Among Philadelphia staples like the Liberty Bell, Magic Gardens and Italian Market, there is an entirely unique landmark that will delight, inspire and engage your whole family. Step into the mind of a muralist and enter another realm at FIGMAGO.

This one hour experience is part escape room adventure, part art installation and all parts wonderfully immersive. Discover portals into an alternate reality of exquisite art, acrobatic dance, and tactile immersion as you become the artist while the adventure unfolds.

Hands-on & phone-free fun for all ages.

FIGMAGO ($24): Enter the working studio of Meg Saligman and discover the mind of a muralist. A work of art becomes a world of art through secret passageways, 3D murals, and hands-on exploration. Be a guest at the bizarre baroque banquet, play in the enchanted field of light and shadow, and discover uncharted paths into your own imagination. You become the artist as the adventure unfolds.

Step inside an entire world awaiting you on Bainbridge Street.

FIGMAGO Alive ($38): FIGMAGO Alive includes all of the same fantastical whimsy as FIGMAGO and features choreography by Brian Sanders’ JUNK.

Known for their thrilling acrobatics and cutting edge dance-theater, delight as JUNK further immerses you into the world of FIGMAGO. Adventure with them into a labyrinth of three-dimensional murals as they come to life in stunning and unexpected ways. Hailed for their ‘breathtaking-beautiful choreography’, the performers become the gatekeepers of your imagination, opening portals unto the paths of your creative being — from a figment comes an imago.
