Do you have a favorite superhero? I always have a hard time deciding and it often depends on which movie I've watched most recently and enjoyed, though I must admit I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Thor (maybe because he looks kind of like Antho) and Ragnarok was some of the most fun I've had at a movie in quite a while. We went and saw it in "D-box", which is an interactive chair that moves and helps immerse you even deeper into the action going on in the screen! It was a lot of fun and during the flight scenes, fight scenes, and rest of the movie our chairs would angle and thump, recreating the sensation of flight or the vibrations from sitting in the bleachers while a serious injury occurs on the screen ahead. We actually made it a double feature and caught Justice League in D-box, too, but since this post is about Marvel's Avengers Station I won't dawdle with any further talk of D.C. related shenanigans.
Tickets are required for entry into the Avenger's Station, so this isn't necessarily a super-budget-friendly option if you've got a large tribe. Since it was just the two of us it wasn't too bad and we had a lot of fun! Once you find your way to it the experience begins in the gift shop, where you'll find all sorts of fun goodies for your favorite in the fandom. There's also life-size Iron Man suits, statues of the Avengers, Funko Pops for the collectors, and so much more- there's even fancy luggage for those who want to be low-key while they take their fandom on the road. I believe the experience has determined start points, which might have to do with the size of the party as we were joined by several others who began the tour at the same time. Before the tour starts you get to wander the store freely, giving you plenty of time to ponder any potential souvenirs or must-get items for when you return.
There are plenty of photo opportunities both inside and before the tour, and photographs were welcomed! This is great fun because inside the exhibit you'll find awesome things like Captain America's shield and his bike, both of which are intended for you to interact with. Smart folks optimising photo opportunities to spread the #hashtag and location tagging awareness. Free promotion, right? Here's my contribution to further that end and share some of the awesomeness of the experience with those of you who might not be fortunate enough to be able to visit! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed our visit. I've recommended it to multiple people now when asked about things to do in town, too. It's packed full of fun and informative exhibits teaching you more about the histories and science behind your favorite Avengers and lets you get up close and personal with some of their tools!

We weren't worthy, unfortunately. 😓
That's all this time, folks!
XOXO,
