Bubble Planet: An Immersive Experience - Los Angeles

Bubble Planet in LA's Arts District is one of those experiences that looks good in photos but is even better in person — which is a higher bar than most immersive pop-ups clear. Located in a warehouse space on Mateo Street, the experience guides visitors through a series of rooms featuring giant transparent bubble sculptures, UV-lit installations, and interactive bubble-themed environments.

For kids who've grown up in the age of immersive experiences, Bubble Planet delivers the format they expect while being genuinely creative enough to hold attention. The suspended bubble room — where kids walk among giant transparent spheres — consistently gets the best reactions. Younger kids (5-8) tend to be wide-eyed in wonder.

Older kids (9-14) immediately want the best photo angles. Either way, everyone's engaged.

The experience runs approximately 60-90 minutes for most visitors who don't rush. It's a timed-entry format, so you'll need to book in advance — the morning slots are best for photo quality (better light, fewer people).

The Arts District location is a bonus for parents: Mateo Street has some of LA's best restaurants within walking distance. After Bubble Planet, grab lunch at Zinc Cafe or Bavel, or walk toward Little Tokyo for more affordable ramen or Japanese options.

At $20-25 per person, it's not cheap for a 90-minute experience, but the 4.8 Google rating across 1,000+ reviews suggests families consistently find it worth it. Closed Tuesdays — always check before booking.
