I absolutely adore the Meowwolf exhibits, I’ve been to 3 of their locations thus far (Santa Fe, Denver, and Las Vegas) and enjoyed all of them. If you’re looking for a trippy, out of body experience where you can spend hours laughing at the absurd, while enjoying thousands of art pieces uniquely designed and crafted I would highly recommend it. However, it can be an extremely overwhelming experience for a lot of people. Warnings about photosensitivity risk, vertigo, and epilepsy can be found around the exhibits. For those who can be overstimulated by sounds, crowds, lights, and other sensations, there are a number of helpful resources at the front desk. (I needed to get myself a pair of noise cancelling headphones, a fidget toy, and glasses to help with the sensations) That being said, there will be crowds. It’s unavoidable and what’s unfortunate is that, due to the location of some ‘puzzles’ and the time it takes to complete them, you find yourself waiting in lines just to get your turn finding out the information. My friend and I weren’t able to complete the storyline because we couldn’t get to all of the hints, which is very unfortunate. But we also get overwhelmed at crowds, so I know it wasn’t the fault of the storyline. I do wish that there were more kiosks so multiple mystery-solving groups could work at the same time.

Having been to 3 MeowWolf Locations now, I can say with confidence that the Denver Convergence Station is my favorite! With multiple floors of experiences and a storyline that sucks you in till the very last second, my best friend spent upwards of 5 hours exploring the location while we were stopped in Denver. The way the story is introduced and followed was very new to me, as I had only visited the Santa Fe location before, but as soon as we got our memory card, my friend and I were off, connecting the dots and collecting mems! Every twist was exciting, and the references to the story in the surrounding art was so seamless we only realized how intrinsically connected they were after getting pretty far through the story! As someone with sensory issues, I did have to check out a pair of headphones and glasses, but it didn’t diminish the fun at all! The staff was super welcoming and understanding, and it made for an amazing experience!! I cannot recommend visiting the Convergence Station more! MeowWolf continues to provide us with some of the most creative and engaging immersive art experiences in the world! Cant wait to see what’s to come if/when new locations open!!
