1. Virtual Room: Virtual Reality Sydney
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 445 reviews
Virtual Room is an award-winning team VR experience (with no motion sickness!). Blending the escape room concept with a full 3D cinematic experience to deliver a unique, immersive & mind-blowing adventure lasting ~40-50 mins. Played in groups of 2, 3 or 4 players where each player has their own dedicated room - you will join each other in the virtual world where you can talk to each other, walk around, bend, throw objects and collaborate to solve the mission. With 3 missions to choose from, you and your team of 2-4 players will travel back to historical periods of time such as ancient Egypt and the moon landing to solve the challenges and save the world! In our latest mission, you even get to BE the zombies and fight for your survival! Guaranteed no motion sickness unlike inferior VR experiences (e.g. ones where you are sitting down or using poor quality VR headsets). Fun for all ages (no gore or horror) - friends, families (ages 10+), birthday parties, kids’ parties, hens/bucks night

We took our team of nine along to the virtual room. It was so much fun and mind blowingly cool. Once you've been set up, and the first virtual room appears, I can tell you that I felt as though I was actually in a futuristic spaceship with views out to all the out lying futuristic cities. The challenges are incredibly fun and great for team morale, as you need to help each other to achieve the goals and move to the next level. I can't wait to go back and do the next challenge! Even the gloves are rigged to give you sensory pressure and vibrations. Highly recommended.

The Australian Sugar Cane Railway is a must for any history or train buff visiting Bundaberg, in fact it's a great experience for young and old alike. This beautifully looked after steam train journeys right around the beautiful Bundaberg Botanical Gardens and through the train workshop. Hats off to the amazing crew as well. Fantastic experience. $5.00 for adults (cash only!).

Learn about camels and how farm is putting them to productive use rather than culling them in the wild and left to rot in the open. Educational, fun for the whole family, unique food and great skin care range to shop too. A great way to support this local buisness and its future economic potential to QLD.

We had a group of 20 and booked out Sidetrax on New Years Eve in the afternoon. Nearly 2 weeks later and we are still talking about how much fun we had that afternoon. The staff, track and go karts were excellent, and the ages in our group ranged from 12 to 55 and we all had a ball. Thanks to the staff for looking after our group, we’ll be back for sure.

I went with a group of 5 adults and 6 kids. The website says 8 years and older is the recommended age and we agree as even our 10yo got a bit scared at one point. Lots of flashing lights which can make some people dizzy and there's moving/wobbly floor as well. Overall it's a fun experience.
