Space VR is a kiosk on the 3rd Fl of the Queens Center Mall. It offers virtual reality games with…read morea headset and handheld controllers (for 2 people), simulation rides on a motion chair (for 4 people) or car simulator (for 2). Pricing is per person/game starting at $11 a game, up to $29 for 3. Since it is open to people traffic, you can watch customers while they are playing a game or on a ride. Because of this, I think the per game/ride pricing is fine (unlike some VR game places which have pricing by the hour). Also, if you/your child just want to try how it is, it's not too much $ for a little time off from shopping. About the games, there is a limited amount to choose from. My sons thought their game was ok but was supposed to have audio, instead had subtitles. We didn't ask how many minutes a game is and didn't time it, but my son felt like it was about 10 minutes and was just stopped by the staff member, who was nice and patient. Didn't see a "walk the plank" game I wanted to try again so I picked a roller coaster ride. I asked for a scary one to see how the scenery was via the headset - was just ok, video quality could be better in color and be clearer. The motion chair moved a little. I've seen other people screaming while on these rides but for me, of course it doesn't feel like real coaster ride (which I love) so I was kind of quiet, but it was a longer ride than real ones. Also, didn't notice but would like to know how they clean the headsets between customer use.

So when I discovered Eclipso's virtual Titanic experience, we knew we had to go! What an incredible experience! We weren't quite sure what to expect, but we were absolutely WOWED. The virtual reality is mind-blowing, especially if you've never tried it before. The staff were wonderful, helpful, and laid-back, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. I can't recommend it enough! We left talking about how amazing it was, and now we're planning to return for the Everest experience. Titanic was a hit, and we're ready for our next adventure!

Finally got a chance to do this after trying it in midtown. Staff is very helpful and the game selection is abundant. Pricing is about a dollar a minute so it's like a Chinese massage.

I came here yesterday night with my daughter and some Yelp Elites. I found it kind of pricy in my…read moreopinion for the family group pricing at one hour. It was $46 pre tax for one adult and one child. It was alright for me though since it was my first time experiencing Gaming City. To my surprise the price was pretty worth it for all the arcade and games they have. There were games like table hockey, shooting hoops, hockey, VR simulation and interaction, racing games with a simulated motorcycle and race car. I did not expect it to have so many different types of games with DDR and a dancing grid. It just sucked that you cannot finish everything in one hour. We were given a watch to time the whole stay that we paid for. They shined red when the time was up. After the arcade play, we were given each 3 tokens for the claw machines. There were big machines that required 2 tokens and the small one only needed 1 token. The claw machines were so difficult to play. The claws were really sensitive and moved a lot. My friends and I did not even win anything. Sucks. The whole gaming city was really clean and dark. It smelled really clean and the noise level was appropriate. There were bathrooms in the middle of the whole place that were really clean. This place is a must go place for anyone who loves arcade and VR. They have it here in one location, which is right off the train station.

Great new arcade in Astoria! Individual prices are a little high, so best to purchase a…read moregroup/family package, which makes the prices more reasonable. (See my photos for exact price lists/options). We purchases a pkg for 3 ppl for 1 Hr, so it came out to $23.33 per person. (Individual price would have been $32pp). You're given a bracelet to wear. Once your time slot is up, your bracelet will turn red, letting you know your time has expired. This arcade is different from other arcades since it's unlimited play for the specific time period you purchase. The only exception are the multiple Claw Machines at the front of the store: these machines require tokens. Note that at the end of your time slot, each person will receive 3 free tokens to use on these Claw Machines; but there are very slim chances of actually winning something. Also, the Claw Machines require 2 tokens! My niece had 9 tokens and won Nothing!! All-in-all, they had some fun games. There are even 2 VR games. But be warned: if you get motion sickness easily, do NOT do the VR games! lol I was really disappointed that they didn't have Skee-Ball games, which is my fave arcade game. But we had fun exploring all their other games. Customer service (except for the below issue) was terrific. All personnel were very friendly and helpful. They really looked out for everyone on the game floor, ready to help if you didn't understand the games/instructions. There are lockers, restrooms and beverage vending machines. Everything was super clean. Note that the VR machines are sanitized in between players, which I really appreciated. So why 4 Stars and not 5 Stars? Because we had to sign waivers ahead of time, and we were told to show up 15 min BEFORE our time slot, to make sure we check-in Before our time slot starts. Sounds fair, right? Well, we showed up 15 min early, as instructed, only to find out that they are closed! Our time slot was 2pm, and they actually opened at 2pm....so why tell us to show up at 1:45pm on a hot humid day, and make us stand out in the sun for 15 sweaty minutes?!?! Grrrrr....so incredibly annoying!! So just a heads up: if you're going to their first time-slot of the day, do NOT show up 15 min early!!

So Bane has been on my radar for a while now but I only had the chance to go on Blackout night…read morewhich I'm bummed about because the lights were off and I couldn't really get a good feeling for the scenes. However for what I did see, Bane knocked it out of the water. The actors were top notch and really played up their characters. The environment was crazy immersive and scary. We watched the Mercy TV count rise as we stood in line and it totally freaked us all out. Once inside, we can hear people screaming from the rooms next to us and it was a cool feeling all around. I'm suped to come back next year and check out Bane with full lighting and I'm excited about their events to come. Oh and yes, people actually get to the front door and yell Mercy, two of my friends chickened out before they even opened the door for us to go in! Good scary job Bane!

Haunted houses are a fun fall activity. I went to Bane Haunted House with a couple of friends to…read morecheck it off my list of fall activities. We purchased our tickets online in advance, and got to the site pretty easily. We got on line and read the posted rules before walking into the attraction. The attraction itself is pretty creative, with a few things I haven't seen in other haunted houses. But the quitter counter, which displayed the number of guests who quit in fear, made it seem scarier than it actually was. It was honestly a bit too dark in there to see the costumes/makeup of the actors. The majority of the scares were jump scares.

So I assumed I would be standing by the sidelines while my friends geeked out in a way I felt I couldn't. This was so not the case. There is something for everyone at Maker Faire. I was amazed at the go kart races, soldered for the first time making a blinking lights button (Still can't believe I made that! Me!), assembled a marshmallow shooter, went to a panel about movie prop making, saw the World's Largest 3D printer, make a fan out of popsicle sticks and a battery, and saw the coolest show ever involving a ton of Coke and Mentos (EepyBird) that blew my mind. I did a lot of other fun stuff, but those were the highlights. The entire event is huge, so prepare to do a lot of walking. There are food trucks and seating in some spots, but you have to walk around a bit to find it. But what I think Make Faire does best is inspire. It's inspired me to learn and build beyond my comfort zone. And I think anyone who goes will walk away with the same feeling.

The Giant mouse trap is back this year and is always fun to watch. There are plenty to see and lot of freebies! The event is wonderful for kids and adults too. Can't wait for next year! Tip: parking is a big problem so go early or take public transportation; but is not so easy. You can walk from the 7-train 111th St. Station which is long or take buses to 108th St. (Q58 and Q23) and walk just one block. They need a shuttle. Food is expensive and just average but not as expensive as a baseball game; AND YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING! They do have free bike parking, So ride your bike if you can! I recommend visiting Sunday because it is less crowded.

The choreography was terrible because it seemed like the dances were made up on the spot except for one of the dancers who seemed to have a dancing background but not even that could save this show that was overly-priced. I wish I could ask for my $45 back but at last, this was a lesson to me to not go to anything that doesn't have any reviews because I have a feeling that they would have been all one-stars. The theater itself was very disorganized and had chairs set very closely to each other in what was the orchestra area. The stage itself looked like it belonged in a middle school and the balcony sets were too close to one another. The staff was nice and friendly but that was the only good thing about this whole experience.
