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.
