Since our new flagship opening, VR World was the only VR entertainment space operating consistently with rigorous safety and public health protocols. Our venue features chemical lab like bacteria resistant epoxy flooring, corian-clad surfaces, UV light treatment to sanitize equipment, and 8 x 8 feet partitioned grids between each station.  As the industry leader in hygienic best practices since 2017.

If your goal is to do as much virtual reality as you can, come during the week to avoid wait times between experiences.  The weekends are the busiest – so expect longer wait times. Enjoy a fantastic drink at the bar or digital art in The Vault to pass the time.  We recommend purchasing an All-Day pass during the weekends for longer playtime.

VR World is North America’s largest immersive entertainment destination, featuring over 50 virtual reality experiences, ranging from gaming, art, and film. Tens of thousands of guests have already come through our doors and experienced how we transform VR into a memorable social outing that you’ll want to do again and again with friends and family.

Most experiences are included in our General Admission Pass. From time to time, we offer special features that are unique experiences for an additional cost. Currently, we are showcasing The Flying Jet which is a robotic VR simulator.

Hours are as listed on the main page, but the club level opens 1 hour after opening and closes 1 hour before closing.

Have you ever wanted to paint a canvas in 3D (TILT BRUSH), survive a zombie apocalypse (ARIZONA SUNSHINE), walk on a plank dangling 500 feet off the ground (RICHIE’S PLANK) or fly over the streets of Paris as an Eagle (EAGLE FLIGHT)? All of this and more awaits you at VR World!

VR World is located at 8 East 34 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.
