Customer Reviews

Had our son Elliot?s birthday and this was an Excellent experience, having the place to ourselves. Even the older ones played! Place is immaculate and staff was great! Scott and Alex were amazing; excellent customer service and personable. It was our first time but it won't be our last! Thank you!

The experience was unique and very easy to learn, the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful setting us up. I wish they had more games and for the free roam arena to be a bit bigger, we were a group of 4 and were constantly bumping into each other.

I took my son here for his birthday, and when I tell you that you couldn't ask for a better place, the manager there was amazing. He helped with everything to make sure the day went smoothly for my family, and honestly, I would recommend this place a million times over.

Great service, reasonable prices, many options to choose from including sitdown racers and flyers to stand up adventures. Lotta fun

We just went as a family of 5 for the first time and it was so much fun! Booking ahead online was easy. Igor checked us in and helped us out along the way and was very accommodating. Our youngest was a bit too young for the zombie game so he set her up to ride a rollercoaster and then played virtual fruit ninja. We did 30 minutes and fighting zombies and that was the perfect amount of time. The kids wanted to go longer and we will definitely be going back.

It was awesome and super fun I would definitely come back

Igor was wonderful my son had a great experience very helpful staff I recommend this place to all children so special needs also MY son's experience was great ???? ??.

Great experience. Staff was extremely helpful. Kids loved it !

My kiddos had a wonderful Xperience! Thanks again to the entire team with making the impossible, possible in a pinch. I felt like a kid again. 10/10?

Igor and his staff did a great job keeping my large party connected to the many games everyone wanted to play. My team is composed of a wide variety of nationalities and ages but there was something for everyone. Highly recommended for team building. Big fun!

My kids loved there very experience the best by far our representative Devon helped out tremendously showed my kids how to do it help them with the games they were shy but after dean came over helped them along they loved it said can we come again I said of xpurse hope Deven is here when we return

This place is superb! I recommend visiting this place even if you own a commercial VR set like Quest/Quest2 or such. That's because they have a wide variety of exclusive VR games. I played Zombies, Car Race simulator, and a few other simple VR experiences. After this, I have played laser tag. laser tag is the go to game, it was excellent with newer high res VR headsets and life like graphics in the game. I highly recommend trying the laser tag if you go along with someone else. All in all, it was a really g

Had my son's 7th birthday here. While some of the kids were young and inexperienced with VR, the staff were patient and everything went smoothly. The kids had a great time. Easiest birthday party ever where parents only need to bring the cake. Thanks guys!

This place is EXCELLENT! I took my son for the first time last night and the service was impeccable! My son was so excited and asked a million questions and the guys never got impatient with him. The were extremely clean & sanitized. They even called my son by his name by the time the evening was over. Even though there were others there, we still felt prioritized and very catered to! I can't even explain how EXEMPLARY our time was! On top of off all that, the games were REALLY FUN!! I will definitely be re

My children and I come here quite often and love the place. The place is always clean and even with covid restrictions lifted they never once take short cuts on their cleaning procedures. Plus Scott, who is usually when we go, is extremely helpful with my 8yr. The kids always love coming back!

My son loves this place and begged us to let him have his birthday party here. Despite having almost 20 kids, the team did an amazing job of keeping everyone involved and helping a bunch of 9 and 10 year olds as they figured out what they were doing. Everything was so easy for me as the parent and we'll definitely be back soon!

We booked 2 birthday parties (teenager) to date and never disappoint! The easiest and no-fuss party. The staff is always helpful and accommodating. The place is clean and I've seen the staff clean the equipment after our slot. Highly recommend!

Xperiment Virtual Reality is very great place to bring your kids the staff are helpful and hands on We really enjoyed ourselves I def recommend it

Had an amazing time! The staff was super knowledgeable and accommodating about the different games and easily pointed out some ones for our first time. It was an awesome time! The whole area was clean and organized. I highly recommend for anyone to try it.

We were first timers and the staff did an amazing job giving us an awesome experience! Even with the high volume of other guests we had our own area and once submerged in the game felt like we were in our own world. As for the experience itself, zombies and orcs - enough said. It was epic and I highly recommend as a must try, even for those non gamers like myself! My other half who is a gamer also really enjoyed himself and is planning his next trip back. An overall great experience!

Went with a group of six for the first time, did the zombie game and laser tag. Both were excellent and a lot of fun. We showed up about 10 minutes late and they let us stay an extra 10 minutes which was very considerate of them, though I suggest everyone to be on time!

I had an amazing experience. They have so many games to choose from it was unbelievable. I also greatly appreciate the customer service and their extreme ability to figure out what games you may or may not like. They know their games extremely well and gave great suggestions. It was a pleasure playing games and learning the controls. You won't regret coming here time well spent.

This place i very neat and clean. All the equipment and interior is well maintained. The first time we went there to try with our son, we got the membership and that was a great decision. They have different games for every age. It is a great experience for family, friends or even coworkers. We highly recommend.

My niece, nephew, and I had an awesome time. Fun games for all ages. Awesome service from the friendly staffs. They were great with us and very helpful . Especially Scott. I will definitely come here again in the future!!!

This was an amazing experience for our family! If you've never tried VR, now is the time to try it! The facility was great. The owner was very patient and helped us figure out the controls in the different games we tried. I really appreciated the excellent cleaning before and after our visit. Everyone was wearing a mask and I felt safe despite pandemic. I will be back for sure! This was seriously the most fun I've had since the pandemic started!

Took my two girls here twice and we had such a good time!! I played as well. There was a large variety of games to choose from: Single and multiplayer. Also, owner is very nice and was very helpful when we needed him. The only downside is time goes by too fast when you're having fun lol. I'm definitely taking my girls back!

Amazing experience! The setup is great, the games are amazing and they have a huge catalog to pick from. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the facilities are nice and clean. They disinfect and clean all the devices after each usage.

Definitely recommend!! My family & I were in town looking for something to do and stumbled upon this place on Groupon. Scott greeted us as soon as we entered & was very accommodating the entire time! 10/10 for sure!!!

Very cool experience, will for sure be. Back! Great for families

Went with a group of 7 people. Enjoyed the variety of multiplayer games available. First time VR for many of the players and we all enjoyed. The staff was knowledgeable and extremely helpful and polite. They have some seating for guests and place was very clean. Will definitely re-visit.

Never knew this place was here but I'm glad I found it! My son loves this place and we've been here a number of different times. Recently brought my nieces and they loved it. Devon was excellent and helped out my niece who was fairly new to VR, great customer service and a clean and friendly environment!

When I tried booking an hour session for my boyfriend's birthday a couple months ago they weren't open on Wednesdays (which of course is the day his birthday was on) but the owner personally emailed me and made it happen for us. We live more than a couple hours away but will return to support a business willing to go above and beyond. Nowadays treatment like that is scarce. Staff working there that night were great, very helpful to me who is far from the gamer type, which helped me get the most I could from

This place is absolutely AMAZING! I have had multiple birthday parties here and everyone including the owner was super helpful! Lots had a blast!!! ?? They have games for adults too! It's a birthday party for the kids, but really adults had just as much fun!!! 5 STARS!!!

We had my son?s birthday party and it was a huge hit! The place is very clean and the staff was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

My son had a great experience at Xperiment Virtual Reality in North Haven CT. A very clean facility with polite and professional staff. They took their time to explain the process and go through the equipment setup in great detail. Highly recommended and will go back again!

This place is amazing! We had a blast here playing all the games! They even have racing with stearing wheels and all. Great prices. Awesome party room. We will definitely schedule a birthday party soon. Knowledgable staff. I can't wait to come back! Have fun!

Me and two of my daughters came to Xperiment VR to try their free demo and at the end spent there almost 2 hours. It's a great family atmosphere and they had lots of experiences and games to chose from for all ages. We tried 7 or 8 different ones. Since it was our first experience with virtual reality equipment we were in need of attendants to tell us what and how to do. Staff was very helpful, patient and polite, though my kids learn the ropes quickly. They also have a party room, so we will definitely wil

If you want to have some good time with friends and family, this is your place. Play games they also do birthday parties. You will not regret it. I had fun with my close friends, the customer care is the best ever. Just as their cleanness.

We just had a birthday party at XperimentVR and it could not have been better. They took it upon themselves to communicate with us a few times before our event and they were well prepared and organized for our arrival. This was a party for an 8 year old. I can't imagine having to explain how to use VR to a bunch of 5 to 9 year olds, but their staff was patient and kind. They have a room in the back that suited our needs exactly. I don't write many reviews, but I'm happy to recommend this place as highly

Great place, so much fun! The staff was friendly and helpful and the VR WAS AMAZING! My only suggestion would be, if it is your 1st time there ask them to show you how to use the controllers BEFORE they put the headset on you. I will definitely be going back.

Currently here with my clients watching them have a blast. They're making me want to hop out of my chair and join them! The guys running the facility are polite and curteous and everything is clean and well organized. We'll definitely be back!

My wife and I went there and had a great time. The games are great, especially the driving simulator and the zombie game. The owner was there and he was super helpful in explaining how the games worked. We cannot wait to go again.

Great place!! Clean and a fun time!!

Brought my niece, nephew, and myself here for 2 hours and we all had a blast. They have so much to choose from for the virtual reality. Did a virtual reality escape room that took us a little under 50 minutes to complete. After that, we were just all kind of playing our own games in the virtual reality. I will say we were tired of playing the virtual reality after like an 1.5 hours and kind of just left. My niece is nine and my nephew is 12 so I don't recommend the full 2 hours. Even myself I took off my h

My son had a blast. All the staffs were very knowledgeable and helpful. He would definitely come back for another fun.

My boyfriend and I had the best time here. I'm not a video game person, so i'm surprised I liked it so much! The crew was so helpful and gave great game recommendations.

My wife and I decided to try out a VR experience and thought it was fantastic. Igor was really helpful and the experiences we had were terrific. The undersea experience and google earth were amazing. It was great to "go" to places you had been and fly above them!

The staff is very helpful and nice. Was a great experience. Made a last minute decision to come here and they helped us decide. 10/10 recommend!

Scott was simply amazing. He was patient with our kids and was attentive. They had a great time and we will definitely be back.

My son and I had a blast. A little pricey but overall it was a good time. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great experience and super clean. The staff was so helpful and kind with the kids

My friends and I had a great time, the games were so fun and cool, the place was clean and the staff was great. Will definitely be coming back and can't recommend this place enough for all ages.

Amazing, great for those new to VR and want to try it. Great selection of games thats always growing, very laid back atmosphere. Super friendly staff who you can tell love their job and want to be there, even after scheduled hours! Will be going back soon.

Me & my daughter had a great time here. Played some shooting games, some horror games, musics games, & boxing. Def would do it again. Thank you. (:

Had a great time, I don't know anything about video games never mind VR but the staff was super patient and helpful and set our whole group up with whichever game we requested (after having changed our minds several times) you could tell they enjoy working there as they stayed late to let us finish playing. Even though it's a bit of a drive, I'd definitely go again!

Lovely place. Great selection of games, pistol whip probably the best of the bunch. Definitely recommend coming here if your up for a good time. It's well worth it

I had the fortunate opportunity to get a sneak peek of Xperiment VR's new Virtual Reality Arcade inside of the Hawley Lane Mall in Trumbull today. It was absolutely amazing!! They have so many different games and experiences, there is truly something for everyone. The owner, Igor and his team are super nice and very down to earth. They will walk you through everything from start to finish so whether you have played VR before or have never touched a headset in your life, they will be there every step of the

We love this place! Scott and his team do a great job in answering all of your questions and make sure you have a good time. :^D

A lot of VR places closed their doors during the pandemic. I'm glad this one has managed to stay open. They have good basic HTC equipment, cleaning protocols and multiplayer arenas.

A totally ?must explore? experience for gamers and non-gamers alike. For someone like me who's not into gaming, the VR experience at Xperience Virtual Reality was really cool. The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. ????

Went today and the owner and the staff were both great! The location is very clean and taking tons of Covid precautions. I highly recommend that you check this hidden gem out!

Awesome experience great place to go to bring the kids! everyone was super nice and helpful! CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

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.”

Are virtual reality games in arcades worth playing?

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.
