About Experience MARS

Picture
To celebrate the launch of the new groundbreaking series, National Geographic created an immersive consumer experience designed to push visitors to their mental and physical limits as they determine if they have what it takes to become part of the next wave of interplanetary colonists.
​
Set following the 2033 landing of Daedalus, the narrative of Experience MARS recruits visitors to take on a series of challenges to prove themselves worthy as part of the next crew bound for the Red Planet.

Infused with authentic history, artifacts and content and blended with series content and the aspirations of NASA, SpaceX and the entire human race, the experience inspired guests to imagine how we will make Mars home.
List of activities and features:
  1. Dome Shape Exhibit
  2. Fictional Information on Display
  3. Artifacts
  4. VR Experience
  5. Pressure Task Box
  6. Martian ID
  7. Habitat Unit

Dome

The branded dome on the site helped generate buzz in advance among thousands of daily passersby – driving interest and excitement for the grand opening.
 
From the moment guests approach the activation they will be struck by the amazing spectacle tied to the series and NGC.

VR Experience

​MARS Surface Walk
Guests will get the unique sensation of walking on Mars in 38% gravity via NASA-developed pressurized treadmills paired with a VR Martian surface walk.
