VR Fun! My boyfriend and I went to a VR gaming centre for the first time and had such a blast! VRPlayin uses the latest VR tech and is a gaming centre where you can play a variety of games. Each session is charged by the hour starting at $29/h. There is a huge selection of games from fighting to horror to sports to exploring and many more! The staff is super helpful so don't worry if you have never tried VR before! They give you an extensive tutorial and continues to help you throughout your session if you need it. We had such a great first VR experience! read more

VRPlayin - Arcades Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a team event at this location the other day. We started at 1:30 and had half the place rented for about 2 hours. The staff was courteous and answered all our questions when they walked us through how all things work. This place uses the VR in a neat way than the one I have I home. The play room has sensors that earn you in the game if you are too close to the walls. Then you can also Play a team game that you play against each mother which was the best. Many many games to select from. Easy to very hard. With either nothing to do or minimal movements too very intense. For all age groups as well. Fun place for sure. Two hours well spent! read more

If you have a group of people, make sure to book the party room. In the party room, there are only 2 screens, but at least there isn't a wall between players-- meaning that you can actually play together, and it's more fun for the group to watch. We were a group consisting of 3 adults, 1 teenager, and 2 seven-year-old kids, and this was an activity that was good for all ages. Jan was there the whole time, and he was a great help in explaining everything. Not only did he walk us through a tutorial and set us up, but he knew every game inside and out. For us first-timers, Jan was 100% necessary for a great afternoon. 2 hours flew by! The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars was because we'd initially reserved 3 screens, but when we got there, they only had two available. Two screens means that only two people could play at a time. The party room worked out really well for us, but it was just unfortunate that reservations may not always be honoured because of the arcade's popularity. Tip: guys, the Groupon deals are pretty good, so get on it! Weekdays or weekends-- both great deals. read more

Great service, great games, great experience! My first visit definitely was a pleasure! The staff is very friendly and well-versed with the games here. There are multiple VR stations which are welcoming for families, date nights, birthdays, a regular hangout in the city, and anyone who really wants to experience the VR realm. The place looks really modern and kept really clean. I made the booking online which was simple. You choose your time slot and they also offer deals on select time and days. Easy payment and confirmation sent to your email address. The staff guided us from the registration process to tutorial, and had great suggestions and tips for games we were interested in. Once we were comfortable, we were left on our own to enjoy and our staff member would check on us a good amount if we still needed help. Multiplayer function is only available if you purchase additional booths as each station had one set of VR equipment which includes headset, controllers, and headphones. So if you wanted to utilize a multiplayer experience for a larger group, this would be great or if you're looking to spend a bit more to have head-to-head competitions with a friend you could! Just note that there are a only a handful games that have a multiplayer function. At the storefront, there's a racing driving simulation machine that's free and available to use before or after your visit. It's a pretty realistic simulator and fun to enjoy after your session has ended or if you're early and waiting for your booth to be ready if you'd like. Also available is a selection of beverages, including alcoholic drinks available, if you wish to enjoy a drink while gaming. Thanks for a great time! I'd definitely return again! read more

Nice and clean VR place. Reservations are easy to make online. You'll pay in advance and it makes set up when you get there faster. You'll sign a waiver then they'll help you get started. Wednesdays are discounted! Currently 40% off. Run to take advantage of this great deal now. The games are super fun. My friend and I stuck mostly to multiplayer games so we could play together. One was called Trickster, and you had to defend against orcs and other creatures while fulfilling quests. There was another one where you had to defend an orange structure while fighting off really creepy, murderous robots. My favourite was Skyfront, a game where you fly around trying to shoot the other person before they shoot you. I won, no big deal. (It's totally a big deal.) Check this fun place out. read more

My family absolutely loved it! My mother, my brother, and I went to this place earlier today! We all loved it!! The hour flew by so fast, and the games were tons of fun! The staff is super nice, and they help you throughout games if you get stuck. Definitely an awesome place to go while in Toronto!! Thank you!! read more

See all

I was brought here for my birthday and could not have been more impressed. Their setup was slick and modern, with spacious, well-designed cubicles to game within, and *amazing*, engaged staff who really took the time to get us situated, geared up, and oriented to the virtual worlds we were entering. My partner and I had an absolute blast and I highly, highly recommend this venue for a VR exper, even if it's your first time! They have 18(!) bays and up to eight person multiplayer, too. Thanks for the great experience! read more

This was my first time trying a VR headset and it was very enjoyable. The place was clean, the headsets were sanitized and we each had our own earbuds. We had an employee walk us through how on to use it and gave us helpful tips along the way. The place offers drinks both alcoholic and not. However there's no food so make sure to eat something before going. ((Shout outs to supervisor Meagan for her help and patience with all my questions and to Victoria for being so welcoming and delightful)) read more

Quite literally: unbelievable. Have you ever wanted to play VR games but can't afford a big gaming rig or an Oculus? This is the perfect place to get your fix. I saw this place while we were walking down the street. Our group actually was headed to the cat cafe next door but this place caught my eye as I hadn't seen a proper arcade in a long time, much less ever a VR arcade. Sitting with the kitties, I went on their webpage, which seemed a little intimidating as their reservations list closed me out of the next hour about 15 minutes early, but I told the group I'd stroll next door to check if we could have an open booth. Upon arriving, the staff was extraordinarily understanding and helpful. They set us up with a booth right away (I believe it was $45 for an hour?) and helped us get oriented with the hardware. An hour flew by, mainly because we had three people who wanted to play. The only knock I have against the place is maybe package deals for 3+ hours. I could've easily spent 3 hours playing VR. If you're a gamer and even just visiting GTA for a few days, this is a must visit. Don't miss it read more

Awesome environment. The person working was great. Although he didn't seem in the best of moods I won't sit there and ruin a review on that. Everyone has those days. He explained how to sign in and gave us directions on how to play. We played multiplayer (highly recommend) by booking two separate booths. The games were very fun and easy to get the hang of. One thing I can say though is I wished they had paper towels because MAN after a few intense sessions you start to get some moisture on the face. read more

The games are fun, a wide range from the stream platform. They do have membership once you been there. Booking required, even if you just walk in, the clerk would instruct you to book and pay on the internet. Friendly services, but I did experienced some technical issues so they switched stations for me. Generally it's a good place to enjoying some fun with friends under multiplayer mode. read more

I had a great time there. They explained everything well and were helpful (even with a game cheat or 2). The equipment was well cared for and cleaned well. Great deals through the week. I got a good price on a Wednesday night. I'll have to come back on a Thursday when there is a game time and beer combo deal. read more

A wonderful experience for the oh-so-hard-to-please adolescent boys. They loved the wide selection of available games, and the expert guidance of Emanuel helped them navigate between them quickly. I strongly recommend this place- we will definitely come back! read more

Amazing group of staff that gave us an experience we are definitely telling our friends! Colin was the staff who went above and beyond. He fit us in even when we went in last minute and took the time to teach us even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. Thank you so much for an unforgettable visit! 100% coming back!! read more

Nicholas was a great tutor! In some virtual reality places they just leave you alone for you to navigate and assume that you know what you're doing. Nicholas spent time to explain everything to us and stayed most of the time to help us play and understand the equipment and the game. He was very helpful and I would definitely recommend this to those who want to have some fun and to try new things. read more

Excellent staff and place is nice and clean. Boys had so much fun and didn't want to leave.

This was a fantastic first VR experience. The employees were super helpful and we had a great time. Unfortunately we were visiting from the US, or else I would be back all the time! read more

Great place, friendly and helpful staff especially for someone new to VR. They explain, make game recommendations and help you throughout if they hear you are stuck. Already made another booking to go back! read more

I booked an hour for my teenage son, he loved it. After a short introduction the staff let him choose what he wanted to play. They were close by to offer help or tips. Lots of fun. read more

Was very good, went on a Saturday morning ( 11:20 am ) place wasn't crowded, the staff were friendly and very helpful. They demo how to use the equipment and then set you up and walk you through the first time or as many times as you need. I tried the zombie game, Brookhaven, as well as a space shooting game and the driving game at the front and thought they were all great. My friends tried basketball and a ping pong type game and were also impressed. The game experience was seamless ( no glitching ) and the headsets fit fully and comfortably over my glasses ( not all headsets will ). We rented two stations ( they put us side by side ) for an hour each, but they actually let us have more than an hour as they do the demo and orientation at the beginning of your session. I would like to see: either a membership ( buy 10 hours for this price, use on any day ), or a discount that would be applied to every hour after the first for sessions of more than one hour etc. I would also like to see coat hooks on the inside of the women's bathroom doors for hanging up coats, purses etc, when using the facilities. Otherwise, I had a great time and will be going back :) read more

If you're looking for a family friendly futuristic activity, this is it. There were a decent selection of games (wish there were more two player games) but I would say the level of difficulty was relatively high for some of the more interesting games (ie. The jurassic park game). Had a lot of fun when I went still. The one issue is if you are relatively easy to get motion sickness, there are some games to avoid including Sprint vector. I wouldn't say I get motion sickness very easily either but after about 10 min of it, I felt like my head was spinning and about to throw up. I spent the next 5 min sitting down and catching my breath because I felt so uncomfortable. The game was recommended by the staff but I wish they had warned me ahead of time that it often causes people to feel vertigo symptoms and to get motion sickness. (They only told me after I mentioned feeling this way) it's not a cheap activity either at $30/hr but a really interesting experience and a good look at the future of entertainment. read more

This is the most comfortable and friendly VR lounge that i've been to in North America! The staff are knowledgeable and were able to get my son and I into a multiplayer game effortlessly. The onboarding system is great and allowed us to familiarize ourselves in VR quickly and the game selection was a breeze! The environment is clean, organized, and contemporary which sets it apart from most of the competition in Toronto. I highly recommend VRPlayin! read more

I've been here about four times now. I've had a lot of fun every time. The staff is friendly and helpful. They even help us out when we're stuck in a game, which is often. It's got to be hard, setting up these complicated games for amateurs like us. But they're patient. One thing that I hope the management fixes is the height of the headsets. For short people, the headset tether cable overhead gets tight, and pulls the headset off all the time, whenever you move your head. That is a significant hassle, and it's got to be easy to fix, right? Nevertheless - I would recommend to anyone I know that they try out VR Playin at least one time! read more
