It was our first time, and we played Deadwood Phobia, a zombie shooting game. It was a great game for beginners. Some of us got scared and screamed, which made it even more fun. Check in and getting fitted with the VR gear took about 10 to 15 minutes, and the game lasted around 30 to 35 minutes. The staff was friendly, efficient, and did a great job explaining everything. They even gave us a safe word if anyone needed to pause the game. The VR equipment was clean and well maintained, and the rooms had a cool futuristic feel. The mystery box prize for the winner was a nice touch. Overall, it was an awesome team building experience and a fun way to let loose. We'll definitely be back to play the other Deadwood episodes.

I prefer the shoot-em-up games like "Deadwood" because it is you (and your team) vs the zombies. The graphics are incredible and each year the virtual reality gets even more incredible. A new twist they now offer is a video that you receive that superimposes your immersive action. This really brings to life what you experienced and is a great memento.

Their website is straight forward - you pay per person and some rooms range up to 20 players!! The room we did was Glitch and it was a storyline based on a microchip company haha.

Highly recommend coming here to do more room.

We got to choose a game and my son and I decided to play against each other. We got excellent instructions and customer service. They disinfect the equipment before and after use so we felt safe.

Memories are always priceless and can never be bought! Bought my tickets ahead of time. There is parking right out front and gated so your car is safe, they have security guards as well. You can stay a long as you like when walking through no time limit! Which is cool because I know a lot of places are in a time limit. We had a ball! Saw so many cool things and had such a fun time. Definitely come by with your little family and have a family day!

Her favorite part was right at the beginning, where the sea animals were swimming on the floor and she could step on them to make them go faster. She also loved the bubble pit, the bubbles everywhere, and the VR experiences. Everything felt fun and gentle, not overwhelming. It also wasn't super crowded, which made the whole experience even better. The environment was calm enough for her to enjoy herself without getting overstimulated, and I truly appreciated that. If you have a child with sensory sensitivities or just want something fun and different to do, I definitely recommend Bubble Planet. We had a great time and would absolutely go again.

I only found out about this event on the local news when they did a feature on it and made it look like the coolest thing since sliced bread. You probably didn't know sliced bread was cool, did you? Anyway I was sold, so I got tickets for Jamie W. and me. At first I thought $55 was rather steep, but what do I know about virtual reality? Except that Zuck plowed billions into it with Meta and just laid off 11,000 employees because the public wasn't ready for it. I sure wasn't ready, but this experience made me think I could be ready for an hour's worth of it before I go into sensory overload. As newly designated space explorers, Jamie and I were handed our bulky VR headsets. I have to admit I was amused at the sight of headset-wearing people in a huge warehouse space doing all sorts of random movements. Once our headsets got turned out, however, we were completely immersed into a walkable 3-D model of the International Space Station. It didn't matter if we were walking inside or outside of the station, we were defying gravity, baby. There were lots of floating blue orbs which you bat away in order to see videos of the actual station with astronauts talking to us face-to-face. We also experienced a spacewalk and could see Earth below our feet. I felt like Sandra Bullock in "Gravity" before the debris hit... ...and before George Clooney unplugged himself out of fear of spending eternity with a woman his own age. After allowing us to sit down to absorb the universe around us (and to let the next group come in), we took off our headsets and headed into a Star Trek-like room where Ryoji Ikeda's "The Universe Within the Universe" was displayed in all its kinetic glory. Ikeda's artistic vision was mesmerizing as it spanned from the microscopic to the macroscopic aspects of the cosmos (video: https://bit.ly/3ts6qMq). As we exited, I have to admit I felt a bit of motion sickness, and it wasn't virtual. Regardless, I was so awestruck that I bypassed the gift shop where I noticed they were selling actual View-Masters. This was a pretty awesome experience.

Its an hour long experience where you get to tour the International Space station (real video footages). Its immersive so you get to walk around a large area. Everyone turns into star beings so you don't run into each other. There's also some really cool digital art installations at the end too (warning: might trigger seizures). My only feedback is that I wished it was longer! So many parts to explore that I didn't get the chance to. If thats not possible, then having a more curated video selection where we get the greatest hits and learn more about the ISS (how they eat, clean, sleep etc). Afterwards, you can explore the waterfront! Have some bbq with a view and take in the history of this area.
