But kids in particular will absolutely love it. The ones in my group were mesmerised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, IMMERSIUM:WIEN makes a worthy addition to Vienna&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/kids-2\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11143\">offerings for children and families<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even I found myself waving furiously at a benign walrus and smiling on the ride.

Online tickets guarantee you won&#8217;t have to wait for the next timeslot, but you can also buy tickets on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to be free to move around comfortably, so I suggest putting bags and coats and similar in the lockers available in the entrance area (which also has a shop and access to a small caf\u00e9 next door).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The street hosting the attraction might be considered a bit of an immersive hotspot as you have the fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/time-travel-tour\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16923\">Time Travel tour<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/footsteps\/sisi-amazing-journey\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"51237\">Sisi&#8217;s Amazing Journey<\/a> practically next door to IMMERSIUM:WIEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the kids can lose half a day with all the multimedia and VR entertainment around here.
