The joy I feel right now is hard to express! We can for my friends birthday π₯³ and after being cooped up in my apartment for so longβthis was amazing!!! Itβs very clean and I felt totally safe!! The team here is so friendly and helped us take cool pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Such an amazing experience and so many instagram worthy pics! Im sure my boyfriend got tired of taking so many pictures but it was all worth it! If youre ever in Austin, I definitely recommend this cute place. Also, theres a bar literally in the front so thats a huge plus!
I came here with a small group of friends and had a great time! Aside from the beautiful, diverse and elaborate decorations, one of my favorite things was the control panel that manipulates the video projection on the wall. There are so many combinations, and I spent what felt like 30 minutes playing with it, so make sure to try that thing if you go! I also really loved hanging out with the group in the forest area. They keep expanding it, so I need to check it out again soon.
I would highly recommend checking this place out. You can spend as much time as you want, but the total experience will be about 20-30 minutes. Itβs a fun and trippy place to get lost in your imagination. There are also fun interactive activities anyone to have fun and enjoy. :)
This is truly an amazing experience. A wonderful adventure that transports you into a break from our current reality. While you are following the story line through this maze the reassurance of safety was everywhere. There were stations with hand sanitizer placed all around and the self paced maze allowed safe distance from others. We saw a staff member go around and wipe down areas after people would step away. Definitely a must see if you havenβt already.
This place is AMAZING for content creators/photographers/videographers.Small groups at a time make it way more personal and easier to film! Plus the bar outside is great for making the night even more fun!Felt very clean with covid going around, loved the sanitizer at every corner.
First time coming to mesmerize and I was pleasantly delighted. I found something for everyone to do here, and I felt like this is an amazing time to immerse yourself in the moment and check out something cool eclectic art. We loved the displays and I would totally recommend coming here - wether itβs by self or with family and friends. 10/10
Definitely someplace to go after the 2020 year we have had. Block off about 40 minutes or so to go through, it depends on how much you interact. Leaves you serene and thoughtful afterwards. It has a thread of a story but its something of what you make it. Im not normally one to be into this kind of thing but it was still an interesting place and I would recommend it.
This place was a cool experience. Definitely thought it was overpriced though. I feel like it was worth maybe $15. Itβs less than an hour. You can finish it in less than 30. The rooms were really cool and itβs an experience. Youβll definitely want to take photos!
Dont get me wrong it was very interesting but dont expect to be there for the full hour even if you do read the journal pages you can still breeze through it in like 40 mins keep in mind thats taking your time. I would probably rate 4 stars but the price point of 57$ for two people is honestly extremely steep for what you end up getting.
Mesmerize was one mesmerizing experience!! No cap, it was so much fun. Shout out to all the amazing local artist who put this this together! If youre in Austin Texas looking for something to do, this is definitely the place to spend your time! Itβs a great place for amazing pictures and to appreciate good art.
This is a great installation, good 30 minutes well spent here. Definitely overpriced because the space is really small, and Iβm speaking as someone who has been to Meow Wolf twice. It was almost $60 for 2 people (including ticket fees) and we spent around half an hour before we finished everything. If Iβm not wrong Meow Wolf is many times the size of this and the ticket there is $18 or so.Completely understand supporting the artists and Iβm happy to have done that. Probably would have left feeling even better if the ticket was $10-15 instead of $25 each.
This place was super cute. We were in town for a day & decided on trying this place , thanks to tik tok. I loved it and I highly recommend it. It was fun & different. It gives you a feeling of never wanting to leave. Itβs worth a visit if youβre in the area. It is a little pricey , ($25 a ticket ) but in my opinion itβs all art & itβs an art you can experience; which justifies the idea that you canβt really put a price on someone elseβs art. So the price is something worth the visit.
Ahh I had the most amazing experience!It felt so good to truly get away from all the nonsense going on in our world today. The moment I stepped foot into mesmerize I was astonished. An enlightenment experience! An escape! Plus all the amazing photos and videos you can take π Thank you Mesmerize! β¨
I came here for my birthday in January from San Antonio and havenβt been out out since COVID and had concerns about safety but really needed to get away for the weekend before I lost my mind and not only was everything clean and careful but social distancing was on point definitely 6ft away from people bc the layout is so spread out. Now to the best part, you leave your world and worries behind you for awhile.You enter a dimension of space and time and a path of everything in between. On a journey to where? Youβll have to find out. Just open the doorS.
Mesmerize was an amazing experience that really captured all of my senses and transported me to pockets of different worlds.I especially enjoyed the incorporation of a story that tied the worlds together. All in all its a must see experience that I would recommend to locals and people visiting Austin. Also the staff is attentive and informative the cherry on top. Its truly art you can become a part of.
If youre going with the expectation of Meow Wolf, you may be disappointed. This is a fun Instagram farm, but its not really very immersive.Still, you have to appreciate the good work that artists are doing if you want there to be enough money in order for them to be able to make more immersive work, and so I think its worth checking out Mezmerize as long as you approach it with the right expectations.

2020-12-31A really fun immersive art gallery. Plenty of great photo ops but the lighting is a little dim. The best lighting for photos is in the long white hallway when it is lit up with colors and the blue room (theres a bright spotlight in there). Great place to spend time with friends and enjoy an alternate universe!Enjoy our photo gallery and feel free to reach out if you or anyone you know needs help buying or selling real estate!

2021-04-11Very engaging and smile-invoking. Lots of insight and skill was put in by the artists (despite the 3 month timetable) which leaves the participants with a thought-provoking experience.

2020-09-07Mesmerize has been making temporary interactive art installments for years, building them for private parties and events. Really cool to see them get a more permanent home at The Native ππ₯
