What Can You Expect to See & Do at Meow Wolf?
You can expect to be a little confused, a little overstimulated, and a lot entertained.
The Grapevine location is Meow Wolf’s 4th “portal” and it’s called The Real Unreal. You’ll find that it lives up to its name.
Begin your journey outside of a cozy family home on a starry night. It all seems pretty ordinary at first, but things are about to get weird.
Not only will you enter an immersive art experience, but there is also a mystery to investigate about the family who lives in the house.
We don’t want to give anything away but try every door, pull handles, look into nooks and crannies, and press buttons.
The story and path through the exhibits are nonlinear. Have fun getting literally and figuratively lost in the story. Search for clues, secret pathways, and interactive elements. Each room is unique and dreamlike.
Tips for Visitors:
- The Real Unreal is located inside Grapevine Mills Mall, and parking is free.
- Tickets are for timed entry, but you can stay until closing if you like and go through as many times as you like.
There is a small cafe where you can take a break and have a coffee, or a bite to eat.
