If you plan to have 10 or more people with you during your visit, this is considered a group visit.
A Cultural Toast Worth Sharing
Bring your group into a proudly Aruban experience.
In a few hours, you’ll explore 15+ immersive spaces alive with sound, story, and island pride. The path ends with a crisp Balashi at the bar. And from there, the connected Gloria Entertainment Center keeps your evening flowing with film, food, and coffee.

Private Entry Window
Reserve a dedicated start time for your group. You’ll move through the Experience together—indoors, climate-controlled, and right in Oranjestad—then reconnect at the bar for a celebratory glass of Balashi.
The Experience + Dining
Pair your visit with dining at Gloria. You can easily keep it flexible: choose where to eat on the day, or redeem a simple discount by showing your Experience ticket at participating establishments.
The Experience + IMAX Evening
Turn your day into a full night out. Start with the Balashi Beer Experience, toast at the bar, then step into Gloria for a blockbuster on the big screen. Easy timing, one location, zero weather worries.

The finale flows into the bar and Happy Zone, where your group can raise a final toast before stepping directly into Gloria Entertainment Center. That convenience is what makes Balashi stand apart from other Aruban tourist attractions.
Within minutes, your group can:
- Catch a blockbuster in the IMAX theater.
- Grab a quick coffee at the island’s favorite Starbucks.
- Share dinner at PF Chang’s or Olive Garden.
- Wander the food court for casual bites.

- Reserve an event space for private gatherings.
And if you’re still looking to extend the day beyond Gloria, there are other nearby attractions Oranjestad has to offer. The Experience becomes a cultural spark that leads naturally into an authentic Aruban evening.
