All About Titanic: The Exhibition

Produced by Imagine and following highly successful stops in Chicago, Dallas and Salt Lake City that welcomed more than 700,000 visitors, the exhibition’s visit to Charlotte continues the public’s timeless fascination with the legendary ocean liner.

“Titanic: The Exhibition” is an interactive experience chronicling the amazing story of the design, construction, launch, maiden voyage and tragic ending of the largest and most luxurious ship in the world at that time.

Upon “boarding,” guests receive a boarding card to trace a real passenger’s journey. Visitors step into re-created first- and third-class cabins to experience life on board. From there, they proceed through galleries showcasing more than 300 artifacts from the Titanic and other White Star Line vessels of that period, and discover the ship’s resting place 2.5 miles down on the ocean floor.

The journey concludes at a memorial wall, where guests reflect on the 1912 tragedy and learn the fate of their assigned passenger.

Music from the era plays throughout the exhibit as patrons view exquisitely detailed re-creations of the ship’s interiors, including a replica of the ship’s famous Grand Staircase, the first-class hallway and millionaires’ suite, the third-class hallway and accommodations, the boiler room and the ship’s exterior promenade deck complete with a starry night sky.

The Discovery Gallery is dedicated to discovery and research of the Titanic’s wreckage site and features a raised glass floor simulating the sea-floor debris field where the ship came to rest. The gallery includes a captivating film that provides an in-depth look at the forensic research related to the collision, break-up and sinking of the Titanic.

One of the most popular exhibits brings guests face to face with an actual iceberg under a starlit night sky. Guests are encouraged to touch the iceberg, chilled to the actual temperature of the water in the North Atlantic the night the ship sank.

A special Carolinas Connections gallery showcases ties that both North and South Carolina have to the Titanic. Did you know the Vanderbilts purchased tickets to the ship’s maiden voyage? How about the interesting discovery within the last 20 years that the Cape Hatteras Weather Station was the only station that received the initial distress signal from the doomed ocean liner?

A companion VR Experience, available as an optional add-on, allows guests to descend 2.5 miles beneath the Atlantic Ocean’s surface to the Titanic’s final resting place. Once there, they view firsthand what it’s like to explore the ship in its present condition. Guests can also choose to enhance their journey with an optional audio guide, providing a rich narrative with additional in-depth stories.

      My siblings and I were super fascinated with the Titanic as kids. I made a project in 5th Grade about it and cut/painted my tri-fold board to look like the Titanic haha. Would love to win to teach my kids about it!

  12. David Butterworth says

    My wife and I would love to see the exhibit.
    Our 50th wedding anniversary is coming up soon, this would be a treat!

  14. George Care says

    This certainly appears to be a wonderful exhibit. I have always been interested in the untimely sinking of this elegant ship. I would be very happy to win!

  16. Nancy L. Bokhoor says

    A time and place to remember what the survivors and lost souls endured on the Titanic and what their families must’ve felt of this fateful trip.
    I would so much like to attend this show and pay tribute to them.

  18. Paula Wright says

    I grew up watching the Titanic movie over, and over again! I would love to share my love of the Titanic with my kids!

  19. Denise Bunker says

    The opportunity to take my husband to this exhibit would be amazing. I am fascinated by the Titanic and he loves history. It’s an outing we would both enjoy.

  20. Tom Warfield says

    I’m retiring this week. This would be a perfect first trip of my new life adventures!

  23. Kate Rachel Lozier says

I’m fascinated by the history, the stories, and the incredible details that bring this moment in time to life. It would be a dream come true to experience it in Charlotte and see the artifacts up close.
    Fingers crossed for the opportunity to visit this amazing exhibit with my family! 🤞✨

  25. Angie Newton says

    I would love to be able to surprise my mom with tickets to the Titanic Exhibit!!!! We both absolutely have always been very interested in the Titanic!! This would be a great experience/memory for us to do together!!

  28. Talesha says

    I love learning about the Titanic. It’s so interesting. I had the movie when it first came out in the 90’s as a kid on VHS. I remember it came as 2 VHS tapes because the movie was so long! I would love to see this.

  29. Michelle says

    I was obsessed with Titanic facts when I was a child. I would love to win tickets!

    “I would be incredibly grateful to win tickets to Titanic: The Exhibition at the Park Expo & Conference Center in Charlotte! This isn’t just another museum visit—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime immersive journey that brings one of history’s most captivating tragedies to life in a deeply personal way.
    As a mother who’s always been fascinated by the Titanic story, I’ve shared books and documentaries about the ship with my family for years. My 10-year-old nephew Javonte is obsessed with the engineering and the stories of survival, while my 8-year-old Neice Lily loves the elegant fashion and personal passenger tales from the era. Bringing them to this exhibition would create such meaningful family memories—watching their eyes light up as they receive their own boarding cards, follow a real passenger’s journey, and discover whether their assigned person survived that fateful night of April 15, 1912.
    The experience sounds perfect for us: walking through recreated first- and third-class cabins to understand the stark differences in life aboard, marveling at the replica Grand Staircase with period music filling the air, exploring over 300 authentic artifacts, and then heading into the Discovery Gallery to see the wreck site 2.5 miles down. The new “Titanic’s Connections to the Carolinas” gallery will be especially meaningful for us as a North Carolina family, tying right into local history with the Cape Hatteras distress signals. 
    Winning these tickets would turn a regular summer weekend into an unforgettable educational adventure for our family of four (including my husband , who teaches history). It aligns perfectly with our goal of hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity in the kids while we all reflect together at the memorial wall. With previous stops drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors, I know this will be a highlight we’ll talk about for years. 
    Thank you for the opportunity—fingers crossed we get to board as a family and trace those passenger stories together!
