From the Ocean Floor to First-Class Luxury
The journey begins with an eerie, goosebump-inducing descent to 3.8 kilometers beneath the Atlantic, where the Titanicās wreckage sits in ghostly silence. But just as youāre about to start humming āMy Heart Will Go On,ā the scene shifts, and suddenlyāitās 1912. The ship is alive, its halls bustling, the chandeliers aglow. Youāre officially a first-class passengerāboarding pass in hand, ready to explore.
Titanic: A Voyage Through Time isnāt just a passive VR experienceāitās an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure of the grandest scale, making it one of the best things to do in LA. Want to unpack your luggage in a gilded private suite? Done. Fancy a midnight stroll on the deck, under a starry sky? Absolutely. Curious about how many lumps of sugar high society put in their tea? Youāll probably find out. Oh, and the engine room? If youāve ever wanted to feel the heat of the shipās roaring furnaces, nowās your chance to grab a shovel and help fuel history.
