Embarking on a Sinking Ship: Immersive Titanic Exhibit Coming to Denver in May

If you've ever had a morbid fascination with the Titanic and wondered what it would be like to be aboard that death trap of a ship in 1912, you can find out on solid ground in land-locked Denver.

Tickets are on sale now for Titanic: An Immersive Voyage, opening in May at Exhibition Hub Art Center Denver. The immersive experience will take passengers on a journey through the ship's construction to its fatal end with an iceberg. It's a fitting addition to the Mile High City, which has put itself on the map as a destination for the immersive, but also is home to the Molly Brown House Museum, where Margaret Brown (she never went by "Molly"), actually lived.

Is your jaw still hanging as you wonder why anyone would want to experience the horrors of the Titanic? Here's the answer to some of your questions.

What Is Titanic: An Immersive Voyage?

The exhibit's website advertises it as a "once-in-a-lifetime expedition to experience Titanic." The installation features more than 300 artifacts, dramatic re-creations, 3D videos and animations and immersive galleries in which participants can walk through the Titanic's halls, see the ship's construction and "come face-to-face with the Iceberg." A virtual reality option that tours the wreck site 2.5 miles beneath the sea is also included for guests over six years old. The entire experience takes sixty to ninety minutes.

The exhibit is produced by Fever and Exhibition Hub, a national outfit.

How Do I Get Tickets for Titanic: An Immersive Voyage in Denver?

Tickets can be purchased on the Fever website and app. They went on sale at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 3, and start at $25.

Where is Titanic: An Immersive Voyage?

The event is at Exhibition Hub Art Center Denver, 3900 Elati Street, which has become home not just to students attending schools on the Auraria Campus, but a variety of immersive installations. This will replace the current immersive experience, Bubble Planet, which closed at the end of March. The entire exhibit is indoors and free parking will be available (sorry, students).
