Orlando’s The Florida Mall now hosts Smithsonian Starstruck, an immersive virtual reality experience that takes visitors on a journey through the cosmos. Developed with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, this 40-minute attraction uses real astronomical data to explore our solar system and distant galaxies. Unlike typical action-based VR rides, Starstruck focuses on education and wonder, allowing guests to interact with telescopes and learn about celestial phenomena. The experience balances stunning visuals of massive galaxies and black holes with engaging storytelling that makes complex science accessible. At $20 per person, it offers an affordable opportunity to appreciate humanity’s small place in the vast universe. Visitors aged 10 and up can enjoy this thought-provoking attraction that combines technology with scientific discovery.
