The Rescue is Now Open!
Step into The Rescue, a fully immersive WWII experience set on the Philippine island of Negros in 1944.
Guests are led through three scenic, walk-through environments as they follow the true story of civilians and missionaries forced to flee while Japanese forces hunt Americans and their Filipino allies.
Guided by 7-year-old Berna Real, one of the child refugees, you’ll move through the jungle, hide from danger, and make your way onto the USS Crevalle for a daring escape.
Once aboard the submarine, the tension rises as a Japanese convoy closes in. You will feel the Crevalle dive and experience the danger alongside the crew and the other refugees.
This multi-sensory experience brings a true WWII story to life in an engaging, educational way for history lovers and visitors of all ages.
(May be too intense for young children or those with sensory sensitivities.)
