Fly me to the Moon, Gorilla!

Columbus millennials who missed the Golden Age of air travel and baby boomers who want to reminisce can take part in an immersive pop-up experience called “Pan Am Layover Lounge” at Gorilla Cinema at the River & Rich complex in Ohio’s capital city.

Casto brought Gorilla Cinema to downtown Columbus to complement the fine arts theme of its new residential and retail center, and Gorilla won’t disappoint this holiday season.  Ticket holders arriving to the “immersive experience” are greeted by Pan Am stewardesses in period attire who escort them to the Lounge and ply them with pre-flight libations from the cocktail cart.

Upon “takeoff,” passengers can be winged to one of several destinations:  Havana, London, Hawaii, the North Pole, or the Moon.

Tickets for the 45-minute experiences, which accommodate just 12 people at a time, are $65. A $35 “First Class” upgrade gets you early boarding and champagne.
