House of Eternal Return
What if you could enter a bowling alley and step into a whole other dimension?
With House of Eternal Return you can do just that!
What’s more- you have George R.R. Martin’s blessing, too.
In 2015, Martin bought a vacant bowling alley in Santa Fe and leased it to Meow Wolf.
This would go on to become their first permanent installation, spanning over 20,000 square
feet.
The area was converted into a reproduction of a two storey Victorian house.
Inside there are worlds of adventure awaiting you..
The story behind the installation goes like this: this house once belonged to the Selig
family.
In an attempt to bring back their dead family members, they experimented with interdimensional
travel.
Things went horribly wrong, and they disappeared forever.
Their experiments caused pathways between different worlds to open up inside their house.
In order to keep all this quiet, the government now passes off this house as an ‘immersive
experience’ to visitors.
This house has more than 70 rooms, each one featuring a different cosmic world.
All the rooms are interconnected.
Visitors enter a portal through a refrigerator, and are then left to uncover the mystery on
their own.
There are secret passageways that lead to portals which include, but are not limited
to, enchanted forests with colorful glowing trees and tree houses, magical luminescent
caves, space-age corridors, and ranches powered by hamsters.
The doorways to portals are hidden in the strangest places- inside oven doors and fireplaces.
The rooms are trippy and mind-bending.
There is a room in which the walls seem to be liquid.
Run your hands along them, and watch as they bend and move.
There is a ceiling with eyes of all shapes and colors stuck to it.
Don’t forget to enter Grandpa Selig’s study, the place where he toiled for hours
and hours to unravel all the secrets related to interdimensional travel.
The installation also includes a music venue.
It received the 2017 Thea award from the Themed Entertainment Association, and is known as
one of the best music venues in the US.
House of Eternal Return provides a unique experience, one where you aren't just a spectator
of art, but a participant.
It is trippy, it is bizarre, it is magnificent!
Don’t forget to check out their new features such as the gift shop, and the cool sea monster
hand sanitizer.
This attraction is suitable for all age groups, and should certainly be on your bucket list!
Take caution before you step inside, though.
You might never return.
Meow Wolf’s Kaleidoscape
Located at the Elitch Gardens Theme Park in Denver, Colorado, is yet another of Meow Wolf’s
mind-bending installations.
It is not just a dark ride, it is an “art ride,” a roller coaster for the mind.
In fact, it is the first artist-driven dark ride in the world.
Known as a “hallucinogenic gallery of neon art,” this ride truly does take you on a
psychedelic journey filled with color!
The story is that passengers are taking a ride through the multiverse through public
transport.
As you might have noticed, the exploration of parallel universes is a recurring theme
in their installations.
In this ride, riders are said to help a tiny point of light in its journey towards becoming
a planet-sized object.
They do this by using semi-quantum technology.
Kaleidoscape begins with the doors opening into darkness.
Suddenly, there is a pink cloud of dust.
Out of an egg hatches the tiny point of light, and the journey begins.
Over the course of the ride, the point of light multiples and expands, becoming a fully
grown landscape.
All the mechanical attractions and psychedelic animatronics are magnificent!
It provides a truly immersive experience in which all your senses are engaged, and you
are actually a part of the story that is unfolding before you.
Keeping in with the idea of the riders entering different universes, this ride features bizarre
and strange creatures- ones that you will never encounter on Earth.
It is amazing to think that you are literally travelling through artist designed landscapes.
The deep background sounds pair up beautifully with the stunning colors that explode in your
vision.
Many of the animatronics are very interactive.
There is so much to take in, so much detail put into each landscape.
This is a ride that you need to take multiple times to soak it all up.
One of the best things about the Meow Wolf attractions is that they can be enjoyed by
people of all ages.
Their mission is to make art that connects with people, regardless of their age.
They also have a gift shop nearby where you can take home all the strange and wonderful
creatures from the ride.
What’s is Meow Wolf?... and Why’ so strange
Omega Mart
Omega Mart, yet another art installation by Meow Wolf, takes visitors on yet another experience,
this time to a supermarket.
But this is no ordinary supermarket.
This is a supermarket inhabited by strange creatures and will take you to strange lands
through portals.
Open a refrigerator, and you might just find yourself stepping inside a portal.
Omega Mart is located in the Area 15 complex in Las Vegas, and is built just like a grocery
store.. but with cool surprises!
The aisles are stocked with seemingly-normal products.
But look closer, and you will find that the products have cool and bizarre names.
There are cereal boxes named “Simply does not contain Spiders,” pear sodas called
“Future Fantasy Delight,” and Home Fresheners that smell like butter with the words “Who
told you this was butter?
Do not eat!”
There are hundreds and hundreds of products like this, each with clever and funny names.
And the best part?
You can actually purchase these products!
The amount of detail that has gone into this is truly awe-inspiring.
You can get lost here for hours and hours.
When it comes to Omega Mart, you truly have no idea what’s in store.
The background story is that there is something strange going on at the grocery store, an
evil parent organization during evil things.
The corporation has stumbled upon a source of energy more powerful than anything in the
world.
This energy is the source of all creativity and imagination.
There are strange colorful spills in between the aisles.
But the clean-up cannot be handled by any Earthly cleaning products.
There is an entire deli section with art made out of meat!
The narrative behind it is that an artist became tired of the contemporary art scene,
and wanted to work with pure materials.
And the medium chosen for this was.. meat.
From a distance, it looks like a normal deli.
But by now you should have learned not to judge anything in Omega Mart from a distance.
There are many organ-shaped food items: hearts, lungs, brains.
Some of the items also give a nod to classical art.
There is a Botticelli’s Birth of Venus made completely out of olives, pastrami, bacon,
and cream cheese.
Apart from the deli, Omega Mart also has a secret bar, Datamosh, which serves eight specialty
cocktails which are very creative.
You can always approach an Omega Mart employee, if you ever get lost.
The whole installation is elaborate and phenomenal.
You can enter inside fireplaces and find yourself at the entrance to a glowing cave, where you
can use a rope to climb up.
In one of the rooms, there are three pipe-like slides, so you get a tiny bit of that park
experience too.
If we could use one world to describe this place, it would be “whimsical.”
For those of us who have dreamed about going to parallel universes, this is the closest
we may ever come to doing that.
Meow Wolf’s installations combine art and storytelling with fantasy quite wonderfully.
The stories inside these installations are non-linear.
They get unfolded the more you explore.
Meow Wolf uses many local artists for their installations.
Every single inch is covered with art.
We have to applaud their dedication and commitment to giving people a truly other-worldly experience.
If you ever get a chance to be part of these immersive experiences, don’t miss it!
After all, it’s not every day that you can travel through time.
