Everyone knows about the Titanic disaster, and even if you haven’t seen the popular movie about it, you probably know about several famous scenes. The historical event still generates a great deal of interest, and visitors of all ages can experience it in a unique way at “Titanic: An Immersive Voyage.”
The experience came to Exhibition Hub Atlanta in Doraville earlier this year and will host visitors from Friday, Dec. 27-Sunday, Dec. 29 and continue through January 2025. It includes life-size re-creations of parts of the ship, a collection of artifacts, 3D views and immersive video animations that enable you to imagine what it would have been like to be a passenger on the doomed ship.
Props from the 1997 movie “Titanic” are also on exhibit, and you can even take selfies at a replica of the ship’s bow where Jack and Rose have their iconic “I’m flying!” scene.
The immersive voyage was created by John Zaller, a producer who runs Exhibition Hub Atlanta. Earlier this year, he explained the reason for his interest in this part of history to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“For me, it’s the personal stories of the people on board,” he said. “The thing that makes it super fascinating is it’s a modern-day Greek tragedy, a mythological retelling of the human experience. It continues to teach us lessons and draws us in. We also want to capture the myth and lore surrounding the story.”
Allow about 60 to 90 minutes for your visit. Ticket prices vary by the day you’re visiting and are $33 for Friday, Dec. 27-Sunday, Dec. 29. expo-titanic.com
