Dive into a world of imagination, creativity, and storytelling at Meow Wolf’s The Real Unreal in Grapevine, Texas. Located in the bustling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, this immersive art experience opened in 2023 as the fourth permanent installation from the famed artist collective. Like its counterparts in Santa Fe, Denver, and Las Vegas, The Real Unreal takes visitors on a fantastical journey through interconnected realms where art meets mystery.
At its core, The Real Unreal is a vibrant, multi-sensory exploration of alternate dimensions. This 29,000-square-foot experience combines interactive art, surreal landscapes, and an original narrative that unfolds as you venture through the space. The installation is centered on the story of a family living in a seemingly ordinary house—but when their child vanishes, they uncover a portal to another universe.
