Having fun at Area 151! - A man is standing in an indoor virtual reality center, wearing a VR headset and holding a VR controller in his right hand. He is dressed casually in a gray T-shirt and jeans, with a black vest and a backpack. The background shows another person also using VR equipment, with a room featuring striped walls, windows, and gaming equipment. The setting is designed for immersive VR experiences.

I was in dire need of something fun to do up here in Redding and this is the place to be! The owner, Adam, is such an amazing guy who is really personable, outgoing, and super easy to talk to. When it was mine and my fiancés first visit, he was really knowledgeable about the games and suggested which ones we would prefer. Every time we have friends from out of town, we always recommend coming here or we go and play a few rounds casually on a Sunday afternoon. The games are super fun, competitive, and immersive. We try and go as much as we can whenever we have a chance. We appreciate everything about this place and the owner!

Main floor - A woman is standing in a virtual reality arcade, wearing a VR headset and holding motion controllers. She is dressed in casual clothing with a vest and black pants, and appears to be engaged in a VR experience. The arcade has a spacious interior with marked floors for VR activities, blue walls with geometric designs, and ceiling lights. The environment is designed for immersive virtual reality gaming and experiences.

Our family of 4 went and we had a blast! We did one of the games that's like laser tag. The vests can accommodate plus sizes easily too.

Gamer's Paradise

Stopped into Gamer's Paradise recently after hearing a few people hype it up as a hidden gem for…read moreretro gaming. Wish I could say the same, but unfortunately, the only thing hidden here is the logic behind the prices. We're talking $60 for a loose copy of Super Mario Bros. 3, cartridges with faded labels going for collector's edition prices, and scratched-up discs marked "as-is" that cost more than they do new online. It's like someone googled eBay listings and pulled the highest number they saw then added tax. The selection looks impressive at first, but dig a little deeper and you'll find it's mostly filler: endless copies of sports titles, bargain-bin shovelware, and broken peripherals sold as "vintage." A few rare finds, sure but at prices that make you question whether you're shopping at a store or a museum gift shop. the woman staffer was not friendly, but there was a weird defensiveness when I asked if they ever negotiate or offer bundle deals. I get that retro gaming is a niche, but this place seems to be banking hard on nostalgia and hoping no one checks eBay or PriceCharting first. If you're a collector with deep pockets or just really into overpaying for mid-condition games, maybe this is your spot. For everyone else, you're better off looking online or hitting up a local swap meet.

Started perusing Gamer's Paradise back in 2021 when they resurfaced my GameCube copy of…read moreThousand-Year Door (worked great after!) Not sure what issue Bryan in the (currently) only other review had as I've never had major issues with Gamer's Paradise. I've bought both a PS2 and an Xbox 360 from them with nearly half of each in store credit and I've never, ever had issues with them honoring a purchase or deal. They've always been courteous and professional, at least to me, and a lot of their prices are sometimes even more fair than other places. My only major complaint is that quality control of stuff they sell is a bit variable. Part of it is just what comes with selling retro games, but a few times I've bought games or hardware that obviously were not cleaned (or in the former case, resurfaced if necessary), but this has never been so severe that it's been a total dealbreaker with them. Overall, would recommend. Update: Janice is fibbing a little; they're selling Super Mario Bros. 3 at $24.99 and have been for a while, which is pretty damn close to going market price.
