Actually I wanted to see the Africa one, but it wasn't on during our stay in Vegas, so we saw the space. Which was really good! The film surrounds you, it's on all the walls and the floor. The introduction was great too! I definitely want to see the Safari when I have the chance to!

We went on the safari tour and it was super cool seeing all the animals and cool backgrounds. Time went fast but it last about 45 mins. I’ve never done anything like this so it was our first time. For first timers it was very entertaining. I will be back to see the space show!!

We attended the Illuminarium on Sunday evening for the 930pm showing of SPACE. The check in process was so simple. Since we already had digital tickets we were scanned in and only had to 2 for 2 minutes to be let into the first room.

The experience in the first room was amazing and our guide was fun to interact with. We enjoyed watching the rockets "blast off" and felt immersed in the process of take off.

Once we entered the larger main room we saw the "horoscopes" constellations portion of the show. They were amazing to see, and fun to read all of the descriptions.

By far our favourite portion was the Moon Landing show with the astronauts and moon rovers driving all over the surface of the moon. We stay for almost 2 cycles of all of the segments and enjoyed ourselves! The property was clen, and well maintained, the staff was friendly and helpful and we overall had an amazing experience at Illuminarium.

The space show is absolutely magnificent, breathtaking, and mesmerizing. I sat through it for 3 rotations, which are 45 minutes in a loop. I loved the visuals and the sounds. The staff was great. I did 9 attractions in Vegas with my Go City pass and this was by far my favorite one. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys checking out the night's sky and the amazing work NASA has accomplished.

We went to the late night Space After Dark. That is only open for 21 and over, with a bar available, and an option to buy a $10 drink with your ticket. Two rooms, one about 20 x 40 feet, where a DJ was doing his thing. The walls and floors were covered with graphics as if we were inside a space station. Pretty cool music and video.

The second room was quite a bit larger, probably nearly four times as big. It had wall-to-wall video completely surrounding the entire L-shaped room, playing a nearly 1 hour video of all sorts of cool space stuff, launches, landings, planets, moons, comets, astrology, asteroids and more. It was fun and interesting. The music was very fitting, and the sound was good. It actually became quite immersive with the floor and walls being part of the effects.

I guess I was just expecting more rooms, or other stuff. Definitely different, that's for sure. A unique experience, but not really overwhelming or super fantastic. But, it was cool and fun. It would have been a much better effect if the ceilings were done the same way.

We went to the safari exhibit, which was a visually beautiful display of wild animals. It was a pleasant experience and fun for the kids. It was a short exhibit limited to one room but we went at night so there were fewer people in the big room. Overall, I recommend experiencing this one time.

Beautiful 😍.

I worked part of the James Webb Space Telescope graphics (JWST was worked by NASA and Northrop Grumman), so I was curious of how they were going to display and present this beautiful space tool. They did not disappoint.

The animation and USA Flag 🇺🇸 planted on the moon was cool, and the planets, belts, meteorites breaking apart, the choice of music (added to all the feels), was very well made. The biggest I was impressed with as far as graphics was the beginning in the 1st room we were guided in, which was when we were "lifting off and launched" into space, going through the layers of the atmosphere.

I'm definitely going back to see this again. Top notch and beautiful. Also a great price for about 45-1 hour of presentation time. Whoever is complaining, is ridiculous and doesn't know what they're talking about, or straight up cheapskate. Go see it, it's rad! Then go to the building next door and check out Meow Wolf.

It was an amazing experience that you should definitely try, while in Las vegas. We had the go city pass, so it was quite affordable. The sensory delight that this attraction offers is beyond amazing. We saw the space exploration, and it was very captivating and interactive, def give them a try. The customer service was topnotch, my check in process to redeem my go city tickets was probably the best out of all the Go city attractions.
