Innoventions, Anaheim

Innoventions, once a dynamic attraction nestled in the heart of Disneyland, Anaheim, United States, offered a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology and the future of everyday living. This two-story exhibit, located in Tomorrowland, was a hub for innovation and interactive experiences, allowing guests to explore and engage with the latest advancements in science, industry, and health.

Originally opened in 1998, Innoventions occupied the Carousel Theater, a site with a rich history of showcasing progress and futuristic concepts dating back to the 1960s. The attraction went through several iterations over the years, each time reinventing itself to stay abreast of technological trends. Its interactive exhibits were designed to captivate visitors of all ages, from children to adults, with hands-on activities that both educated and entertained.

The lower level of Innoventions featured Project Tomorrow, an array of exhibits that highlighted medical breakthroughs, energy efficiency, and transportation technologies. Guests could virtually design their own roller coaster, learn about sustainable living, or even experience the thrill of a high-speed race in a motion simulator. The upper level, meanwhile, was home to the Dream Home, a collaboration with tech giants and homebuilders to create a living space filled with the latest in smart home innovations.

Throughout its operation, Innoventions partnered with major corporations such as Microsoft, HP, and Siemens to showcase products and concepts that were on the forefront of technological development. These partnerships ensured that the exhibits were not only engaging but also relevant to the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Despite its forward-looking mission, Innoventions closed its doors in March 2015, as the pace of technological change outstripped the ability of a static exhibit to keep up. The space that once housed Innoventions is earmarked for new experiences that continue the tradition of Tomorrowland — to inspire and offer a window into the wonders of the future.
