Centre VR

Amazing Experience

Came for brothers 30th great experience great family fun had lots of laughs and would 100% go do it again! Highly recommend

Excellent

Had a fantastic experience with the boys. Staff are great and very helpful. Would definitely come back again as 1 hour is simply not enough.

Great gamer day out

Great place, great staff. Friendly and super helpful! Will definitely be back again soon, everyone had a fun time on the VR equipment and the choice of games was fantastic. Thanks guys!

Something different to treat kids

Brought my daughter and friend for a Friday night treat (both 11yrs). Both loved it. Easy to hook, on the more expensive side, but plan to get a month half price card as they want to come again.

Wonderful Staff

Wonderful staff and a well-kept VR space. Overall a fantastic experience, the prices sting a little but you 100% get what you pay for. Highly recommended, both for people thinking about buying a VR headset but not sure if they want one yet, and just for those looking for a fun day out.

We had a blast

Great support from staff. We are older parents and not tech savvy. We had a blast! Kids loved it and we had a really good laugh as a family.

Great fun, staff were brilliant

A friend and I had a game with our two children on Mon 21st Feb. The game was great fun and the venue was clean with a good vibe! Best of all, and the reason for my review, were the fab staff on duty that day. They were super helpful when we were struggling somewhat to figure out how to unlock clues in our game. But more importantly, they were so helpful with our children who were being typical annoying kids at times! Absolute life savers. Thankyou for giving us a chance to relax, a good laugh and well needed caffeine. :-)

Best place in Bournemouth for family fun

Fantastic afternoon with my grandson. Its a great place for children of all ages ( i'm 61). The time went so fast. It ticked all the boxes for social distancing, cleanliness, very helpful and friendly staff and fun. Everyone has to try it and they have discounts too. Can't wait to try the escape roon next time. Thanks to Olly for all his help today.

Huge thank you

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to the manager and staff for making my sons birthday party on the 6th Feb a huge success. We had a few issues with booking and changes and all sorts but you were so helpful and accommodating the children had a great time and my son had a great birthday. So I wanted to say a huge thankyou for all of your help !

Fantastic experience at Center VR

brilliant time at Centre VR with the family, 2 kids 8 and 11. Jungle a quest was amazing and just returned for Alice in Wonderland. such a great experience to do together. staff are helpful and friendly and go out of their way to assist. would really recommend. Amazing

Great selection of games

Very clean and staff extremely helpful and friendly. Great experience for kids 13th birthday.

A group of 14 yr olds!

The boys loved it, the team there were very organised. They explained the process and corrected any adjustments with the equipment promptly. We must have picked a quiet time as they added an extra game on the end for free, a great experience. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Staff, convenient location and a mind blowing gamer experience.

Was really not sure what to expect, but was treated to an hour of VR for my Birthday and I was really impressed with time I spent at Central VR. The staff were very welcoming, making sure to ask if we had been before, and told us what to expect. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. It blew my expectations of VR out of the water. It was immersive, difficult and extremely fun. I would recommend starting with this one, we loved it so much that we have booked onto the second one already and are excited about our return.

Really good fun for beginners and seasoned pro's alike

The game itself was amazing, as a fan of the game series it was a good fun alternative to the usual escape room setups. The puzzles were mildly challenging and this was made more fun (harder) by taking my girlfriend (non-gamer) along. We made it out with time to spare and had a thoroughly good time. A good experience for both seasoned escape roomers and newbies alike. The game does allow for 4 Will 10/10 return for another experience! As we both had ALOT of fun!

Not to be missed!

Bought for a 50th birthday present. Both first time visiting. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Amazing experience! Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing this! Definitely go again. Many thanks :-)

Great experience for the whole family

Well worth it!! We went with the whole family for my birthday to experience our first VR session. They all loved it. Definiately coming back. Many thanks to the patient crew looking after us. ****

Great family trip out!

Excellent experience, Very friendly staff and great coffee. Would highly recommend. We had a very nice family day out.

Coolest, yet weirdest thing

One of the coolest yet weirdest things I’ve ever done, would definitely come again, 100%, They should definitely keep all the games as I only played on a few but loved the ones that I played on out of the ‘Top 30’ selection.

Great Experience and fantastic staff

Absolutely loved the Hour spent here! Me and my partner came to do the 1hr mixed game slot, the staff we’re extremely helpful in helping us choose a game to play as two player together. The staff here (thank you Sam) really did go above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Equipment was all in great condition and there was a fantastic choice of games. I would definitely come back.

Excellent for teenagers

This was ideal - we booked the 90min VR experience where you can choose from multiple games. Prior to booking the team was helpful in advising which experience to book and also to use the half price tickets. On arrival the team advised and explained how to use the VR sets and were helpful throughout. The two teenagers were able to communicate throughout. Really good and the team are really helpful and ensure you get maximum fun out of your time.

Brilliant Birthday Experience

Really clean and spacious place. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff that managed my daughters birthday party really well, which was especially appreciated because the girls were all new to the experience. They had a cool time and we were very impressed. I’m looking forward to having a go myself next time! strongly recommend this activity for teen birthdays!

Extraordinary

Okay, disclosure. I am a woman in her 40s with no experience or, frankly, interest, in computer games. Even the fact that I would use the term computer game probably tells you all you need to know. My idea of using a computer for fun is Microsoft solitaire or Skyping my mum. I went to Centre VR with my partner and our 13 year old. We did the Prince of Persia game. I cannot remember the last time I had SO much unadulterated fun. It was amazing. The controls were easy to master even for such an ingenue and the puzzles genuinely puzzling. We didn’t finish the whole mystery and changed the rest of our holiday plans to go back and have another go. SO much fun. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

A bit hesitant at first, but...

I bought a voucher for my partner to play the Assassin’s Creed VR Escape Room as my partner enjoys the Xbox game. Neither of us had done VR before and were a bit hesitant at first but as soon as our headsets were on we honestly had such a great time! I can’t believe how immersive the games are and easy to use especially for someone like me who is awful and any sort of computer game! The staff were so helpful and it was a great experience, we’ll definitely return! 😊

We will be returning

We took a family aged 8 to 65. The 8 year old was taken to a special gaming area and played angry birds close to us but she was so occupied we had almost forgotten all about her. The rest of us played the Survive Together Desert Island survival game. It was a team game and was very professionally managed. The hour flew past and so Covid safe. Sam on the day looked after us and I can honestly say very professional and welcoming, thanks to Roman also who was very helpful and thorough on our first phone call. The whole team at Bournemouth VR should be proud of what they have achieved. Well done to them all, we will certainly be returning on one of their special returning deals.’

Awesome!!

We visited with our 14 year old grandson for the 90 minute gaming experience where he could select from an array of games to play during that time. He described the experience as "awesome" and would love to go on a regular basis if it were nearer his home. This was the best 90 minutes of a 3 day break for him. He described it to mates on his phone as "totally amazing." The staff were very friendly and helped you if required. During our time there we watched several families and friends participating in other games. Everyone in the centre seemed to be having a great, fun-filled time whatever activity they were doing. All in all, a definite destination in Bournemouth for VR fans of all ages. Great!

Highly recommended! Mind blowing experience

Absolutely amazing experience. Really recommend the Multi pass and playing Assassins creed origins! The staff are passionate about what they do, so so helpful and support you in navigating the VR experience. I wish I had more time in Bournemouth to have gone back again!

Unique Group Activity

Completed one of the VR Escape Rooms (Prison) with friends in July 2021 and we all really enjoyed our experience. Had a fantastic time and using VR was a completely new experience for some of the group so we were all a bit blown away by it! Had some initial teething issues setting up the game but were quickly fixed by staff who were friendly, professional and helpful. Although a bit pricey, I would recommend for a unique group experience. Looking forward to trying the other themed escape room games in the near future!

Brilliant Fun

My son and I went for the first time last week. We were terrible at it, but with enormous patience and support from the excellent team, they got us going and we had a real blast. Great graphics and super challenge. Thank you

Good Family Fun

It is a well run operation, lots of room, attentive staff and decent kit. We went as a family, Mum, Dad and 2 girls aged 9 and 11 and had a great time.

Birthday Party

Today my son had an amazing birthday party at Centre VR. Him and his 9 friends had a brilliant time. Now normally food at parties is cheap- squash, cheap crisps etc… not here! It was “boys help yourself to any branded drink from chiller, here’s your hot-dog.. help yourself to any branded bag of crisps… now go and help yourself to any ice cream from the freezer!” Just brilliant. Thank you Centre VR for such a chilled out, easy party! Highly recommended! 👍👍

Great fun for all the family.

We all loved it. Definitely coming back for more.

Perfect day out.

We went for my daughters 13th birthday. The team couldn’t have been more helpful. Plenty of social distancing and lots of teenage competitiveness. Give yourself a few hours there. You’ll be glad if it. Definitely coming back. Thanks to the team for all your help. The kids really enjoyed themselves.

Super futuristic!

Took my daughter and a friend to try this VR place. I thought it would be cool, and it was SERIOUSLY cool, but what happily impressed me further was the wonderful staff. They were really good with the children and very helpful in assisting us. One young lad was so enthusiastic he's basically sold me the idea of getting a home kit. Clean, totally futuristic, and fun. Brilliant.

Fantastic fun

Came here with our two sons aged 10 and 12. We started using the virtual ride machine at the entrance which they both enjoyed. They the did one and a half hours be together. We could see all that was going on via big screens from the seating area and could also see the children. The thing that made it even better was the help and support given to us by Jamie and Sam. Very supportive very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and happy to do whatever the children needed to enhance this experience. An absolute joy to talk to them both can’t express enough how helpful they were and we will definitely come back

Absolutely amazing!!

We visited the Centre VR as a large group - family of 4 x 2 Both families played against each other which made it so much fun. Its VR but it feels so real!! The graphics / CGI is so good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again when in Bournemouth and I would recommend it.

Amanda Recommends Centre VR

We went to vr today for my sons birthday. It was fantastic, the team were so helpful and the vr amazing. My son said it was the best birthday ever. Definitely recommend!

Great games and excellent staff

"So much fun was had by all 3 boys and myself and boyfriend who enjoyed watching them. We are definitely returning in the summer holidays so I can play as well. See you very soon for more fun. And thanks for making ollies birthday treat such a good one ."

Awesome experience

Awesome experience at the VR Center my kids are planning their parties here!!! staff were so helpful even though it was busy even gave us a voucher as a tech issue stopped play for some time. I would highly recommend x

Survival island virtual game.

Staff very friendly. Two teenage boys loved it and want to go back soon. Played as a team can hear each other was great family fun.

SUPER fun

"Me and my mate and his nipper only got to play Tower Tag, but it was really good fun. Highly recommended, especially to those who've not experienced the wonder of stepping into the modern virtual world yet."

Absolutely amazing!

"The whale encounter and coral reef I did do were gorgeous though. Staff is friendly and professional. They help you the whole time if you need it. It's clean and spacious- we're definitely going back."

Awesome fun

"We had a 15 minute game of laser tag and loved it! It’s something you have to try, watching other people play doesn’t look fun until you try it for yourself."

Great experience

"Thought it was great - lots of space for gamers and also a PC area as well. Snack and hot drink machines as well as a kitchen area, party room and toilets. Would definitely recommend it"

Great Fun

5 mates, 1 hour and a lot of laughs. This is great fun is you like having fun and want to experience gaming in a different way. You don't need to be a gaming geek or pro player as this is perfect for all levels. Highly recommended. 1 hour just wasn't enough.

My son’s 11th birthday party

Centre VR is a great place for a party. The children thoroughly enjoy it and there’s plenty of seating for the adults. A party room is provided too, where you can order in your own food. Highly recommend Centre VR. Tim and Charlie are very helpful.

Fantastic birthday event for my son’s 12th birthday

Centre VR could not have been any more helpful and accommodating. It was my youngest son’s birthday and from the moment we arrived till when we left, the staff were friendly and supportive. Even for me! The staff explained how everything works, obviously the kids took to it straight away! I however, took a bit longer to master, the staff helped the technophobe (me), and I was enjoying the catalogue of available games within 5 minutes. I was the last person to down the headset and controllers at the end of our session! Didn’t want it to stop. Visit again?? Hell yeah!

Birthday Party

Took 7 boys here yesterday for my son's 13th birthday and they all got do everything and loved it all , they would all 100% recommend TOWER TAG �

Great family fun

6 of us took part in the survival game for our son’s 18th birthday. Ages 42-11 we all had a fantastic time! It was pretty simple to get used to the controls and we all really enjoyed the game (despite only getting 89% through- we were soooo close!). We also had a go on the VR rollercoasters, they were great too! We will definitely be back!

The Best Time

My son and I had the BEST time at Centre VR yesterday, and as it was a bit quieter when our hour was due to end, they were very kind and generous in letting us play for longer (without interrupting our play either). I ended up playing longer than the 11 year old!! 😂 Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back 👍👍

Brilliant great fun

As 3 adult females and a 16 year girls we spent and hour on a VR Escape game. The staff were professional and helpful throughout. It was thoroughly enjoyable and can't wait to go again.

Excellent Place

Excellent place staff really friendly and kiddy friendly and patient an so helpful and my kids had a lovely time 😃 I even enjoyed it shooting an blowing stuff up and I’m old. Great fun for all ages 😃😃😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 definitely worth going and we would go again. thank you very much for the experience

Friendly team

Had my sons 10th birthday party at Centre VR, team were so friendly and helpful with the booking. Kids had a amazing time and everything was well explained . Free party room and lovely space

Engaging and Helpful Staff

The staff were engaging and helpful, there were a plethora of games options, our girls were laughing and enjoyed pitting their wits against each other and the environment is very relaxing. We highly recommend and shall be back!!!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Totally Amazing

"Had the pleasure of meeting the staff, a wonderfully bright and knowledgeable team, they helped me to understand the games as this was my first time using a VR system. Totally and a fantastic time had by all in my group."

Christmas present for Dad and son

We had the best time all together at Centre VR. From booking the staff even on the phone were so helpful and gave us a great special offer on the Assassin's Creed game. When we arrived again all the staff were so friendly. My husband didn't know the game all that well but he and our older son soon got the hang of it and very vocally together had a great time. It was so funny to watch them climbing and risking their lives in the game. You can sit and watch both what they're doing on the screen and them. They finished the game before the session was up so the staff let our daughters have a go. They absolutely loved it. One went under the sea which she loved and the other became a virtual Santa. It's a really lovely atmosphere in the place as each of the staff get very involved and you quickly feel relaxed. We can't wait to go again.

Fantastic Fun

We visited with my partners nephew and there was so much for him to explore through the games and experiences there were to offer. We finished our session with a group tower game and for someone who’s never games before the team were so helpful with advice and very patient. We can’t wait to come back! Thankyou for such a lovely experience
