Sci-Fi World-The Experience announces opening date

Coming to Santa Monica California May 27th 2024, Sci-Fi World-The Experience is a 30,000 square feet collection of science fiction and fantasy props, sets and costumes, probably the largest ever displayed. Located inside the historic former Sears building at 302 Colorado Avenue, between from 3rd Street Promenade mall, the Metro Rail Station, and the world-famous Santa Monica Pier.

12 years in the making, Sci-Fi World is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation that “brings the fun of a theme park inside a museum.” STEAM based education for all ages, with multiple photo ops and interactive opportunities, and all guests are encouraged to dress up as their favorite character or superhero. Celebrity signings and special events will make Sci-Fi World like Comic Con every day.

Sci-Fi World began as New Starship Foundation in August 2012, as an effort to preserve a Paramount-built Star Trek Enterprise-D display bridge (the style seen on the hugely successful TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation). Support continued from many Star Trek legends, including William Shatner, George Takei, Brent Spiner, Denise Crosby, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban and Ronald D. Moore. Expanding the Foundation’s purpose to include creating Sci-Fi World has helped gain additional support from the cast and crew from Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Doctor Who, and many other TV shows and films.

Some of the most iconic original props and replicas from TV shows and films include: The Enterprise Bridge set from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek 1966 Original Series set, with statues of the crew, Star Wars, DC and Marvel, including the Iron Man Hall of Armor, Doctor Who, Planet of the Apes, Lord of the Rings, the 25 foot bubbleship from Oblivion, full size Alien Queen and Powerloader from Aliens, a 35 foot Millennium Falcon bounce house, a 1980s arcade on free-play, a living 17ft long Giganotosaurus dinosaur, and much more.
