An Immersive Rainforest Experience in Queens

Climate Week 2024 provided us the incredible opportunity to work with the  New York Hall of Science in Queens building out an in person Virtual Rainforest Experience .

Rainforest Immersive Announcement

For five days, New Yorkers and visitors alike were treated to the unique opportunity to spend some time in "in" the rainforest. Sights and sounds from humans and animals played in the round, while a magical array of videos and images played on screen. One could sit for 10 minutes or 2 hours and not get bored.

We know that no photos can truly showcase the experience, so we are hard at work planning the next opportunity for an immersive pop-up! Make sure you are signed up for the Rainforest Partnership newsletter and be the first to find out where the next one will be.

Thank you to all of the team members who made this possible, including (but definitely not limited to) the team members from our partners, OmniReality (Chris Lawes, Elena Deryusheva and Igor Sokolov) and Rainforest Connection (Topher White).
