What a cool experience! My group was welcomed by Aster and some amazing acting to get us into the story. You were then led into the VR spaceship room, which was the most insane experience! The VR was done so well, and I really enjoyed the immersiveness and the storyline. I actually wish the entire thing could've been VR. I thought the excitement kind of dwindled in the room with the test tubes, and also when we had to go outside to the parking lot to the third section of the experience, which just wasn't as amazing as the beginning. Some points to improve would be a more cohesive storyline, and making a tunnel in the parking lot area so it doesn't break up the visuals. I love escape rooms and the last challenge was pretty elementary, so I can understand that for families but I personally would like a more challenging ending. read more

"To the moon, Alice!" What a cool experience from start to finish! Our group arrived and we were welcomed by Aster and the creator of the Lunar Light Experience, granddaughter of Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa, Danielle Roosa. Meeting her and chatting about NASA and her grandfather (famous photo of astronauts playing golf on the moon) was the greatest welcome ever. The experience started with a walk to a moon vehicle where we strapped on some VR packs and proceeded to excavate moon rock for blue light from a meteor. After that we met a mad scientist and a lovely robot. Got to play in the lab. The escape room aspect of the event was simple and we got it done quite easily. I imagine this would be great for families with kids too. :) The end, of course, exits through the gift shop where you can get some super cool astronaut stuff. Even Apollo 14 shirts! I highly recommend you stop by and spend some time in the moon! Also, make sure you get your space photo op! I wore the right jacket for that. ;) Ps: Free parking! read more

Cool experience start to finish. Stuff like this is why I enjoy being Yelp Elite. I think it'd be a blast with older kids. Technology, escape room puzzle, and character actors doing a play all the way through. Takes a little over an Hour. Every station is a comfortable temp no need for jackets. You're wearing a backpack at a stage so wear sleeves. The Stars of the show are the Stars... the Actors commit and go through the whole thing in character it's amazing. They are all part of the emersion experience playing along is part of the fun. Story line starts in the lobby. Read the bios. read more

Really fun experience blending VR tech, space tech, storytelling, great performances, puzzles, and a bit of science as well! It's suitable for a variety of ages, and they have a Senior discount for the older kids too! The crew is super activated with a lot of energy to engage you on the journey. Make sure to give Cap'n Jack his kudos, and be careful on the moon! (Bring back an MRE!) read more

A very inspiring and interactive VR experience. If I was a kid it would motivate me to study science and feel one step closer to being an astronaut. Astor was so much fun, General Jackson was an inspiration leader, and Professor Stella guided us through a scientific breakthrough! DG3, more like R2D2! Will be back for the sequel! read more

The Lunar Light: Discovery - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Absolutely incredible interactive experience. The actors are A+ talents. You don't feel like they are actors. It truly feels like they are their character and you're part of this story line. Quality of production is definitely high end and the money you pay is for sure worth it. One of the best experiences I've had in a while. If you're a theatre kid or just live interactive stuff, it's the place to be. read more

The Lunar Light: Discovery - Our group ans the fantastic actors - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This was unique, fun, and trippy. The VR is great, the actors wonderful, and the experience well thought-out. Great for kids and very engaging for adults too. Our seven-year-old was captivated. Good basic educational problem solving/scientific thinking. Watch out for Stella in the lab--a stand-out character! Brilliant. read more

The Lunar Light: Discovery - Zero gravity, baby. - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This review is long overdue! As a Christmas gift for my family I booked us all a trip to the moon in January. We had a blast The experience was totally different than anything any of us had tried before. It was especially cool for my parents who had never tried VR or an escape room before! Those 2 elements along with the immersive role playing from the dedicated moon-base staff made for an exceptionally unique and memorable experience none of us will ever forget I must admit - as someone with professional tech experience, a lifelong passion for science, and some amateur improv chops, this was a bit of a Christmas gift for myself too The fact that I had as good a time as the rest of my family (who don't share those interests in the same way I do) is a testament to how great the experience is. TLDR there's a reason Lunar Light Discovery has a spotless 5.0 rating on both Yelp and Google. If you're on the fence about trying this... let this be your sign to just go for it!! read more

I've done Lunar Light Discovery twice now and I really love it! The actual arrival on the moon with VR is breathtaking!!! The immersive actors are fantastic and so entertaining. At some points I forgot I was physically with them because I felt like I was watching a really fun sci-fi/action comedy movie, even though they address us through the entire thing. My only critique is that I want more time, but that's what coming back is for ;) read more

So much fun! If you want a cool VR experience but also are into the arts and theater- this is for you. It's so much fun go with your friends or strangers. Guaranteed to be a good time. read more

Such a great experience!! I love that it's more than just a VR experience. It felt educational and fun! Also holy crap, so high end! It felt so well executed. I mean the robot was LEGIT. Most VR experiences are just VR and cheap and this has multiple rooms and is so much more. Experiential and hands on but also the VR is impressive. It could see my hands moving around! All around AMAZING!!! read more

This experience was amazing! The actors and sets make everything feel very immersive. As an astronomy nerd, the part where you feel like you're in a shuttle on the moon was breathtaking. The escape-room part wasn't too hard but challenging enough to be very satisfying. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially a group of pals or coworkers! read more

Was looking for something fun to do with my 12 y/o son on a lazy Saturday. Found The Lunar Light and we went. Great people who really gave the two of us a fantastic time with their characters! Totally worth it. The VR was excellent but the people give this place heart! read more

If you're looking for a fun activity for family members who like to be active - this is the place! From ordering tickets to event time, the Lunar Light team made it so smooth! We were given a warm welcome upon our arrival to "the Moon " , had a short wait where they had games to entertain us and then we were whisked away to our adventure! The staff were all in character- energetic, fun and friendly, gave clear instructions and were so entertaining and enthusiastic! The VR portion was the most fun and just the right amount of time -none of the ppl in our party with mild claustrophobia or sensitivity to motion sickness had any issues. We had the last time slot at 9pm and a party of 7. They added an 8th person (also a staff person or somehow related) who was great to help us by providing "responses/suggestions" along the way so that there were no delays. Huge thanks to Cap Jack, the amazing Stella (Academy there!), DG-33 and the crew for a great time! Ages 11-75 we all had a great time and would highly recommend you gather a group and get up to this "moon"! read more

Absolutely fun experience! Live theater, VR, interactive lab, and escape room all mixed into an intergalactic adventure. My only criticism is I wish everything was connected together to keep the illusion going. Maybe tents to create a biohazard tunnel. Overall still an amazing time. All the actors stay in character and are hilarious. If anyone gets stuck in the adventure or escape room the staff will gently guide or give hints for your success. Fun, friendly, and great experience for families, friends, and dates. read more

Wow wow wow such a fun experience! If you're in the santa monica area definitely come give this place a try. The acting was fun, the robot was adorable, and the VR space exploration was awesome!! read more

Had a great experience. Would highly recommend. workers were very nice and kind. Great for a family or couple experience.

What a unique, rare treat of an experience! My group really enjoyed the smorgasboard of experiences we had through our hour during Lunar Light. From the immersive theater-like experience (with FANTASTIC! actors who are great with improvisation and added a lot of humor), to a really satisfying escape room puzzle element, to the environment, photo ops, robot, and more! read more

I've done a lot of escape rooms and immersive experiences, and it's rare that one feels as "built with care" as this one does. Everything from the actors to the sets and more are all built with a lot of thought and it's a joy to experience from end to end. If you're on the westside and want a fun way to spend an hour, look no further. This place is awesome! read more

Sooo fun and creative!!!! Great for all ages. Mission to the moon is exciting. A fun adventure.

This was such a delightful experience. I was looking for something fun to do in Santa Monica, and a friend mentioned this interactive VR experience where you travel to the moon.

I would highly recommend doing this if you get the chance. read more
