We tried Diablo Escapes and it was a fun experience. I've done physical escape rooms before, but…read morethis was my first VR escape room experience. Our game was the pirate themed Depths of Osiris (check out the preview vids on YouTube), and it was perfect for a team of an adult and two ten year olds. My boys had no trouble getting used to the VR gear they had to wear for the experience (a headset and two hand controllers - it was their first time). We had to cooperate to solve each room's puzzle to unlock a new room. Eventually, we got to the final scenario which was exciting and really required us to collaborate. The puzzles were well constructed and mostly understandable from a logic perspective. The graphics and sound were pretty decent (it's not super-high res like Cyberpunk) and matched the gameplay perfectly. We got some timely tips from the game master too, and cleared the puzzle with about a minute left on our 45 minute timer. The facilities are super clean and well maintained. They also have snacks and drinks which are nice to make the visit special for younger kids. My sons want to come back, and I do too. I also heard they are adding a physical escape room, so definitely something to look forward to.

Such a fun experience! A mix of escape room and whimsical virtual reality - what a refreshing way…read moreto reinvent both worlds. I've been to Diablo Escapes twice now and have always been impressed by the customer service. Make sure you get there 15-20 minutes early so you have time to finish any waivers and get your packs set up for the room. There is an adjacent parking lot so you shouldn't have any issue finding any spot. You can easily book online and see what difficulty level each game is. If you've done VR or escape rooms before, you can probably start with intermediate. Each game will require some communication and teamwork to solve challenges or other puzzles. It can get a little hectic, so make sure you mesh well with your group (truly). The VR component really makes you feel like you've been transported to another place - be warned that it can make you feel a little queasy if you're not used to it, but the staff are great in making sure you are comfortable. They're quick to help troubleshoot if you get stuck or anything. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun group outing. We went over to philz coffee after and then went to Bare Bottle Brewing for some lunch and drinks.

Five stars, but with a real caveat: the equipment and technical side was rough…read more We came in on a busy Sunday for a birthday outing with six D&D loving adults, and we had multiple technical issues during the game. Several wristbands had to be tightened awkwardly because they were not staying on correctly, and we had to stop around five times during the session to fix equipment or tracking issues. For something this short and this expensive, that part was frustrating. With that said, we still had a great time. The experience is kind of like the mini golf of the future: a little janky, a little cheesy, a little stupid, and genuinely fun. Even with the stops, we were laughing, yelling, trying to coordinate, and talking about it afterward. I would not go in expecting a perfectly seamless sci fi theme park ride. But as a memorable birthday or group activity it absolutely worked. The staff was friendly and the concept is cool.

I only found out about this event on the local news when they did a feature on it and made it look like the coolest thing since sliced bread. You probably didn't know sliced bread was cool, did you? Anyway I was sold, so I got tickets for Jamie W. and me. At first I thought $55 was rather steep, but what do I know about virtual reality? Except that Zuck plowed billions into it with Meta and just laid off 11,000 employees because the public wasn't ready for it. I sure wasn't ready, but this experience made me think I could be ready for an hour's worth of it before I go into sensory overload. As newly designated space explorers, Jamie and I were handed our bulky VR headsets. I have to admit I was amused at the sight of headset-wearing people in a huge warehouse space doing all sorts of random movements. Once our headsets got turned out, however, we were completely immersed into a walkable 3-D model of the International Space Station. It didn't matter if we were walking inside or outside of the station, we were defying gravity, baby. There were lots of floating blue orbs which you bat away in order to see videos of the actual station with astronauts talking to us face-to-face. We also experienced a spacewalk and could see Earth below our feet. I felt like Sandra Bullock in "Gravity" before the debris hit... ...and before George Clooney unplugged himself out of fear of spending eternity with a woman his own age. After allowing us to sit down to absorb the universe around us (and to let the next group come in), we took off our headsets and headed into a Star Trek-like room where Ryoji Ikeda's "The Universe Within the Universe" was displayed in all its kinetic glory. Ikeda's artistic vision was mesmerizing as it spanned from the microscopic to the macroscopic aspects of the cosmos (video: https://bit.ly/3ts6qMq). As we exited, I have to admit I felt a bit of motion sickness, and it wasn't virtual. Regardless, I was so awestruck that I bypassed the gift shop where I noticed they were selling actual View-Masters. This was a pretty awesome experience.

If you're looking for a state of the art VR experience…read morecombined with the wonders of space and some self reflection on humanity (its a lot, I know)....then look no further. Its an hour long experience where you get to tour the International Space station (real video footages). Its immersive so you get to walk around a large area. Everyone turns into star beings so you don't run into each other. There's also some really cool digital art installations at the end too (warning: might trigger seizures). My only feedback is that I wished it was longer! So many parts to explore that I didn't get the chance to. If thats not possible, then having a more curated video selection where we get the greatest hits and learn more about the ISS (how they eat, clean, sleep etc). Afterwards, you can explore the waterfront! Have some bbq with a view and take in the history of this area.

I've done Sandbox VR a number of times…read more Each year it gets better and better. They have a number of games like "Squid Games" and the "Deadwood" series. I prefer the shoot-em-up games like "Deadwood" because it is you (and your team) vs the zombies. The graphics are incredible and each year the virtual reality gets even more incredible. A new twist they now offer is a video that you receive that superimposes your immersive action. This really brings to life what you experienced and is a great memento.

My expectations were low, since I was never impressed with home gaming VR devices that I've tried VR headsets at home. But the combination of VR, multiple people, tracking devices, and actually holding physical weapons made this a great VR experience. We played Amber Sky 2088, and we got sent a video highlight reel afterwards - which was a nice touch. All-in-all, an awesome time!

Bubble Planet was PERFECT for my daughter. She's very sensitive to sound and certain textures, so…read moreI'm always careful with activities, but this place was a hit. Her favorite part was right at the beginning, where the sea animals were swimming on the floor and she could step on them to make them go faster. She also loved the bubble pit, the bubbles everywhere, and the VR experiences. Everything felt fun and gentle, not overwhelming. It also wasn't super crowded, which made the whole experience even better. The environment was calm enough for her to enjoy herself without getting overstimulated, and I truly appreciated that. If you have a child with sensory sensitivities or just want something fun and different to do, I definitely recommend Bubble Planet. We had a great time and would absolutely go again.

(Wasn't really operational) Our group of friends wanted to try this experience out. We would recommend it for children for 10 and under. Since there were 12 of us, we opted for group rates which brought it down just a tad. My teenager was board but my 10 year old was down to just take in the moment and I was able to take looks of pics of my lil man. Great photo opportunities for little kids. The string lights is nice but tough to do without others walking around and having backgrounds. You have to definitely be patient enough for that pic chance where you're in between someone leaving or coming in!

Then you are outfitted with goggles and a headset. The experience is so interactive! I was scared and I didn't realize I was screaming. I felt so bad for my friends when I saw the video afterwards. I really got into the game and ended up having the most kills lol. I also really like the video they give you afterwards of the experience. I highly recommend it for a teambuilding or party.

He comes from a storied Louisiana family of Cajun and Zydeco musicians. He is versatile, sings, plays the triangle, the harmonica and the washboard. and in my little experience of watching him play with various groups, he lets everyone shine. His band's music was made for dancing and I have two left or right feet. The regular fans know what they are coming for - to dance. One of these days I'll earn without upsetting a partner. But then someone has to pay the price for teaching a newbie. A great place to visit for affordable beer and some wine. If Andre performs there, I'll be prepped to dance :)
