    I've done VR quite a few times at different places with different types of experiences, and Sandbox VR was definitely the best so far. I was skeptical that commercial VR could get any better, but as soon as I saw the technology and felt how it worked, my mind was changed. My friends and I did the Squid Games experience, which was more mental than physical but still fun. I'd definitely try a more adventurous experience next.

    Always a great time here! Everyone is super friendly and the place is clean. Wes helped us the first time and Ripley helped us the second time. Highly recommend coming here!

    I first played a VR experience like this back in Tokyo in 2016 and it absolutely blew my mind. I've been chasing that same level of tech ever since, and most VR spots here in the U.S. have been...prettttty lame. Then I found Sandbox VR and WOW. The tech, immersion, and gameplay are next level. Easily the best VR experience I've had outside Japan. My friends and I loved it so much we've already been back 3 times. Every visit has been just as fun as the last, and it's become one of my go to spots for bringing friends and out of town guests. The cherry on top? They send you a free video of your group afterward, which is hilarious and such a cool touch. My only complaint is the price!!!! It's fine if you come to play just one game ($50-60/pp) but it adds up fast if you want to play several games or come regularly. I really wish they'd: 1) Introduce a rewards or loyalty program for repeat guests, and 2) Offer discounted package deals for people who want to play multiple games in one visit If they could tweak the pricing a bit, I'd basically live here. Still, hands down one of the most fun, high quality group experiences around. This isn't just for kids, adults will have an equally good time. On one visit there was a birthday party and it looked like so much fun with a table full of cake and food for the kids to eat in between games. I bet it's a great spot for adult birthday party too, they have a bar!!!! Tip: - You can ask the staff to "turn down the intensity" level for some of the games if that is a concern - budget ~1 hour per game (this includes putting on gear + instruction time) - of the Deadwood games, Phobia was our fave

    This place was amazing and such a fun experience. We booked online, made a reservation and arrived 15 mins early to fill out waivers and get instructions. The staff were welcoming and fun and very helpful with explaining rules and procedures with the technology. We selected the zombie experience and boy was it so fun and realistic. I screamed the whole time, it was scary and downright fun. Because we went for my sisters birthday, they had a screen and a snippet of a birthday party, it was such a nice cute touch to the experience. You are able to sit, lounge, eat and order drinks as they have a bar. I definitely plan on retuning. Parking was a bit confusing but other than that, this place was really fun and enjoyable.

    My first experience. I planned a birthday party for my 9 year old niece. It was a great decision because everything was amazing. From the easy planning and reservation process to the actual event. We chose a package with two games. 6 kids to a room (we had 12) The staff were ALL terrific. Helpful and efficient. They're especially patient when dealing with the kids, getting them fitted with jackets, goggles and headphones then explaining everything. It was fun to watch the kids enjoy this. We had a designated area and brought in pizza, cake, drinks and gift bags. A fun time was had by all. Our little birthday girl, Kaya said it was her best birthday yet.

    My son had a blast at this place, the only down fall was that you pay $57 an hour but 30 mins goes into getting you and your team suited up... so you only have 30 mins to play your VR experience. I feel that you getting suited up should not include your 1 hour play time.

    Vests, headsets -- feels super realistic

    PSA: if you've tried other VR places, forget them all -- Sandbox VR is so much better! Unlike other places where they may give you a vest and a weapon that allows for tracking in the VR world, Sandoval ALSO gives you individual hand and feet trackers so you feel truly immersed in the VR world. First time I tried one of the Zombie games, and it was amazing! Our whole team of 6 strangers were running around shooting up zombies, ducking, helping tag each other back in -- we were all covered in sweat at the end but we made it! Second time i tried the Squid Game, less running around but I was still covered in sweat at the end, and still extremely fun! All the workers there are very friendly and clearly passionate about VR. The space feels very new and modern, clean bathrooms, and the clean water fountains were well appreciated. You can also buy drinks and snacks. Free 2 hour validated parking. It is a little pricier ($60 per game), but worth it! Can't wait to come back and try other games!

    Great experience and activity if you've never done VR. We booked ahead for 2 people for my friends birthday for Amber Sky and they were accommodating because we were running late. They validate parking at the parking lot and when we arrived you can hear everyone screaming playing the zombie game. It's like a theme park virtual experience and super cool. I had some issues focusing but I was able to adjust it. They also serve food at this location! We got some chicken wings and some slushee samples. Jordan was our host and super helpful! Would recommend this activity for the whole family!

    Brooke M.

    Get ready for a real trip and a great 30 minute workout. Better than therapy you take out all of your stress out on protecting the world as a robot protecting it from aliens. I screamed out all that was within me and will sleep well tonight. We went to Amber Sky 2088. Don't forget they do validate parking . Worn out from playing so going to bed lol! If you haven't tried it please check it out. It's unbelievable.

I give it 3 stars for a few reasons without giving anything away: 1. Rooms are too linear. Puzzles were done one at a time. Thats really fun for a smaller group, not a larger group. 2. Puzzles. Have you ever played an escape game on your phone and when you ask for a hint or clue, a circle highlights an item for you to help out with the next step? It felt the same way in one of the rooms where the next item was lit up. Made it too easy. 3. Jamar also helped us too often. He was very eager to help. Happened on 5-6 occasions where he spoke to us via the radio without us asking. He didn't even give us 5 min to ponder and think. We beat the rooms with so much time to spare too. Please give us some time to suffer bc thats part of the fun. I think there should be a policy that the moderator only helps if all participants agree and raise their hand... or they can warn the group that they are severely behind and ask if they want a hint. Other than that, just let it be. Another minor complaint we all had was in the Avalanche Room, the second room seemed to belong to Area 51. The theme shifted drastically so it felt very odd. However, it was impressive. Despite all that, we had a LOT of fun and would go again. Was worth the money and Jamar was still an awesome moderator that made us feel comfortable right when we entered.

I had reached out via email to inquire about their late policy due to our work schedules (I wanted to try to schedule the Valentine's Day booking but felt like it would be too late). Magdalena, one of the owners, had got back to me and responded that they were flexible and recommended the booking for the day after if it would better accommodate our schedules and that the Valentine's Day snack would be available to purchase, which was very reassuring for me. Upon our arrival, not only did they remember me from our one email communication, they had already set aside the Valentine's Day snacks for us. Very thoughtful! The wine selections were either for red or white for blending and cause my fiancée and I wanted to try the best of both worlds (we both had selected white initially), they were able to accommodate the change with no hesitation. Our instructor, Dave, was amazing and the guided class was full of fun information and neat anecdotes. The guided class was very helpful in identifying things to look for in wine which can contribute to certain attributes, like taste, sweetness and such. Very light-hearted and, again, an amazing experience. Highly recommend for a date night or those who just want to learn more about wine. Oh and they also let you cork your own bottle!

Teaching: classes are structured and run on time. Teachers are fantastic and patient, especially with new students. Most of the classes are paired off in groups which means individual instruction and supervision is minimal so unless you're looking for something more formal with extremely tailored feedback, a private session is likely better versus a group setting. Other Comments: this was likely a one-off incident, but at a class I attended. I was disappointed with the assistant (Stephanie). As the class was winding down and desserts were being handed, for some reason, she served herself and ate before completing distribution so there were several attendees who didn't receive their desserts (which they paid for!). It was bizarre and unprofessional, which was weird given that she had been helpful and attentive throughout the class so I don't know what happened. She also seemed not to have budgeted well and hadn't purchased enough ingredients, especially for the dessert, which may be another reason for why we ran out so fast at this particular class.

I used to love playing the old Tron arcade game with the glowing blue joystick handle at the local arcades that I would frequent. The lightcycle game was so much fun to play. This building in Culver City was used for exterior shots in the original 1982 Tron movie. The building was home to an arcade called "Flynn's Arcade". The character of Kevin Flynn (portrayed by Jeff Bridges) was the owner of the arcade in the movie. The arcade was on the lower level and his office space was on the second floor. In the real world, this building is called the Hull Building as was built in 1925. It was once Culver City's first hospital and is now a historic landmark. It has been home to many businesses over the years. Akasha restaurant is the current tenant and they are on the bottom level. There is a Flynn's Arcade logo on the door canopy on the side of the building. The original Flynn's Arcade neon sign that was used in the movie is stored over at Disney Studios. I was passing through Culver City and made a quick stop at the Hull Building to check out this historic place in person. I am not sure why I have always been fascinated with this building. I was a huge arcade junkie during my teenage years and always enjoyed the arcade scenes from the movie. I even own a Flynn's Arcade T-shirt. I am loving that arcades have made a comeback and are popular again. The fanboy part of me was having a lot of fun when I stopped by here. It still looks just like it did in the Tron movie. But overall, there really isn't much to see other than its facade. The current restaurant looks like a nice place to eat at. The upper floor is empty and is available for lease if anyone ever wants to recreate Flynn's office space.
