How to Watch PBS Documentary Once Upon a Time in Space

A new immersive entertainment complex, themed after the classic fantasy world of Oz, opened to the public this weekend in downtown Springfield. The 50‑acre site, developed by Horizon Entertainment, features a series of interactive attractions that blend augmented reality with physical sets. According to the park’s opening statement, visitors are “transported into a glimmering, beautiful realm that feels like you’re going to Oz,” a description echoed by early guests who praised the vivid lighting and detailed set pieces.

The complex includes a 360‑degree theater, a maze of crystal‑like tunnels, and a rooftop garden that showcases rare, bioluminescent plants. Park officials say the design team drew inspiration from the original film’s iconic imagery while incorporating modern technology to create a multisensory experience. Tickets, priced at $49 for adults and $39 for children, are available online and at the park’s front‑door kiosk, with special group rates announced for schools and corporate events.

While the park has already attracted more than 10,000 visitors in its first week, Horizon Entertainment plans to expand the experience with seasonal events and a mobile app that offers guided tours. The opening of Oz has been highlighted by local tourism boards as a boost to the city’s cultural offerings, and the park’s management hopes it will become a staple attraction for families and adventure seekers alike.
