Out of the dome and into a giant-screen cinema — be one of the first to experience the world of Mesmerica in a whole new way with Mesmerica XL!

A unique symphony of mesmerizing music and hypnotic 3D-animated visuals, Mesmerica was created as an artistic collaboration between Grammy-nominated musician James Hood and a global community of artists.

This epic experience has been designed to transcend time, relax the mind, and stimulate your senses, and now is bigger than ever in this new XL giant-screen presentation.


“I want 'Mesmerica' to inspire you into taking a journey with me inside the mind, to engage your senses and feelings with a miraculous alchemy of sound and light!”

- James Hood, Show Creator

Is the show suitable for guests who are prone to seizures or motion sickness?

There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures. Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.

Is the show suitable for autistic people?

We have found that autistic people LOVE our shows! Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required. Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.

Venue Information

Erie Exterior

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center (TREC) looks like it arises naturally from its surroundings at the entrance to Presque Isle State Park. Here in this two-story structure of brick, glass, and steel, visitors will discover a 75-foot observation tower, 7,000 square feet of exhibits, a Presque Isle orientation theater, a research wing, and Presque Isle Gallery and Gifts. Among the most impressive features of the center is a large-format theater, the first of its kind in the Pennsylvania state park system.

The Big Green Screen theater is equipped with the most modern technology available for large-format movie projection. The four-story-high, 45-foot wide screen puts you as close to reality as you can get without being there!

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center, 301 Peninsula Drive Suite 1, Erie PA, 16505
