things. Not necessarily coins, but literally anything shiny. I have a running joke in my office if I get off track, it's because I saw something shiny - so when my friend said let's go to Otherworld, there are shiny things, she didn't have to tell me twice. Otherworld at its core is an abstract art installation. I'm sure there are many more intricacies and subjects that I don't understand, kind of like when your English teacher told you to dig in about why Charles Dickens used seventy words to explain that the curtains were purple. Unfortunately, I'm not intellectual enough for that, so I'll tell you I enjoyed the shiny objects and the moving pieces. While the exhibit itself is super fun, interesting, and well worth the price of admission, there are a couple of cons that I deem it as not a five star show. - Firstly, beyond the actual exhibit, they have this simple bar that looks like an afterthought. It's like one of those knockoff Chuck-E-Cheese side bars that sells Little Caesar's pizza and overpriced cans of pop. Granted, they do sell more than that, but it's just kind of a slap in the face considering how cool the actual art is. I think they could definitely use to put some more work into it to better match the rest of the facilities. - Second, location. I understand that being in an abandoned strip mall is low overhead cost and probably more freedom to install whatever they please, but going to Reynoldsburg for this is potentially already a determent for some. I'm not trying to spend time in Reynoldsburg! Overall, I would absolutely recommend it to all ages and advise to spend a minimum of 1 1/2 hours here. It's definitely a cool way to spend some time while in Columbus if you have a vehicle to get there!

The exhibits are fun and you can piece the story together eventually. However the 2 puzzles that you can solve (obelisk and symbol table) add absolutely nothing to the space and were a total waste of time - my advice is don't try to solve these and just enjoy the space because we missed out on some fun while trying to collect symbols. One staff member at gift shop was helpful but most who were walking through had no idea how to solve things or work through puzzles so that was also very frustrating.

This is like being in a schizoid low budget film set. Noisy, bizarre and relatively without merit. Stuck in an almost abandoned commercial real estate failure which contributes to the dystopian vibe. 1. Not worth the price 2. No real learning for children 3. Probably toxic environment and unsanitary. My recommendation is spend your hard earned dollars on something besides this. It's just bad.

What is this place? It's 32,000 square feet of large scale immersive space and mixed reality -- 40 rooms of fantastic setups, some that challenge, some that puzzle, some that amuse. If you've been to Meow Wolf, you'll know what to expect! Somewhat! Otherworld is located in a somewhat desolate area off Chantry Drive -- not much here in this mostly empty shopping area -- lots of parking though. Once you enter, you are transported indeed to another world -- Beta testing at Otherworld Industries for their alternate realms. Adult tickets are $30 each, which seems reasonable given that they recommend you spend 1-3 hours here. We had a flight to catch so we didn't linger and toured the entire space in about 45 minutes once through. You may decide you want to revisit certain areas or realize you missed a room by taking an alternate route. We got here when it opened at 10am -- along with a bus of schoolchildren and other young families. You may decide to come later in the evening instead. This is a large space though and we often had many of the rooms to ourselves. There is no mystery to piece together like Meow Wolf Santa Fe, although the puzzle of Santa Fe is easily enough guessed, but that shouldn't deter you from thoroughly enjoying yourself. Why can't you just have fun? Come with a group of friends and just enjoy wandering through these artist-created dreamscapes together.

I've been to Otherworld a few times and they say that the exhibits change however only about 20% of the exhibits switch up, and none of them have anything to do with the puzzles. You should really switch up the games/puzzles to solve or at the very least, if you're going to use the same symbols and riddles, then switch up the way you find the symbols. Have them in different places like the new exhibits. My friend and I spent about 45minutes there because we were thinking we were going to see mostly new exhibits and games to solve. Nope, all the same. Which is pretty lame. $30 for 45 min. Not worth it. On to the service. The people minus 1 associate were rude as hell. The girl named Katie or Kate was incredibly passive aggressive. You guys have a sign that says to keep the line short, order tickets online, but the website was malfunctioning, and multiple people complained that it wasn't working, and yet Katie/Kate was annoyed/irritated that people didn't reorder tickets, BUT THE WEBSITE WASNT WORKING. Hello?! And then an associate said "oh yea, it hasn't been working correctly for a few months now" I'm sorry what?! So you're going to get mad at us customers for trying to preorder tickets but not being able to because the website wasn't working. Make that sh** make sense please. Oh one last thing, with the money you get from tickets, can you do something about your damn parking lot? You got potholes from Hell, that will tear the sh** out of someone's car. A giant one right in the middle of a lane. For first time goers, the place is cool and fun. But If you want people to keep coming back, then do better Otherworld, associates/managers included.

Rang in the new year here! It was an excellent event. Live DJ's and a few bars set up throughout the space. I'm definitely looking forward to checking it out again some time during regular business hours! The different rooms were really fun, it was interesting to see which ones people gravitated towards. This place is definitely a trip! The way they connect, you definitely want to make a mental note on where your favorite room is at to ensure you can find it again! I was so swept away that I didn't get many pictures. I think that speaks to how well this place grabs and keeps your attention. You could definitely spend hours just checking out the different themed rooms.

Our visit here exceeded my expectations! I had a group of ladies in town from 6 different states and we chose this as our activity for Sunday morning ($30/person). Every one of us enjoyed our experience and most of them want to come back another time! Our ticket time was 10:30 am on Sunday and I do think that resulted in a larger amount of kids running around. Not unruly or anything, but our group wasn't able to experience all of the interactive items. They have a snack bar with some themed alcoholic drinks that we didn't try. You can get some really cool photos here with different light and mirror rooms. I'd guess there's over 30 different rooms/areas and have been told they change them when something is worn out. Lots of color, things to touch, and cool experiences. Nothing was scary however their were some clowns in one room and possible other things some people might be scared of.

This experience actually reminds me of Meow Wolf. We went to the one in Denver. They both have a lot of hidden rooms and areas that you can explore. Otherworld is cheaper and way less crowded. Admission is around $30 which is not bad. A little pricey for some. I enjoyed walking through the different areas of art because they're all different. We spent about an hour and half. Employees were very nice and friendly. Only thing I didn't like is that this place is isolated from everything else. It would be nice to have some restaurants or other stores next door that you can walk to.

Fun, artsy, cool spot for the curious and dans of sci-fi visuals. Some kitschy things and many truly beautiful presentations here. Done people all through just looking which is fine, but go and be adventurous and it pays off.

This place is awesome! The location is pretty odd, since its in an abandoned shopping center (think an abandoned Target). However, this adds to the experience in my opinion. You come up to a building that basically has nothing other than the name on it. The windows are blacked out and you don't get a feel of what its about until you step inside. This is an adventure you won't forget! Lots of crazy rooms with odd and out of this world designs. Infinite mirror rooms, crawl into an Space Invaders arcade, play a game with a very odd cow. So much to do. Unfortunately, since this is more of an art installation, it suffers from the same inherent problem that happens with museums. You go once, you pretty much see everything. I hear there are events and DJs, etc, which could be neat. But, other than taking new friends here to show them the place, its likely you don't need to go back more then a few times. Also, very cool merch to buy, some gimmicky stuff that you can get on amazon like glow lights, and things. But, the branded items and plushies are awesome!

Fun place to go! Service was nice. Dark, artsy, weird, fun and trippy. Good for family time or a night out! We plan on going again when they change it around!

I was a bit skeptical at first because it was advertised as a art museum, but then I realized there was easter eggs and secrets to almost every room. We spent 2 -1/2 hours looking through 40+ rooms and managing to solve a bunch of secrets. Ps: If you're struggling to find any secrets search reddit, I wish I looked before we arrived.

What a Dumb venue. Looks like someone dumped all the items even a Thrift store would throw out! Don't wastes your money. I took my 14 yr old granddaughter and friend .

Went with my sister and nieces and nephew. Everyone is given a wristband and you can explore the place at your own pace. Loved the various rooms that had mirrors. There were so many themed rooms to go into and explore. As a non adolescent I recommend knee pads as not all the crawl spaces have cushions on the floor. The black and white room was a favorite. Loved the interactiveness of it all. Would love to go back

This place was an interesting find. My son and I spend 45 minutes wandering around the halls enjoying the visual impact that is Otherworld. I tried not to think of the million hands that had touched everything or cringe when my son sat on a feathery chair. At least there were hand sanitizer dispensers strewn throughout the place, but half of them didn't work or were empty. I very much enjoyed the tripiness of Otherworld. I'm not sure if it was worth the $30 entry fee per person, but it was still cool nonetheless and I'm glad I went.

Long way from home but worth the visit! So many rooms with the most extraordinary detail and activity, I didn't want it to be over! I did see postings for a new room or two in the works and would love to come back and see what they add, even tho it's hard to believe they can come up with more with how much they already have! I absolutely recommend this unreal experience of an art museum. Pictures do not do it any justice!

Otherworld is a extremely unique artistic realism exhibit. One that takes your imagination through a whirlwindl of imaginary living world of fantasy sight, sound & interactive sensory fun. Visited from St. Louis, MO and on our last day we planned a trip to OtherWorld. Even though our visit didn't start out as planned do to a unexpected power outage. After a timely delay we were able to experience all the sights and sounds from the uniquely designed atmosphere. The staff was very understanding and helpful with keeping everyone up-to-date while informing not only myself but others of when they'd possibly open. We appreciated the friendly staff and the amazing experience. We'll definitely be back.

Horrible. I would not go here if it was free. The entire strip mall complex that it is situated in is in the process of demolition. I think this is the only thing left open. Real sketchy area and is in disrepair. It is an old store that has rooms with stuffed animals and lights. If you're high or 5 years old, it might be ok. Place sucked. Sorry.

My daughter gave this place 20 out of 10 stars! We LOVED it. We made sure we crawled and climbed over every square foot of this magical wonderland. We LOVE contemporary art so this place was our jam. So many cool creative things to see and interact with. It's truly like stepping into a sci-fi movie. So very worth the ticket price.
