Meow Wolf Immersive Art, Five Locations & Growing
Hey kids…I’ve got an update for you. Meow Wolf opened its fifth permanent exhibition in Houston Texas on October 31, 2024. See the bottom of this article for more info. And I just went to visit the Las Vegas Meow Wolf. Omega Mart is so much fun…see my review link below.
Meow Wolf is an immersive art explosion of creations. In 2008, Meow Wolf evolved out of a small artist collective in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Meow Wolf Immersive Art
The Santa Fe location is where the first official location opened with House of Eternal Return in 2016. Then in 2021, additional locations opened in Las Vegas (NV), Denver (CO), as well as Grapevine (TX) in 2023 (as of the posting of this article in July 2023).
Convergence Station
Each installation/location is unique to its own city. I visited Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station in Denver. It happens to be the largest and is also the third permanent exhibition to open. Here you can embark on an otherworldly adventure. Set within a stunning 90,000 square-foot space, this installation incorporation space travel, where guests can enter the Cosmohredon (a spacecraft) to create a bit of their own magic. There are different worlds to visit such as Eemia the Ice World, Numina the Swamp World, etc. Remember to engage with the androids or alien residents to find out more about each of the world’s mysteries.

The House of Eternal Return
Santa Fe is the birthplace of the original permanent Meow Wolf exhibition. It is truly a monumental achievement in DIY world creation as well as collaboration at 20,000 square-feet offering seventy rooms. The installation was created by community artists who had no idea what they would be starting. Visit an old Victorian house inhabited by a family that has been swept into another dimension through a spiraling void, inside a former bowling alley.
ETG tip: Be aware that the Santa Fe Meow Wolf location is known to be more organic and intimate. I was told by an artist friend of mine (Helen K. Garber) that the Santa Fe installation is fantastic.

Omega Mart
In Las Vegas, Omega Mart expands the Meow Wolf universe into a supermarket-themed installation. Both local and international artists have contributed to this location. It challenges conventional perceptions, as visitors traverse surreal aisles and stumble upon portals leading to fantastical realms.
This exhibition invites “shoppers” to explore beyond the store and uncover interactive art-scapes by the integration of art into everyday objects. Keep your eyes peeled for the not-so-secret bar! CLICK HERE to read my review of Omega Mart in Vegas.
Omega Mart is located in Area 15, 3215 S Rancho Dr #100, Las Vegas, NV 89102; https://www.omegamart.com
The Real Unreal
Meow Wolf’s fourth permanent exhibition titled The Real Unreal can be found at Grapevine, Texas. When an ordinary family encounters the extraordinary, an inspiring tale of chosen family, community, and the power of imagination unfolds within a mesmerizing, interactive arts-cape. Featuring a massive collaboration between Texas as well as Santa Fe based artists, Meow Wolf Grapevine expands into a new era of immersive art and storytelling. It is located at Grapevine Mills (just north of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport). The Real Unreal, Meow Wolf, 3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy Suite 253, Grapevine, TX 76051.
Radio Tave
On October 31, 2024, Meow Wolf opened a fifth permanent exhibition in Houston Texas. Radio Tave celebrates the unknown and all that it can lead to such as unexpected wonder. This beloved community radio station is transported and suddenly has access to an entirely new and different audience. This is a further example of how walking through the unknown, through portals, and accepting new experiences can open your mind and heart.
The Fifth Ward features work of artists across Texas, and is the broadcast location of ETNL radio. Stop by for a drink at the honky-tonk dive bar and meet its entertaining regulars.
