Lonely Dog Immersive Experience — Attraction in Orlando

I am definitely recommending Lonely Dog. Personally I like unique places that aren't crowded. Trying to find something for our family is very difficult. My daughter is 23 and is into digital art and sketching and I was worried after reading reviews that this might be a little childish for my daughter who is in college.

First, we watched the movie and everyone in the room (including myself was glued to the story, visual, and music). There was also a family with a 4 year old in the room as well and she was into it as much as our family was.

The movie has amazing sketching, artwork, CGI, and the story line is kid and adult friendly. After the movie there is a room with works of art from the movie. My daughter spent close to an hour there. The art was amazing.

We next went to a room that had coloring pages and tables where crayons were available on the table to color them in. Once you are done they post your coloring on the wall. My daughter didn't want to do this but they allowed her to draw an image from the movie and we were able to post it on the wall (SO COOL THANK YOU!!!!)

The next room was an area with backdrops and props. The cool thing is there was a lady (that works there) and unlike everywhere else in the are she takes pictures of your family with your phone (thank goodness they don't nickel and dime you on this). Very few times do we get family photos of all of us together, (usually it's me not in the picture, taking the picture) The backdrops were really cool.

Next we paid an extra $5 to let my daughter do the VR experience. She totally enjoyed it and would have done the experience again but we were running short of time.

The next area was an amazing ball pit area. Not your typical Chuck E Cheese ball pit. This had clear balls with an amazing back drop. The room was so pretty. I was suprised, when they encouraged adults to enjoy this. I am older adult and a little reserved, not my husband (who is 55) he played in the ball pit with our daughter and they were in there for about 30 minutes laughing having a great time and the videos I have were soooo funny. After a 5 minute guilt trip I got in the ball pit as well. They encourage families to do this.

At the end there is a gift shop and yes after watching the movie and looking at the art I bought the book and a few more items as well.

In all I enjoyed Lonely Dog, maybe it's not marketed well and if it wasn't for a 2 minute spot on the local news I would have never known about this place. It is unique. If you love cats or dogs you will love this place. Thank goodness the tourists don't know about this place, so it is a hidden gem. This place is worth the time and worth the money. I will definitely do this again. We are going next week with my mom who is 74.

I am hoping this place stays open, because it is one of the few places that ages 2-60 will enjoy if you love art,...

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I came across The Lonely Dog Immersive Experience in my search for a venue to accommodate my large family for a repass after the memorial of a loved one. It was nice from the pics online, but I decided to visit in person and was absolutely stunned! An immersive experience it was! I was fortunate to speak with Cliff (owner) and Renato (manager) and they offered me a package that was perfect for our family need. We reserved the Umbrella Room, Coco Kitz and the Café Terra. Our goal was to create an experience that would lift the sorrowful nature of the occasion to one that celebrated our loved one’s vibrance!

Everything leading up to the event including communication was great. We had slight changes to what we initially planned for the layout, but Cliff and Renato’s suggestive changes were perfect for our event. One of my biggest concerns going into planning this event was the event set-up, but that concern went out the door with the package we received.

One of the staff, Nataly, was amazing as she led the event set up for us. I stopped by the day before to show her how I wanted everything set up and she superseded expectations! Upon arrival the day of the event, we were blown away as we entered the Umbrella room. It was beautifully arranged. Everything was clean and well kept. One thing that stood out, were the napkins that were folded as a rose and coordinated with our rose centerpieces, which were inspired by our loved one’s nickname, “Rose”.

The rest of the staff were also amazing! I hardly had to lift a finger. They told me to just let them know what I wanted, and they did it. They assisted with serving the food and at one point, the line was backed up, so I asked one of my relatives to assist with the serving. Renato (manager) noticed and immediately stepped in to help, replacing her and allowing her to fully enjoy the experience.

We had a DJ and Coco Kitz was our dancefloor! It was like being at a lounge with the bar and great music. I have received great feedback from everyone in attendance that they absolutely “loved” the entire experience (the Immersive Show, Art Gallery, Coloring Room, Selfie Salon, Whale Pit and Virtual Reality). There was something for everyone. Everyone said that it was the best funeral they have ever attended! Quite an oxymoron but we couldn’t have achieved our goal of lifting the spirit of the occasion without the amazing team at Lonely Dog. Thanks again for all that was done for us to ensure our final send-off of our loved one was an...

We tend to find the unique things to do when we get out and about. We found this on a things-to-do website. Having done our first one of these immersive experiences in Tokyo at the Teams Lab Immersive experience, our bar on this ones expectation was set high. "The World of Alveridge… is a rich and vivacious fantasy world where cats and dogs live together in Port Alveridge." The premise is that the artist painted fabulous landscapes and his three dogs inspired him to change from great landscapes to a kind of kitchy cartoony dogs and animals edginess of pop art on par with a cross between Kincaid and a bit of a subdued Warhol. In either case it's a well done cute mix of the story from the artists book about the pretend land that his dogs might live in if they were bipeds. The story is the one room with many synchronized projectors both on the walls and truncated projection on curved floor screens. It is technically, well organized and video matched for transitioning moving boats, flying boar planes and animals across multiple screens. While it does not have as many rooms as the Team Lab one, it does the job on a short 30 minute show. There weren't many people there when we were there as it was Memorial Day, but still it's a unique kind of presentation. If you follow art you may know Ivan Clark for his landscapes, but this is the continuation of his effort. It's only $25 so it's not bad and worth seeing. But it's not for everyone. While the whole show is mixed media paintings sketches, rendered maps and cell shaded 3D animation, which is very detailed, the thing is over in 30 minutes. Like any theme park show you are dumped out into the ride themed store. Expecting there to be another room made it a bit anticlimactic and the only real items for sale were large scale prints which were a bit pricey in my opinion. We sometime buy original art pieces or embellished gicclea, so I might have even bought a print, but they are very large. So you'd have to be ok with this fantasy stylized landscape animal work as a major focus on you're room to buy one. But if you like this art style then great. But be prepared to pay $400+ for poster prints. There is a gift shop for branded merchandise for those not wanting to take home copies of the art. Not a definite must see, but it's definitely not something you see elsewhere on I Drive in Orlando. And that's what...
