With the help of computer technology, VR – short for Virtual Reality, is an immersive experience in which users are teleported into a 3D World. The senses of hearing, touch, and vision are stimulated in the interactive world which the computer is the gatekeeper of. The users’ eyes are the guide and every single movement is tracked and the graphics react accordingly.

Users will wear either an Oculus, HTC Vive, or Samsung Gear headset. Each has a set of different experiences and teleports the user into an artificial world where the limitations are endless. Some experiences are completely hands-free and some require use of controls similar to electronic games.

Users will purchase a pass, which unlocks participation in over fifty unique experiences. Guides will lead users through each experience and ensure a full understanding of the equipment.

Depending on the experience each should last between 5-10 minutes.

Guests have a number of choices to experience VR World. From one experience and a 2-hour pass to a one day unlimited pass. Prices start at $25.

Users must be 7+ years old. Some experiences require physical movements.

Since VR World is set like a museum or an attraction, every individual who wishes to go past our admission’s desk has to purchase a ticket, even if deciding not to partake in experiencing VR themselves.

VR World is located at 4 East 34^th St. New York, NY 10016, steps from the Empire State Building. Take subway lines B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, W to Herald Square or line 6 to 33 Street Station.

A full bar will serve guests that are 21+. VIP rooms and event spaces are available upon reservation at additional cost.

VR World is spread over three levels and approximately 15,000 square feet. Each level has different virtual reality experiences that have been developed to date.

VR World is the largest virtual reality experience center located in North America and the Western Hemisphere. It features the finest and most diverse virtual reality experiences that can be used in a public setting. Unlike other venues that concentrate on a single area or genre, VR World aims to deliver the best of virtual reality taking its guests to as many destinations as possible. Each guide is truly passionate about what they do, which makes for an easy and highly entertaining time while at VR World.

There’s really no such thing. Each guest finds their favorite on their own from shooting droids in space and fighting off zombies to racing on a track, flying on a paraglider, watching short films or painting   in our unique green room.
