That’s our first day of expeditions complete! 🌿🏕️

We have had some brilliant feedback after today - our explorers really enjoyed being in the jungle, here’s what a few of them have said:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘The transformation of the space was great, it felt like you were really in the jungle’
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘All the little details were incredible, from the opening area into the main space’
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘The sound and lighting were so detailed and accentuated each area’

We're really looking forward to welcoming more explorers tomorrow to help Erica Swann uncover the truths of the Aztec jungle! 🏞️
