4-D Walkway At Detroit Zoo Penguin Center

Polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary Antarctic expedition and epic crossing of the Drake Passage influenced an immersive entry experience where guests descend a series of ramps – as if aboard Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance – surrounded by 4-D effects, including blasts of polar air and sea mist. A unique video and sound feature called projection mapping depicts iceberg calving – one of nature’s most dramatic visual and aural spectacles where icebergs split and send massive cascades of ice crashing into the sea.
