This was my third time visiting this venue and I have to say, it's really grown on me. My last visit here we checked out the Disney immersive experience and, if it's still running as you read this, go see it because was amazing! I'm not a huge Disney fan but, who doesn't love Aladdin, Wreck-It Ralph, Snow White, and the entire Encanto familia singing loud ballads from floor to ceiling? My wife is a huge Disney person and absolutely love this and wants to come back for a second trip. Also, this is the first time I've been to an immersive experience, and I've actually liked the merchandise they have for sale in the lobby. We definitely walked out with a few Mickey Mouse mugs and some coloring books for the kids. This place is hard to find on your first visit as the entrance is located on the back of the building, facing the parking garage. By the way, the parking garage at faces that's all free parking for guests of the Lighthouse Art Space. This place is in the bustling neighborhood of Green Hills, so there are plenty of places to eat afterwards. Have fun! read more

The thought put into this is immaculate. I am a sucker for Christmas themed activities, so when the opportunity to come to this as Yelp Elite came about, I had to sign up. Parking is free, there is a huge garage right there or street parking so no need to worry about where to leave your car. I highly suggest going upstairs to see the show as well as look at the cool mirror type structures up there that make the experience look even cooler. I can't wait for the next immersive experience, hoping for the Disney one to pop up on Yelp Elite events!! read more

Ok I'm a sucker for anything Christmas-themed, came for the Nutcracker Immersive Experience and it was a hit! The artistry and technology that went into making this possible is enough for me to say you and your family need to attend. The storyline from start to finish was fun and captivating. Loved that the audio wasn't blasting that I was still able to talk to my mom throughout the experience. (+earbuds are available). There are benches to sit while watching as well as cushions available at the front for preferred ground-sitters. Liked the two large rooms design because we got to meet new people! Souvenir shop available at the end: (AND it's up to 75% off on items, like c'mon now). Parking is available for FREE.99 in the garage. The cinematography took it over the edge, but honestly, the service? The staff? You all are gems. so so kind and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was awesome. Overall, 11/10. From the appreciation of art to the feeling of community, guaranteed persons of all ages will enjoy this! read more

The day before, I was pumping gas across the street and noticed a sign for Immersive Van Gogh. Although I have done this experience twice in Toronto (drive-thru and walk-in), I was intrigued. I got back to the hotel a few hours later and booked my ticket. It was straightforward. I paid online and was able to immediately download my ticket. I booked a 3 pm visit. It was recommended to come twenty minutes before or after the event start time. I had booked this Immersive Van Gogh experience at the Lighthouse ArtSpace on my final full day in Nashville. I drove over to the Lighthouse ArtSpace. There is a parking lot across from the main entrance. It is covered parking and is free. Double bonus! I parked and headed inside. I had a woman quickly greet me. It was not enough time for me to take any photos. She scanned my ticket on my phone. She then gave me a brief tour on where everything was. I thanked her and took me time absorbing everything. You can get a cushion to make sitting on the floor more comfortable. Since I was there in the afternoon, there were plenty of benches to sit down and enjoy the experience. It does repeat, so I probably got my money's worth by seeing the show a few times. In Toronto, I loved the drive-thru experience. I felt safe and relaxed in my car. The walk-in one was free with my drive-thru ticket. I did not like it as much, mainly because we were still wearing masks and no one was physically distancing, which made me highly uncomfortable. Although masking isn't required here, everything was spaced out better. I found it far more enjoyable on the main floor, sitting there and soaking up the artwork and imagery with the closest person perhaps twenty feet away from me. I went upstairs to check it out. It was gorgeous with mirrored, thin beams and a shiny floor. I watched the show again and loved it better upstairs. This immersive experience stands out thanks to how friendly and accommodating staff were. An older male staffer offered to take my photo. I had to give him a crash course on using my phone. He was kind and did a great job. I then headed over to a large Van Gogh portrait out of the dark second floor area where the show was. This male staffer offered to take my photo in front of this portrait, too. He was the best and I was truly appreciative of his kind gesture. I am not a selfie person, so I was relieved to not take multiple shots of me to get one decent one out of the batch! I headed downstairs where there was a small artists-in-residence area. You can learn about local artists and their work being featured. If you like anything that you see, you can also buy it. The gift shop is also on the main floor. I recognized some items from the Toronto gift shop, but a lot were new to me. I ended up getting a bottle opener that dubs as a magnet. I also got a couple of face masks. I kept one, but knew that my friend would love one with Van Gogh's work. I also got a couple of stickers. There was a sale going on. I ended up with five items and saved 35%. Yay! The man and I had a nice chat. He liked hearing about how I felt about the now two places where I have seen Immersive Van Gogh. He was genuinely interested. I got the impression that every staff member that I spoke to truly loved their job here. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth sailing. He put everything in a small bag. I thanked him and left with my momentos. A word of caution: You need to be careful leaving the building and heading to the parking lot. I nearly got run over by a car that was going way too fast. I had some choice words for the jerk, which is uncharacteristic for me, but they present themselves when you jeopardize my health and safety. You should not be speeding in this area when you are clearly not on a street. I had a great time experiencing the Immersive Van Gogh show. I liked it much better here, thanks to how relaxed and spacious things were, along with interacting with friendly, helpful staff. (353) read more

This is a fun experience to check out this Christmas season, especially if your have smaller children. Upon check in, the friendly staff gives you a cushion to borrow while you visit. There is very limited seating within the viewing rooms so the cushion is a nice addition as you may be sitting on the ground. We walked down a long hallway with interactive screens that were Nutcracker themed, that lead to the immersive rooms. There are a couple viewing rooms, but they project the same show so I recommend getting a spot in the largest room to get the full immersive experience. The show is about 20 minutes or so and goes through the Nutcracker storyline. We noticed a few families with small children and they were having a blast running around, so the whole experience seemed a lot more immersive for them, which is why I recommend this as a fun family day. You can spend as much time as you'd like, which is nice that you aren't rushed. We visited on a double date with friends, no kids, and we enjoyed the experience, but this isn't something we'd pay full price for again due it just being projections in a big room with no other activities or different shows offered. Apart from the Nutcracker projection show and a couple scenes for photos, that's all that the experience offers. We went on a Sunday morning and there wasn't a Nutcracker character meet and greet (must have read the website wrong), just the life-sized statue to take pictures with. Be sure to check out the upstairs viewing room since it has some cool mirror structures that make for really cool videos as you walk through. All-in-all, I think this is a great experience for kids, especially since the Nutcracker can be enjoyed by all ages. I think this is the only experience of its kind, so if you have kids who are really into visual stimulation, this is a must-see. read more

We visited the Lighthouse ArtSpace in November of 2022 for a showing of The Immersive Nutcracker. Located in the Belle Meade neighborhood, the parking is plentiful with free garage access and street parking too. The show runs about 35 minutes but expect to spend 1 hour to enjoy touring the space and gift shop. The Immersive Nutcracker is similar to an IMAX show in a more unique atmosphere. The art space was hosting three shows at the time of our visit; King Tut, VanGogh, and Nutcracker. All exhibits have beautifully displayed pieces showcased throughout the building. The gift shop had VanGogh and King Tut merchandise 75-90% off to make room for the Disney show opening in February. The Immersive Nutcracker is extremely family friendly and young children in attendance were mesmerized. I highly recommend a visit to The Lighthouse ArtSpace! read more

What a beautiful event! I originally canceled my tickets after the date was delayed several times, but then decided I wanted to celebrate my birthday here. About 40 minutes and it repeats so if you get there in the middle you can hang out. Take a bag with a blanket so you can sit on the floor. There are some benches, but that is prime real-estate. I vote basic tickets unless you want a poster and sit on flat mats. Brilliantly put together with the music and the full experience. Great date night or solo event! read more

Went here to experience the Disney immersion. It was fun, a little pricey for what it is. I would get there maybe 20-30min early in order to read through things and do the little activities they have while you are waiting to enter. The experience has fun music, the floor is interactive so if you can go during a less busy time it's great because the kids can move around during the show and play with the different elements going on. Gift shop doesn't have anything great or original in it so that is easy to skip read more

Again an amazing experience watching the immersive Nutcracker. Music was amazing Nutcracker. The dancing was beautiful. My daughter and I adore the Nutcracker and usually watch it every year. This experience was so fun. It wasn't crowded so that was great. They had plenty of space as it was huge, so while there were a nice group of people there we had plenty of space to experience all of the exhibits. Totally worth it and the staff is amazing and friendly. Oh and the gift shop, amazing and they have the BEST sales. Hurry up and go before the exhibit leaves!! read more

This experience was really special! I just wish it was more accessible. We got tickets on sale for Mother's Day and got them with cushions to sit on (essentially necessary if you ask me). This kind of ticket (I think VIP) also came with Van Gogh posters. The show plays for about 30 minutes, but you can watch it however many times you want. read more

What a great space! We came to see the "Immersive Van Gogh" experience courtesy of a Yelp! event. I was instantly impressed by the venue staff when a last minute illness prompted us to reschedule and we were able to find a date that worked via email very quickly. So appreciated! We arrived to find (free!) parking on site in a parking garage--this is not a guarantee in Nashville for ANY event, so this was another point in Lighthouse's favor immediately. I had been slightly confused about how timing works for these exhibits--I was under the impression (for some reason) that admittance to the immersive exhibit was only allowed every hour on the hour (hence the time on your tickets). We had VIP tickets, which allow a flex time of plus/minus an hour arrival. We mistakenly thought we had to wait until the hour but found when we came in at 5:30 we could go right on in as the exhibit runs on a loop (approx. 35 mins?). There's a small room for viewing, a much larger room, and a balcony. Each vantage point offers a different perspective. The Van Gogh presentation has great music, and the overall experience is truly hypnotic. I think a person with a mild interest in art who wouldn't set and look at a painting for more than a second could be truly drawn into experiencing the work in this manner. Also, there's a hallway exhibit that provides a timeline and overview of Van Gogh's life and places his work in context that you can review before viewing the exhibit to give it more impact. Lastly, the staff were super helpful and kind and the gift shop is worth checking out. We'll be back for a future exhibit--maybe the King Tut exhibit that is forthcoming? read more

The space was really open and laid out well. Other than the entrance with the gift shop space you will find stairs that will take you to the upper level to see over into the gallery. The Immersive Van Gogh experience was quick (about 45 minutes) but very relaxing. Definitely worth a visit, but skip the expensive tickets, they aren't worth it, and really offer no justification other than a lame poster and a thin cushion to sit on that you have to return to get the poster. read more

This place is pretty cool and the concept of immersion is perfect. But you have to choose the right things.

This place was absolutely amazing! The screens in so many different sizes, gave a fabulous view of the exhibit that I had gone to see. The gift shop was absolutely overflowing with wonderful gifts that I picked up for friends and family as well. Definitely recommend the nutcracker experience for other people with children, it was super family, friendly, and very colorful. read more

We saw the Vincent Van Gogh experience. Really awesome experience. Be sure to listen to the podcast on the website prior to going. It ties the whole experience together. Really enjoyed the theatre. Will be back for other artists. read more

The location is good, the space is nice, and the staff was incredibly helpful. We saw the Van Gogh exhibit here, which was good but not great, at least based on our expectations. But the space itself was very nice and I would certainly return for another exhibit. read more

First time goer, we got tickets for the king tut experience. Overall I enjoyed learning about the history and it's very beautiful! Recommend if you enjoy art of any kind. read more

Not the best value for the price and the shows seem to be thrown together with whoever is available in a space where it doesn't quite look or sound right. These are the kind of displays you would skip at an amusement park unless you just wanted to get out of the weather. Save your money and get a home projector with a better sound bar. They need to seriously consider doing something about how their customers hear sounds versus letting the walls echo so badly that it's just noise. read more

We will never get back the 30 minutes and $60 we wasted while visiting the King Tut Immersive Exhibit. It was a unique way to show an expansive movie but that is where the good parts end. We stood, because there were only 1/3 of the needed benches, to watch a mythical movie that was utterly disappointing. The graphics were unique at times but it was truly an animation that never showed a true picture of King Tut or the artifacts. It talked more about the "gods" then it did of King Tut's life. We briefly walked through the gift shop after but it was so very over priced and we didn't want to give any more to this place or exhibit. The staff were all very nice but the exhibit was terrible! read more

Very disappointing. There is no context or explanation of Van Gogh's art except for a few paragraphs on a wall by the entrance. The show is just the (seemingly random) use of some software that stretches and moves the paint lines so the image seems to move. Add a bunch of dissolves and some lovely music and that's it. There's no theme or chronological sense to it. There's a different similar show playing around. Wish we got that instead. read more

OUCH!!! Thanks for the tinnitus. Only wish it could have been even louder so my ear drums burst. Sadly I could have damaged my ears for free. Visually pretty cool. Overall, incredibly overrated! read more

$45 each for an hour of boredom. 6 benches (2 person benches) for over 40 people... but if you pay an extra $15 they will rent you cushion to sit on, on the floor. read more

I paid for the premium tickets to see the immersive king tut experience. The tickets specifically said my group and i would have an hour of cushion time to either be late or early. The reason this option attracted me was because i had to drive about 2 hours to get to the exhibit, we ended up being 30 minutes late. We went into the exhibit and it ended within what felt like 20 minutes. And even though the employees saw that we didnt get our money's worth, they didnt do a single thing and just showed us the door. So instead of king tut, our group experienced a loss of over 600$ and full tanks of gas. Thanks Lighthouse Artspace read more

Don't waste your time OR money. If I could give this 'experience' a -5, I would The King Tut immersion was a total waste of time and money. It was 30 minutes of graphics, however impressive they were, but really had nothing to do with King Tut. It showed how any pharaoh MIGHT have gone through the underworld after death. There was nothing about the tomb. There was nothing about his life. Add insult to injury: I traveled TWO hours to get there.I cannot remember a worse waste of time and/or money. And to make matters worse, they had the audacity to charge for the 1" thick seat cushion. There was no need for one, and when I added it to the purchase, I thought it would be a lot longer and therefore necessary read more

This space is a money trap. I just paid $100 for 2 people to watch a 30 minute animation of King Tut. No artifacts. No actual facts. Although it inferred that artifacts are there. Marketing ploy. All a smoke screen. Total waste of money. My wife and I are both handicapped and we had to stand for the whole video. Do not go unless you like wasting money. read more

We had tickets for a 10am schedule today 8/13/2022. We got their 15 minutes early and took pictures on our walk into the main open area. We sat and watched a showing of Van Goghs paintings that was displayed on a wall by projectors. After about 15-20 min of the display, we walked around expecting more, but that was far from the case. We went upstairs where it was just basically and overview of where we were sitting below. We went to the gift store and looked around. We looked all around for real paintings displayed on the wall but only found 3 in the front lobby. I asked one of the staff if we are missing anything else and the staff confirmed that everything we have done is it. I was already getting frustrated before asking. The confirmation just made the experience much worst. I can't believe I spent the amount of money I did for this experience. Definitely memorable in the worst way. I do not recommend and regret it. Thanks for reading. read more
