First time with VR but won't be my last time. 100% recommended family activity.
Went for my daughters birthday and was absolutely brilliant. Fun, exciting and even thrilling at times. Johnny was clear with instructions for the kids, also very laid back and approachable when they had questions. 100% recommended family activity for any age

Great time for all ages.
The VRVE exeter seems to be the only place our kids want to go for their birthday! Going back again for the eldest's very soon. Great choice of games, fab party hosts and kids and adults always have a blast. Summer parties you can even have a picnic up of the grass. Highly recommend

VIRTUAL FUN
Really enjoyed our session, with good direction from our instructor. Just not nearly enough time, as we were getting the hang of it and getting braver it was time to finish up. Hope to go again and try some other experiences.

Fabulous fun for the whole family. Exeter is lucky to have this place. Took my 3 sons 8, 11 and 13. My first time but 2 of my sons had been before for a birthday and loved it. The chap was friendly and welcoming. The studio was cool (it was a hot day) and spacious for all of us. There was so much to keep us entertained, shoot em ups and Among Us for the boys and rollercoaster rides and interactive nature to name a couple of games … thoroughly recommended for everyone 😊

Great fun!
Fabulous time at VRVE exeter. Host Jez was brilliant, prompt start, quickly went through tutorials, recommended games and challenges for us to do multiplayer. Maximised playing time and we all had great fun. I would recommend asking the host to take some photos/ videos whilst the group is playing!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went with six kids this afternoon who all had a great time. It's very well organised and a great hour out.

So much more immersive than I thought

Sep 2022 • Friends

Jonny was absolutely great with our party booking of 8 people, with a mix of some that have done VR and others that had not.
Great set up and good selection of games. Jonny and Ollie were always on hand to answer questions and give help if necessary.
Really really fun especially in a big group 100% would recommend to anyone. 10/10.

My 13yr old son came with 3 friends and all 4 boys thoroughly enjoyed it! The owner was very welcoming and the studio was clean and tidy. We will definitely visit again. Thanks.

Great experience!

Aug 2022 • Family

Came here yesterday and the whole experience was amazing! We came as a family of 5. I'm not a big gamer myself so was a bit hesitant but I had such a great time we are talking about doing it again already! Great instructions given and great fun! The kids loved it! Thankyou!
