An immersive Avatar experience is set to make its world premiere in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on May 17, 2027, bringing a walkthrough version of James Cameron's Pandora to Table Rock Centre along with a live acrobatics show. Guests will move through rainforest and coastal reef environments before the roughly 60-minute experience builds into a narrative performance.

Niagara Parks announced it is partnering with EMM Williams Productions to host the world premiere of AVATAR: Guardians of Eywa, according to the agency. The production is being developed by IMMEX, produced by Montreal-based EMM Williams Productions and designed by Moment Factory, as reported by Attractions Management, with Disney Theatrical Group and Lightstorm Entertainment also tied to the project.

Guests will freely explore the Rainforest and Coastal Reef environments, filled with interactive installations inspired by Pandoran flora and fauna, per Niagara Parks' description of the attraction relayed by Fever. From there, the experience continues into a narrative acrobatics show that traces the Na'vi cycle of life, the same listing notes. Fever places the attraction at Table Rock Centre, 6650 Niagara Parkway, Niagara Falls, Ontario.

How Long the Show Runs and When Tickets Go Live

The experience is expected to last approximately 60 minutes, according to Attractions Magazine, which also confirmed the May 17, 2027, premiere date at Table Rock Centre. The outlet notes that, unlike Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom, this version will not require guests to enter a theme park or board a ride. For those hoping to get in early, Fever's listing adds that waitlist members can access ticket sales 24 hours before the general on-sale begins.

Opening day details were also covered by Country 106.5 WYRK, which described the attraction as a walkthrough experience combining large-scale multimedia environments with live acrobatics in one continuous journey, per Niagara Parks. That station's report ties the project back to Cameron, who created the Avatar franchise and has roots in Niagara Falls.

How Long the Run Will Last Is Still Unsettled

Exactly when the Niagara Falls run will wrap remains unclear, and the two outlets that have reported on it do not agree. Attractions Magazine reports performances are scheduled through early September 2027, with the exact final date not yet announced. Insauga.com, however, reports that Niagara Parks has scheduled the run to begin May 17 and continue until Labour Day weekend, citing David Adames. The same report notes the run could extend past Labour Day if demand warrants additional time.

Adames, speaking to insauga.com, said adult tickets would likely range from $55 to $60, though that figure is described as an expectation rather than a confirmed price. He also said each showtime would accommodate between 500 and 600 guests, with Niagara Parks expecting three to six shows a day — again framed as a projection rather than a locked-in schedule.

Part of a Bigger Immersive Push at Niagara Parks

Adames framed the Avatar experience as part of a broader shift in how tourist destinations are trying to draw crowds. These immersive experiences are a trend right now in tourism, he said, noting that museums, galleries and more public spaces are developing similar attractions, the same account states. He pointed to Niagara Takes Flight, which opened in 2025, as an earlier example of the park system's push into immersive programming.

With the May 17, 2027, premiere date locked in and the closing date still to be finalized, Niagara Parks and its production partners have months to sort out the remaining logistics before guests start walking through Pandora's rainforest canopy on the Canadian side of the falls.
