Tennessee’s First Fully Immursive Digital Experience Offers Tons Of Fun For All Ages

It is hard to believe that there is so much of our ocean we know very little about. This vast expanse is greatly mysterious and offers endless possibility for the imagination. I often think about what could be waiting to be discovered on the ocean floor. As technology advances, we may soon find out, but here in the Volunteer State, we now have the next best thing. Xperia In Sevierville, Tennessee, is a first-of-its-kind, fully immersive digital experience that takes guests deep into the ocean realms.

Xperia is located next to the Tanger Outlet Mall in Sevierville and certainly looks impressive sitting in the corner of the parking lot. What is housed inside is an experience unlike anywhere else that beckons visitors in to take a closer look.

Once you purchase your tickets, you will be transported on a journey of discovery through the mysterious ocean deep.

There are a series of rooms you will get to experience, each offering different degrees of interaction. The first room sets the stage for what's to come as you enter a room surrounded by blank screens. As the show starts, you will quickly realize you are in a submarine bobbing on the surface of the water, but then you dive deeper and start to experience this underwater adventure.

The whole trip through Xperia will give you multiple experiences throughout their nine rooms. One crowd-pleaser is sure to be the "shark attack" room.

On the other end of the spectrum, one of the cutest creatures of the sea are the seals and there is an entire room dedicated to these friendly sea pups. Step in front of the interactive screens and watch as these delightful animals mimic your movements.

The underwater mirror maze is a fun addition and will have digital displays as well as mirrors for a great interactive and immersive trip through an oceanic dreamscape.

The 3D dome theater is the final room on your trip through the ocean and promises an epic end you will have to experience for yourself when you go.

You may not get the chance to go deep sea diving or travel in a submarine, but here in the Smoky Mountain region awaits a new, one-of-a-kind experience where you can come face to face with some of your favorite sea creatures!

Xperia In Sevierville, Tennessee, is a brand-new, first-of-its-kind, wholly immersive experience. The wonder and beauty found deep within our oceans come alive as you travel on a journey of discovery at this unique attraction.

For another amazing experience in the area take to the skies with Scenic Helicopter Tours. I would recommend the Ridge Runner Tour -- it was simply incredible!
