My son and I experienced virtual reality for the 1st time today at jump into the light and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were both friendly an attentive. I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.

Soooo!Pros: Super cute activity for couples or parents with kid(s). The staff were very helpful, the activities are fun and you can do them multiple times.Cons: So there are roughly 5 individual immersion VR activities there with multiple games on them. However, one of them was sort of buggy and another one was broken during our visit. So $30 seems like a lot for that to be the case. However, the activities that were functional were lots of fun. If youre big (like me) you wont be able to do each one, maybe 2 of the 5, just a heads up.Although my cons side seems longer I went for the kids aged 9, 10, and 9 respectively, and they had a blast. I would definitely suggest this place to a friend for a quick outing. I wouldnt say plan your whole day around it because if it isnt too crowded then you can go on each experience twice and still roughly only hit two hours. But if it is crowded, expect a wait.

Yes its amazing, staff is wonderful. But the racing game is too sensitive. Needs to be modified or fixed. Yes there are many fun games. I do recommend this place as there are many places you can eat at in the area. But with the technology, small management and upkeep needs to be done more often. Speakers in the set didnt work in one ear........ Otherwise a solid fun place to experience VR

This is a great place if youre into gaming and can handle to mind body disconnect that happens with some of these games (moving ones). But they have games to have fun. We liked Saber Beat...

The place is a disaster. The equipment is literally being held together by tape! Seriously, the head phone piece of the headset I used was dangling off, held together by electrical tape. Additionally, one of the hand controllers didn’t work and I was simply told to just use one. What?!? For $1 per minute, or $10 for one ten minute session, I expect to have a fully working setup.Which brings me to the people running this place. I assume they were hired because they’re gamers or really love this tech. However, they are the stereotype of young people who have spent the majority of their adult lives in mom’s basement playing make believe. They have absolutely no people, let alone sales or management skills. It makes for a chaotic and anxious experience where everyone is awkwardly fumbling about with broken tech and there’s no operational order.If this place in still in business in three months I would be surprised. They desperately need some people with basic business skills.

Great place, perfect to go with small groups. Good customer service, Im not tech savvy, received feedback through the whole gaming experience and game suggestions custom to my preferences.You can buy a day pass and leave and return as you want through the day, or if you want to just try the virtual reality experience buy 10 minutes of gaming. Will definitely come back!

This place is on a totally different level. Be prepared for the initial shock if you’ve never tried anything in virtual reality, but with the friendly staff to help you out, you could literally spend hours at this place. The experiences are out of this world. I take all my friends here and highly recommend Tilt brush, Beat Saber, and Arizona Sunshine

Had a great time and they were getting ready to close early but stayed to accommodate us. Even though it wasnt long I appreciated the fact they stayed. They have alot of games and different VR and AR things to do. I will be going back again soon

Love this place! They have a vast array of virtual reality games that are so fun to play! My favorite game that they have is beat saber.In terms of the space, the place itself is located in such a nice area where there are bars and lots of restaurants. Its such an awesome place to go to after youve eaten out with your family or friends.They also have green screens you can rent out for things like music videos and you can also rent out the whole space itself for birthday parties or corporate events!As for the staff, they are very kind and highly informed in all of the games. They are very willing to help you out especially if you are new to VR.All in all, I highly recommend people to visit because it is great for both adults and kids!

If you like video games and have never played VR, this is your place. Great for kids and adults. Childrens Parties and company meetings. I havent had this much fun in a whileWorth it just for the John Wick Chronicles

Best VR arcade Ive ever been to; which isnt saying much considering Ive never been to one! What I do know is that the workers are very welcoming and helpful, and the games are almost all fantastic. There is something for everyone here, and all for a fair price!

Kids had a great time, and a perfect way to try out vr gaming.

Equipment is gnarly with no discernible sound because headphones were broken. I honestly dont get the good ratings. Are they packing these reviews? $10 for one game, $30 for all day. What if I just want an hour? The staff was friendly, so this place gets an extra star.

They are exactly what the name says. They are indeed a VR place. Cool games, cant wait when they have more games. My friend had a blast here and the price was pretty good. ($30 for an all day pass). As far as the games are concerned, they have a cool selection. Hard to explain much since I dont know what to call them but for sure, youll have fun here.

My first time doing any VR and we had an awesome experience at Jump Into the Light. SHAM and the rest of the staff was great! Walking the plank was by far the weirdest and closest feeling to realty experience.

Its one a few places to challenge your imagination and brings fun to it.

If you love technology or are feeling adventurous to try a new virtual experience, then call an uber and go there now. if your lucky, youll have Jeff as your tour guide and really get the full experience.

A worker named Feliz was great to talk to and learn about all the games there. Very fun experience. Worth going

This place is pretty cool, lots of different types of VR games to play. Definitely worth stopping by. Staff are really helpful and friendly

YOUVE GOT TO TRY THIS PLACE! I got lost in the sauce here because it was so much fun! Be prepared to want to spend hours and hours here! The staff is friendly and helpful and theres a great variety of things to do.

Awesome time. I took my 2 sons (10 y/o & 11 y/o) & had blast. We got there at 1pm and left at 730pm, only because I was hungry. If it were for them, we would have never left. I, myself had a great time as well. I played almost as much as they did.All the staff members were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back, soon.

I had so much fun at this place!!! I was actually curious to see what it would be like since I’ve never actually experienced virtual reality before. I was kind of nervous coming in but the staff was so helpful and nice and even though I came alone I had a great time. Staff helps you with setting up the VR goggles and other equipment. They really made the effort of making the experience so worth it. Everything worked the way it was supposed to and the games they had for you to play were so much fun! I found myself laughing during each game I played. It really feels like a different world. I’d recommend this place for anyone looking to get away for a while! This would make for the perfect date, fun time with friends or just go by yourself like I did and have fun! I would seriously go again! I wish I had known about this place sooner!!! So much fun.

A fantastic experience. Definitely good for a day of fun. Their $30 day pass is definitely the best value. The employees were friendly and helpful and the VR was awesome. I HIGHLY Recommend.

Every time I go they have a new game!!! Been there 4 times, my little brothers like it but I think I like it more than them.

Great Futuristic Virtual Playground. Staff is Awesome and a Whole Lot of Different Games and Virtual Rides.

Awesome place to chill and VR or setup a party. As well as having HTC Vive games setup they also have a few fun extras including a parachute setup that you actually strap in to and control your landing with straps you pull on.

Extremely disappointed. Ill maintained and understaffed. Equipment was very disappointing. Definitely not a place where you could probably spend more than an hour. All day pass is a joke.

A cool spot to try out Virtual Reality for fun. $30 all day pass has access to several games and experiences. Staff were very friendly to help out to explain to get the most out of it. Family friendly, fun, and good value to try out.

The new form of immersive and experiential art form is here. Whether you are just coming to check out virtual reality for the first time or if you want to have a unique 4D VR experience (which adds extra reality to the physical senses), check it out! I know that they are currently building a 4D/AR seance experience with a real room and props, etc. Im really excited to check it out!! The founders are passionate about the technology and its potential and very open to collaboration with artists. I cant wait to go back on my next visit!!!!

Besides catching all the action pact virtual fun on a busy Passover holiday, the experience was captivating! My kids, ages 13 and 7 years were excited and entranced by the manipulative environments. From virtual painting, driving, shooting, fruit ninja slicing and rock climbing; the staff was very helpful and patient throughout the whole experience. Would definitely recommend to all who are seeking to have an out of the norm, reality feel to gaming. Highly recommended for group outings amongst kids!

There is so MUCH about this space that a tiny revuew cant do it justice. Ill try. First, customer service is amazing. Everyone is helpful, courteous and just wants to make sure yiubhave an amazing time. Also, there is a wide variety of games. You want to paint, sure...go ahead! Want to skydive, go ahead! Roller coasters, car races, even Archery! All in 3D. And this is just a tip of the iceberg. Then there is an upstairs where you can host private events and there is usually a holiday themed exhibit. The place is rich with VR creativity. Go.

I liked it. Vr was fun. A fan while i was playing beatsaber wouldve been nice tho

I choose this spot over others for the sky diving, but the image of the ground was completely still, unshaking, while you really slowly and almost imperceptibly zoomed in, with the option to move left or right. Just looked like zooming in on a map. If there was some simulated motion or if it was faster, I dont know... So the simulation wasnt worth it at all. I knocked off a star mostly because 3/4 of the motion seats that rock were broken and the movie graphics were really old and blurry. We just got nauseous from the blurriness. We also had too much trouble getting the game controls to work right in the main room, even when staff stepped in. We went right after 1pm on a weekday, it was quiet and only a couple of people.

My family had a great time .and we really appreciate Mr. Royal for his help and mannerism..

Very cool VR experience

Very fun for a good price. Wish I could have stayed longer.

This place is truly so awesome. My friends and I come here at least once a week for HOURS!Such a kind & supportive staff, highly recommend for people of all ages looking for some fun!

It was such a good place!The VR was nice and lot of fun and choices about the game.The staff was friendly and helpful

This is definitely a unique experience in NYC. I had tried VR a few times, but this is a one stop shop to experience all that the tech has to offer. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned VR pro, there is something for everyone. The staff and owners were also super friendly and happy to answer questions. Bring a couple friends here for a few hours and watch them blow their minds!!

Very fun there are many options that are just getting added based on my first and last time plus Im even planning on going again as a result of their options and the fun I had the place isnt the largest but sufficient size for the equipment and to enjoy yourself

The kids had a great time. The stuff are very friendly with a lot of patience. Will be back again

This place is the testing ground for the future. The owners, Michael, Sky, and Mehow are extremely knowledgable in the VR industry and across many technological platforms that influence and advance the current state of VR. The space is a great lab with tons of equipment to try out the cutting edge of VR tech. Great place to show up after the bar (heard theres a discount if you present the Mr. Purple entrance stamp) or a date spot.Lastly, the store offers a bunch of workshops in many VR and adjacent platforms. A great place for someone to further their tech knowledge and break into the industry.tl:dr -Place is sick, show up after the bar and hang with an oculus rift. Feels like chilling at a friends place, the really rich one whos dad bought him a VR set.

Awesome experience. I took my son here and he loved the place. Kid friendly and they are super helpful and accommodating. Will definitely come back not only for myself but will bring my son again.

It was Excellent. They have a great space. Michael was so accommodating and thank you for having #Hellohi and thank you for making the Costumes glow in the dark

The place is really good with some awesome tech gadgets giving you a mesmerizing VR experience. Totally worth it. Do carry water and food so that you can play whole day

Awesome people, great games! Glad they put rock climbing back on!

Staff is patient albeit overwhelmed a bit. Great selection of games and the Internet is generally ok with some technical difficulties. They have a green screen you can rent if you wanted to film yourself playing.

This evening my friend went to JUMP INTO THE LIGHT through our neon coat app. When we go in the man at the front desk looks at me and says,”We don’t do plus ones”. Neon coat is an app for models and influencers that are signed to an agency. I am signed to three modeling agencies and my friend is with one in nyc as well. Moral of the story not only did we feel unwelcome in the space, but we felt disrespected.

Me and my girlfriend came in out of interest walking by, we spoke to an awesome guy (whos name escaped both of us) who was nice enough to explain to us how everything worked and what they were all about, even though they were booked out for an event. We told him that it was our last night in new york and next time and wed have to return next time were in town. It was then incredibly heartwarming of him to still manage to squeeze us in for 10-20 mins to let us into the vr of Google maps and VR drawing which was an experience out of this world (literally could draw rainbows in space).I would highly recommend this place to the people passing by or even the local that wants to have a fun and unique experience. I will definitely return when back in town!

The staff is great and super helpful. For $30 you can spend the whole day and do all the experiences. They have a good selection of games and a few different vr headsets.The backroom has 6 stations and it wasnt busy when we went.My friend and I did coop game of Quiver (use bow to shoot monsters) and it was a lot of fun. You will get a little sweaty.

Amazeballs! I havent had so much fun since I was 5 years old. The stuff was super nice and knowledgeable. I experienced many different types of virtual reality and got an ultimate 3D selfie which was the best!Came back again with my friends

Like most VR places this shop is plagued by computer issues and staff that doesnt really care to thoroughly troubleshoot errors when they happen. They dont fully train new users on how to use the controlls and play the music way too loud so its difficult to get immersed in a game youre playing because you can hardly hear it. Controllers dont work half the time and lots of games on the steam store arent purchased. Great potential but its just so badly run I probably wouldnt come back.

Totally cool. Super nice people!

This place is super fun! Helpful and friendly staff who also develop new VR games in their studio upstairs. Great for kids and adults. Sounds lame, but 100% recommend the job simulator game where you do menial tasks like cooking food or making photocopies. Swear to JC it’s so fun. Had a blast!

An awesome place for a cool & entertaining VR experience. Great for family or friends. Super amazing & helpful staff ready to get you started whether youre a newbie or not to VR. Cant wait to come back.

I had a great time. I didnt get to play all of the games. But I enjoyed the little I had there. The staff are friendly too.The zombie game I played was surreal and scary. It had my Heart beat racing . Would play it again!

Went for my birthday and honestly would never go back. This place would have been good if not for horrible employees. My girlfriend and I paid for an hour each, however, it was more like 20 minutes. they had us sharing one headset but did not give us more time. We paid for two but were treated as if we paid for one. We had little to no instruction and were generally ignored as an employee spent the whole time flirting with another customer. She got much more time than she should have while we were kept waiting and sharing a headset. I knew enough about VR that I did romeos job for him and walked my girlfriend through it all. (he was clearly preoccupied) Essentially, the second slot we paid for went to a random stranger that the staff member got to flirt with the entire time. Asked her and she told me she bought an hour. When we had gotten there she was already over 20 minutes in as she was done with the first station. When we left she was still going, we got the boot AT the hour mark (I figured they would at least give us extra time considering we got half the experience.) At least somebody had a good time. Never again.

Great experience I went for date night with my wife. The only problem is staff needs to walk you through . You find your self walking around not know what to sign up for that there is a sign up... some members of staff are on the phone not really paying attention to you... the idea is great.. place probably need a manager

Best experience ever! This is absolutely a place to check out with friends or on a date. I did a zombie VR experience and I had THE BEST TIME. An inexpensive way to have a great time in NYC.

Nicest staff ever! Thank you for being so helpful and kind!

Awesome place, tons of fun, great courteous staff. They have lots of interactive virtual reality games.

Place has a cool atmosphere and aesthetic but, I only saw three people working here.

I love it!! Specially the dancing game (I cant recall the name, lol) Also, the staff was super helpful and patient.Highly recommend it :)

I love jump into the light. It’s an immersive experience that affects all your senses as you play there many vr games that they offer. My favorite one is tilt brush. As an artist it gives me the freedom to paint in a fun environment in 3d. I highly recommend tilt brush and jump into the light to artists and non artists. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.

It is very fun. I had a great time plus it is kinda cheap

VR Skydiving on a Saturday Night in NYC!!! One word...Amazing!! This place is worth the price and the staff was very friendly...I can’t wait to come back.

Awesome venue for a group of people to get together and have a really fun time. Staff are really friendly, atmosphere is relaxed. Games are fun, but its a great experience to share with friends !!

Came on a Saturday night for a date wanted to try something other than dinner or a movie and got a great experience here... will have to come again with the guys... they also had a cool live band playing so got a good money’s worthNo crazy wait timesAnd staff was very helpful

Jump into the Light will blow your mind! The whole experience is cutting edge - it is like stepping into a whole different world. And the friendly staff are there to guide you the whole way. Between the cinema, gaming experiences, and art exhibitions, there is something for everyone.If you have ever been curious about virtual reality, this is the place for you. Highly recommend stopping in to explore and play!

It was a fun experience but it seemed like every other machine wasnt working. I recommend going early because it does fill up with a random party so it gets crowded

The place seemed really cool but me and my wife were not allowed inside because they were full of kids. We went at 1PM on a Wednesday assuming that it wouldnt be too busy with school still not but that wasnt the case.

Very cool place, jumping into thw future. Try it out you will have fun

Absolutely fantastic; extremely friendly staff and the gaming experience was truly one of a kind (at least for me since its the first time I play in VR). Recommend any gamer to try at least one time.

I went here on June 30th to celebrate my birthday, while my girlfriend was on the boxing game I saw an employee (Shaw) Trying to video up my girlfriends dress. I’m still wondering if I should get him arrested.After reading my review someone from the company contacted me and offered me $40 worth of free games for an employee videoing up my girlfriends skirt

Great service. If something goes wrong with your VR system, the employees will make sure to fix it.

Went with my girls last night for fun and bought the all day pass. We sucked at most the games but it was fun any way and the staff was really nice and patient when dealing with us haha. Loved the music playlist and vibe of the place. Didnt feel rushed or waited too long to play the games.

Amazing place! Loved the flying experience and the archery. Must visit! Dont know how time flies here so be ready to spend hrs:)

The music/VR exhibit upstairs in the back is really wonderful.

Always enjoy going to this place! Great staff who is willing to help you and fantastic experience!

Had a great time. Only wish they had a better approach to getting customers comfortable with all the set ups they had. Kinda just walked in like lost puppies

That was quite the experience! There are a number of great games to try. The rock climbing one was so realistic I almost threw up. Ahaha, have a great time!

Had a great time. My favorite game was the super hot. The zombie game was a close second. Plenty of games and choices.

We had a super awesome time at this place.! First time doing virtual reality other than at home and I can say everyone should stop by .! The service was wonderful and the games were just as good.

The staff is nice although sometimes they can hover too much when Id rather be left alone to figure out the controls and game on my own. The games are limited but could be worth it as a first experience with VR if you absolutely cant experience it anywhere else. My poor rating is mostly because all of the headsets have a very bad smell from people wearing them all the time and it was nauseating to have to smell it while playing. Will definitely never return since I cant stand the smell.

LOVE this place! Really cool technology and cool knowledgable people around. Devleoper Tuesdays are really cool because of all the creative people and projects everyone works on - I try to come to these whenever I can. One of my favorite spots in NY for sure.

I was extremely satisfied with my experiences at Jump Into The Light. They have a great variety of experiences. Make sure to check out “The Plank”.

Awesome experience. Everyone is very patient and helpful. Really cool technology as well

Awesome people working in there. Relaxed and comfortable place to game. Great selection of VR content too!

Had a fantastic time. Jay was fantastic and very helpful. Kids would luv this place.

Jump into the light is a really great VR experience, the games had me believing it was real for a second or two . You really can’t beat the prices, it’s a great experience and the employees are helpful and the whole vibe of the place is a lot of fun I’d for sure recommend it to anyone who likes VR or even anyone trying it for the first time

I went here with a friend for the virtual skydiving experience and had a great time! I would highly recommend one of the virtual action games!

Great place. Staff so helpful with equipment. Inexpensive and worth the 30 for unlimited.

I took my Mom here to enjoy some Skydiving via VIRTUAL REALITY. She also fought zombies! Thanks Dominic, Justin and Primo

Ive lived in NYC for nearly 7 years now so Ive basically done it all here. With that being said, Jump Into The Light is one of the best experiences Ive ever had and continue to have. The guys who run this are extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. Painting with their google Tilt Brush in Virtual Reality is absolutely amazing. Ive worked with them on a professional level, and as well brought my friends/clients to their Lower East Side location on multiple occasions. Everyone I bring says its an absolutely surreal experience. Its a really cool atmosphere and I always walk out with the biggest smile on my face. My friends and I usually go right next door to The rooftop bar Mr. Purple right afterwards. No matter if youre visiting, or a local to NYC I highly recommend dropping by and getting your VR on!!!!!

The concept is great and they are one of the first VR arcades, but it could use a lot of refinement. Its still a really fun experience as-is!

Ok. Not great. Using consumer level products you can purchase on Amazon. Good selection of games.

The line system does not work when the parents cant control their children. I will not be coming back with my children. It was a bad experience I walked away feeling like I didnt get my moneys worth

Allll the fun every time! The entire staff is very hospitable

Amazing technology and knowledgable staff! A must visit for VR connoisseurs and amateurs alike.

Great variety of VR games. Great service. Convenient location in NYC. Knowledgeable staff
