Omg this was a dope experience. This is our second time coming and Vi was an amazing host! They were so supportive and attentive. gave off the impression that they enjoy working here. Eric greeted us at the door with such warmth and kindness. Now the room Dead Phobia was awesome! I've never experienced such fun with VR. read more

Sandbox VR - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This Sandbox VR location is equipped with nine different themed games, and I played the Deadwood Phobia here. It was intense and scary, I would suggest you pick a different theme for your first game, unless you're ready to face and fight some iconic zombies. Beyond the VR headset and headphone, you also need to wear vest, and gears on wrists and shins. It costs about $50~$60 per person for each session, a bit pricey, and after playing they usually give you discount for signing up for more games. The game session itself lasts about 30 minutes, plan at least a full hour for everything all together, including signing the wavier, game preparation and instructions, and debriefing after the game. The staff working here are super friendly, and they try to help you as much as they can. Last but not least, they validate parking for two hours. read more

We came with a group of six and had a great time! Everything was well organized, and the games were a lot of fun. The staff was friendly, explained everything, and was always happy to help. Parking was easy, there was cold water available, and having a bar was a nice bonus. We all had a great time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

I've done VR quite a few times at different places with different types of experiences, and Sandbox VR was definitely the best so far. I was skeptical that commercial VR could get any better, but as soon as I saw the technology and felt how it worked, my mind was changed. My friends and I did the Squid Games experience, which was more mental than physical but still fun. I'd definitely try a more adventurous experience next. read more

This experience was awesome and the guy who h lows us made the experience worth the fun was so fun

I first played a VR experience like this back in Tokyo in 2016 and it absolutely blew my mind. I've been chasing that same level of tech ever since, and most VR spots here in the U.S. have been...prettttty lame. Then I found Sandbox VR and WOW. The tech, immersion, and gameplay are next level. Easily the best VR experience I've had outside Japan. My friends and I loved it so much we've already been back 3 times. Every visit has been just as fun as the last, and it's become one of my go to spots for bringing friends and out of town guests. The cherry on top? They send you a free video of your group afterward, which is hilarious and such a cool touch. My only complaint is the price!!!! It's fine if you come to play just one game ($50-60/pp) but it adds up fast if you want to play several games or come regularly. I really wish they'd: 1) Introduce a rewards or loyalty program for repeat guests, and 2) Offer discounted package deals for people who want to play multiple games in one visit If they could tweak the pricing a bit, I'd basically live here. Still, hands down one of the most fun, high quality group experiences around. This isn't just for kids, adults will have an equally good time. On one visit there was a birthday party and it looked like so much fun with a table full of cake and food for the kids to eat in between games. I bet it's a great spot for adult birthday party too, they have a bar!!!! Tip: - You can ask the staff to "turn down the intensity" level for some of the games if that is a concern - budget ~1 hour per game (this includes putting on gear + instruction time) - of the Deadwood games, Phobia was our fave read more

This review has long past due as I did my daughter's 11th yr old birthday party first at this Sandbox Culver City location last yr, I toured the place and I really like the bar and seating area which is best for parties where some other locations do not have. Besides the nice location, another reason I picked this location is that I get to talk to someone, I called some other locations is always voicemail or email so I couldn't ask any questions! Wes was the one that helped me from booking to the end of the party, he was very helpful and super awesome!!! Everyone had such a great time at the party and all wanted to go back and play some more. So fast forward, my kiddos wanted to bring her friends who came from Taiwan to Sandbox, I was calling other location again as LA traffic is not always the best so I was thinking to avoid drive to LA but again I couldn't talk to anyone at other locations so I tried the Culver City location again and guess what, Wes hooked us up and helped us out again!!! So we are stuck with this location from now on by choice! The girls enjoyed it so much, we got the summer passes and plan to go back again to experience all the games before the pass expires! If anyone thinking of giving your child a fun, unforgettable and whole different level of experience for their birthday party, you will not go wrong with the Culver City location! Wes and other staffs are all so nice and helpful, you won't regret booking here! read more

Ricky and destiny were very kind and made our experience so special thank you guys! They were accommodating and kind and genuine I loved it here read more

This place was amazing and such a fun experience. We booked online, made a reservation and arrived 15 mins early to fill out waivers and get instructions. The staff were welcoming and fun and very helpful with explaining rules and procedures with the technology. We selected the zombie experience and boy was it so fun and realistic. I screamed the whole time, it was scary and downright fun. Because we went for my sisters birthday, they had a screen and a snippet of a birthday party, it was such a nice cute touch to the experience. You are able to sit, lounge, eat and order drinks as they have a bar. I definitely plan on retuning. Parking was a bit confusing but other than that, this place was really fun and enjoyable. read more

My first experience. I planned a birthday party for my 9 year old niece. It was a great decision because everything was amazing. From the easy planning and reservation process to the actual event. We chose a package with two games. 6 kids to a room (we had 12) The staff were ALL terrific. Helpful and efficient. They're especially patient when dealing with the kids, getting them fitted with jackets, goggles and headphones then explaining everything. It was fun to watch the kids enjoy this. We had a designated area and brought in pizza, cake, drinks and gift bags. A fun time was had by all. Our little birthday girl, Kaya said it was her best birthday yet. read more

The VR experience was very impressive. Everything from player height to lagless motion made the gameplay very immersive. Some friends were worried about a history of motion sickness but had no issue during the game. The staff are super helpful. My group of 6 were all first time players and they explained everything very well. It did take some time still to figure out the strategies but that's part of the fun. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out the videos are included in the tickets, not an extra cost like so many other experiences use. They also offered us 20% off if we booked another game within 24 hours and we happily took advantage of that offer. read more

Ricky and Dez made our experience amazing (: super kind, great hospitality, and made us feel super comfortable.

My son had a blast at this place, the only down fall was that you pay $57 an hour but 30 mins goes into getting you and your team suited up... so you only have 30 mins to play your VR experience. I feel that you getting suited up should not include your 1 hour play time. read more

Rickey was so amazing and made this such a fun and memorable experience!! He was informative and so funny. He made our bestie's bday one we'll never forget. read more

PSA: if you've tried other VR places, forget them all -- Sandbox VR is so much better! Unlike other places where they may give you a vest and a weapon that allows for tracking in the VR world, Sandoval ALSO gives you individual hand and feet trackers so you feel truly immersed in the VR world. First time I tried one of the Zombie games, and it was amazing! Our whole team of 6 strangers were running around shooting up zombies, ducking, helping tag each other back in -- we were all covered in sweat at the end but we made it! Second time i tried the Squid Game, less running around but I was still covered in sweat at the end, and still extremely fun! All the workers there are very friendly and clearly passionate about VR. The space feels very new and modern, clean bathrooms, and the clean water fountains were well appreciated. You can also buy drinks and snacks. Free 2 hour validated parking. It is a little pricier ($60 per game), but worth it! Can't wait to come back and try other games! read more

Great experience and activity if you've never done VR. We booked ahead for 2 people for my friends birthday for Amber Sky and they were accommodating because we were running late. They validate parking at the parking lot and when we arrived you can hear everyone screaming playing the zombie game. It's like a theme park virtual experience and super cool. I had some issues focusing but I was able to adjust it. They also serve food at this location! We got some chicken wings and some slushee samples. Jordan was our host and super helpful! Would recommend this activity for the whole family! read more

Squid Game had exactly what I want from VR as a roleplayer: a sense of "presence" that teleports you to a new place and feels immersive. The game had enough flexibility to allow me to define my own play-style without artificially imposed limitations. Staff were enthusiastic and helpful and I enjoyed the beverages on sale. Thanks Sandbox VR! read more

Really fun experience for our group of 5 (the max is 6) though we did have some issues of the headsets showing a black screen and a one time crash. But those issues got resolved quickly enough to not be too terrible. Highly recommend the Squid Game experience! It is some great fun for a large group read more

Get ready for a real trip and a great 30 minute workout. Better than therapy you take out all of your stress out on protecting the world as a robot protecting it from aliens. I screamed out all that was within me and will sleep well tonight. We went to Amber Sky 2088. Don't forget they do validate parking . Worn out from playing so going to bed lol! If you haven't tried it please check it out. It's unbelievable. read more

My husband had an amazing time it was for his birthday. The only thing that I was not happy with is he had to do a game that we didn't want because no one stated that you should RSVP the game you wanna do beforehand and because we drove so far we just went with what they had. read more

loved it had a great time for the first time everyone was so mind and helpful very immersive experience recommend! and will be coming back!

amazing! easy to follow and the guys were super friendly. I'd definitely bring back my family.

Great experience! Staff was really cool, the game was immersive and challenging enough to be fun.

We did the Stranger Things Catalyst story and it was an awesome experience. Right when we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest staff members who guided us through the entire experience with patience, knowledge about the technology, and exceptional customer service. We went on a Friday in the early afternoon and it was not busy at all. They have a lounge area for food and drinks for your group to enjoy or anyone that's not doing the experience to relax in. Our favorite part was the ending highlight video complete with narration by one of the staff members which was a fun post-experience memory for us to look back on. Thanks to the Sandbox VR Culver City team Anthony, Brian, Ricky, and Chris for making our experience unforgettable! read more

This was a very fun and unique VR experience - we brought my 7 yr old daughter to play the SQUID GAMES , it was 30 mins total time - doesn't sound like much but it's the perfect amount of time to be playing - the space was very clean and the staff was super friendly & they have a fully stocked bar for adults which was a plus When you walk in they make you check in on these tables Insert you email where they will send you videos of you & your party playing which is super cool . Once you're done they walk you to your room where you'll watch a instruction video while they hook you up with a head set and a vest that vibrates and hand and ankle censers You'll choose your avatar then Once everyone's ready it's game on!!! ** they have individual snack pack you pre order on the website & a squad pack with carries more snack ** ( my daughter and husband love all the snacks ) We will definitely be back with a group of adults --- super fun for the whole family read more

So much fun! I loved our host Rickey. They made us feel extremely comfortable and the game was super fun.

Best ever thanks Anthony you treat us very great. people must come to experience much needed for the body

Ricky and Chris were amazing !!! They were so friendly and funny. Would definitely come back to this location!!!!

Great Staff and games. I can't wait to come back for more and bring more people customer service is amazing and it actually feels like I'm in the game read more

I had no idea this would be as fun as it was. I thought it would be good, but it was outstanding. The staff was great. The graphics were great. The device for the Stranger Things surprised me. I was happy that it wasn't just a gun it made it really unique and fun in a way that I didn't expect. It was really cool to live in the show and fight the Demogorgons and other monsters and things from the series it's easy enough that I was able to figure out how to do it, engaging enough that it kept my interest and active enough that I was sweaty and tired when I was done so nice little workout on top of It I highly recommend this. You don't have to be a kid to go here you could have just as much fun as an adult who wants to play I also love that there were moments that I genuinely got frightened in the VR and I was like thinking to myself you're being silly. You're standing on the ground. Everything is fine, but the VR had me believing that I was not fine and I was scared so quite a bit more yelling for me than I anticipated overall, my opinion is everyone should at least try at once. It's really fun. And they send you little clip videos afterwards you can remember it and share it with your friends and family that missed out. read more

Came on a Sunday night to the new location! We didn't make reservations til a few hours before but they had lots of space. We played the Zombie themed game and I was really surprised at the intensity of the VR! All of the gear was light and you got to hold the real life weapon which then worked in game. We had only 1 technical issue (my vest was not turned on and therefore was not vibrating when I got hit) but the rest was SMOOTH sailing. 11/10 would return for a game here at this clean and spacious location. read more

I loved this place and I would recommend you check this out asap! read more
