Las Vegas, Nevada – June 20, 2023 – The beloved little blue Smurfs have partnered with Las Vegas-based SEE Touring Exhibitions Inc. to create an innovative new digital interactive experience, powered by XSpace, that will transport visitors into the magical world of the Smurfs.
The new attraction, called “SMURFS – THE ADVENTURE”, will launch on the XSpace platform, a cutting-edge technology developed by Smart Entertainment, Ltd., to create an interactive experience like no other.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with SEE Touring Exhibitions Inc. to bring the Smurfs to life in a whole new way,” said Philippe Glorieux, CMO and Head of Family Entertainment Experiences at IMPS/Lafig, the worldwide Licensor of the Smurfs. “This attraction will be a must-Smurf experience for young fans.”
