My family and I had a blast! Not only were we impressed with the Arena itself, the employees were awesome??. Super patient, very helpful, attentive, and friendly. This place is phenomenal! We shall return soon! Btw... the pretzels w/cheese are my new guilty pleasure??.
Very cool experience. Dylan explained everything and really put us at ease (it was out first time doing VR). Equipment was comfortable and they sanitize between each guest use!! 10 out of 10 for the 7 of us! We will definitely be back!
For the virtual room make sure you use a stopwatch to measure how long the game is ran. You pay for 30 minutes but I ?believe the workers cut it shorter so they can go home quicker. Felt like I only had 20 minutes than 30. Other than the time theft, it is fun
Awesome experience we had a group of 6 and even though my score was the lowest it was a great time. The VR experience felt so real. We all laughed about it and enjoyed ourselves. Would highly recommend as a group activity.
We did the VR game Singularity. Super cool how the robots attack you from every angle. My only complaint is the price- $50 per person is really expensive! I would go back and try another VR game, but I'll wait for a sale.
Took my 15 year old son over holiday break. It was a fun experience, would be more fun with a larger group- but worth the money for some mom/son time!
Such a fun experience! Huge thank you to the manager-Kenny for being so accommodating and generous. Highly recommend this place for a fun night out.
What a Blast! 4 of us stopped over to play Singularity in the Zero Latency VR arena located here & we had loads of fun. While we were there we went ahead & jumped into their super quick electric pro karts... wow, they are also crazy fun. Yes, it isn't cheap, but if you were to consider how much they have invested in them, I think it's fair. I can't imagine the cost of insurance. The staff was super friendly as well. They also have drinks. Anyway, I think we'll go back sometime... maybe try the Axe Throwin
The coolest place and activity! I went here with my coworkers and it was a blast! A one of a kind experience that I have never experienced before. I have never done normal VR before, but all my friends were saying how different and better this was compared to that. Everyone was dying of laughter the whole time, and we all had such a great time. Thank you BOSS VR Arena! We will be back soon.
Excellent experience. The VR rooms they have are huge so you can actually move around and aren't stuck in a single room. It's not the "it's an elevator so you can't move" thing that cheapens the experience.
My employer took our seven-person team to BOSS as a thank you and team building activity. We had an absolute blast. Service was great. BOSS did a great job setting aside space for us and providing the pre-game snacks and post-game food that we ordered. The Zero Latency gaming exceeded expectations. It is amazing how the game transports you and your team to another world to have fun and play the game. Lots of smiling, laughing and camaraderie during the entire afternoon we were there. Highly recommend for
The VR experience was amazing! The staff was friendly and curtious.. Sadly was only there for the VR but will go back and do the go karts and ax throwing in the future!
Our group of 5 booked the VR and ended up go karting since we got there early. Both were really fun, however VR was great!! We chose to do Farcry since everyone else did the Outbreak and we were really happy with our choice and felt our money was well spent on VR!
VR was better than I expected. Everyone was kind and friendly. It is a great teen and adult experience. The go carts steering was tougher than other carts I've ridden and takes a little bit of muscle, so much that a didnt want to go another round. Otherwise we will be back! We had a great time!
Definitely and awesome time I had with my boys there. Is definitely a little bit more on the expensive side. And for the VR you pay $45 for 45 minutes but 15 of those minutes are spent learning about the game. So at that price you should get 45 minutes of actual gaming and not paying for 15 minutes to learn the game. I myself find that kind of crazy.
The Boss VR Arena is an adrenaline filled experience you will not get anywhere else. The gameplay and graphics are amazing. Everyone needs to try it at least once. The whole Boss complex is a phenomenal atmosphere with indoor adult go-karts, axe throwing, free roam VR, drinks, and snacks.
Had a good time on the VR system. Would recommend for a group of 8. 30 minutes is fun, a full hour could be the perfect amount of time
Booked a VR for 6 people. Arrived for our scheduled time to find out that the we were never booked even though I received confirmation for booking and a receipt. $270 taking out of our account and told we have to wait for a manager to get a refund. They are not again open for 2 more days.
This place is amazing. Highly recommend. The VR games were fully immersive and a ton of fun for whole family. Staff was super nice and walked us through everyone.
Great place for the family. The cars are clean, well maintained, & fast, but not too fast. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful.
Such an amazing place! Went there on a whim and it ended up being so much fun! Perfect for friend outings and even a date. Thanks for the help Dillon!
Lots of fun the staff is nice. The sole raiders pvp was really cool highly recommend!
Closed and apparently not everyone got to check this game out therefore I cannot give it a 5 star
WOW!! Just did it Today it's very fun. Very cool and the staff are very helpful and nice
Had a blast. Everyone was super friendly. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic time. Amazing staff. Will be back again and again!
This place is insanely fun it feels so real and the staff is friendly and cool
Amazing experience, totally worth the 45 dollars. Emersive!!
Very cool and entertaining experience!
Had a great time with the family
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
