Meow Wolf Grapevine warns that Unreal Winter, a “multiversal cold front” is sweeping through North Texas this December. This calendar of wintry events promises a “frosty fusion of art, adventure, and seasonal wonder.” Now through December 21, visitors of all ages will be swept into a winterized edition of Meow Wolf Grapevine. The experience is filled with dazzling activities, enhanced art-making, and a one-of-a-kind quest to uncover their “Winter Essence.”
As 2024 melts into the multiverse, the Unreal Winter invites travelers of all timelines to uncover new surprises hidden within The Real Unreal. Whether you’re stepping through a Meow Wolf exhibition for the first time or you’ve mapped every hidden portal of The Real Unreal, this seasonal remix offers fresh mysteries and a festive collision of art, storytelling, and boundary-blurring creativity synonymous with the immersive art exhibition.
The centerpiece of the season is an Unreal Winter quest, a treasure hunt included with admission. Poetic riddles guide guests through hidden artifacts, playful encounters, and a path to the enigmatic Essence Keeper.
