The Moonwalkers: A Journey With Tom Hanks
About The Moonwalkers: A Journey With Tom Hanks
The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks is an awe-inspiring immersive experience that tells the extraordinary story of humanity's quest to reach the Moon. Narrated by Tom Hanks — who of course played astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 — this cutting-edge attraction uses the world's largest LED screen (over 3,200 square metres) combined with genuine NASA artefacts to create an unforgettable journey through the Space Age.
From the early days of the Space Race through the heart-stopping Apollo missions to the lunar surface itself, you'll walk through a series of stunning environments that make you feel as though you're part of the mission. The scale is extraordinary — you'll stand beneath rockets, float through space and walk on the Moon's surface alongside projections of real astronauts. With authentic NASA artefacts including a real Moon rock, this is an experience that inspires wonder in visitors of every age.
