MassVR

Immerse yourself in victory. Feel the quake of nearby explosions. Move quickly to evade the enemy and lead your team to glory. MassVR's VR Champions is the experience you have been waiting for. VR Champions lets up to 8 players play at once, engaging in team-versus-team battle. Collaborate - meet up in real life and enter a physical virtual reality experience.

My friends and I have visited MassVR several times. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and was willing to answer all our questions when we were new. The game itself (VR Champions) is an exceptionally developed multiplayer game. With 3 maps currently available (I have heard more things are in the final stages of development), each experience is fresh and exciting. There are walk-in discounts for students, and regularly occurring "Bootcamp" nights on Wednesdays, where you get trained by experienced players at a huge discount (3 for 1 deal). Considering the reasonable price, it's a great way to spend an evening with friends and/or family. P.S. While the game is quite active (be prepared to sweat), the environment is safe and comfortable. It really is fun for any age group.

AMC Showplace Village Crossing 18

Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States

The Village Crossing AMC is our usual theatre, as it is close to home and there are usually a lot of choices in movies of all genres. Though there is food inside from the concession stand, there are also more than a few restaurants in the immediate area if you want to have dinner and a movie. The theatre is well-maintained and clean, including the restrooms, which are well placed. We were in auditorium #6 and though the seats don’t recline, they are comfortable. We came for the movie “Midway” at a matinee performance. The movie, sort of a remake of the 1976 version with Henry Fonda, was very good. Naturally, the special effects have improved and with the new CGI technology so this version does reap the benefits of modern technology. Remember, you may want to plan on coming on Tuesdays, as the admission is a bit more reasonable.
