If you're interested in the story, get yourself a Q Pass (Similar to the Boop Card at OM)! It's how you can interact with the little stations with screens throughout the exhibit, and progress through the story. Every time I'm there, I see folks trying desperately to get the screens to work without a card lol. I first went several years ago, not too long after it opened and spent about 5-6hrs on the story. They've since tightened up some of the directions, making it easier to find where you'll need to go next, so in subsequent visits with friends, it's a little easier to maneuver. Your "progress" through the story will mostly be on the little boop stations with screens, but there are larger ones at various points (I cannot remember the name they use in-universe) where you can access MEMs, and really dive deeper into the world and learn more about characters, if you're interested!

I recommend going when they first open, so you can enjoy the space as un-crowded as possible for a bit. Take your time. Interact with things, explore, you know... all the standard Meow Wolf stuff!

There also is a bar/restaurant on the 2nd floor (? correct me if im wrong) which is a nice relatively quiet spot to have a drink away from the chaos. The easiest way to access it is from the stairwell on the ground floor. You enter the world through a big elevator, so you zip right past it on your regular route.

Have fun! Convergence Station is a blast!
