Throughout the exhibit there were performers doing their crazy things. Two of my favorite passageways was through a washing machine door (I know! Super crazy right?) and one through the refrigerator. It was even more confusing with the 3D glasses we wore through it. The whole place was basically psychedelic art installations with trap doors and passegeways connecting them. It was a magical place that started out inside a house and led into all kinds of fantasy places such as a cloud world, a campground, an ice land, the Bermuda Triangle, a tide pool and so many more. What a cool and totally bizarre place it was! The whole place was dimly lit and had endless passageways and secret entrances and exits some large and some so small I had to twist and turn my body to fit through the crevices. As we saw others collecting clues by sifting through pages upon pages of documents we knew we had made the right choice. You can opt to go through collecting clues and solving a mystery but that sounded like it was too advanced for our girls. We knew it was our time to leave when we started getting dizzy on stimulus overload! Wait a minute, this is just the bathroom hallway. You can stay for as long as you’d like, but as we found, there is a limit to what your body can handle there. It sounded fun though so we signed up! When you get tickets you buy them for a specific time slot, this is just so that they have different waves of people coming in at a time. Only the vague spacey general information they gave on their website. We didn’t quite know what to expect when we entered Meow Wolf. Tickets are now available for pre-purchase starting at $50 for General Admission ($45 for Children).What on earth is Meow Wolf? And what kind of name is that anyway? Well, I’ll tell you the name sounds fitting after you have been to this strange world! The company plans to open another location in Houston’s Fifth Ward in 2024. The creative energy of The Real Unreal extends beyond the physical, and leads to a potential unlimited host of cosmic side-effects.” Every element in the exhibition weaves together a tapestry of characters, stories, and worlds. The Real Unreal has been in the works for years and takes a bold step forward in Meow Wolf’s evolution of art and storytelling.As Senior Vice President and Executive Creative Director Dale Sheehan said, “When participants step into The Real Unreal, they start a cosmic odyssey where surprises await around every corner, and each discovery sparks its own story. Artists of all forms – including muralists, sculptors, photographers, undermallers, and video game designers – have collaborated on a unique installation that will immerse visitors in a captivating narrative. Meow Wolf Grapevine brings together 150 artists and fabricators, including 38 from Texas, who have created the artistic installations making up 70 unique and captivating experiences within The Real Unreal. In addition to the exhibition, The Real Unreal will also include a cafe, retail store, and venue for live events. The experience encourages visitors to explore different dimensions of perspective and creativity through more than 30+ rooms of multidimensional art and compelling narrative.Ī missing boy, a chosen family, and Hapulusgarrulus Lophoaquaflori all lie at the center of The Real Unreal’s story, conceived by author LaShawn Wanak. The Real Unreal is a journey through a technicolor wonderland that blends storytelling, technology, and immersive art. I’ve explored Meow Wolf’s experiences in Santa Fe and Las Vegas, and WOW are these cool! Nothing is what it seems - refrigerator doors are entrances to worm holes, washing machines open to slides, and keys to solving the mysterious narrative are hidden in plain sight. Called “The Real Unreal,” the exhibition will open on Friday, July 14 at Grapevine Mills. Meow Wolf, the Santa Fe-based arts and entertainment company known for its immersive and interactive experiences, is opening a funhouse in Grapevine this summer.
