Meow Wolf: Convergence Station - Denver, CO

hey you all carpetbagger here coming to you live from the west more specifically denver colorado and even more specifically than that we are here to visit finally visit meow wolf denver now the meowth is the third meow wolf installation i have been covering them here on this channel the first installation was meow wolf house of eternal return that popped up in santa fe new mexico i stopped there not really knowing what to expect and i was absolutely blown away it takes interactive art environment to a new level and uh a few years later they they announced they were opening other meowth locations earlier this year i was able to visit the newly opened omega mart meow wolf of mega mart in las vegas and uh the the the third location um is actually opening it open just a few days ago here in denver now the first the first meal they all have different themes the first meow wolf house of eternal return it's a suburban house but uh you go in and things are not quite right and it takes you into different worlds or different portals to different worlds omega mart is a surreal grocery store with some some dark secrets going on and uh now we are here at the third meow wolf location it is known as the convergence station it is apparently it is the convergence of four dimensions we'll have to kind of experience this to get uh the full scope of it but the idea is i guess it is like a public transit station possibly for four different dimensions i'm super excited about this the meow wolf locations are in the absolute top tier of uh of attraction as far as i'm concerned is the future of the roadside attraction so please follow me [Music] just look at this building it's very fascinating you see that actually the freeway like wraps around the building they built it like in a corner there between these two raised parts of the freeway incredibly efficient and effective use of space it's very interesting got here a little early you can see the workers getting the convergence station ready for the public this creature here emerging from the dirt is known as the plethodon almost looks like a axolotl or some sort of salamander so one quick note i do want to say um i got to the front of the line they asked that i not bring my camera in they said phones are allowed but they were frowning on bringing in any sort of other camera it should be fine i just wanted to make a note of that all right so here we are inside the convergence station it's almost like a set up like a subway station with different uh different departure areas for the different dimensions it's recommended to me to start here at c street departures interesting statue here this gentleman all right all right heading into this elevator for the sea lions if you should happen to lose any memories or suffer from frequent deja vu while student converges please contact one of our local residents as they'll be happy to lend amendments thank you for traveling with die and welcome to speech all right here is c street the media news to prank here on the newspaper see this is like you see this a lot at meow wolf there's there's story lines hidden things you could spend years unraveling all these stories with all these little clues don't really know what this is also it's like a sort of street vending car [Music] it's written in a foreign language [Music] this looks like some sort of butcher shop here yeah look at that pig like a see-through pig with some organs there some uh blue and green ham a little frog back there with the wing oh wow there's so much my god [Music] some sort of truck-like vehicle here we can peek inside oh weird is this the nervous system of the truck weird this is crazy just look at this walking down the street here another dimension this is wow just trying to take this take this all in [Music] so what you watching there uh right now it looks like a little commercial i'm waiting for the votes the votes yeah so we have a new mayor vote every 20 minutes 20 minutes just so nobody holds too much power that makes sense but right now i can show you [Music] yeah yeah yeah wormy's looking real good to me this time [Music] yeah you can register so

boiler interesting things inside all the people writing bugs little tiny people a giant bug world they smashed smashed cell phones being smashed apart by little tiny people oh what's this oh my gosh cathedral [Music] you know it's hard to tell the dimensions apart because they kind of i guess they're converging which is kind of the theme but this looks like a new dimension that we've stumbled on you can see the cathedral rotating there [Music] [Music] levers do anything figures there on top of the oregon walrus [Music] this giant robot here seen people sitting in his lap his laps a big chair [Music] some sort of control panel [Music] all right these buttons here are here to actually control the constellations [Music] cut up this staircase here [Music] good view of the chapel right here there's a what's this here we go from the intergalactic chapel to laundromat oh my gosh what is in that laundry machine [Music] oh someone put the bricks the bricks and the uh washing machine [Music] [Music] machine that distributes uh different types of laundry cleaner oh it's a secret passage i don't i don't know where i just ended up actually kind of difficult here to figure out what you have and haven't seen so you don't really know when you've reached the end of meow wolf oh it's just a little room full of faces it just got dark [Music] all right i think we've actually seen most of what there is to see so we're gonna head back down to the lobby in the station that was meow wolf's convergence station and wow i it absolutely uh absolutely lives up to the hype was worth the wait and compared to the other male wolves i don't know i can't like pick and choose which ones are my favorite so i love them so much but um this is seems like more a little more expensive this is the most fleshed out or maybe just largest meow wolf exhibit the the the the different dimensions converging um is kind of a different theme that they're using and i think it gives the artists a lot of leeway on what they can create what they can add to uh to the meow wolf environment um like i said i probably miss stuff in there it is so big it is so you know as you travel around you can't sometimes you can't really tell which way you're going you kind of just discover at your own pace like i said there's there's secret story lines you can work them out there's so much you could you could spend all day you could come out here to denver it's been a week um just examining meow wolf um but yeah check out my other videos on the other two meow wolf locations omega mart and the house of eternal return
