James Turrell's Twilight Epiphany Skyscape

Reviewed By Traveler2009 - Toronto, Canada

I was a bit worried after the so so reviews posted. Seeing the impact the different lights have on how the sky looks like, was awesome. And totally unexpected. There is no music with the entire experience being very visual. Once the light show starts , the views are spectacular from the outside, observing the overall structure and from the inside looking up towards the sky. The views from level up the stairs was not so impressive. I would suggest to visit and experience all three levels ; clearly a case of experiencing different points of view ... The attraction is located on the Rice University campus. If you drive, the closet parking lot is west 2. Payment is by credit card only. Once you park, walk back past the side where the entrance to the lot is. Keep walking about 50 meters back on the one way street that reaches the parking lot and you will find the installation in the middle of a large open space. This attraction is probably best experienced when it’s warm outside. I would strongly recommend it and I will return if in the area
