This summer, escape to a childhood wonderland complete with a giant sand castle, ball-filled swimming pool, and candy-covered swings. The FOMO Factory, an immersive exhibit filled with fantastical sets from iconic childhood moments, has selected Houston as its newest location after a five month run in Austin. FOMO will once again open its doors offering visitors more than twice the rooms and square footage in its new home in Houston.
Visitors to The FOMO Factory will shed their identity at the door as they shake off their worries and choose their new silly nickname before entering a fantastical world featuring 17 immersive rooms. In addition to FOMO’s now-iconic Birthday Room with its giant cake and Playground with rainbow seesaw, the Houston installation will introduce nine new concepts. In the Science Lab visitors can don a lab coat and goggles to conduct weird experiments, snuggle into a tent to tell ghost stories in the Summer Camp Room, or grab a giant marker and draw on the walls of the Coloring Book Room.
