Zoocade, the first holographic zoo in the United States, opened in Austin, Texas, on February 14, 2025. Created by Axiom Holographics, this innovative attraction uses holographic technology to project realistic animal images, including elephants, giraffes, and even dinosaurs. Visitors can interact with these holographic animals in a 60-foot-long tunnel and intimate group rooms, enhancing the educational experience in a cruelty-free environment.

The AR technology at Zoocade creates three-dimensional and interactive animal projections, offering a more realistic experience than virtual reality. This ethical alternative to traditional zoos eliminates the need for captive animals, providing a better educational wildlife experience without stereotypic behaviors. Located in Austin, Zoocade is open Thursdays through Sundays, with ticket prices ranging from $25 to $65, offering a unique and innovative entertainment experience for visitors.
