Spellbinding "Wings and Wizards" experience opens at BC Place today

Jun 8 2021, 7:42 pm

A magical experience for the whole family has arrived in Vancouver and opens at BC Place today.

Wings and Wizards is an immersive, family-friendly exhibit that spans over 7,000 square feet inside BC Place. Produced by SHINE Experiences, the touch-free exhibition is a mystical adventure that involves both a wizard’s academy and an enchanted forest.

The event is self-guided, using tools such as motion tracking, proximity-based devices, lights, projections, props, and soundscapes. The key to the entire experience, according to organizers, is a trusty magic wand that visitors will use to “cast spells, solve riddles, and move through space and time.”

“Wings and Wizards is an interactive exhibit that merges world-building, art, tech, storytelling, and design to create a truly sublime magical adventure,” organizers state, adding that the event was also designed with stringent COVID-19 protocols in place that are in full accordance with BC’s public health guidelines.
