This was really neat! It can be a bit of a sensory overload though and a little overwhelming until you figure out you can loop around to where you started.

For the overwhelming part, there is SO MUCH to see. There is a lot to look at, a lot to find, and a lot to explore. You don't know where to go because everything looks so cool and you end up wandering away. However, if you wander long enough you'll end up where you were. The staff recommended starting on "C Street" and indeed wandering out of C Street eventually led us right back to C Street. This was also part of the joy as we would be wandering and then laugh when we realized we were back at C Street. The only downside is everything leads in and out of everything else and eventually it urs together and you have no idea how to get back to a section. We became slightly lost but thankfully I took pictures and was able to say "we went to the laundry room and then my next picture was the castle."

Staff seems wander around, I saw the lady that gave me my bundle at the front desk at the elevator to C Street, then randomly somewhere else. It's nice though because you can ask where bathrooms are (the bathrooms are sometimes as hidden as the other rooms).

There are a few rooms that aren't as visited and can provide a nice respite from the crowds, but once discovered people tend to crowd in. But it does mean you can find a quiet, secluded spot here and there and sometimes it's off the "beaten path".

I recommend not boxing yourself in with something time sensitive planned after Meow Wolf so you can spend as long as you want. There is a little cafeteria sort of thing on the first floor, and a lounge on the second. Food and beverages are not allowed outside of these areas. The cafeteria was a little on the expensive side, but I think that's to be expected.

We also did the Q Pass, which is hard to explain but it's sort of a game? You're basically scanning a card at stations throughout Convergence Station and collecting memories, which turns into a storyline about some missing people and like end of the world. I didn't understand it 100%, I thought we just had to find all the stations but you do have to go back and rescan stations, which after a while seemed kind of tedious. We didn't complete the game, but it did get us to areas we thought we had been and had missed before we decided to call it a day.

Backpacks are not allowed, nor is any outside food or beverages. Water bottles must be emptied prior to security and I only noticed one set of drinking fountains. Boxed water can be purchased at the cafeteria.

We spent four hours exploring Convergence Station and I think we only called it quits just because it got to be a little overstimulating and then tedious with the Q Pass wanting us to go back to stations we already found. Occasionally lines at the memory stations get a little long and if someone unlocks a video it creates a longer wait. There is also a whole mythology here and you could really get in depth with the interactive things, like books but sometimes there is some pressure from other people waiting to look too.

Dress coolly because it got rather warm in there, especially small areas with a lot of people. Wearing good shoes should go without saying. Also, I don't know how much small children would enjoy it. It's bright and has some stuff to interact with, but I heard a few smaller ones say they were bored because I don't think they really "got" it. I loved it though, the secret laundry room one of the kids thought was boring inspired me to buy some art in the gift shop for our laundry room at home.

Overall this was a really fun experience and I am so glad we went! I can't wait to go to other Meow Wolf locations and I would certainly visit this one again.
