Our attraction creates immersive, story-telling, memorable moments. Our attraction is location inside of Opry Mills, and one of our new projects is designing a new, fresh, exciting exterior wall – Entrance 5 of Opry Mills. This exterior wall will showcase our attraction as a must see Nashville tourist attraction.
The other project is launching a new dynamic wax figure 3rd quarter of this year. We are also re-launching our Magic Wand Foundation designated to provide Magic for child that are experiencing serious illness, adversity and/or disability. Our foundation will provide complimentary passes to visit our attraction as a “magical day out. Our attraction is also now open as a venue that can rented for private events.” Lastly, we have ongoing relationships and partnerships launching civic group and youth outings for our attraction.
