National Geographic Encounter:
Itenerary
Your Encounter journey begins as a guided tour, where you'll experience a battle between two Humboldt squid, visit a luminous coral reef at night, and more.
Once you “swim” through a kelp forest, you’ll continue at your own pace, as you find yourself in the middle of a magnificent feeding frenzy and get up-close with a life-sized 50-foot humpback whale.
You’ll then dive even deeper on your adventure in Exploration Hall. Hear breathtaking stories from National Geographic photographers and deep-sea explorers. Take on ocean gaming challenges. Learn about the sea’s greatest wonders and mightiest creatures. And discover how you can be a champion for our oceans in everyday life.
VR World NYC:
Types of Experiences
There are a wide variety of experiences for all types of people.
Some will enjoy shooting droids in space and fighting off zombies to racing on a track, while others will enjoy flying on a paraglider or climbing a mountain. Others still will enjoy watching short films or painting in the green room. Some experiences require full body motion while others are seated activities.
Queues
Each participant gets approximately 5-10 minutes at each experience.
Most experiences have a tablet that keeps track of the queue for that experience. Participants can only wait in one queue at a time. However, there are some experiences that have no queue and can be done at any time, even while waiting in a queue for something else.
Participants who checked in a with their own phone number will receive a text message when it is their turn in line
Checking in
At the gate, each participant will sign up using their real name, a screen name, an email, a phone number, and other pieces of information. While not required, if a participant signs up with their own phone number, they will receive a notification when they are at the the front of the queue for their attraction.
After this process, participants will be given a wristband that will be used to check into the queue at any VR experience and are free to explore the entire space.
Food and Drink
There are offering a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks, beer, wine and liquor. Our house cocktails will not disappoint. Try the VRWorldian, Simon’s Escape, Caipirinha Assassin or Salty Borzoi to name just a few. No food at this time.
There is no food inside the building, but guests are able to leave and re-enter the building during the time of their ticket.
