What parents say
"If you're looking for a family fun night out this is the place to come! It's easy to schedule online. We never experienced VR before so we were so excited! We chose dead Deadwood Valley and we didn't expect heart-racing fun. It was a good experience! It's amazing how real it feels! The staff were so friendly and helpful with everything they walked us through it all. We most definitely want to come back and try squid games and the other games."

The games are extremely realistic and immersive, creating a truly thrilling adventure. The kids absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. It’s a fantastic activity for families or groups of friends, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend Sandbox VR for an unforgettable experience!"
