Upon arrival, visitors will receive a replica boarding pass and assume the role of a passenger — following the journey from the ship’s construction to its tragic sinking.

Visitors also have the opportunity to explore recreated rooms and touch an "iceberg" to feel how cold it was when the ship tragically sank.

The traveling exhibit has been viewed by more than 35 million people worldwide and was recently in Boston, Fox News Digital reported.
