DATALAND will be only a little cheaper than Disneyland. Tickets to Refik Anadol's museum of AI art go on sale Thursday, May 14, at 10 AM. They're priced at $49–$79 for "standard access" and $89–$129 for "premium access." There will be special pricing for children, students, seniors, active-duty military, and persons with disabilities (not yet disclosed). 

Also like Disneyland, DATALAND will have corporate sponsors for exhibits. They range from the mundane (Epson and LG Electronics) to big tech (NVDIA and Google Cloud), Hollywood (CAA), and luxury brands (L'Oréal). Some of what you'll experience will be product placements. Upscale chocolatier Valerie Gordon is collaborating on an "exclusive, limited-edition edible experience" involving "immense datasets of cacao genetics" and "a first-of-its-kind dialogue between algorithmic data processing and human culinary intuition." Bottom line: "an avant-garde four-piece tasting collection."

DATALAND (they're insisting on all-caps) opens June 20, 2026, in Frank Gehry's The Grand, Los Angeles.
