In the Land of Oz

Step beyond the rainbow and into a twisted vision of Oz—where the Wizard is gone, but the nightmares remain

In the Land of Oz Immersive Event - Main Image

The yellow brick road is gone. What’s left is broken, bizarre...and calling your name! In the Land of Oz is a walk-through, immersive experience where the rules of story (and of Oz) don’t apply anymore. You won’t sit. You won’t passively watch. You’ll move through it, one surreal, eerie scene at a time. It starts at a roadside museum in Kansas, Hank Gale's Wonderful Museum of Oz: dusty displays, maybe fake artifacts, and a few too many unanswered questions. Then things start to shift. Cracks open. Lights flicker. Somewhere behind the velvet ropes is a door to the real Oz -- if "real" still means anything. Inside, you'll pass through a fractured landscape haunted by old legends and lost souls. A cursed farm. The camps of a rebel army, deeply entrenched in a war against the useless rulers of Oz. A courtyard of stone statues, in the shape of humans, that seem to move and twitch when your back is turned. Some characters want your help. Some want you gone. Some don’t know what they want...but they’re watching. This is immersive theatre reimagined: part story, part space, part fever dream. Built for bold audiences, powered by live actors, and designed to feel like you stepped into a living, breathing world that doesn’t quite want you there. It's not a haunted house, but you will have the chance to take in a brand new take on the familiar world of Oz, and all of the spooky elements that come with it. Perfect for theatre-lovers who enjoy experiences that push the boundaries, or spooky season thrill-seekers who crave more story than scream, and more atmosphere than jump scares. If you like your Halloween immersive, character-driven, and strange in all the best ways, this is for you! We recommend this adventure for ages 10+. Guests ages 10-12 must be accompanied by an adult.
