It’s an exciting blend of art and technology
Moment Factory, creators behind the imagination-filled experience made use of the latest technology to breathe life into every room of ‘Mirror Mirror’. In Forest of Echoes, River of Time, Cosmic Jumble and other installations, captivating lasers, mirrors and music meet incredible projections, automations and special effects.
Every single one of your thoughts and movements animate your experience at ‘Mirror Mirror’, transporting you in a multisensory world of light and sound. It’s definitely one of the first adventures of its kind in Calgary!
The entire journey is family-friendly
What personify imagination and creativity like children? The doors of ‘Mirror Mirror’ are opened to attendees ages 4 and up, with tickets available for kids and groups. Since most of the experience is fueled by your very own mind, it’s the opportunity to get a glimpse into your family’s inner thoughts too (just don’t tell them we said that).
… And the perfect opportunity to satisfy your inner child
If you’re a tad bit older and want to experience ‘Mirror Mirror’ with friends — or by yourself — you’re also totally welcome. The journey has so many twists and turns that equally surprise adults and kids. For example, the River of Time is the perfect opportunity to satisfy your inner child, since you’ll be jumping in puddles of a digital river that creates melodies. We can tell you from experience that jumping in puddles has to be one of the most satisfying feelings ever — so kid or not, ‘Mirror Mirror’ will have you smiling from ear to ear!
Each visit makes for a different experience
Because ‘Mirror Mirror’ depends on your thoughts and movement, you get to decide what the experience will look like. Upon entering the venue, you’ll be faced with a series of doors (kind of like in Alice in Wonderland). Whichever one you choose will dictate the flow of your ‘Mirror Mirror’ journey. That means every time you come to ‘Mirror Mirror’, you can live a completely different journey. And who doesn’t love places they can visit over and over again?
