I came with my wife, sister in law and mother in law - we had a blast! Scott was very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. We did the Archer game and the Zombie game and both were really fun. Highly recommend checking it out!
This place was super fun and clean. Great experience?? Me and my sons really enjoyed ourselves. Get way to start his birthday. Next time we will try the hour package so we could have tried out more games to play.
Went with my brother and boyfriend (we are in our 30?s) and had a great time. We got there a little early and were able to start right away. The staff walked us through how to use everything. All 3 of us got to play the games together. We started off with a bank robbery game which was great because it teaches you how to use the equipment, followed by a bow & arrow game and ended it with saving the city from zombies. The zombie one was actually scary at first! I went to turn around and there was one right i
The games were wmreally fun for my 11 yr old and I. However, there are obvious bugs that still need to be worked out. First game crashed 75% of the way through, second game was iffy. The employee there did grant us an extra 15 mins of time. But that doesn't really help at that point. Anyway, fun thing to do, far too expensive, rates need to drop to be successful in my opinion.
Came for the first time on a Friday night, had an amazing experience tons of fun, super fun and informative staff would recommend friends to check this out!!!
Kids had an amazing time. Scott was fantastic to deal with setting everything up and while there Destiny and Alex did a fantastic job at wrangling the kids, keeping their headsets fitted and answering questions. For what it's worth the kids are physically active the entire time too. Next time I'm going back by myself!!
So much fun! Way more fun than I even thought it was gonna be. Lots of game options for all age ranges. We had an 8 & 16 year old along with three 29 year old adults including myself, and everyone had a blast. Pricey but worth it. Employee was so helpful and attentive. Will definitely be back
Tonight we enjoyed a night out for my son's 13th birthday at xperiment virtual reality and we had the best experience! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and it was so easy to book the party online! The attentiveness to the kids was above and beyond and we had so much fun. Loved that we had the place to ourselves and we will definitely be back very soon! Thank you guys again for everything. Great place ????
We visited the North Haven location for my son's birthday party and had an absolute blast. The staff was amazing with their game suggestions, gameplay explanations, and any needed support (untangling headsets, accidental button hits, etc.). We'll certainly be visiting again.
One of the best places me and my wife visited. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We appreciated the patience they had with us being that it was our first time. Can't wait to go back!!
This was one of the greatest off the cuff things I've ever done with my son. The team building aspect mixed with the pure immersive video game elements makes for a one of a kind experience. I was looking for something last minute to do together and wound up finding an activity we will absolutely be returning to. Shout out to Scott who made our visit even better than it already was ???
I took my son for his 12th Birthday on a school night. He immediately wanted to forgo dinner to have more time on the games, so we did! He had a blast. Our host was super nice and very accommodating! We'll definitely be back.
This was our 1st time coming there (surprise b-day gift for my BF). Scott was very helpful. We had a good time and will definitely be back.
We had a fabulous experience and will definitely be back! Had never done VR before but the training and instruction was very thorough and patient, and we got lots of check-ins and assistance throughout our session. Definitely recommend doing an hour and picking a few games to try out!
We just had our twins? birthday party and all the kids had a blast. They said it was way better than their previous parties! The adults even had fun watching the kids play. Everyone came away wanting to come back!
This was our first time experience. The employees were very helpful and attentive to us. They were very patient and kind. My kids enjoyed the games that they played. The space was spacious and very clean. After we finished, they promptly cleaned them so they could be ready for the next player. We would highly recommend Xperiment VR to family and friends. We will be back!!!!
We had a great time, and the staff was very helpful. This is our second visit; my son and his cousin had an amazing time, and this time I joined in the fun. We will be hosting a party there soon .
My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday afternoon and were quickly greeted by our Host. He was super patient and explained the different setups and the games that they have. We ended up trying a bit of everything; the race track simulation, free roaming, and room scale experiences. We played 5 games in total and loved every single one of them. Our favorite game was the All-in-one Sports (on the room scale) and the Cook'd Up (on the free roaming). Personally, I wear glasses, so I was shocked to find out how c
Scott was SO helpful and knowledgeable about everything. You never felt rushed or that any question was dumb. It was such a fun time! This would be great for parties for kids and adults, even for team building. We will definitely be back.
We had a great time at Xperiment Virtual reality. Awesome lace for grown up and young one. It gets interactive and fun as the time passes. Ideal for birthday parties. Must visit
This was my second time going. I brought my 7yo son who loves video games. He was skeptical at first, but Scott was extremely patient and helpful and gave my son an awesome experience. We both had such a great time. Staff was so friendly, flexible and quick to help us, even as we changed through several games. I highly recommend this place. Finally, something fun and engaging to do in North Haven!
For my partner?s birthday, I rounded up his siblings, brother-in-law, and my elderly father to this amazing virtual reality playground in North Haven. We stayed for about an hour, and enjoyed a bunch of different team-based games that were super fun to play. The gentleman tending the store (I believe his name was Scott) was absolutely wonderful to work with. When my dad mentioned that he was feeling a little sick from the beginner?s game that he and I were playing, Scott recommended and underwater virtual
We did a joint birthday party for our boys and it was great! Scott and his staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. They got everyone set up quickly so they could start playing and were there immediately if any kid was having trouble. I highly recommend this place!
My son and his friends really enjoyed the party. The staff was very attentive to all the kids helping them with their games.
Had my sons birthday party there. The kids had a blast! There were 10 kids playing and a few adults, and the staff was short a member, so there were only two, but they were amazing. They were super attentive to the kids, and us adults. They set up and cleaned the party room. Was a stress free party.
This place was great! My son just had his birthday party here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All the kids enjoyed themselves!! Thank you to the staff for making my son's party so easy and smooth. ??
So much fun! Definitely worth the money. We had a great time as a group of four and are looking forward to doing it again soon. Very nice facility and staff, too.
We loved our whole experience here! It was super clean and the technology is very advanced and impressive ! Scott elucidated the controls and functions very well, super helpful & kind ????Actually headed there for some sunday fun now !! We will be regulars from now on .
We went on a field trip here for the students and had a BLAST! They always do a great job with accomadating the information we would like to cover in the biomedical program. In addition, they are super flexible with the overall experience we want to have for the students. I would recommend them to anyone looking for not only a fun event but also for an incentive field trip for students.
We had our 10yo?s birthday party at Xperiment and it was wonderful. They were so clean and organized, provided everything, assisted the kids really well and were overall a joy to be around. Great staff, great facility, 100% recommend.
My wife, nephew, son and myself went for the scarefest in North Haven and it was absolutely amazing. We had such a good time and sky was amazing with our son, teaching him how to use it and get comfortable with the controls. We can't wait to go back and I'm going to make sure my friends all know about it!
We had an AMAZING time! ?? I took my son and his friends for his birthday and they didn't want to leave. I didn't either. ?? The staff was super friendly courteous and accommodating to all of us. Scott helped me so much, in more than one way I greatly appreciate him. ?? The other young man was cool as well. I hope all goes well with Xperiment!!!
We had a large team-building activity at this facility and it was great fun. The place is clean, the staff are awesome and it's a fun and different corporate group activity. You can play up to 8 players in one game. We would definitely go again. Everyone in the office had a great time.
Super cool experience! Employees were very helpful and informative and showed us everything we needed to know! The place was very spacious and set up nicely with many different areas for all sorts of games.
Went with my 20 yr old son and had a blast. So much so went back 3 weeks later with my son and older nephews and we all had a great time. Great service, attention, instructions and clean safe facility.
I took my son and niece to the Trumbull location, but it was closed for a private party. I was SO excited to find out they had a North Haven location!!! It's bigger and better! Same great service, same cleanliness, but more room for more people! I'm going to have my graduation party here this year! It's just so much fun!!! It's super easy to extend your time (which we always do) and it's great for all ages!
We came here for a field trip with our camp and had an AMAZING time. The staff was super helpful and it made for such an enjoyable experience! Definitely would recommend!
So fun! Loved every minute! A different kind of date night or night out but trust me you won't be disappointed. If you like arcades or gaming or VR this place is a MUST!
Booked this for my son?s birthday. He, my husband and a few friends did a VR escape room and they response was awesome. Everyone including my husband said it was so much fun and very engaging. The Escape rooms are leveled also so we knew prior that it wouldn't be too much for our boys. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the booking process. The setup of the location lends itself to the experience as well- you don't have to worry about knocking into other people! You also have your volume and mic s
First time here and won't be the last! Took my daughter to play an hour on this rainy day and it couldn't have been more fun!! The staff was so friendly and welcoming! If you're looking for something fun and different this is the place to be!
My 9 year old son and I had a blast playing. The person there was so very helpful and knowledgeable about the games that it helped us enjoy our time. ??
The customer service provided was phenomenal! They are very engaged with the overall satisfaction of their customers! The place is very clean and affordable. My children definitely enjoyed themselves! I recommend this place 100%!! Thanks so much Alex and Scott for providing outstanding service!!!
We brought our 7 year old granddaughter here for the first time and she had a blast! She's never done VR before and the staff were great at explaining things to her! At the end my granddaughter wanted to try a different game, but they had reservations plus the other VR?s were in use. It was about 2-3 minutes before the guests would arrive, the staff allowed my granddaughter to try it for a minute or so. Not expected at all, but truly appreciated! Thank you all!
Was an excellent experience. The gentleman who helped us was very knowledgeable and very friendly. My daughter, who's 12 and myself who's 46 had a blast. Very reasonably priced.
Son loved it! Comparable to our usual spot in NYC and saved gas and a few bucks on package. Excellent customer service. Not too crowded so got lots of 1 on 1 time.
My family and I totally enjoyed ourselves. I didn't know what to expect. I'm in early seventies and I had so much fun! Definitely will go again.?????????? Thank you Scott.
This was such a positive experience for everyone in our family with generally limited VR experience. It was my 7 year old daughter's first time and she got scared in the beginning. The staff was so supportive and guided her into something she felt comfortable playing. We had so many different games to choose from and again the staff was so helpful by navigating us through the system menu and set us up to compete against each other in the games. They checked on us from time to time to make sure we knew what
Had a great experience on a rainy Sunday. I brought my two kids ages 6 & 7. The 1 staff member working (I never caught his name) was beyond helpful. He explained how to use the controllers and made sure the kids were conformtable with the head gear on. He navigated us to what would be easier for first time users; The snow ball fight, and we progressed to robots vs aliens western. The kids had a blast, and so did I. I do want to give kudos to the staff member because I was able to tell he was managing thre
My son and I had an absolutely fantastic time! Scott was more than helpful on and helped us to have an educational and enjoyable time. I would highly recommend going to everyone. Great addition to the North Haven/New Haven county area.
Scott was such a great host for our party, called the day before to make sure we were all set with the details, and was really good with the kids. Thanks!
Went to the open to try it put and we had a blast. It is must go to place. So many games and then there escape rooms too. It is on my daughter's list of places to have her 10th birthday party next year.
Booked the 1 hour vr time. Scott helped us get set up and guided us to each game very efficiently. They use the HTC Vive for their games and the game selection is vast. Would go again.
My GF and I had the best time here! This was our first VR experience so we had no idea what to expect but It turned out to be one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Scott and the staff were extremely friendly & they walk you through every detail. The cleanliness was impressive as well. The place is spotless & the second you're done they sanitize the goggles & controls. They're worth every penny!
My daughter and I had a great time at this place. Its clean and spacious. I like the fact that you are able to toggle through the different games as you are playing as you please. Staff was great and helpful as well. I have visited another vr place and they are great as well. These both will be my go 2 places for now on.
I brought two 9 year olds and they had a blast and so did I. It was clean and the guy that was helping us set up each game was friendly and knowledgeable on each of the games and made some great recommendations. I recommend the escape room.
Had a great time with the family. This place was definitely worth the time spent. My kids are still talking about the experience haha!
Held a child's birthday party here. It was excellent. Kids had an amazing time. Staff was wonderful and it was easy!
Took the family here and had so much fun! We will definitely be back! Scott and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. My son is already asking when we can go back!
Awesome place to go for a date night, or even bring your kids. You will have a great work out if you're playing with effort. I can't give it a full 5 stars because I would like to have an event there however it's off to a good start
Our son's birthday party was lots of fun. They have a mix of games, some that everyone can participate in. Clean, new equipment, and the folks running the party were very accommodating to the kids' game requests.
Definitely had a great time! Great date idea for couples. They were very thorough and explained everything we needed to know to have a great time. Great customer service! We will we back for sure.
Had a great time! The employee on duty was very nice and helpful throughout the whole process! Will definitely be coming back.
My 8yr old son had a great experience. He loved the tutorial given by Scott,who was patient,engaging,and kind when helping my son use the VR set for the first time. We'll be back soon!
Friendly, patient, and accommodating staff! My son and I had a great time, and scheduled his 13th birthday party at Xperiment next weekend.
Such a great experience!! Didn't expect to be some much fun. Had so many options of games/virtual experiences to explore. Scott in the North Haven, CT store was awesome and very helpful. A MUST GO!!! And we will be back!!
I just had my sons 13th Birthday at Xperiment VR and it was Amazing! The place was so clean and the VR equipment was top notch. Staff was so pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend!
Nice size place and the games were a lot of fun. Had a lot of technical issues though that I'm sure will be fixed with time. The staff were very accommodating and super friendly too
Great time! Spent 1-hour and got to play a few different games. Was easy to pick it up and the people working there were very helpful and knowledgeable about what games to play. Highly recommend coming here for a fun break in your day.
Overall great experience, staff was super friendly, the facility was clean and well kept... Tons of games to choose from, but my son won't stop talking about how much fun he had on the race cars.. really cool place, will definitely be back!
Love this place! I've gone to both Trumbull and North Haven locations and the staff are always welcoming and they give great instruction. The games are fun and the vibe is nice and spacious on the inside. More than recommend trying it out!
Service was awesome ! Staff really helpful and positive. Awesome group or individual fun . We went with a group of 8 and everyone wished we rented more time . We will definitely be visiting again with more family !
Very fun experience for it to be me and my partners first time. Staff were really friendly and very helpful with explaining things. Would recommend and come back.
Great experience. My kids had a great time. The place is very clean and well maintained.
I am a 68 year old female who came here with my adult son and daughter-in-law for a one hour virtual reality experience. We played about three different games back to back and loved every minute. I never knew I could have so much fun shooting zombies!
10/10 Me and boyfriend did the free roam and we really enjoyed it. We are also two grown adults ?? It would be fun for all.
Been here a few times and enjoyed myself along with the people who did the escape room with me. Our person who helped, Malik, was amazing!! Will be back to do more rooms!
I had such a great time here! I had a birthday party and everyone had such an amazing time. Super clean and the staff was very helpful. Will definitely be coming back
My nephew and I were there for almost two hours and had an absolute blast. Highly recommend the facilities and the amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Such a cool experience!
Very good my kid really liked it
Great experience. Fun time with friends. Staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend North Haven.
Pretty cool..I liked the zombie one for playing with a group..but I would go through the games beforehand so you know what you'd like or be able to do!
Had a great time with the family, it was our first tine going. ?? We will be back.. Scott (staff) guided us into the VR experience perfectly ??
Vr is alot of fun. Took my 15yr old son to the vr in north haven. Had great time. We have the oculous vr that we love. This was better, cause we were able to play in same games together. Made it much more fun. Great place. Large variety of games to play. Staff was great. They are always there to help if your not used to vr. Was great experience. Wood recommend for something new to do. Or if you love vr. They did great job at North haven vr experiment. We will be going back for sure.
We went as a group of seven for my friend Danny?s 28th birthday. We picked the one hour virtual reality experience and that was perfect for our group. Fun experience!
Had a great time here, the staff was very helpful and attentive. Would definitely come back again to play more games.
Kids had a great time and it was even fun watching them. Staff was patient with explaining how to use. A must try!
The attendant is always so helpful and nice to my kid. Love coming here!
Amazing. Staff was awesome and informative and very helpful. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to try VR but never did it before
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.
