WOWtopia is an entirely new form of family entertainment produced by WOW Explorations, a developer of innovative recreation experiences for kids and families. It combines the physicality of an adventure park, the hands-on interactivity of a maker experience and the awe of a cultural festival—all presented through a circus-like touring model.
"We are delighted to be working with WOW Explorations to design and produce its first touring attraction, and we look forward to wowing kids with a highly active, enriching recreation experience," said Annie Derome, CEO and Executive Producer, gsmprjct˚. "The vision that the WOW Explorations team has for WOWtopia is inspiring and novel, and we embrace the challenge of bringing such a unique and transformative experience to life."
"WOWtopia seeks to combine adventure, artistry and authenticity to "wow" families with the wonder of the world in an exciting and completely unique way," said Donna Friedman Meir, Founder and CEO of WOW Explorations. "Given its expertise at designing breakthrough travelling and permanent experiences around the world, gsmprjct˚ is the ideal partner to help us bring this project to fruition. We are thrilled to be working with gsmprjct˚'s talented global team."
WOWtopia is scheduled to begin touring in the U.S. in late 2017, before making its way overseas in subsequent years.
