## About

Factory Obscura's Mix-Tape in Oklahoma City's vibrant Automobile Alley is a 6,000-square-foot interactive, artist-built indoor wonderland designed for pure sensory discovery. Inspired by the nostalgia of classic 1980s mixtape cassettes, this permanent art installation invites children and adults to literally touch everything. Families explore hidden rainbow tunnels, slide through secret velvet-lined passageways, press tactile musical buttons, and interact with kinetic glowing sculptures created by more than 30 local Oklahoma artists. It provides the perfect warm, imaginative winter indoor escape where kids can expend creative energy without parents worrying about keeping hands to themselves. The gift shop features whimsical art kits, handmade local toys, and retro stickers that inspire young creators.

• Stroller Accessibility: The ground-floor entrance and main sensory labyrinth are stroller accessible; certain crawl spaces and slide features require independent walking or crawling.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Cozy velvet seating nooks scattered throughout the installation; all-gender family restrooms with changing stations available in the lobby.
• Age Suitability: Thrilling for toddlers through teens; tactile textures, fur walls, and glowing lights captivate early learners.
• Sensory Tips: Rich multi-sensory environment with ambient soundscapes and vibrant colored lighting; sensory kits with noise-dampening earmuffs and sunglasses are free at the front desk.
