A Mind-Blowing Experience at the Universal Sphere! Visiting the Universal Sphere at the Comcast Technology Center was an incredible and inspiring experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re immersed in a beautifully designed space that seamlessly blends art, technology, and storytelling. The Universal Sphere isn’t just a theater—it’s an innovation in cinematic storytelling. The spherical design itself is a marvel, and the moment the experience begins, you’re taken on an awe-inspiring journey that expands your perspective of what’s possible in our universe. The visuals are stunning, the sound is immersive, and the narrative is both thought-provoking and uplifting. The attention to detail is second to none. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience with their enthusiasm and insights. It’s evident that a lot of care and creativity went into making this a memorable attraction. What makes the Universal Sphere even more remarkable is that it’s suitable for all ages. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a dreamer, or just looking for something unique to explore, this experience will leave you inspired and energized. If you’re visiting Philadelphia or near the Comcast Technology Center, the Universal Sphere is an absolute must-see. It’s a perfect blend of innovation and imagination that reminds us all to dream big!

Great surprise exhibit. I knew there was a sphere, and it took my group some searching to find it. The staff in both buildings were outstanding with giving us directions and information. It was very nice that the film inside is free, and there was no line for the next show. We were given a sensory kit for my toddler, just in case he got overwhelmed with the audio or visuals. It was a short but impressive experience inside, with a fun ending. I recommend and will visit again. Shout out to Brandon, the security officer that we ran into downstairs, for his above and beyond service. He made us feel very welcome.

The Universal Sphere is such a unique experience! I visited during the holiday season in December, just before Christmas, and it added a magical touch to the festivities. Tickets are free, but you need to reserve them online in advance – it’s worth the effort. This was my second visit, and it didn’t disappoint! The employees were incredibly funny and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun, engaging activity that’s a little out of the ordinary!

The Universal Sphere is a FREE cinematic experience featuring the short film, "The Power of I." I’ve had fun and a wow moment when I’ve seen it with my own eyes around Christmas time. Film lasted about 15 minutes. You need to make an online reservation to get tickets. The Universal Sphere is located in the upper lobby of the Comcast Technology Center. When you arrive to the building, enter through the first-floor lobby, and take the escalators or elevator to the second floor to access the upper lobby.

Free experience and it was amazing! The staff who greeted us were awesome and super helpful. It's recommended to reserve in advance. And we will definitely do that next time we stop by. Beautiful building and a great coffee stop near by at the Vernick Coffee Bar. I am glad to see a new attraction in the city.
