BBC Earth Experience is a new attraction offering visitors the chance to experience the extraordinary diversity of our seven unique continents, on the most epic scale featuring narration from David Attenborough. A 360-degree immersive experience, BBC Earth Experience will showcase footage, including extended scenes to fully immerse the visitor, and music from the BBC Studios Natural History Unit television series Seven Worlds, One Planet, projected on multiple multi-angle screens using the very latest digital screen technology. This new London attraction which spans 1608m2 offers a truly transformative experience that will allow audiences of every age to feel like they’ve stepped into the natural world, losing themselves in boundless wonder as they travel to far flung places.
The immersive experience boasts huge screens which display videos from Seven Worlds, One Planet — a nature documentary series which was filmed over 1,794 days across 41 countries. You’ll experience Asia, South America, Antarctica and more, from the comfort of London’s Daikin Centre.
The 360-degree audio and visual experience spans four different rooms: the Main Gallery, Micro Life, and Water Life – and, if you’re feeling brave enough, the creepy crawly room… The gorgeous animal life and nature videos feature a forest full of fireflies (which we actually found pretty emotional!), a vibrant sea of starfish, a four-tonne elephant seal fight, and plenty of snub-nosed monkeys.
The high-definition, multi-angle screens use the very latest digital screen technology. As well as the narration from the much-loved biologist, there are sound effects of natural life throughout, plus lighting installations to perfectly match the ecosystem you’re in, whether that’s a rainforest or the ocean.
Visitors will take a majestic 360-degree audio visual journey as they marvel and explore iconic landscapes and connect with mesmerising animals on this epic adventure bringing environments to life. From fireflies putting on a spectacular light show in North America, to snub nosed monkeys huddling together to stay warm in Asia, and hungry hamsters fighting to keep their food in Europe, visitors will get to experience our seven continents in all their glory, like never before.
Seven Worlds, One Planet was BBC One’s most-watched factual TV show of 2019. The series took viewers on journey that not only celebrated the beauty of life on each of the seven continents, but also highlighted the many challenges faced by nature in a modern world. Over 1,500 people worked on the award-winning series, with 92 shoots across 41 countries, revealing an unseen wilderness of Earth’s diverse continents.
Produced by BBC Studios, Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation, BBC Earth Experience is current ongoing at the “The Daikin Centre”, a purpose built and demountable venue in London’s Earl’s Court.
