EASTON, Pa. — Throughout October, the newly opened Hologram Zoo Lehigh Valley will be offering a spooky experience in addition to its usual exhibits.
Visitors are usually immersed in lifelike animal encounters, but with this Halloween experience, they’ll find themselves facing their fears instead.
Featuring haunted castles, eerie forests, and more, guests will feel as though they’ve stepped right into their favorite scary movie.
The zoo is composed of a tunnel, two exhibit rooms, and an overhead display. Utilizing top-grade holographic screens and specialized 3D glasses, visitors will experience different visuals and immersive audio at each stopping point.
Advanced holographic technology makes monsters and creatures appear to be reaching out of walls, up through the floor, or down through the ceiling. Led by a lighted railing, small groups cycle through this series five times, with the whole show lasting around 30 minutes.
Tickets to the Halloween zoo experience also include a Photo Studio group session, where visitors can take themed photos and videos that can be instantly downloaded by scanning a QR code.
They’ll also receive a Projectogram gift—a hologram card and a pair of red and blue 3D glasses—that allows guests to take the 3D experience home with them. During the last week of October, kids will also receive a Halloween goodie bag.
In addition to the Halloween zoo experience, visitors can take advantage of the Spooky Special Bundle, which adds on the year-round Monsters Escape Room at a discounted rate. This two-part, 30-minute holographic escape room immerses guests in scenarios featuring Frankenstein and Dracula.
The rooms can accommodate up to five people, and every participant will get a turn to help solve the mystery.
With ferocious werewolves, creepy clowns, and crawling spiders, the Hologram Zoo recommends this Halloween experience for ages eight and above—guests should be prepared for a jumpscare or two.
However, with the zoo rotating its experiences quarterly, guests can expect an all-ages experience this upcoming Christmas season, running from Nov. 15 to Jan. 5.
