Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a headset?
No! You wear lightweight 3D glasses, allowing you to see holograms and your family at the same time.
Are the animals real?
They are made of laser light! They look real and act real, but are digital. No animals are held in captivity.
Is it scary for children?
Not at all. The experience is designed for families. If a child takes off their glasses, they just see a normal room.
