Super friendly and helpful staff, clean w/ plenty of COVID accommodations, extremely reasonable prices ($10 half-hour add-on is a great deal), lots of great games to play. Tried it on a whim and I had to come back within a day or two - its that good. Definitely coming back in the future.

This place was AMAZING!!! I booked an hour for my sons B-day, showed up at the wrong time and they squeezed us in anyways. After watching the kids for a half hour I just HAD to try it myself and I was blown away at how fun and immersive it was!! We cant wait to go back!!

This place is fantastic! Perfect for anyone from aged 7 to adults. My kids 7, 10 and 17 all loved it and had a blast. They were super patient and accommodating with and were always readily available to help. Also, super clean and dedicated rooms for parties. Well be back and cant wait to bring friends.

Sooo much fun for both kids and adults! They have a variety of games from adventure to sports to, yes, combat (which always seems to be my sons favorite). It takes a few minutes to get accustomed to the controls so the staff is very attentive. Very clean and they make sure to wipe-down/sterilize headsets between users.We first discovered Amped Reality at Grand Con and our son fell in love. When it came time to determine what he wanted to do for his birthday with 3-4 friends, this was at the top of his list by far. We checked it out beforehand; the staff was very helpful and engaged with my son quite a bit since we came during their slow period. They let me try it as well...what a blast (walking that plank is harder than you think). We didnt have enough people to justify purchasing the full-on birthday package, so we decided to give our son the basic membership which means hes always 50% off and he could have 4 friends at 50% off an hour. We know well be back several times, so it made total sense. We were able to rent the party room and they even ordered Pizza from Palermos for us.While the hourly rental rate is high compared to some other entertainment places, when you think about all the equipment costs, it makes sense. The experience is quite unique and definitely worth the $$.

Our boys love Amped Reality, they learn alot and feel right at home! They learn coding, play legos, and of course love the VR! We try to find as much as we can!

Awesome layout, not crowded at all. Attentive staff, and great service. 10/10, would highly recommend! Not too kiddie, either. I brought three of my friends and they had a blast. Would definitely work for date night.

The staff was attentive in guiding you through the experience of this up and coming medium, they started me and my friends off with some sit down experiences to help us understand how it all works before moving my friends and I to more active and standing games. The area was spacious and a employee was never too far away if you had a question. A great time for friends and family!

I almost don’t want to let on how awesome this place is so that I can keep it as my little secret. We first went as a family and had SO MUCH FUN playing all these games together! The staff members were extremely kind and helpful and would proactively come over when they saw I needed help.Have visited since bringing my 10y/o son with his friends. He asks to go back every chance he gets! It’s the perfect place to spend a cold or rainy day, or have fun with friends.

Excellent arcade entertainment center with plenty of headsets for the whole family to get lost in. Id played VR before, but my brother and father hadnt, and they quickly grasped the setup and the controls. The three of us traded off the two headsets, swimming with sharks, throwing daggers at robots, and slashing blocks to a thumping rhythm. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Our first time going was for my stepdaughter bday. It was very fun and & in bday girl words hypnotizing. Downside, $30 for 1 hour seemed a bit too steep. We showed up during a party so when we wanted to exit our group play we had to wait for a bit, there was also only one attendant available and it took a bit of time from our 1 hour session. It was a bummer, especially knowing we had to wait while our play time continued to be timed. Other than that, amazing experience.

What a fantastic idea. We were planning on purchasing a VR headset but were uncommitted on how often we would use it. Its nice to have a place like this in town where you can just rent it and have access to all of the equipment and games. I would recommend trying this place out if youve never tried VR.

Our kids had a fantastic time here. It seems like the best age for this is middle or maybe high school but our 9yr old had fun too. There is a stand up area and an area where you can sit with VR headsets. We were only in the standing area so its possible the seated area has more adult themed entertainment.There are large displays that let you view what the player sees so you can take turns and still participate.Theres a small drink and snack area and omfortable seating for non-participants.

I took my 10 year old to Amped Reality, not expecting to get too into because VR is totally his thing. Needless to say, I ended up playing almost the whole time we were there and time flew by. We had so much fun! The owner is amazingly kind and helpful. It was a really fun atmosphere and I think we will make it a regular place to go when we do things together. My son also wants to bring his friends to play. I cant recommend Amped Reality enough!

The staff are very friendly from start to finish and they take care of you during your gameplay. The arcade is clean and well maintained. The headset and controllers are really intuitive, small glitches here and there but thats to be expected with such new technology. Overall I consider them quite the worthwhile experience and I look forward to returning often to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and immersive VR experience.

I saw an ad for birthday parties at Amped Reality. I was hesitant because I am not a fan of video games and screen time. However, their robot build parties looked fun. I scheduled my sons 8th birthday party with Greg, the very kind and attentive owner.We arrived to an extremely clean and organized facility with great party rooms and decor. They made it so easy on us. Trevor was our party host. He was so patient with the kids and helped them all build super fun robots. He even allowed them to decorate boxes to take home their robots. We had the use of a nice room for snacks and gifts.I brought my 14yo son and two of his friends. They used the VR systems for an a hour during the party. I watched closely as they navigated the games. I never saw anything violent or concerning. The boys really enjoyed the VR experience and it was entertaining to watch. I also liked that there were windows from the party room so that I could keep an eye on everyone.All-in-all, it was a fun, affordable, organized party. Everyone had a great time and we will definitely go back.
