A FAMILY OUTING
A family activity in Lyon
Not an activity children do while their parents wait: here everyone steps into the same adventure, at the same time.
See available slotsWhat changes
Everyone plays, nobody watches
Most family outings split the ages: the children have fun, the parents wait. At Immersia Lyon, up to 16 people wear a headset at the same time and move freely around the same 350 m² space. You see each other, you talk to each other, you move through the story together.
The immersion is open from age 8 (and from 1.30 m tall). A session lasts 40 minutes: 10 minutes of welcome and briefing with our team, then 30 minutes of immersion. No previous experience of virtual reality is needed - most of our visitors discover VR with us.

Good to know before you come
The questions parents ask
From what age?
From age 8 and from 1.30 m tall. Children stay under an adult's supervision throughout the session.
Is it frightening?
Our experiences rely on exploration and wonder, not on fear. A child can stop at any time, accompanied by an adult.
What if we have never tried VR?
Our team adjusts the headsets and explains everything before you set off. It is designed for beginners.
How long should we allow?
40 minutes in total, including 30 minutes of immersion. Arrive a little early to drop off your belongings.
The experience
A journey children talk about on the way home
The Echo of the Universe takes the whole family from the solar system to the search for life on distant exoplanets: Mars and its craters, the TRAPPIST-1 system, the birth of stars, the black holes at the heart of galaxies.
The experience was developed with Dr Pierre Henriquet, astrophysicist: what your children see rests on real scientific data. It is an outing you talk about that evening, not just an hour of entertainment.
