You can train like an astronaut and relive the Apollo 11 moon landing at this new immersive experience open now in Brisbane

Your astronaut training starts in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, where you’ll be lowered into the water in a specialised crane system to experience the closest thing to weightlessness on Earth. After getting familiar with your suit and equipment, you’ll step inside the Gemini 12 spacecraft for a manual docking mission before heading outside the capsule to tackle EVA tasks in open space. Then your AI guide, Selene, opens a wormhole to 1969, and suddenly you’re part of the Apollo 11 mission itself. An Astrovan collects your crew for the trip to the launchpad, where a NASA technician welcomes you aboard for the Saturn V launch. As the countdown ends, you’ll hear authentic mission control transmissions, feel the power of the rocket and even watch the different stages separate from a breathtaking external perspective.

The adventure doesn’t stop once you’re in orbit. You’ll float through space on the journey to the Moon, lose contact with mission control as Apollo 11 approaches its destination and have to guide the lunar module through its final descent while alarms sound around you. Once you’ve landed, it’s time to explore the Moon’s surface, collect samples, read the commemorative plaque, and plant the flag in one of the most recognisable moments of the twentieth century.

Designed for families, history buffs, space enthusiasts and anyone looking for something different to do in Brisbane, LUNA combines cinematic storytelling with fascinating real-world history to create an adventure that’s hard to forget. Whether you grew up dreaming of becoming an astronaut or simply want to experience one of humanity’s biggest achievements from a completely new perspective, this is your chance to step into the story!
