It’s a new kind of art+entertainment experience inspired by elements of large-scale Burning Man style art, immersive theater, escape room, children’s museum and haunted house.

Yes, all of the exhibits are handicap accessible! Some areas feature nooks and crannies that require crawling, dipping, ducking and dodging but these account for less than 5% of the exhibits and there are plenty of bypasses.

Visit the ‘Tickets’ page for details. We have switched to Timed Ticketing in order to minimize wait times and ensure everyone can experience Otherworld as intended. When purchasing a ticket you will be required to select an arrival time at checkout. If you purchased a ticket prior to March 2 then your ticket will still be honored for any date and time. Tickets are now available online only and will no longer be available for purchase at the door. Thanks for your understanding as we work to make your journey into the Otherworld the best it can be!

We’ll be open indefinitely! As long as people keep showing up we’ll keep making cool stuff.

If you are late for your ticket time we will try to fit you in at the next available time slot, but there are no guarantees. Worst case we can reschedule you for a later date.

Visit the ‘Tickets’ page for details.

We recommend arriving five minutes prior to your scheduled experience start time.

For sure. Take as many pictures and videos as you’d like, we just ask that you turn the flash off to avoid bothering other visitors.

Plan for your visit to range anywhere from 1-3 hours. This really depends on how interactive your group is getting and how deep you’re looking to go. You may explore for as long as you’d like, but you must arrive at your scheduled time.

We’re located at 5819 Chantry Drive, Columbus, OH 43232. More details and direction can be found here.
