National Geographic Encounter is an interactive entertainment attraction in New York City that offers a virtual ocean experience through a high-tech, immersive journey designed to simulate life beneath the sea. Guests move through scenes featuring encounters with a 50-foot humpback whale, a kelp forest maze, playful sea lions, a luminous coral reef, sharks, and dolphins—without getting wet. The attraction opened in Times Square on October 6, 2017 and is produced by Times Square Attractions Live, LLC, developed with a global team of designers and visual effects professionals. Positioned in the entertainment providers industry, the attraction serves visitors seeking innovative, immersive experiences and is operated by a small team based in New York. In 2018, the offering expanded with Planet or Plastic, an initiative by National Geographic to raise awareness about ocean plastic waste. The venue is located at 226 West 44th Street in New York.
