Mind of a Serial Killer: The Experience

A below-ground true-crime exhibition rebuilds crime scenes as the first detectives found them, ending with a VR case you have to solve yourself.

ImmersiveTrue crime

True-crime podcasts have made everyone an armchair profiler, and this is the version where you have to walk the room and pick the evidence out yourself. The recreations are staged to the condition detectives found them in rather than built for shock value. Timed slots run from ten in the morning to nine at night on Friday and Saturday, so it fits almost any plan.

What to expect

Ninety minutes to two hours, entirely below ground, on timed entry slots. Ages 14 and up only, and there is a digital waiver to sign before entry. Prices shift by day and slot, and a booking fee applies per ticket.

Good to know

  • Ages 14 and up; every guest signs a digital waiver before entry.
  • Last entry is 9 PM Friday and Saturday, 8 PM Sunday.
  • Allow ninety minutes to two hours; the finale is a VR evidence-gathering case.
