What a fun experience!!! My kids did a camp at the grid and had a blast. The games were unique, the kids were engaged, getting physical movement and believe it or not, interacting with each other. I didn't think these would be qualities of a VR camp, I was very pleasantly surprised. Pan and Tina did a great job with the kids and they run a very cool business. I cannot wait to come back and do a VR themed "girls night out"! read more

Best party ever! I threw my son's 11th birthday party at The Grid (boys aged 8-13) and they all had a great time! The owners were there and very hands on, keeping the party going. It was so much fun for everyone and I liked how little I had to do. I actually got to enjoy the party myself. The boys had 90 minutes of VR laser tag like play. We had the whole place to ourselves so didn't have to worry about the boys getting split up, or random people being around. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks, and the kids came and ate as they pleased. If I throw my son a party next year, we will likely come back here. It's a 20 min drive from Solana Beach, but well worth it. read more

What an amazing experience! My husband booked a meta brush light painting & hyper tag! There are so many features available in the art space! You can get lost and create just about anything! The hyper tag was action packed and immersive! Pan is a wonderful guide and extremely helpful with newbies to virtual reality. We will definitely be back with our kids, friends and family! Thank you for the awesome experience Pan! read more

We had my son's 10th birthday and it exceeded expectations. Pan was a gracious and organized host, he even let us try out the equipment prior to booking the party. We did the laser tag which had multiple levels and the game naturally switches out the kids so everyone got a turn and there was never an awkward time that you had to tell the kids their turn was over. Before us, another private party had damaged one of the VR setups, it worked for us for half the time and the studio was kind enough to give us extra time and a discount for the trouble. Really great customer service and the type of small business that you want to patron. The pricing is very reasonable, would highly recommend and worth the drive from carmel valley! We plan to come back for my older son's bday! They also do sip and VR paint that sounded really cool. read more

I took my sons here to celebrate my oldest sons 10th birthday and this place did not disappoint. My 6 year old and I had an amazing time as well as the birthday boy. My husband and I plan to come here to try out their more spooky, Halloween-themed VR experiences. Thank you to the Grid for giving my children an experience they won't forget! read more

20 5 star reviews?! They must've only gone on a weekend and not needed to reach anyone that works or runs it. I bought a Living Social deal for the 2 people 2 rounds of VR M-Thur only option a couple months ago, that expires March 20. Plenty of time for my husband and daughter to use it, so I thought. My first attempt was going online last month to book for my daughter's birthday on a Monday, and noticed they're not open or "available" M-Thur. Confused as they specifically made a deal for those days at a cheaper rate than weekends, I called to ask them about the situation. After a voicemail, my call was never returned. I paid $11 for this deal, but instead, last minute, I spent $50 elsewhere for an escape room on a weekday. It was still in my vouchers to use til March 20, so went online again to see if perhaps the calendar showed different openings. Nope. Called again. No call back again. Last Friday night was my last attempt. They have to be open, right? Maybe a better chance of reaching someone or getting a call back? NOPE. 3 messages and 3 unreturned calls spread out over about 3 weeks, and sure as shit as I came on here to write this review, their hours show they're closed M-Thur. Before my deal expires and for the reason stated in the previous sentence, I'm over trying to give my business to someone who very clearly doesn't want or need it. Kind of impossible to use a voucher that's valid ONLY on the very days they're closed. False advertising to gain new customers, by offering a deal that can't be redeemed, is unethical. Thank goodness I was able to get a full refund. Virtual reality seems to have skewed their idea of actual reality when it comes to customer service. read more

What an incredibly cool place! I wanted to take my boyfriend on a laser tag date and found this place with fantastic reviews. He's a total gamer so this sounded right up our alley. We had such a blast and it was totally affordable. I can't wait to bring more people and have an even crazier experience. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Awesome! Not realizing they're closed on Mondays, my two sons and I went to check this place out. The owner, Pan, happened to be walking by and asked if we wanted to come in and check out the new levels he created. He let us play for half the normal price, and we had a blast! Awesome concept, felt like we were really in the game. They're regular prices are super cheap for the location and well worth the experience. We will definitely be going back! Been back three times and the experience keeps getting better. Awesome place for family fun! read more

This place is a lot of fun! I came to try it and it was amazing! It was the first time I had ever experienced VR and I was amazed!!! This is the coolest thing you can do for such a cheap price! read more

Had such a great time here! Came in with my boyfriend and we were lucky enough to be the only two in there! The owner was super hands on and showed us how to really enjoy the games! Highlyyy recommend!!! read more

This place is amazing! It is a modern twist on the classic video arcade. They have multiple Virtual Reality machines ready to play, and a great varitey of games to play. The staff is extremely helpful and every time i have been, they have been very accommodating. This is a great place to spend time, and is very reasonably priced! read more

Took 14 kids here for an 11 yr olds bday party - everyone loved it! Even my husband and I played a few rounds, it was a lot of fun.

My sons, (14 & 20) tripped upon The Grid last night and had a really fun time . It was our first foray into a VE group gaming studio. There are a lot of different choices of games to play plus you can go into a virtual reality world and create art . It was amazing and I would go back again. The host /creator was so gracious to us . This would be a great place for a birthday party for adults or kids . read more

That was sick...surprise find, and totally everything you see on facebook and expect...to disappear into this real world that makes you forget you're wearing glasses...must try!! Going Again!!! read more

OMG!! This is fricking amazing!! I got it for my boyfriend, a total gamer, and he, a friend and I ( all of us game) went and had a BLAST. Pan is incredibly nice and sociable and the interface was really easy. I'm going to do it again. It's a big workout and good knees are a plus for the ducking and dodging, but I'm a fat 40 year old librarian, and I may have found a new addiction. Can't wait for the monthly passes to come out! read more

Took the family, we had a great time and even had a great workout.. kids loved the game play we will be back.. thanks for the hookup

Had a fun time! The set up is HTC Vives networked together. The way tag is played is you're on islands that have teleporters that will take you to another island. These islands give you "angles" to shoot other players. This game is more fun with larger groups... but 1v1 is still fun. It's a little work out too! Good fun. Plan to go back another day read more

My daughter and I had our first virtual reality experience at The Grid in Oceanside. Our instructor, Gonzo, was so patient and thorough teaching us how do use the controls and how to maneuver each game/activity. We experienced six different games/activities in an hour to see what virtual reality was all about however there were many many others to choose from for other days!!! I will definitely be back to this location knowing how patient the instructors are and how exciting the they make our experience! Thank you!!!! read more

I discovered The Grid through Groupon and man this is one of the best buys I have ever purchased from them. I took my two boys, 12 & 10, and all three of us where blown away with the experience. I really felt like I was in a different universe experiencing myself being a soldier on the hunt or being hunted by my boys. We liked it so much we bought more games after we finished what we had previously purchased. We are going again this Sunday and I expect to enjoy it as much or more as we did the first time. read more

OMG! The entire experience was AMAZING! The best VR experience and then combine that with friends and competition and you have the best time ever. We called to make an appointment and he made sure we could come in and play right away. He gave us a GREAT deal and we had so much fun. Definitely going again soon. read more

Wow! This place is a must! I had never tried VR before and this was an incredible first experience. I was smiling the whole time. The Hypertag was fun, realistic, and a great way to spend time with some friends. You get a fair amount of movement in as well with ducking and dodging your friends shots! I can't wait to go back and try this again, can't recommend enough. This would make a great spot for birthdays or other occasions as well! read more

Virtual Reality laser tag. Played one on one with the wife, and it was fun and good exercise too. The staff person was very helpful too. Each person is in a separate room. They had 3 types of game settings. The last one was the best. read more

This place is a great place for adults young and old. Defintely a great way to experience the land of virtual reality. My son is 14 and we had a blast there!!! Got our sweat on and enjoyed sone Mother/ son bonding time as i kicked his butt ;). Pan (the owner and creator) is extremely welcoming and explicit on how the system works and how to get the best experience out of your time. I highly recommend this facility and all it has to offer. My son and i will definitely be back soon (he asks everyday after school if we can go)!!! read more

If you want something to do in Oceanside, check THE GRID!!! I went for my son birthday with some of his friends. I called the day of and they were very nice and ACCOMMODATING in getting my son friends in even though we didn't have an appointment. I highly recommend going and experiencing Virtual Reality fun. Thank again for an awesome experience and most of all AFFORDABLE!!!!!! read more

My 12 year old loves laser tag but we were looking for something to do for his birthday and by chance came across the Grid. What an amazing concept. This is the future. In 5-10 years you'll laugh at the idea of laser tag when you can go into a fully virtual world and run and jump as whatever character you want. The support and service was awesome and could not recommend this more strongly. Kids were all saying this was the coolest birthday party they had ever been to. Thank you! read more

Had a 13 year old birthday party here and the boys loved it. Everyone had a great time. Staff is super helpful, and we had the whole place to ourselves. It was nice to do something a little different for a birthday party, and The Grid came through. Thanks. read more

Beyond fun! My husband and 2 sons (12 and 9)planned some male bonding and I came as the photographer. They had a blast! The owner/creator of the laser tag is SO NICE, interesting, and engaging. The guys started with a half hour of arcade. Everyone has so much fun, but my husband, who has chronic back pain, stopped after 20 min because of the pain. Once the half hour was up, my 12 year old said he couldn't continue with their next half hour of laser tag because he had a migraine. My husband told the 9 year old he would do laser tag for a little bit, despite his pain, so that he would have someone to play with. The owner told my husband and son that they could actually play while sitting. They both liked that idea. However, once the game started, neither my son nor husband stayed in their seats. Both of their pains dissipated because they became so engrossed in the game. Try this place! It is so great that it heals pain! read more

This is such a fun activity! If you are going on a date I would suggest doing this towards the end because you will be sweating. I went with my bf and we had the best time. The staff is super laid back and made it a great experience! Already planning on having another date night around this place! read more

This is the coolest thing!! Went with my husband and 2 boys aged 10 & 11 and played a couple rounds of virtual reality laser tag. We all agree...it's awesome!!!! The owner was so nice and was very good at explaining how to play. The boys can't wait to go do it again. It's short and sweet and leaves you wanting more. So happy to have this unique experience in our town. We'll be back. read more

I went with my cousins and we had so much fun! The boys were ages 8-12 and they loved it!

Found this great company while in Carlsbad on vacation. Fantastic experience for the whole family. Knowledgeable and attentive staff. Groundbreaking, immersive experience, taking multi-player laser tag to a whole new level. Used a Groupon for a great value. Can't wait to head back to The Grid for another fun VR gaming night! read more

Fun experience for whole family. Something different is always good. And host was very accomidating.

I took my son and his friends here to celebrate his 5th grade promotion. They ended up liking it more than traditional laser tag! Pan was a great guide and even taught them a little bit about programming. They are begging to come back! read more

Super fun! My husband and nephew went and had a blast! Bring water though, you move around a lot!

Had the amazing opportunity to meet Pan (The Owner) today as he showed me around and let me try the games out. I was blown away. The system was INSANE. So much fun! Pan is the nicest man I've ever met. He taught me a lot I didn't know about Gaming. I highly highly recommend and will be bringing my coworkers back. read more

Was great fun and the owner allowed me my brother and Dad to go try it out, This place needs more business I'm sure to go back soon

i came here with some friends a few days ago, and it was incredible. no complaints. we found it by chance, and i am so lucky to have participated. it was so incredibly fun and immersive! nobody should pass this up. coming from a person who never plays video games, this is an amazing experience! i really loved it, if you cant tell. the people there are especially kind, talking to us, explaining how it works and the programming we use. definitely an opportunity you shouldn't miss, especially if you have children (but its still fun with adults!). read more
