Reviews of ECLIPSO LYON
Leena Varekar
For the first time I have experience something amazing. I experienced L'Horizon de Khéops through virtual reality. Impossible to describe in words. The team has worked really hard to give the fantastic experience to their visitors. Highly recommended. I am going to visit the place soon to experience other shows.

Super nice, I recommend !
Tilly Poynter
Super fun immersive experience, 4 different experiences to choose from. I explored the world of dinosaurs and creatures from million years ago. No wait to get into the building but there is a bit of a wait to get into the experience fully worth it though. Also for those with mobility issues, the wheelchairs they have don't include foot rests. So just worth letting you know. Other than that it was...
Marie-Eve Rougeot
We do not recommend Eclipso Lyon at all. We went to see “Monde disparu”. In order to make money they sell way too many tickets. It is overcrowded. And if you are in a wheelchair, simply imposible to move around with such a large crowd. Additionally the show is mediocre at best. And… the tickets are very expensive. A waste of our money!
Marcus Vogt
Fun and interesting for adults and kids. The second time was a bit too packed, though. I found the Egyptian theme nicer than the dinosaur tour.
