SENSORIUM – Interactive Dark Experience
For the first time at Balttour: Sensorium – the only interactive dark experience in Northern Europe, offering every visitor a unique opportunity to embark on an unforgettable journey through darkness and discover an entirely new dimension of the senses.
Sensorium is recognized as one of the highest-rated specialized museums in Latvia. In 2023, it became a laureate of the Latvian Civic Alliance and the U.S. Embassy awards for innovative social responsibility and philanthropy.
Upon entering Sensorium, visitors step into a special environment where light disappears and vision recedes. In this experience, every touch, sound, and scent becomes more intense.
Visitors can explore four exhibition rooms:
- An art museum with the sounds of a bustling street
- A living room with everyday details
- A café where senses replace sight
- A grocery store where every purchase becomes an exciting discovery
The most significant novelty at Sensorium is the Showdown – a dynamic game where hearing and reaction speed are key. Often described as “table tennis in the dark,” players navigate using only sound, competing in speed and agility with a specially designed ball that emits sound effects. This game is already popular among visually impaired athletes, but it is available to the wider public in Europe for the first time – exclusively at Sensorium in Riga.
“We are proud that Sensorium offers the first opportunity for anyone to try Showdown in Europe. It is not just a sport competition, but a new sensory experience that helps discover the full potential of human senses,” emphasizes the Sensorium team.
In addition to Showdown, Sensorium offers:
- Guided tours completely in the dark with blind guides (for groups up to 30 participants) – an unforgettable experience
- Romantic “Dates in the Dark” – experience intimacy and emotions
- Educational programs for schools – learning through unforgettable sensory experiences
- Team-building events – when a team becomes a single unit in darkness
- Business training in the dark – new perspectives on strategy, communication, and leadership
- Concerts in the dark – music that touches deeper than ever before
- Masterclasses in the dark – inspiration born where there is no light
- Exciting games in the dark – adrenaline, emotions, and fun
Sensorium is an experience that not only surprises and entertains but also stimulates thinking, develops empathy, and opens new doors to the senses.
Location: Galerija Centrs, Audēju Street 16, 4th floor, Riga
