Illinois Holocaust Museum Experience360 Entrada

We visited the Illinois Holocaust Museum Experience360 in Chicago not quite knowing what to expect, especially since we’ve previously been to the Holocaust museums in both New York and Washington, D.C. While those are incredibly meaningful, this immersive media experience offers something uniquely powerful. The way the stories are brought to life is deeply moving. The opportunity to engage in an interactive discussion with a Holocaust survivor was unforgettable—personal, emotional, and incredibly impactful. Hearing firsthand how individuals endured and navigated such a tragic chapter in history was both heartbreaking and inspiring. The 3D portion of the experience was equally remarkable. Wearing the goggles and feeling like you were walking through history alongside a survivor created a connection that goes far beyond a traditional museum visit. This is a sobering but meaningful experience that stays with you long after you leave. Five stars and two thumbs up. I highly recommend it for everyone—especially high school students—to truly understand the realities of the Holocaust.

It was a deeply imprinting experience. So many times in history class, we are given dates, names, & numbers. They are never connected to faces or communities. This experience connected me to faces and communities. It pulled me in and helped me see and understand.

It was a truly touching experience to review the history of what my family went through, who are no longer here to tell their story.

The museum was simple but very informative. The price was worth it and we attended both the VR and the hologram presentations. Overall, very eye opening and sobering experience.

Very informative and inclusive exhibit, we were given a tour of the main space after our vr experience. I liked that it included info on multiple genocides rather than just focusing on the holocaust.

Both the hologram and vr were very engaging and interesting. I’m very happy I attended. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions in the hologram exhibit.

It was a very eye opening experience thanks to MJ and Val because they were very informative and kind, they answered all our questions and told us even more, thank you for this experience.

The length of the visit depends on how much you want to see/do. I really enjoyed my first time experience and the VR. Price is reasonable.

Such a moving experience! I have visited other Holocaust exhibits and this one had the most personal connection, including Michael who is a second generation holocaust survivor! He spoke with my friend and I, telling the story of his mother and father. I found myself speechless so many times and had goosebumps.

Space was larger than expected, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very multi modal and interactive experience. Really enjoyed how the real life experiences of survivors was portrayed!
