Cool place! We don't have VR at my house. So when I suggested going here to try it out, my kids were super excited. They have a huge library of games. We tried out job simulator, boxing, beat saber, star wars and a crazy zombie game that was pretty intense. Sebastian got us set up and made the whole thing an enjoyable experience. My kids are already asking when we can go back.
My nephew came to visit from Miami. I was looking for fun things to do as he is 14 and nothing really amuses him...found VR arcade and made reservation for him to play. He absolutely loved it. My nephew is big on video games so this was perfect, different and he said this is awesome (his words).
This place was really an adventure! I definitely recommend it for anyone gamer or not! I came with a party of 7 and they let us all play together on various games of different genres!! 5 stars for sure, great customer service as well!
Excellent time! Had 9 people go as part of a bachelor party and Sebastian (owner) was super accommodating and had the entire space reserved for us! Great time!
We had a great time really cool to do!! Great date night!
Pricing: -Booked a game of laser tag for 3 people, priced at $5 a person for a round. Very little information on the website as to what options are available from laser tag i.e maps or setup for teams, no information on how long each round actually is. Round times are 3 minutes each Cleanliness/staff: -Work staff was polite and asked if we had experience with VR and walked us through the controls. However they had put on the headsets to set up the game before directly handing them to us without being clean
Absolutely wonderful experience, I took my partner on a date. A spontaneous decision that was able to be accommodated by the fact that walk-ins are accepted with open arms. As a first time VR user, the tutorial they offer really helped me get my bearings. The selection of games is expansive and wonderful. Me and my partner had a wonderful time, would recommend!
We went late afternoon on Sunday for a team building activity. Calling in to book was very easy and owner was super informative about what games and activities were available. We also received a nice group discount! Once we arrived, Ulrich helped us get set up and familiarized very quickly. We booked for two hours and there were more than enough games to keep us entertained. Good variety of team and solo games. Since we had some technical difficulties with getting set up, they hooked us up with 30 addition
We had some time before we could check in to our hotel, so we stopped by VR Arcade. My husband and I were both first-timers, and Ulrich was an AMAZING guide! We loved our 30 min session and Ulrich taught us so much. Highly recommend if you're looking for something to do around town! Elvin Assassin was fun :)
I took my son and nephew here last Sunday and had a great experience due to the girl who helped us out the whole time. My nephew was younger and not sure what he was doing she was so patient and helpful. She mentioned she had just started working there and was still learning but she handled Our party very well. Great place and will be taking my kids back again due to the excellent customer service.
I took my husband and best friend here for a birthday celebration. We had a blast! It made me want to buy a VR system. They had tons of games to choose from including multi-player. We went for an hour and want to go back since there's so much to play. We got the 1 hour free play and it was worth every penny. We will be back!
Oliver was great! I'm really glad we chose to do this for my younger brothers birthday. We had lots of fun, he was interactive with the boys and patient with me (I don't play video games at ALL). Definitely recommend this spot. Ask for oliver.
The owner made my girlfriend and I feel very comfortable going in there the for the first time! He was super nice, and accommodating to show us how it all works. It would be a great time with more people, but if you just go in with 2, it's also very fun. Everyone should try this out!
Rolled in for the Alice in Wonderland VR escape room with two friends. We were a little surprised to find it's just a bunch of VR headsets set up with steam accounts, but to be fair, that's a pricy setup to have at home. Got set up quickly and were off to the races. The escape room itself was fine, but nothing special. There's limited interactivity and the puzzles were ho hum. It didn't really take advantage of the VR aspect of things, and we were left wishing we'd just gone to a normal escape room given
Aside from the faint smell of weed, this is a fun stop for anyone! The lady there was fast about getting us hooked up, recommending games to play and assisting us through the experience. They have tons of games to play and the experience is surreal! Will be back for another visit!
We come to CO every year so my kids get lots of outdoor time in the mountains but my son loves his video games so I wanted to make sure we did one activity tailored to him. My kids absolutely LOVED this place and never wanted to leave. Plus they were so active they were sweating afterwards. The service was incredible, making sure the kids were set up with games specific to their tastes. We were able to drop them off and come back later when they were done giving me a nice break. I also think it'd be a grea
VR arcade USA was hands down the best VR arcade I have played in Colorado with so many options and the nicest staff who focused very much on cleanliness and ensuring that me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time! Definitely allowed us to get a full experience. Definitely worth every penny, will come back.
If you've ever been to any other VR place you'll know right when you walk in that this production is low quality. The people don't even explain to you how it works. Just toss the joysticks and your hands and basically say ?have at it? lol. The VR headsets are old, broken, and the volume didn't even work on mine. My headset stopped working 4-5 times during our session which was really disruptive to the experience that I paid for. 10/10 would NOT recommend this place to anyone. If you're going to be spendi
WOW!!! I have worked in VR for over 10 years and owned my own for the past 3 or 4 and just WOW, I am so thrilled to have this place here in Denver. Such a fun environment, fantastic staff and overall just a delightful experience for family and friends. 5 Stars! Can't wait to go back!
We went as a group of 8 to the VR experience and had a blast. Ulrich was amazing to us! Super patience and friendly! Ulrich gave us awesome game recommendations and was there to help troubleshoot any technical issue. Highly recommend!
Super nice and very accommodating. Gave full explanation and training off the clock and helped make e process for everyone enjoyable. I'll be back for sure. Thanks Shelby and didn't catch her name, but both of you were awesome!
Wonderful first experience!!!!!! I have never experienced VR before so I searched and area here and this place popped up. Looking through the web site I thought at first they just designed VR games, the website also said walk-ins welcome. I figured I would call and get a little more info. I spoke with john he was very helpful with answering all my questions and I had a lot. I booked a reservation arrived and was greeted by Brandon and Juan, they explained who it worked and then got us started. Us being my 1
What a fun and enjoyable time! Perfect for first timers or experienced gamers, they have a game for everyone. And the guy who runs it is super friendly and ready whenever you need help. It was just me and my spouse and we had a time of our lives experiencing the vr. Highly recommend this place if you have an hour or more. We started with the 30min ended up having so much fun we stayed for an hour! Also very reasonable prices.
I went with a group of 6 people, all 25+ years old. Some of us had experience in VR, and some didn't, and we all had so much fun. The setup is great and accommodated everyone, and he had a huge variety of games to play. Some we could interact with each other, and the others we played alone. During our play time he stayed with us to help with any questions we had. 100% will go again
Took my son and his friends there for my son's birthday. The kids had so much fun and the staff was wonderful--helpful, kind, and generous. Would definitely return and recommend!!!
While on vacation in Denver, my 13 year old grandson asked if we could go play. We own the Oculus Quest 2, so we had a little experience experience. Well this Grandmother had as much fun as my Grandson! Jacob was INCREDIBLE! My Grandson is very shy and he helped him out with a game and he LOVED it! Talked to me about it all the way home! As for me, he showed me so much on Beat Saber and helped me amp up the intensity for me! We had a great customer experience! The connection with Jacob was simpl
Tried calling ahead, but got a recording saying they were open until 10pm for walk ins or reservations. Showed up at 5pm on a Friday night. Neon "Open" on, door locked, and a sign saying they had stepped out but would return. Waited about 30 minutes, long enough for what must've been motion activated lights inside to all shut off. No sign of an employee at all and no one around to answer the number on the door. Absolute waste a trip into Denver.
First of all- WOW! Incredible experience. John was super helpful on the phone to make sure I got the 2 for 1 special I found via ?Visit Denver? website. Very friendly and clean. His setup is ideal with private rooms for different games/parties. We went with just 2 people and had a private area. Afterward, we were so mind blown from our first VR experience! We are gamers bit this was still incredibly unique. Give this place your business and you will not regret it! John.. open a shop in Fort Collins!
We had the best time today at the VR Arcade. It was our first time and we will go back next week for sure. Our sons (12 and 14) loved it. Great selection of games, top of the line equipment. Super clean, equipment cleaned up after each use (I saw them do it). Cool location as well. Give it a try!!!!!
Hello! I was super surprised by our experience given all the awesome reviews. That said, we called and made a reservation for 4 for an hour starting at 5pm. When we arrived we were told that our session wouldn't begin till 5:30pm as thats when the group before us would finish. We are happy to be flexible and patient we just had a dinner reservation for my birthday at 6:30 right around the corner so decided we'd just cut our hour a little short to make our reservation. We started our session at 5:30 and from
What a great spot. Talk about an experience. Visiting from Albuquerque, NM this was such a great addition to anyone wanting to really step out of the realm of reality. There was so much space to utilize and John was so thorough with instructions and walking us through each game. This was such a great experience we bought one when we returned home. Thank you again John; you and your son definitely helped to make this a highlight of our trip. Expect us every time we return to Denver.
Hubby and I went to this place as we were visiting friends in Denver a couple weeks ago. It was so cool. We found it online and just showed up thinking that it was a big gaming place. It looks like an office building and there's a sign on the door that says call this number so we did and he asked if we had an appointment and we said "oh we were just walking by and wanted to see if we could come up". He said "absolutely" and he came down to get us. It is just an office building. His cute son was there helpin
AWESOME experience! My husband and I came to the VR Arcade for date night and it was SO MUCH FUN! I was surprised by the fact that I didn't have to be a ?gamer? to enjoy this, the games are easy to catch on to and fun to play. It was my favorite date night! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, we will be back to enjoy this unique and exciting arcade!
We Planned a date night here and drove all the way here paid 15$ to park and then no one is here. We had a reservation at 6:45. doors locked. They did offer a refund. But so disappointing.
The VR Arcade was my first experience with virtual reality games and I absolutely loved it. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My wife went with me and she also really enjoyed her time there. I recommend the Virtual Arcade for the beginner player and for the advanced gamer.
Absolutely incredible! There are so many options and the employees are wonderful! I had an amazing time, even got a free FNAF poster! Thanks again for that, you guys rock!
We had the best time! So worth it. The staff was friendly and helpful. The tutorial for a first timer was easy and helpful. The games were varied and so much fun. We will definitely return.
Sebastian is the man. He heard my concerns and went above and beyond to provide me with some of the coolest gaming experiences I've ever had. This place is super fun and they have a ton of options. I will definitely be coming back
I'm an avid gamer and was in town with family for my birthday - wanted to do an experience of some sort. Booked this and it was a GREAT experience!! SEBASTIAN was an amazing owner/host. Will be looking at both a VR set of my own, and to go back in sometime when I'm in town ??
Super impressed with the owners way of running this place. I brought my son and a friend tonight for a 30 minute time slot. This was my first time going to a VR type place. I figured 30 mins may be too small of a window to truly enjoy it but the owner was very patient and considerate with the teens small amount of time. Made my 15 year olds birthday a complete win. I will be back!!
We stopped by for our last day in town and it was definitely worth it ! I've done VR before but this experience was ten times better. The equipment is super light weight easy to use and the staff is very helpful and attentive. Great prices and great games I would definitely go back !
Fantastic experience!! John helped walk us through the virtual world! If you are new definitely follow his recommendations and ease your way in. If you have experience then dive Right in!!! Loved the zombie mode as well as the RV scientist demo! Definitely coming back!
Loved this experience. We did 45 mins of play and had a blast. I'm pretty sure I spent most of it on the ground. Super intense and life like. So much so I tried leaning on a virtual crate ??????? We did buried alive and got to have a shootout with each other. This is a must try!
Great first time VR experience for my 5 year old son! He was a bit young for it, but the staff were very helpful and patient. He had a great time. We will definitely return when we visit Denver again.
Went there for a bachelor party, and it was a great time! The guy (I believe the owner) and his super cool kid Sammy went above and beyond to make sure we got the best experience. The tech is a lot farther along than I was expecting, especially in the skydiving game. One bit of advice: don't take on Sammy in any game, you'll get owned.
Absolute waste of money. Two of the headsets didn't work and took up over 10 minutes of the 15 minutes slot we purchased to start (had hoped to upgrade) between one headset freezing and the other crashing several times, yet Caylen still informed us we had five minutes left. No acknowledgement that our play time was taken up by their broken machines and offer to extend our time. He didn't seem to know what many of the games were either so wasn't extremely helpful in helping us choose. But on top of that I co
This place was incredible!!! I have been gaming for well over 20 years and have checked out a couple arcades and internet cafes the past decade which were good but this one had space to play vr and the owner was awesome to chat with. 10/10 recommend for a quick event, pre dinner date, or fun weekend excursion.
Very cool experience and the employee was very patient with our 5 yo son who wanted to try VR with us. Would have been 5 stars but we went on Sunday when they opened only to find out they don't open unless you book ahead despite walk-ins being mentioned as welcomed? Ended up walking around the area for an hour and a half until EE arrived.
The VR Arcade was really fun! I went with three friends and the guy working there set everything up for us. We all played a zombie game together that was so much fun! The gear they have is really high end and we'll maintained. I highly recommend this place!
YES!!! Definitely go here and leave your worries behind. The VR Arcade has friendly knowledge staff that will set you up for an unforgettable, fun virtual reality experience. I'm not much of a gamer but this was on a whole other level. My fiance and I loved it and can't wait to go back for more fun!
My girlfriend surprised me with an hour long VR experience for our anniversary and it was awesome!! John was very nice and helpful the whole way through! From reccomendations about games to hospitality, he was great! The games were fun, tutorials were quick, and they offered co-op which we enjoyed! Highly recommended!! Hope they open one in fort collins!
Never thought of a VR arcade being a thing. Messed around the Playstation VR and me and the girlfriend decided to try out an actual arcade ! (She's never done VR). What a blast!!! She's never done it and absolutely loved it. I was having a blast. Super easy to pick up. I chose VR arcade because everyone mentioned how great John was, and he was phenomenal! Will definitely come back , hopefully with a larger group!
Had a blast! Definitely worth checking out. The games range from intro to VR to an immersive game using both hands that you can play co-op with a friend. John was super helpful and friendly. Can't wait to do it again with some more friends!
The VR Arcade was great for me and my 2 teens. We've been to other spots in the city, but we're blown away, not by the awesome tech, but at John?s steadfast help to really get the hang of games and ?I love watching people walk out of here with smiles.? We spent an hour there in 2 rooms. 30 min is what most people get to try it out, but to really try different things, it's worth the full hour.
Took my son and had an incredible time. He's obsessed. Sebastian was knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be back.
Person who helped us was very helpful and patient with my son, who is 8 years old. He also allowed us to participate prior to our scheduled time, which was very nice. Offered us some other city sights to see. Thanks!
Great experience and great customer service. We had a 1-2 hours to burn before a soccer game so stopped in. My 10 year old daughter and I had so much fun that we stopped back in a week later. Highly recommend!!
What an amazing experience! First time doing VR, what a blast! S?bastien Sebastian was awesome and showed us the ropes. Great birthday party place!
An incredible, unique and fun experience. I never tried VR before, but they made it easy to catch on. Great games for both the beginner and advanced user. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.
Very cool place! In all honesty this was such a great environment to be in. There were tons of options for games and the owners was a really great person and open to talk with you and answer any question. I would highly recommend this place. You need to experience this!!!
Brought the whole family here! What a cool experience! Sebastian the owner was very friendly and accommodating to us newbies! Will come visit again!
Highly recommend! Such a great experience for the whole family. John was so helpful and friendly which made the experience so much more enjoyable. They have lots of options and even multiplayer games! Check this place out and you won't be disappointed! Thanks again
Super friendly and accommodating staff. Massive selection of games. If you have not tried VR, this is the spot!! It is a super fun time, and you can play alone or with friends. 11/10 would play again.
First time ever using a V.R headset and it was GREAT. The employee really helped us out and made our experience that much better. Thank you so much for the experience Shelby :)
EDIT: changing my review to 1 star. the owner replies to my review trying to come up with excuses when they weren't even there. I will not be pressured to change my review. It was fun but our attendant, Casey (sp?), upset me. There were 3 of us, no one else was there when we walked in, and he made me stand apart from my party when there was plenty of room for us to stand together. We asked to turn the speakers on and he said ?i don't know how to do that?. to make matters worse, I was playing a game that
Not my first VR experience, but it was the most fun. The office space didn't seem like the best VR gaming atmosphere at first, but once you put the goggles on and you are using a robot as a body shield...does it really matter??? Friendly and helpful staff for experienced or noob players.
We had a lot of technical difficulties that caused us to lose time... and I paid for that down time. :( For example, our headsets weren't charged and shut off mid game. My virtual hand didn't match my real hand position, so that needed to be recalibrated. My son couldn't play Beat Saber because of some account login problem. My turn thumbstick sensitivity was way too high and made me kinda sick playing Arizona Sunshine, which has never happened to me before. In total, I paid for an hour for 5 people a
My son and I had an absolute blast on his birthday here. Friendly service, fair pricing and a really fun experience. Good for experienced VR folks and newbies!
LOVED IT!! First time trying vr games and it did not disappoint! Would absolutely go again :) staff was very friendly and helpful in teaching me and my friend the controls. I would recommend playing the Echo Arena game even though i wasn't completely sure what I was doing ??
I own a PSVR and am tired of the heavy Move Controllers, so I booked 30 min to try out a different system with a lighter controller. The Arcade is owned by an amazing person that will geek out with you on anything VR and is so warm and friendly. He even joined me for a few rounds of Beat Saber! The Arcade is SO CLEAN and the equipment is in top condition. There's enough space to get your arms swinging and not worry about smacking anyone. I'm going back, for sure. There's a lot more games I want to try befor
We took my son for his birthday to Colorado this weekend and this place is the only thing he can talk about. He had such a great experience with tge new owner and his family (: Wishing all the best guys!!
This was a completely awesome experience! Easily the best VR I've done. The staff was incredibly nice, and all the games were extremely fun! Looking forward to going again!
Really nice guys who run the place. Got us set up and going pretty fast. It was fun to try out the oculus quest and the rift after only having tried the vive in the past. Echo was really amazing, but tough in terms of getting used to it. It's probably the most impressive use of vr I've seen so far.
Such a great experience! Recommend to everyone in denver!! John is a great host. If you have never experienced VR before it's a thrill! Great for groups and couples
Took my mother here to show her the VR experience. Place was great, they have a big space setup and John got us going on a bunch of fun stuff. Hope to come back soon!
I took 10 year old nephew here a few weeks ago and had a great time. The employee was super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely go back.
Super fun. Wish I could stay longer, and play more with Jeff. He's super nice, polite and helps you figure out what to do, even if you've played before. Recommend coming here. I will come again 4 Shure.??????????
Was fun but the VR glasses they gave me were dripping in sweat and clearly not cleaned. Seems obvious to clean the glasses after COVID but they apparently didn't get the message.
Does not answer phones. Poor signage and hard to find.
Went with my entire family for my little brothers birthday party today and we all had a blast. The man who was running the arcade was super helpful and knowledgeable and patient. Would definitely recommend this activity to any family
First time doing VR. It was a little slow to start for our group. The employee wasn't completely sure how everything operated, but we later found out it was his 2nd day on the job. Overall it was an ok experience. Not sure if I would go back.
VR Arcade creates a unique and wonderful experience! The VR experience was incredibly realistic. Their headsets were comfortable and they had a wide range of games to choose from for either single player or as a team.
If you have not yet experienced Virtual Reality, you're missing out. Go check out this place. Very helpful staff. John was awesome. The best part is this can be a mobile operation and anyone can join in. Private parties, corporate events, the possibilities are endless. Lots of fun! Definitely will go again!
We had a team reservation and it took 15 to set everyone up then after we were set up two of the headsets stopped working for 15 mins so we didn't get the full experience we were expecting. I would not recommend this place.
This place is awesome! The staff is very kind and quickly helps out. The VR experience is amazing, great sound and great quality. Overall an amazing place! ??
Oliver and Kim were amazing!!! I was new to VR, but had a blast here!!! 10/10 definitely recommend!!!
I went with my wife and two friends and had a blast. Varying degrees of experience with video games among the group but we all had tons of fun. John was super helpful!
I was so thankful how they guided me and my three young girls on how to use the equipment and enjoy VR for the first time. I would recommend this company, and they also mentioned a possible mobile service in the future. How fun!
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.
