On view Feb. 5 - April 27, 2025 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force™

An immersive, one-of-a-kind, adventure-driven touring exhibition designed to raise awareness for the world’s oceans.

From the depths of the oceans to the outer limits of space, innovators and explorers continue to uncover mysteries and possibilities while adapting to the challenges of these unique environments. Visitors can explore both worlds and learn about those who dare to discover and dream — only at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force!

A $12 ticket fee applies for this exhibition. Ticket fee grants entry into both OceanXperience and Drop in the Ocean, an interactive, social virtual-reality experience from Pulseworks. Fee helps cover the cost of bringing these cutting-edge exhibitions to the Museum.

IMMERSIVE. INTERACTIVE. INFORMATIVE.

OceanXperience puts visitors in the driver's seat of a personalized adventure.

Stepping onto an interactive replica of OceanXplorer, the world’s most advanced research and filmmaking vessel, you
can choose a mission that sparks your curiosity. As you explore the ship and actively participate in hands-on STEM-based
research tasks, your journey is tracked and enhanced with RFID technology. The adventure culminates in an interactive
facilitated HoloLab experience and powerful cinematic scenes in the immersive area. The exhibition is designed to fully
engage all your senses with immersive soundscapes, tactile experiences, and visually dynamic media.
