Embark on a virtual safari this winter as the Glow Marwell Event invites you to soar through the sky, dive under the ocean and roam the land via state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) headsets.
Throughout this year’s event, guests will be able to travel the world from the comfort of the zoo’s science and learning Centre. With the use of cutting-edge VR headsets, guests can explore the land, dive beneath the ocean, and soar through the sky, getting up close and personal with some of the most amazing creatures on the planet. The panoramic 360° views will put them right in the middle of the action and provide an unmatched perspective on how animals have adapted to survive in some of the toughest settings on Earth, from the tiniest ants to majestic elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, and gorillas.
Wild Immersion’s New Odyssey Around the World, connects people with the nature around them and is designed to inspire wonder in guests aged five and over. The running time of the film is approximately 10 minutes and guests will be seated throughout the film. The VR headset experience costs £5 per person and is only available to Glow Marwell guests. The film also complements the event’s enchanted nature theme.
Guests to this years Glow Marwell event can expect to be thrilled by exciting new light displays, more music than ever before and lots of tasty treats. They will get the opportunity to dive under the sea with our illuminated jellyfish, drift amongst neon clouds in the new sky zone warm up around our toasty firepits. And it wouldn’t be Glow Marwell without lots and lots of snow!
There will be a chance to become part of the magic at this year’s event with stunning UV face paints that glow under lights dotted around the park. Plus, Glow Marwell ticket holders can explore the zoo for free from 1-4pm on the date of their visit before we transform the park for an evening of illumination.
The VR headset experience will be available throughout Glow Marwell event dates and guests will need a valid Glow Marwell ticket to book the VR headset experience.
