A Unique Immersive Experience On An Island Near And Dear To Our Hearts


We shouldn't have to drive five, ten hours away to have a memorable family experience.

BVO is for our kids. Our families. Our friends. It's something that Memphis deeply needs. We believe this will be a great thing for our community.

We want our community to have these kinds of experiences without having to leave Memphis. Without having to drive hours away to other cities.

"Doctor Who meets Indiana Jones in a Willy Wonka world of Magic, Science, and the Multiverse."

BVO is turning 33,000 square ft. of Mud Island into an immersive playground and interactive experience.

BVO is a place where you can run, jump, climb, crawl, teleport to alternate universes. In its simplest form is a playground with gaming, original stories, interactive attractions and mashing it all together.

Future projections are not guaranteed

BVO is an amazing opportunity to put Memphis on the immersive experience map.

We believe BVO will become a city destination attraction for worldwide tourism, right in the heart of Downtown Memphis. There's nothing quite like BVO, especially in the south. Not in Nashville, not in Atlanta. BVO is a truly unique experience.

BVO is built on success.

In 2020, we opened Baron Von Opperbean's Exploratorium of Magic, Science and the Multiverse. The story was Quadrant 360. We opened it for a limited run of two months. We put 4000 people through the experience. We sold out in two days!

That's what Quadrant 360 was for. It was a prototype. It proved that an immersive experience could work in Memphis.

The Mississippi River Museum at Mud Island Park

Baron Von Opperbean and the River of Time is being built inside the former site of the Mud Island Museum. That's right, BVO is coming to Mud Island, and reactivating one of most iconic and underutilized assets in Memphis.

So many people have fond memories of Mud Island.

It truly is an amazing space. We're going to honor the hard work of the people that came before us who built the space. We want to reuse many of the existing elements and take them to the next level.

Let’s create something extraordinary for Memphis. 

We need capital and investors to truly make something that's unique to Memphis. Something that’s unique to our community. A destination that will transform the city.

Ultimately, this is a massive undertaking.

We've got filmmakers, spatial audio people, augmented reality, actors, an immersive playground, interactive elements, and story that all goes into this. It's huge.

The immersive entertainment industry is exploding across the world.

Forecasts are off the chart. The Experience Economy is predicted as a wave of economic opportunity. Memphis could be a part of that industry. We have the talent. We have the expertise. We have community support.
