We went recently and honestly, it exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was no ordinary exhibition. This is a full-on immersive adventure where kids (and adults) get to feel like they’ve been dropped right inside the world of Minecraft.
Frozen caves, dense forests, and deep oceans bring Minecraft to life (Image: Minecraft) The experience kicks off with a short briefing and the handing over of a glowing “Orb of Interaction”—a clever little device that guides you from room to room. From there, it’s game on. You’re given a mission to help save a village from a zombie attack, and the only way to succeed is to gather resources, solve puzzles, and work together.
We moved through several beautifully designed rooms, each styled like different Minecraft biomes. There were forests, icy mountains, spooky caves, and even oceans—with plenty of surprises and characters to meet along the way. My kids loved coming face-to-face with familiar mobs like skeletons and spiders (don’t worry, they’re not that scary), and they were especially excited to interact with friendlier creatures like pandas and dolphins.
Kids and adults alike get swept up in Minecraft’s pixelated world (Image: Minecraft) The crafting stations were a big hit too. You can actually gather ingredients and “craft” items to help complete the quest, just like in the game. The whole experience lasts around 45 minutes, which felt like the perfect amount of time—long enough to get fully stuck in, but not too long for younger kids to stay focused.
What impressed me most was how inclusive it was. You don’t need to know anything about Minecraft to enjoy it. The storyline is easy to follow, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and clearly love what they’re doing.
At the end, everyone gets a limited-edition Minecraft cape to use in the Bedrock Edition of the game—a half-zombie, half-villager design that my kids haven’t stopped talking about since. Tickets are very reasonable too. Prices start from £20 for children and £24 for general admission.
There’s also a VIP “Obsidian Package” from £54 which includes an exclusive merch box, photo pack, and extras—worth it if you're after a special treat. Corner Corner is just a short walk from Canada Water station, and only ten minutes from central London on the Jubilee line, so it’s super easy to get to. The experience opened on April 4 and is running for the foreseeable future, though I’d recommend booking ahead as it’s already proving popular.
You can grab tickets at minecraftexperience.com . Overall, Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue is a brilliant day out.
It’s immersive, imaginative, and most importantly—it’s fun. If your kids are Minecraft fans (or even if they’re not), it’s absolutely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be going back.
