Customer Reviews

My Son was invited to a birthday party at Virtual Reality HQ and had such a great experience he now wants to book it for his birthday party next May. On a personal note he was really happy he was able to leave his glasses on and still play the games. We've done VR before and he's had to play the games without glasses which essentially leaves him playing blind. He had a great time. Thanks.

We had a Great experience today. Did the bday party package, staff was friendly and very patient with the kids, loved that there was a secluded party room area 10/10.

Celebrate our grandson's birthday at Virtual Reality. Kids had fun, staff was great, so mission accomplished. However, not a five star review because the place was in disarray. This place has potential if management cleans it up and makes it more presentable. Especially the space that was set aside for the party. If you are planning to hold a party here, give it a good walk through before committing.

We had my grandson?s birthday party here yesterday & everyone had such a great time!! The owner was so very accommodating!! The employees were all so helpful. I give them an A+++++ rating in all areas! Would go back in a heartbeat. They have so many different gaming systems & can accommodate any age. It was so much FUN! 5 ?? ?????????S to you all!!

If you enjoy video games, this is place is definitely worth a visit. If you have kids that like video games, this place is worth a visit. They have stuff for people of all ages. I took my 8 year old this past Sunday and we had so much fun. After 32 years, I've never experienced anything like it. There's a slight learning curve but the lady and gentleman that were helping us were very kind and patient and did a great job making sure we were comfortable and understood what to do. They stayed with us throughou

Best Birthday Party EVER!!! E is an AMAZING Host!! There was something for ever child AND adult!!! I am so happy we chose to have this experience for our son's Birthday. We absolutely will be back for more fun!!

We celebrated my son's birthday at VR HQ and had exceptional service by the owner! We had 6 boys playing and he was was so patient and sweet with them. They wanted to change games a lot and asked for help constantly and he was great with them! He also gave the parents a demo game to try out. I highly recommend this place! Locally owned...go and support them ??

This place is awesome! I took my 14 year old son and we had a blast. The hour block we booked flew by. Great for anyone curious of VR, or people that are familiar with it. You can play together along side your friends, or solo. They provide an immersive experience that you will surely want to come back for more. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Especially the owner. Very affordable rates, and they also have plenty of games to play while you wait for your station to open up. 10 for 10 would recommend

The owner was so kind and patient teaching my boys how to play. We will definitely be back !

Went with my family yesterday and we had so much fun! The time goes by really fast but its a great time. They have tons of games and the guys working it were so kind and helpful. If you've never done it before, it really is SO emersive! You feel like you're really in the game. I screamed a bunch playing the Dinosaur one ??.

Our son had his birthday party here. The kids had a blast! They even have a few retro games to take the adults back to their childhood

This is the best place for anything really. The owner is the dude. He is one of the most helpful and kind person ever. I've been there with my friends 8 times. It's a blast everytime

Loved it, the owner has great customer service skills, went there with my 2 teenage daughters and their friend, the 4 of us played, I couldn't just sit and let them have all the fun! And got my work out too!

This place is AWESOME. He has you walk a plank ( with the virtual googles on ) then step off the edge of a skyscraper...you literally almost fall down when you hit the floor in the game. First person shooter game Pavlon is incredible. The man is very patient, nice and will teach you how to be a better player. You will not regret going here!

Yi is super friendly and helpful. He is excited to show off the capability of VR and all the cool games you can play. Great deals for groups and a wide selection of games and headsets to use.

Great internet so you will not lag, the man that works their is super friendly, and over all me and my brothers had the best time we had in a while. That's all that really matters...hope this place grows to be the biggest.

If I could rate it more than five stars I would nicest workers ever don't just care abt making money actually want you to have a cool experience 1000% recommend to go

Yi is awesome! He's very helpful and explains everything so well. My son and nephews absolutely love it there!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
