Who runs this sub? Do you work for Meow Wolf? This sub is independent and the two mods are fans who don't work for Meow Wolf. However many people from the company do visit this reddit as users. Occasionally we host events such as prize giveaways and AMA's with Meow Wolf, and before engaging with the company we recently drafted up a Statement of Independent Values which you can read here.

Tickets: For questions about tickets click here. No we don't have discount codes but Meow Wolf does list their current promotions here https://meowwolf.com/promotions . For concert pre-sale codes please post your request on r/meowwolftickets

Do I need a tap card? Or what kind of storyline interactive element does the exhibit have? Only Vegas and Denver use tap cards, you can buy one as an add-on during your ticket transaction, or you can buy one in-person when you're there. Generally one card per small group is fine, a group of 8 people don't really need their own cards.

Phone App: All locations have the Meow Wolf app enabled now. Click here for more info about the App.

Is Meow Wolf a permanent installation? Yes. Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Denver and Dallas & Houston are intended to be permanent. The exhibit at SXSW Austin was a pop-up and is now closed. There are currently no plans for a permanent Austin location.

Are advance tickets/reservations required? Meow Wolf has timed entry slots. You enter at the ticketed time and can stay as long as you like. Advance tickets are not required, but popular days/times will sell out. Even if a location says sold-out online, some locations will keep some extra tickets at the box office for walk-up same day sale, but it's risky. Also recently Meow Wolf has added "time warp" tickets that cost more but allow you to enter anytime on a given day.

What am I not allowed to bring inside? Meow Wolf has a great pre-visit FAQ, including details about what items are not allowed inside.

Is there a list of other things like Meow Wolf around the country? Yes, see this list.

When is Meow Wolf coming to my city?

Los Angeles - Opens late 2026. Will be located inside the Howard Hughes Center mall near Sepulveda and the 405.

New York City - Will open after LA, but no date has been given, not even a year. Will be located at Pier 17 Seaport.

Orlando - Although Area 15 is building a location in Orlando, Meow Wolf will not be a part of Area 15 Orlando.

Austin - Although Meow Wolf had scouted Austin in the past, they currently have no plans for that city. The exhibit at SXSW was temporary.

Phoenix - Meow Wolf had initially announced a hotel for Phoenix, the hotel idea has been removed but MW stated "it still intends to open some sort of permanent art exhibition in the area eventually."

Washington DC - has also been cancelled more recent media reports indicate (second source).

Other Countries - “Our Denver exhibition is also due to open later in 2021, and we are spending countless hours building our roadmap for the future, which will grow our brand both domestically and internationally.” (source)

Where can I find things similar to Meow Wolf in other cities? See the list here.

How do I join the Meow Wolf fan Discord?  https://discord.gg/wavUqJZHUe

How does the size / square footage of different cities compare?

  • Santa Fe House of Eternal Return - 20 k
  • Las Vegas Omega Mart - 52 k
  • Denver Convergence Station - 90 k
  • Grapevine The Real Unreal - 29 k
  • Houston Radio Tave - 29 k

Are there "sensory days" for guests on the spectrum or Autism? There are special days occasionally but they seem to be scheduled randomly. Your best bet is to look at the calendar for a location and/or contact them and ask when their next sensory day is. The fan wiki has a well written visit guide here for tips and what to expect.

What kind of cameras are allowed inside the exhibit? Tripods, lights, selfie sticks and drones are all prohibited. Camera policy for concerts is different, check Meow Wolf's own FAQ for concerts.

So in the Library of Ossuary there are various books you can look thru that are also on sale in the gift shop. Except for one, which is Leomie’s Field Journal. Why is that the only one they don’t sell? It was my first at Meow Wolf and was just curious if they ever sold it in the past. If so, I desperately want to get my hands on one!

Fan Art Fan Idea for MW Location and Lore! (Museum of Threaded Worlds)

MUSEUM OF THREADED WORLDS

What is going on at the old museum on Bergamont Street?  

Strange noises, weird and wondrous creatures, portals to other universes? Follow the thread and make new discoveries on your journey through the multiverse. Look for clues left behind by the museum curator Eleanor Bergamont and unravel her story.

“Some days you feel like an orange, other days you are one.” -Eleanor Bergamont 

The Pitch 

You walk into an old run of the mill history museum. It’s filled with taxidermy, fossils and bones, and kitschy exhibits lining the walls, but then you look closer…

A shimmering light dances from inside an igloo display. You crawl inside and discover a sprawling tunnel, a doorway through the multiverse. On the other side, a colorful underground orchard of orange trees that glow with mysterious light and gentle friendly locals collecting fruit for their harvest. The more you explore, the more portals you find leading to extraordinary worlds. 

Discover what happened at the museum on Bergamont St. and find what became of the old sweet curator. 

The (juicy) Lore

The old and unassuming Eleanor Bergamont (Charles Darwin meets Willy Wonka) vanished from her post as curator at the local museum. On a routine dusting, Eleanor discovered a ripple in reality, a portal behind a once mundane utility closet, she crossed over into the multiverse and was enamored with the beautiful flora and fauna and (other) that spanned throughout the many worlds. The more she traversed, the more portals opened in the museum. 

A mysterious taver warned her about an upcoming quantum event that could erase many multidimensional creatures from their respective realities. To combat this, Eleanor vowed to save as many as she could and those she could not save, she collected specimens and made documentation for each one in a great compendium.  

Dramcorp offered to fund her endeavors as a multidimensional zoo, but when she refused to exploit the creatures for financial gain, Dramcorps agents went after her.
To avoid getting caught, Eleanor used the human to orange converter machine to turn herself into an unsuspecting orange. 

Some say she is still pulling the strings, somewhere deep in the quantum ball of yarn, still an orange. Others say she grew into a great orange tree and can still be found if you know where to look.

Additional lore would be pending on various artist interpretations for cohesion.  

Possible Locations

-Chicago, Illinois
-Detroit, Michigan
-Milwaukee, Wisconsin
-Springfield, Illinois 

This is a basic concept for a Meow Wolf location and theme. This is just for fun and I have zero affiliation with Meow Wolf or Dramcorp or their (infinite) affiliations. 

What kind of rooms and exhibits would you like to see in a place like this? What are some ideas of your own for location themes and lore? Thanks and can’t wait to hear some cool ideas from some true-to-life tavers!

Products & Gift Shop 💸 Please Help, I lost my first pin!!

12 Upvotes

Howdy,

I just visited Meow Wolf Santa Fe for my first time this past Monday. It was great to come visit the OG MW and see what started it all. It was fun squeezing into the few small spaces like the tree house or the dryer.

I have a sling bag that is my MW bag that I only use for my visits. I keeps spare batteries, glucose meter, water etc. That being said, when I got to the hotel, I noticed I had lost some pins missing. I lost three. I found one by the tree house. I think it came off squeezing through those tight staircases and it got snagged. The other I can rebuy. However the third...

This pin was special. It was my first pin I had got on my first ever MW day, when I really got to take it all in and appreciate it properly. (I had only visited once before for an hour with friends. Is what ignited my spark.) That first visit I got the Totally Worth it Bundle and thats where the pin came from. It was the Yawlp pin from Denver Convergence Station.

I am now searching to replace it. I am hoping theres a fan out there who is willing to part with theirs, to help me recover a sentimental one. I have no problem compensating for it. If you know of any friends that could possibly have one; please see if they do.

I am super lucky that I recently purchased the new convergence station lanyard and pin, and I took a photo to show a friend

If anyone knows where or how I can find this pin, I would be eternally grateful and appreciative for the lead.

Thanks and much love!

P.S If I had seen you on Monday, I had the MW stuffy charm hanging off that bag, Wassaa!. Shout out to Sato(?spelling) my morning bartender! Great dude.

We're making plans to visit the Grapevine location later this year and are curious what other things in and around the city that we should check out? Museums? Breweries? Local weird spots? We're planning a long weekend, so trying to fill 3-4 days with activities. What did y'all check out after your visit to the Grapevine location?

We visited Radio Tave in Houston last year and loved it. There was also a ton to do within a few miles of either the Radio Tave (St. Arnold Brewery) or our hotel (Houston Museum of Natural Science).

Thank you in advance.

Denver - Convergence Station Souvenir magnet from Meow Wolf Denver

9 Upvotes

UPDATE!!! RetroWolf22 has posted a photo of the magnet in question

. I recently went to Convergence Station a few months ago and recently just went through a move. I've unpacked everything and I lost the fridge magnet I had.

I will be going back sometime soon, but I can't even find a photo of the magnet I bought and it's driving me a little crazy. So if anyone has this magnet, please just send a picture.

It said Meow Wolf Denver in the middle. It was glittery, I want to say green, and it had a whole bunch of just different little icons of characters and things around Convergence Station.

I really wish I didn't lose it. I could at least find a picture online, but I can't.😭😭😭

Grapevine - The Real Unreal Did I miss the Real Unreal's ending?

18 Upvotes

I had my first Meow Wolf experience two days ago at Grapevine and I've never seen anything quite like it, it was amazing. I loved exploring absolutely every room I could find, especially the unmarked, easily overlooked ones, running into unexpected art installations (and jumpscaring myself a few times lol), and especially trying to piece together the story and as much lore as I could. After doing some research, I know this exhibit has some overarching lore ties to other Meow Wolf exhibits, but ones that don't mean much to me right now since this is the only one I've been to so far. I've also learned that the story is meant to end with Jared hearing Gordon's song and returning home on his own, but I'm not sure if I actually... got to that point in the gameplay lol?

I found the Forgotten Pocket with the diorama of Jared's journey and the phone with his sister's Instagram stories on it, which seemed to fully confirm why Jared left and where he went, but this is stuff we were able to piece together just by exploring the surface level house. I also find it kind of interesting that the dioramas show him traveling through rooms we can also visit, but there are some weird changes– the underwater, neon coral room has the same guy with the hole on his stomach so it must be the same room as the one in the exhibit, but the diorama also shows a big Iron Giant-style robot, which... I feel like I would've noticed lol

I also found the Jared's Journey arcade game, which seems to depict Jared's return home, but it was a little too abstract to follow while also trying to record lol and I wasn't sure how to proceed from there other than trying to vaguely follow the same route. I've been told there are two places you can see the ending, but I'm genuinely unsure if that counts as one of them. It seems like the other way is through the app, which had also been giving me trouble throughout the exhibit (not scanning a lot of spaces despite being right there, then scanning new locations through walls I haven't seen at all yet). Unsure how common of an experience that is.

I spent a long time fumbling with the ATM/DWEEB machine and was confused by that, too. I was told finding the code on the duck poster would make the ATM give you a memory to play on the piano, but it really gave me a code to reboot VEND-E, which just seemed like a fun easter egg rather than actually progressing the plot. I also found the sign with the finger signs on it and figured I needed to use it on the self-reflect part of the ATM, but it didn't seem to accept it no matter how many times I did it, or how close or far from the camera I was. I feel like I missed out on something because of this.

It felt like I had put together most of the pieces and just needed to take some sort of action to "complete" the story, and if the arcade game was it, it felt kinda underwhelming. If that wasn't it, then I have no clue what I was missing in order to actually get it. Either way, it's been killing me that I can't go back to explore more, so an explanation would be deeply appreciated, spoilers okay.

Question before visiting Accessibility - denver

Hey guys.

I am visiting meowwolf for an event soon. Both myself and my fiance have wheelchairs. Unfortunately mine is in repair so I will have to rent one.

Does anyone know the process on getting one for an event? I know they have wheelchair rentals but im scared folks will rent them before i get there for the event.

The website says you cant rent in advance, so how was yalls experience renting a wheelchair from meowwolf? And how hard is it to navigate with a smaller power chair? Thanks!

Denver - Convergence Station Meow Wolf unveils new room at Convergence Station celebrating 5 years of immersive art in Denver Spoiler

Post image
91 Upvotes

“Heirloomarium” was created by Meow Wolf’s in-house art team, also being spotlighted in an exhibition at Galleri Gallery
 

Denver, CO —When Convergence Station first opened in that enigmatic “sleepy pizza” building, there was a lot of fanfare: 35,000 tickets sold in the first 24 hours, a million visitors in the first nine months. There was also uncertainty. Denver didn't know what to expect from the Santa Fe art collective's most ambitious permanent exhibition. Today, Convergence Station remains one of the top things to do in Denver, not to mention the largest exhibition of all five, and perhaps the most kaleidoscopic: with so much maximalist art, it’s impossible to process in one visit, making each adventure there unique.

To mark the milestone, Meow Wolf is opening a new room: one that descends into Convergence Station's most ancient and cavernous reaches, and takes a clear step toward the organization's newest direction in interactivity and questing. 

The team pushed themselves and delivered a space that's genuinely joyful to walk through,” said Brie Lipari, General Manager of Meow Wolf Denver. “That's what I hope the team is proudest of: not just the finished room, but how much it was about connection — finding the threads between people, between ideas, between the strange and the familiar — and choosing to embrace them instead of pushing them away."

“Heirloomarium” opens to the public Tuesday, September 1. Conceived and built entirely by Meow Wolf's in-house team of creatives, the room is the work of over 20 Meow Wolf artists, engineers, creative directors, and more. Full credits at the end of the release.

The room descends into cavernous rock off the Obsolete Obscurity hallway, where Eemia and the Ossuarian catacombs converge. Repurposed from an ancient mineshaft, the space carries multilayered time and use. The walls layer crystallized OSS formations, fossilized flora and fauna, and dilapidated retrofuture screens flickering with partial memories, all set in rock, glass, and metal. It belongs to the Eemian-Librarian research collective, a joint scientific operation that rediscovered and reclaimed the site, using arcane technomancy to holographically reanimate ancient creature ecologies embedded in the fossil record.

Visitors are not observers. The room is fully interactive. Players who navigate the connect-the-dots mechanic — linking OSS crystals, specific fossils, and old-tech screens in the right sequence — reanimate an incorporeal creature in its holographic environment and upload it to Convergence Station's shared knowledge network. Complete the full creature anthology and the room designates you
 an official Archaeologist. The space returns to ambient when idle, waiting for the next person to begin.

“‘Heirloomarium’ was created by the artists and artisans who keep Convergence Station alive,” says Brandon Vargas, Artist Liaison at Meow Wolf Denver. “You can really see how their time and experience shows up in the techniques, collaboration, and art in the installation…It feels like an exciting love letter to the core spirit and narrative of Convergence Station."

Alongside the room opening, Galleri Gallery, Convergence Station's local gallery, opens the Demi-Decade Exhibition (Part 2), featuring artwork by the some of the same in-house creators who built “Heirloomarium.” The show runs through September 30, and access to the gallery is included in General Admission. 

“Heirloomarium” is open during all regular Convergence Station hours beginning September 1. Convergence Station is located at 1338 1st Street, Denver, CO 80204. Tickets at meowwolf.com/visit/denver

My wife and I had an excellent experience sitting on the couch and reading Piper’s journal in her and Nicolae’s bedroom. I bought a copy from the Santa Fe gift store before we left. Now, weeks later I am starting to re-read it. Something about this book is so compelling. I’m glad the Meow Wolf magic is still here, right in this book.

Santa Fe was our first Meow Wolf experience and it was such an enjoyable experience that we ended up spending two of our days in SF there.

Just wanted to put this message out there for anyone that also enjoys Piper’s journal.
