My family was talking about bucket lists and my wife mentioned Machu Picchu in Peru. Being the husband I am, I looked on Google for more information and this experience with Fever Hub popped up to my surprise. It's something unique to do so I reserved tickets for this virtual reality experience. A little pricy in my opinion but once you experience it and see it you can appreciate all the technology and effort that went in to creating it. We were able to find nearby street parking at a cost on Saturday, 2 hrs max, but there are garages available as well. Upon entering, you check-in at the desk, provide your tickets, and complete the waiver forms. You each get assigned a name to be recognized within your party while you're wandering the virtual reality course as a team. There are others on the course that you will see but they're on their own route and all you see is a silhouette in the viewfinder. Following check-in, you walk to the back of the building where they fit you with a headset and give you a brief on how to wear it and what to do. It's really simple. Arrows guide you along your route, along with the narrator robot in the viewfinder, while explaining various things along your journey. It's very interesting and educational, although not the real Peruvian experience. They offer souvenirs and other mementos at the end related to the experience. They vary the courses over the months so that one will play for a period of weeks and then another. Highly recommend for something different and educational for the whole family. There can be a lot of walking and standing over the course of nearly an hour which may not be for everyone unless you bring a chair to sit in. I did see a gentleman in a wheelchair being pushed around which I thought was great to be able to experience. read more

This was a cool date night for us. Something to do other than just dinner out. The experience is pretty realistic (video game quality) and it gives a lot of information about the place. Warm welcome, easy to follow instructions and wheelchair friendly. Worth it. Not 5 stars bc the end becomes more and more like a video game (I won't give away the ending) and I preferred the beginning way the story was being told. More like 4.5 but yelp still doesn't do halfsies. If you're lucky you'd get street parking too and it'd be even better cost wise read more

What an amazing program highlighting Machu Picchu and the Inca people! People should listen to instructions in the beginning, to follow the yellow lines and stand in the blue box. Many ppl wonder around and effect your experience. Keep voices low as the audio systems volume doesn't drown out background noise. It's a must see! read more

I went to this with my family and we all thought it was great. None of us knew what to expect going in, and many of us were skeptical at first but everyone ended up having a great time. The content wasn't particularly educational and a bit hokey, but the technology was much cooler than we anticipated. You really feel like you're in another world. If you're afraid of heights you might need to close your eyes at times even. Staff was courteous and the facility and equipment seemed clean and well maintained. I'd recommend it just to experience the VR piece of it, especially if you've never tried out VR before. read more

Wow - truly amazing experience that even my kids loved. I have only done VR at home and an earlier VR experience with the Van Gough exhibit... the technology gets better and better. I loved the robot showing me around. The staff were all super friendly, which was great because my kids are under the recommended age of 8. It was more of a history lesson than I anticipated. So much more to explore than the Van Gough experience. Thoroughly recommend! read more

After going to the Titanic VR show in Tampa, I was SO looking forward to this... unfortunately, because I wear glasses, it didn't work - at all. In fact, it was SO frustrating that after about 15 minutes, I just took off the headset and gave up. I wear progressive lenses and with my glasses and I couldn't see anything in focus, additionally, my lenses and the lenses in the headset were fogging up, which made everything worse. I asked for help and the attendant recommended that I try without my glasses. Once again, unfortunately that didn't work either and nearly everything was out of focus. Also, the lens fogging problem continued. Worst of all, the VR program is supposed to steer you away from walls and support stanchions. Mine didn't and at one point, I walked dead into a stanchion... head first. The attendant rebooted the headset, and the warning images returned, nonetheless, I still couldn't see clearly. That's when I gave up. I don't know why the Titanic show worked so well and this was such a failure, but if you wear glasses, particularly progressives - be warned. read more

Extremely disappointing! The AI experience was cool but the robot tour guide was horrible and distracting. The AI views were a little blurry but it was hard to focus on them because the idiotic robot was the show. I do not know who the intended audience is but it was so very disappointing. read more

Venue for VR Journey to the Lost City was great. Staff was accommodating and attentive - great job. Our impression was that this visit to Machu Picchu would be an amazing educational and historical experience. The scenery and landscape were beautiful. Unfortunately, the content of the VR tour was super "game-a-fied" with our avatar guide "Teri". (We do love Terry Crews). There were too many dad jokes and poor puns then actual historical content. The target audience seems to be very young, although most people at the venue were 30+. I wonder if they were also disappointed in the content? Headgear was challenging - we had to lift our chins in order for the headgear to be in complete focus. I was also a little disoriented and dizzy at the end of the tour. These points are all worth mentioning prior to buying tickets for the VR Tour of Machu Picchu read more

I will rate this experience in 2 categories - History and visual. We were a group of four with two teachers who actually travelled to Machu Picchu. First and foremost, this VR experience was for young children solely. The flying robot was highly annoying and difficult to tune out - never shut up for a second so you could actually experience a quiet and visual moment. Its attempt at humor was tiresome and non-ending. The history presented was minimal at best, nobody really learned anything significant. This attempt at history was actually geared for a VR experience which we rate a 2.5 out of five at best. A time waster to be generous. The employees were very nice to add a positive note. read more

We visited after seeing the real site in Peru, to compare virtual reality with real reality. I was surprised how much of the feeling of being on the mountain, they captured. They also did a great job of hitting the highlights of Inca life. Overall, a very fun experience and friendly staff. I definitely recommend. read more

This was really interesting. I've never experienced a virtual reality tour and this was very cool. I've been to Machu Picchu so I was excited to see it again through this medium. I loved the history explanations and the family life, building aspects, and the spiritual insights. Loved the llama! If you have kids they might enjoy the last segment of the virtual tour. I did not! I wanted more views of the city life and mountains and less of the fake apocalyptic experience. read more
