There’s a theme park experience in Orlando where dogs and cats look and act like humans.

We visited the I-Drive attraction to discover the story and cult following behind “Lonely Dog” and the immersive experience.

  1. The Lonely Dog attraction is a walk-through experience based on popular work from a New Zealand artist, author and storyteller, Ivan Clarke.

  2. It has 35 projectors and 5 miles of cable to immerse guests within 360-degrees of cats and dogs who act like us. The projection show is 30 minutes.

  3. Lonely Dog is an orphan hound that grew up in a world where cats and dogs tolerate each other. The creator uses artwork and music to tell an inspiring tale of overcoming oppression.

  4. After the projection show, the attraction has an art gallery featuring Clarke’s work. There’s also a Coloration Room where you, the guest, can draw and color your favorite characters and project them onto the wall for all to see.

  5. Lonely Dog Immersive Experience is on I-Drive at the Orlando International Premium Outlets. It’s open every day of the week starting at 11 a.m.
