An immersive space travel exhibition in Hong Kong is inviting visitors to step into the role of interstellar travelers and glimpse the future of human lunar settlements in 2048.

Jointly presented by joio studio and the HIT - Commercial Aerospace Industry Technology Alliance (Hong Kong), Fly Me to the Moon: A 380,000 km Odyssey runs from Oct 2 to Nov 22 at K11 MUSEA and along the Salisbury Garden and the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, taking participants on an interstellar journey through panoramic immersion and multisensory experiences.

Centering on the moon as its core theme, the showcase transcends conventional science displays by fusing cutting-edge technology and visual art — demonstrating how advanced aerospace technology is transforming the moon from a distant myth into humanity’s next frontier.

Key activities include experiencing a simulated launch and moon touchdown, exploring a futuristic lunar habitat, witnessing an "Earthrise" from the moon's far side, and capturing memorable moments at dynamic light photo spots.

Standard admission for the odyssey is HK$200 ($25.5) for visitors aged 12 or above, and HK$175 for children under 12.

For those eager for more, a giant aerospace landmark by the iconic Victoria Harbour showcases a planetary zone with massive inflatable planet installations and a giant rocket model. No ticket is required.
