When coronavirus hit the news, we were ready. VR World has been a leader in hygiene for entertainment since 2017. We have installed rigorous cleaning protocols from the first day of operations back in 2017. Here’s a short list of why a trip to VR WORLD IS AN ESCAPE TO AN ISLAND OF PEACE.
- Everyone is required to wear a sanitary face mask for use with headsets. It’s free and makes for some great selfies!
- Headsets and controllers are disinfected after each use.
- Employees are required to wash hands, wear gloves, and use hand sanitizer throughout the day. Guests are offered ample supplies and are encouraged to do the same.
- Bathrooms are stocked with bactericidal soap and equipped with touch-less dryers.
- Wet cleaning and disinfection is performed every night, seven days a week.
- UV germicidal chamber has been installed for UV and Ozone equipment disinfection.
- Attendance is tightly controlled to prevent overcrowding and operate with lower than usual traffic.
Yes! We offer weekday Happy Hour specials at our bar from 5-7pm.
Get ready for a life-changing adventure! VR is an immersive experience which teleports users into a 3D world. Activating your senses of sight, touch and hearing to engage in a completely interactive journey. The user’s actions guide every single movement within the experience, which is tracked through the latest cutting edge sensor technology. Whether you’re playing a game, solving a puzzle, competing in a race, or interacting with a piece of art, you’ll feel completely immersed. Our customers love to share their amazement, surprise and fun with us.
VR World is North America’s largest immersive entertainment destination, featuring over 50 Virtuality Reality experiences, ranging from gaming to 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 your friends and family. VR World is all about Fun Like Never Before. But don’t take our word for it, come experience the adventure for yourself.
Each experience is different, but they generally last between 5-10 minutes.
Yes. Any child 9-14 years old must be accompanied by a chaperone who is 18+ years of age.
Most experiences are included in our General Admission Pass. From time to time, we offer special features that are unique experiences that are available at additional cost. Currently, we are showcasing three special experiences that can be added to your general ticket: “The Flying Jet”, a robotic VR simulator, “Escape the Lost Pyramid” an hour long VR escape room experience, and “Arizona Sunshine”, a free-roaming zombie apocalypse multiplayer.
Like other entertainment attractions and museums, every individual must purchase an admission pass to enter the space, even if they decide not to participate in the VR experiences. More often than not, guest who enter just as chaperones, undertake at least 1 or 2 experiences and are very happy they did!
Not at all! We have highly trained VR Instructors who are truly passionate about what they do, and able to help guests with each experience. They will explain the content, set you up with the equipment, and cheer you on while you in play. Just let go and have a blast!
Unfortunately, we do not. Entry into VR World is on a first-come, first serve basis. Weekends are usually busier, but everyone who wants to get in usually can with minimal wait times. If the wait for a particular experience allows, guests often take advantage of our fantastic cocktail menu and the mezzanine that does not require queuing.
Hours are as listed on the main page, but the club level opens 1 hour after opening and closes 1 hour before closing.
Ever wanted to experience bullet-time (SUPERHOT), narrowly escape death by using your wits (I EXPECT YOU TO DIE), paint a canvas in 3D (TILT BRUSH), survive the zombie apocalypse (ARIZONA SUNSHINE), walk on a plank dangling 500 feet off the ground (RICHIE’S PLANK) or fly over the streets of Paris (EAGLE FLIGHT)? All of this and a lot more awaits you at VR World! And, if action is not your thing, you will find some amazing film and art titles on the mezzanine. Feeling creative? Get into Tilt Brush to create a masterpiece or experience the fluid poetry of dance (MOVE). There’s something for anyone to discover at VR World!
All guests must be at least 9 years old to enter.
Cutoff for tickets with children in the group is 5:00 pm. At 7:00 pm all guests must be 21+ years of age. Unfortunately, anyone under 21 after 7:00 pm will not be permitted to stay. Sorry kiddos!
Certain experiences (Flying Jet, Project Cars, a few others) are restricted to a maximum weight 220 lbs. and a minimum height of 5’2″
