What if you could explore the wonders of the universe without leaving Montréal? Presented at the Old Port of Montréal for a limited time, Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience offers an extraordinary 3D virtual reality adventure that takes visitors far beyond Earth to discover the fascinating phenomena of outer space.

The journey begins at ground-based observatories before launching visitors on an exploration of the cosmos, bringing them closer to the stars and the mysteries of the universe. Through virtual reality, participants can witness powerful solar eruptions, discover the famous Hubble and James Webb space telescopes from a new perspective, and experience the spectacular explosion of a dying star.

Developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, this experience uses real astronomical data to recreate celestial phenomena with remarkable realism. It's a unique opportunity to explore the latest discoveries in astronomy and gain a deeper understanding of the vastness of our universe.

Blending science, technology and entertainment, Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience invites visitors of all ages on an unforgettable journey through space, without ever leaving the Old Port of Montréal.
