    We had an absolutely amazing time at Sandbox! This was our first visit, and we came to celebrate my…read moreson's birthday. From start to finish, the experience was flawless and incredibly fun. A huge thank you to Gisselle -- she was wonderful! She made sure we knew exactly what to do and helped make everything smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. The best part was the surprise at the end: when the team found out it was my son's birthday, they set up a special VR birthday moment just for him. It was such a cool touch and made the experience feel truly magical. Worth every penny! Thank you all for making our night unforgettable!

    Sandbox VR has some of the best virtual reality experiences on the market. I've been to their…read moreCerritos location here several times with coworkers and I've taken family to their location at the Venetian in Las Vegas. If you're unfamiliar with them, then I'd highly recommend their zombie games (Deadwood Mansion, Deadwood Phobia) as they have the most immersive experiences. Came back on November 14 with 16 adult coworkers and we played the Stranger Things VR Game. In that game, you are one of the "kids" with the telepathic powers and you attack the demogorgons with your "powers". The gameplay reminds me of the Spiderman ride at California Adventure. I like/prefer the feel and haptics of the weapons you get to use in their zombie games, and I think that's a generally better experience. Our experience was hampered quite a bit by lag, that brought the game to a halt at several key moments. Our group also had a suboptimal experience with the onboarding process. We have been here several times, and we were a group of working adults; however, we were spoken to as if we were children who were incapable of figuring out how to put on sensors. Moreover, a third of our group, with their gear (sensors/headsets) donned in their private room, had a thirty-minute delay to start the game with no assistance from the employee who was supposed to be helping them. With the inaction, the headsets caused some to feel tired, and one of our group members left in frustration. This unexpected delay impeded our other plans, and this was unacceptable. After these issues, when we talked to this employee in charge, they said that the issue occurred "because someone else didn't do their job properly". We didn't need to know that. We just needed accountability and professionalism to get what we paid for. Because the cost per person for a game is fifty to sixty dollars per person, you expect a smooth experience when your group puts down $750+. The experience was suboptimal and our group of 16 left with a bad taste that was incongruent with our previous experiences.

    Seriously such a great activity for both kids and adults. It's located on the 1st floor of the…read moreNorth County mall next to See's Candy and Old Navy and right below the Cheesecake Factory. It's a VR play store where they have individual stalls (about 8) each equipped with a screen, one VR headset, and hand remotes. You can play by yourself or join someone else's game in the other stalls. There's a 100 different games to choose from. There are also 2 virtual driving stations. Due to the complexity of using the remotes, I'd say these activities are best suited for 7-8 year olds and above. They also do birthday packages which I'm sure are popular among the kids. The owner Jordan is awesome. He is super friendly and helpful. I don't know how he does it but he is able to manage all 8 individual stalls and troubleshoot for each person right away. You pay every 30 min. They offer happy hour which is half off Monday-Thursday from 5pm to close. So we paid $10 for 30 mins for each stall which was a good deal. They also have a punch card so the more you play, the more free play time you can earn. My kids are already asking to go back lol :p we shall return soon for more fun!

    We've been to 2 birthday parties here. The kids had fun. Located at the entrance near Target and…read moreimmediately on the left when you first walk in. The meeting area is in front but there's only 1 small couch, a coffee table, and maybe 2 folding chairs. There was a party ahead of ours so they were finishing up cake/food on the couch/table while we stood around after our start time and also ate a bit. The host was able to put their food in the ledge but could be improved by separating the areas or having more tables/seating (that aren't counter height off to the side). I imagine they were cleaning off the equipment/controllers after the previous party, as they had cake, and before our party. There are plenty of different games to enjoy and switch off even for numerous kids. The staff were friendly and helpful. Another option for kids' birthday parties these days :)
