I've done a VR experience once before and that does not compare to Sandbox VR. The facility is clean and spacious. There are fans everywhere but I think maybe they should pump the air conditioning more as you will sweat! There also is validated parking in the Cumulus lot, which is super helpful in LA. The staff is super friendly and helpful - Emma and Maxx helped me on my second visit and they were great! I forget who helped me on my first visit, but they were great also. As soon as you enter (assuming you pre-purchased your tickets) go to the right and complete your waiver. After that, a staff member will come and escort you to your room. They'll explain how to put your gear on and run you through the safety procedures. Each room holds about 6 people max. My first experience with Sandbox was the Squid Games. I went with 2 young kids. The gear was not super heavy but took a bit to get used to. 5 year old wore it fine. The visuals were really cool and the game itself was super fun. As a player, you can be eliminated (I came in thinking you couldn't). The first time the 5 yr old and I saw someone get eliminated, he quickly turned to me and said "I'm scared!". I did scream as I did not expect it to be so graphic and the vest you're wearing goes off. Once you're eliminated, you're character is see-through for about 20 seconds and then you come back. It was fun for the grown ups and the 9 year old, but it may have been too much for the 5 year old. There is an option where they can prevent a player from feeling/seeing the eliminations. This helped a bit. It's based on a point system so someone wins at the very end. Sandbox provides you with 3 trailer videos which is a fun recap. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Which prompted me to return with a friend of mine to try the shooting ones. We did the Deadwood Valley. Yea, after the first 5 minutes, I knew that game was not for me as I do not like zombies running towards me. My heart rate was about 103 by the time I left and I felt exhausted. My friend thought it was super fun as he likes shooting games. We were both covered in sweat after we left this game. The visuals for both were really great and they were both fun. I think I would definitely come back for the other ones and if new themes come out. Tip: If you park in Cumulus, there is a gate that leads to La Cienega Blvd right by the Whole Foods entrance. You can exit there and access Sandbox from the entrance on La Cienega. If you go to Sandbox through the VOX gate, you may not come back that way as that gate is locked. read more

See all

This was such a cool experience. Went with a group of 4 and we had a really good time. They offer food and currently pending liquor license. We didn't squid games which was super fun consisting of challenges very similar to the show. Will definitely come back read more

My first VR experience and trying it at Sandbox. Located at La Cienega, the spacious venue featured multiple options of VR games from zombie-themed to the infamous Squid Game! Yeah, HOW FUN finally able to enjoy the experience being the player of the games. The total time you might take for overall experience was one-ish hour with preparation wearing the vest, helmet, and other gears, as well as listening to all the brief. Each game could accommodate up to 6 people in a group, but great news they could do multiple games simultaneously in different rooms. It felt so real that you could choose your avatar, looking at your friends in their avatars, and competed to win. It's basically individual score-based game and you needn't worry if you're eliminated in the game because you would just freeze for few seconds before being brought back alive. You could even experience virtual free-fall with 'Cross the Bridge' game. They did ask in the beginning if you're afraid of heights so they could prevent you from seeing that part. Some of the games were bit twisted from the original ones, but I would say all of them were amusing. Although I would say it's quite pricey to go regularly, being at $54, it's certainly worth trying and would be great option for team building activity. I would have rated it 5 if only my device didn't have glitch in the beginning and took almost 15-20 minutes to get it fixed. Would surely come back some day for their other games. read more

Very first time going. Definitely need to play with a gun any time and always We definitely need more fans for personally heat Keep the fans onnn But great experience read more

Sandbox VR - First try imma come back from this *at least I'm not last - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Thank you Anthony for making sure me and the homie had a great time. Highly recommend and will be returning

The program was super glitchy, which severely affected the experience. They were understaffed so we did not get attention, which was very frustrating. The staff was kind and apologetic but I feel like I wasted $171 for 3 people. read more

Knocked off a star because we were left waiting for about a half hour even though I had made a reservation. The staff were amazing though, really kind and helpful overall. My husband chose the Star Trek game and I had a lot of fun (even though I'm not particularly a Star Trek fan like he is). We can't wait to come back and try some of the other games! read more

We had such a great experience. This was actually my first VR experience. It was 4 of us and We all loved it. We played deadwood Phobia which was great choice it was fun and scary at the same time and also thank you Jordan for making it smooth experience for us. Appreciate you all! read more

I would not recommend this location. Our attendant was unfriendly the entire time. When one players system completely crashed, we called for our attendant for over five minutes as instructed, but he never showed up. Another attendant eventually came to help us. Our game also kept glitching and resetting throughout the duration. For the price, we expected some basic customer service and a more seamless experience. There was another team where all members were shrieking so loudly the entire game. It was so loud that we could not hear our game through our headphones. The parking was easy and the game itself was pretty cool. I would try again at a different location. read more

We walked in on a quiet Monday and it pretty empty and got help straight away. Staff was helpful all around and we had a great time as it was our 1st ever VR experience. We both wished the headset didn't get blurry periodically throughout the session, but well worth the money. The actual experience is about 30 minutes but there's like 15 mins of suiting up and practice plus 10 minutes to recap the fun at the end along with highlight clips sent to your email. I would revisit read more

We went for Father's Day yesterday. 6 of us. Tried the zombie game. First the pros: Looks like a brand new place. Guy that checked us in was friendly and helpful. Guy that managed our game also very nice. We were all very excited before all the problems. Now the cons: super glitchy. 2 of the 6 of us needed replacement guns. I chose the shot gun, it shot inconsistently which was incredibly annoying. The game had to be restarted multiple times and 4/6 of us got motion sick because of it. The guy helping us felt bad and said he'd take one charge off, which i thought was a nice gesture. When we left, the manager was super awkward. She kinda popped out of the back and said "can i answer questions?" I was like "yes, please confirm you'll credit $50 back to my card for all the issues " she said "sorry i can't do that, but i can give you 20% off your next visit" Bad customer service. Will need to fix glitches or they will be out of business soon. I won't go back even with 20% off which btw was never sent to me. read more

Definitely fun! This was a great way to have some family bonding time. Only reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars is because the venue was too hot! Avery and Dez are great venue attendants. They both walked you through the process and made great recommendations for beginners. We will be returning. read more

We had a mini birthday celebration at Sandbox VR today, and the experience was amazing! The entire staff was incredibly friendly - special shoutout to Brian, who did an awesome job explaining everything and keeping the energy high! The experience was so much fun that we ended playing two different games back-to-back! For feedback, we'd love to see the gaming catalog expanded with more fantasy or medieval-themed adventures. Also adding haptic feedback (like sensors or even slight resistance/weight) to melee weapons would make combat feel even more immersive. Right now, hitting enemies doesn't have that satisfying impact or bounce-back you'd expect from a real weapon. Still, 10/10 experience - we'll definitely be back! read more

had an excellent experience!! staff was great!! first time and i had a blast. i will definitely come back again!! wow that was sooo fun!!!

This was my first time doing VR. I wasn't sure what to expect and I didn't expect to feel like I got a full workout or to sweat as much as we did but it was worth it and so much fun and we will definitely be back. Ricky was great, his energy and passion were incredible. He was fully committed to his role, super animated (in a good way), and you could just tell that he genuinely loved what he was doing. The enthusiasm made it fun for us all. Titi was also great, really helpful and made sure everything was comfortable. The only improvement I would suggest is adding an option to have more than six players in at least one game. For those in leadership, this could be a fantastic team building experience, and having a game that accommodates larger groups would make it even better. read more

Parking is horrible!! The place itself is small and super pricey for the amount of time they allow gaming, customer service is ok depending on who's helping you but overall they're mostly nice. read more

Amazing experience, took my seven-year-old and we had a blast. Highly recommend. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. There were so many activities tailored for kids, and my child couldn't stop smiling. We ended the day with a delicious meal at the on-site café, which was the perfect way to wrap up our adventure. read more

Avery was amazing! From the moment we walked in, he was super friendly, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable. The customer service was top-tier ! he explained everything clearly and made sure we were having fun the entire time. He truly made our VR experience one to remember! I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to others. read more

Let me start off and say going into the game we had technical difficulties, my players arms were glitched out I had told them about the issue and ignored my request and said if there's any other issues please let us know. So I was like okay fine maybe it's just a small issue no bigger we continue to play but the game kept lagging so bad, I was over it. Most of the time I was just standing around. My friend kept loosing tracking on her guns. The birthday celebration at the end was better than the game. I've been to the one in Burlingame CA and it was nothing like this experience. Never lagged never had no issues. If you want my opinion don't go to this one. Apparently there building doesn't get good connection. read more

It was my first time here and At first there was glitches also one of the guns wasn't working but then they restarted the game and everything went smooth , overall it was very exciting and fun we are going again tomorrow. read more

Sandbox VR - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Visited for my birthday, this was my first immersive VR experience and i have to say it was amazing! Our host Vi was extremely helpful and we had an excellent time with the squid game experience. Also the slushies are delicious!! read more

Such an amazing experience!! Best VR experience I've ever done! The graphics were so amazing and the game was so interactive and fun. Actually broke a sweat from running around! So much fun! We'll definitely be back soon! And the guy who helped us out was extremely helpful. Thank you! read more

Absolutely great experience. The entire staff is so helpful and friendly including the event booking team. We booked a 3 game package for my husband's birthday and had a great time. Thanks so much read more

Amazing experience! Madison was of great help and made the whole experience very friendly! We were 4 in our group, we did "Squid Game" and "Seekers of the Shard: Dragonfire", both were incredible experiences however both had major glitched, especially "Seekers...". I will come back at a later date to experience more things and maybe try Seekers again with a different character once the glitches are fixed :) read more

This place is really dope. The only negative is it's too expensive for a 30 minute experience. I don't believe the experience is worth $60 for 30 minutes. I understand why it's pricy.. equipment, overhead, lease for the building... but it's not worth going back often. It would be great if Sandbox had a game pass where you can play more than one game for $60. read more

Always a blast here, have been back twice to this location and two times to other locations. Always enjoy the experience - for your first time I recommend Deadwood Valley if you're into zombies. If you're going to do Seekers of the Shard, I recommend wearing something you can sweat in. Lastly Squid games is fun but less exciting than Deadwood or Seekers read more

Will definitely be coming back. The staff were very friendly and very helpful the whole time were there. Vi helped setup our gaming session and showed us our videos of us playing after. The gaming experience itself is exactly what I imagined vr gaming to be while we only played the squid games I would like to come back to try the other games. read more

Came for my birthday today and it was the best VR experience ever. Bryan and Khaleea were absolutely amazing at proving me and my party the best experience. I even tried something form their bar and thought it tasted funny and Bryan had no issue swapping it out to make it right. I absolutely will be coming back for to do this again. Thanks Sandbox VR Team y'all the best. read more

Amazing staff and vr was great:) def coming back and recommend it to anyone looking for fun

I liked the games. Deadwood phobia is really good. You always have to look around. And it's really nice how you can run around. I went to this place with my cousin last week and it was super cool! read more

Highly recommend!!! Well worth the money for the extras they provide like the video of you playing. Staff was super helpful and Rickey's fun energy added to the experience. I did a zombie one but they also have family friendly games. read more

good experience:) Ricky was very nice and had a good sense of humor despite us staying late. Very appreciate and yall sound raise his pay

The staff was completely unprofessional and lacked customer service. The game quality was super low because the weapons and other functions weren't even working. The game itself was also super cheesy end unrealistic read more

All around fun time! Staff was great as well, Ricky and Avery, helped us make sure we made our dinner reservations when things ran later than expected! They were very kind and knowledgeable! read more

Ricky was amazing! So fun and helpful. I really liked how thorough and creative he was. 10/10

1st time around it was a bit janky and room 2 specifically but when we came back again it was great and everything went well especially since we did seekers of the shard to dead wood valley great story and mini guns were a bit extra but so worth it read more
