WOW, fun, amazing, breathtaking and more! By far the very best VR entertainment in Australia to date! (coming from a VR owner and been to the few places that have true wire free VR). We did this in 2019 for our company breakup party and the next year everyone voted to do it again in 2020! The entry is clean and futuristic with a good selection at the bar; they have fully floating 5d top notch racing simulators as well to add to the list. I will be taking my children there now they have a new all-ages game to try out!! Virtual Reality? CHECK! 200sqm Wire free roaming? CHECK! Licensed venue? CHECK! Zombies, Aliens and Player vs Player games? - CHECK! FUN? - heck yes!
