Whether you're an art lover, a tech geek, or just looking for something unexpected, NYC is packed with next-level experiences that fuse creativity with cutting-edge innovation. From digital dreamscapes to sky-high sensory rooms, here’s your guide to the most immersive attractions you can book right now — all through tickadoo.

1. Mercer Labs

Prepare to lose your sense of direction — in the best possible way. Mercer Labs is a 16-room journey through the intersection of science, sound, perception, and design. No two rooms are alike: you might find yourself walking through an infinite light tunnel, a reactive sound sculpture, or a space that feels more algorithm than architecture.

• Perfect for: Creative minds, tech-curious explorers, and sensory seekers

• Location: Lower Manhattan

2. ARTECHOUSE NYC

Hidden beneath Chelsea Market, ARTECHOUSE is a fully immersive gallery where digital art takes center stage. Its rotating exhibitions use projection mapping, responsive tech, and real-time animation to create larger-than-life, walk-through artworks. It's mesmerizing, and yes — extremely Instagrammable.

• Perfect for: Couples, families, and visual creatives

• Location: Chelsea

3. Summit One Vanderbilt

Summit is more than just a view — it’s an observation deck reimagined as an interactive art installation. Mirrors stretch across floors, skyboxes suspend you over the skyline, and immersive light and sound environments shift with every step. It’s high-altitude art-meets-tech at its boldest.

• Perfect for: First-timers, photographers, and immersive thrill-seekers

• Location: Midtown East

6. The Banksy Museum NYC

This innovative museum turns street art into an immersive, atmospheric experience. Rather than simply displaying prints, it recreates Banksy’s most famous works as life-size installations. Digital storytelling, moody lighting, and unexpected details bring the artist’s message — and mystery — to life.

• Location: Lower Manhattan
