[ATTENDED: August 17, 2023] Otherworld Philadelphia
I had gotten an ad on Instagram for something called Otherworld. There was very little information about what it was, but it seemed like an immersive interactive art exhibit. My kids have both been to Meow Wolf in Denver and I imagined it would be something like that: Rooms where you looked at things and touched things and just marveled at everything around you.
Even some of the proper reviews of the place were deliberately vague. This was pretty much everything from ABC 6 News online:
“Otherworld” features more than 55 rooms and large-scale installations. Guests of all ages can roam at their own pace through the 40,000-square-foot location. More than 100 artists are working on the project.
So I purchased early bird tickets at a reduced rate and took the day off work and we headed into Philly (there’s AMPLE parking!!!)
We walked in and my first thought was (having just been to a Flaming Lips concert) that this building must be what the inside of Wayne Coyne’s head is like.
It was fantastic. (more…)
