This was an amazing experience! Had a blast and would do this again!

  I initially saw Zion Virtual Reality through reviewers on Yelp. I've been wanting to try VR myself for a very long time, and I finally booked an appointment! It was... read more incredibly worth it! I think the experience can be enjoyed by both seasoned gamers and non-gamers.

I booked a reservation online, you must also pay online too to complete the reservation. Booking online was pretty straightforward and easy, and you get sent a confirmation e-mail.

Zion VR is located across from REI and on the other side of Costco (right where Costco gas is). Parking in front of Zion VR is a bit small, but even during the weekend we were still able to find a spot.

Before you start, you need to sign waivers and then you're ushered into your stations. I believe there are 9 different stations at Zion, each with its own VR headset. You're allowed to share a station with one other person, but you must alternate -- you can't both be using the VR headset at once. It really does not matter if your station is next to other people in your party. The staff will set up your headphones so that you can still be talking and listening to the other people in your party, and you are still able to play multiplayer games if you want to. After that, there is a brief tutorial on how to use the controls and then you're off! Zion has a vast array of games to play, which they categorize from easy into very hard difficulty. There are also multiplayer games, but you're not limited to play just one game. You can switch from game to game yourself using the controller.

For people who are not playing, there is a small waiting area in the front with a small selection of snacks and drinks to purchase. There are also small chairs in front of each station that you can sit on. There are monitors in front of each station so that non-players can see what the players are seeing.

I appreciate how after each station was used, Sean (who I think is the owner) wiped down the VR headsets and headphones with sanitizing wipes. He also kept watch on what/how everyone was playing, so that if a player got stuck, he talked to them through the headsets and gave them tips on what to do next. He was very friendly!

I would recommend reserving before you come here, especially if it's during the weekend. While it was about a third full when we arrived on a weekday, it was pretty full by the time we left. They only have 9 stations so a few families can easily fill the business up!

I think Zion has a really solid business going on here, and I was impressed by how well everything was run -- from the VR headsets and interface, through the use of the Discord voice client so that players can hear and talk with each other, and the cleanliness. It is admittedly a little expensive. However, actual HTC Vives are extremely expensive, and they have to maintain all the PCs running at each station as well. So I think the price is well worth it for a VR experience.

Even if you aren't a gamer, there are casual gamees you can play that can really show you how fun and realistic VR can feel. I strongly recommend it to anyone!!

  Took my girlfriend there. Had a really fun time. Staff is really helpful and accommodating

  Incredible first experience with VR! Thank you Shawn, Stephanie and Sin for assisting with our first VR Experience! Definitely the spot we'll be stopping by again with a bigger group.... read more Thanks Zion VR!!

  Had a great time with friends at Zion VR virtual arcade/space. There was space for 8 (separate bays) and overall everyone had fun. Sean and team were great and did... read more a good job of helping everyone with any issues they had including my 7-Yr old daughter. There's a ton of different types of VR games and different experiences to choose from, with Arizona Sunshine and Serious Sam being my favorites! They even have multiplayer, which was fun. Will definitely be back again.

If you've never experienced full VR before I definitely recommend you try it. It's an experience you just have to see for yourself.

  Awesome time here. Great staff and awesome 3d proformance. Games were bright and nonglichy. Go check it out!

  This was perfect if you haven't tried VR before. I was worried about the hand coordination but it was pretty spot on and they have a pretty cool survival game... read more that got us sweating in no time. Definitely should give this place a try because it'll be worth it. It's the future of gaming. Hopefully they add a game where you can use a full assault rifle like COD. Other than that it was an awesome experience. 4 rooms for 24 dollars each for an hour was a good deal.

  These guys are giving me hope that someday arcades may come back! Their VR setups are fantastic and emersive. They have a wide variety of games that has something for... read more everyone. They have arts and education, action, fps, multi-player, co-op, and of course several zombie options. I took my 7 year old son and he is already talking about having his birthday party there.

When you arrive the staff gives you a short tutorial and a look at some of the games, then they get you set up with the vr gear. Im a console gamer, so i don't know much about gaming pcs, but if looks matter they were running some high powered beasts. The VR setup is the HTC Vive I believe. The headsets were clean and comortable, and the audio was fantastic. Once the experience starts you lose track of the real world rather quickly!

You begin in a menu/lobby where you can browse, preview, and select the game you want to play. The staff can put you into parties so you can chat while you play, even across different games. It allowed me to keep in touch with my 7 year old and make sure he wasn't playing games out of his age range. The staff keeps a watchful eye as well and offering help and advice as needed. I know they were watching because I heard them laugh when i threw a rock at a nazi in a WWII game.

Overall it was a ton of fun, and we will certainly be back. The only thing they could improve on is just polishing the overall experience. They are a brand new business and haven't quite dialed in the flow quite yet.

5 stars for sure! I'm always nervous for new businesses but i hope these guys last because I want to go back!

  Shawn the owner manager is so kind, attentive and helpful during our gameplay. Prior to arriving, I called to check availability and prices, we then decided to go, so he... read more stated on the phone he will prep the stations for us. Spacious, clean atmosphere. Good vibe all around, very welcoming. I definitely recommend this cool VR gaming place to all Californians & outside visitors! Affordable reasonable prices. Tons of game selection. You'll love this place and become new friends with Shawn.

  Unbelievable till you try it. I'm HUGE into tech but to have such an absolutely professional setup available for prices that are SO much better than the 2,000$ to own... read more it yourself is amazing! Take your best friend, take your significant other, take your grandma and try this out. It is an absolute bucket-list item and is just insane!

  My husband and I went on a date here tonight and it was so much fun! I'm not really into video games but I thought my hubby would like it.... read more We both ended up liking it a lot. Definitely check this place out of you're looking for something to do. The guy (I think his name was Shawn) was very friendly too.

  Awesome experience and not just because of the virtual reality games but the staff is super helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend

  Dope! Super dope!! This place is amazing and a first of its kind for me. My girlfriend and I came in as first timers and the staff was super friendly... read more and patient. They gave us each a demo and walked us through everything. The equipment we used was the HTC Vive which are cleaned and sanitized after each use. They have a selection of VR games you can choose from which can be played solo or with a friend. My girlfriend and I chose to play a zombie apocalypse shooter which was super fun and very immersive! Overall this place is an amazing experience and the staff is very helpful and attendant. 10/10 play again!

  The kiddos had a blast. We showed up late (due to traffic) and was still allowed our hour we reserved and paid for. That was great customer service and we... read more will be back for more fun soon! Thank you

  Hello, my twins birthday today,made reservations on Saturday July 29. What a great place ,kids had a great time,very reasonable $$. Very clean,nice and cold environment,on a hot day in... read more Sac. CustomerService is outstanding! Anytime my kids want to come I will take them here. I'm very comfortable sitting on this couch watching Netflix. Just missing an adult beverage. Have a nice day.

  One word. AMAZING! I enjoyed the environment there and the space was nice and comfy, I liked how kind and helpful the employees were, everything was great and they had... read more a variety of games from multi-player to horror or just plain old fun. I would love to come back again and play some more virtual reality games here. Thanks for a great VR experience with the HTC Vive.

  Lots of fun! Loved playing dodgeball even though I was pretty terrible at it lol!

  So fun! I want to do it again! Can't wait to take my husband for date night.

  So when I'm not playing paintball, gambling my money away at the casino or watching the newest movie out this is where you will find me from now on. This... read more place is awesome! I went 2 days in a row the first day doing 2 hours straight then the next day 1 hour to show my uncle what he was missing. We all had fun! The coolest part about this VR place is you can connect up to 4 people when playing multiplayer( I believe you can connect up to 6 or everybody, in not sure but 4 I know for sure) Me and my brother and uncle were playing the fortress game and we met some awesome people online from the U.K! They have cold drinks and snacks, the owner and his wife and son (I believe) will help you with any problem you may have. They'll answer any question you may have and are super helpful!

Pros : this place is awesome! You'll have a great time single handedly going or go with a group to get a small discount.

Cons : there isn't any.

  So much fun. Definitely going with friend(s) makes it way cooler. Multiplayer games. Good hosts that will help you out. I would stay there all day if I could.

  A very nice family-owned virtual reality venue. The staff here seem to care about their business, and they offer decent prices for use of their equipment. Their headsets and controllers... read more seemed clean and working well.

This is also a great place for groups, as they have 8 Vive stations, set up with voice chat to each other and linked for multiplayer games.

Otherwise I don't have much to compare with, it was simply a nice place to be and a pleasant experience. I would most definitely recommend this place.

  The guy that owns this place is awesome! He is incredibly friendly and helpful. The Vr system is pretty good quality and the experience was great when we brought six... read more people. Highly recommend this place if you're trying to have some fun. A choice of about six or seven games you can play with six people, same for 4, 2, and solo. I think there was two games you could multiplayer with up to ten people. So much fun!!!

  This place is straight up awesome! Decided to come here to celebrate a birthday and I would say that it was a great choice! The owner of this spot (Shawn)... read more is just so welcoming and wants you to have the best experience, he would introduce you to the system and help you along the way as you try to navigate through the games. This place is great to come with friends as you are able to play with each other or even a birthday party! If you've never tried Virtual Reality yet and want a great first time experience, come here!!!

  Zion VR is amazing, I like that you can book an appointment online and when you come in you don't have to worry about the hassle. I would recommend bringing... read more family it's really fun to play multiplayer games. We can't wait to come back!

  i don't want to tell you why i gave zion vr 5 stars.
go see for yourself.
totally worth it.

  First, let me say I don't play video games. But I do have a husband and 2 boys who do and after stumbling on this place on yelp I figured... read more why not book some time as a birthday gift. We took four of the bays for an hour(2 adults,2 kids) and it was nothing less than amazing. We could talk to each other with the headsets so we started together picking out a multiplayer game and then as we all became more confidant with the controls and how to move back and forth through the menus we branched off to explore the other programs by ourselves but we can still hear and talk to each other. Occasionally, we'd run into an issue such as my husband unwittingly switching the controller to left hand mode and immediately the owners stepped in and helped us navigate. I didn't think there would be such a huge choice to explore but in the space of that hour I did the "kill everything that moves archery game" as described my son but also explored underwater(met a very large whale), took an elevator to the top of a high rise and tried to step out onto a plank(you'd think that would be easy) and a bunch of other programs that I didn't get to explore as much as I would have loved to because I was trying to get a taste of everything. Towards the end, I chanced on an Extra program that is actually the story of the Little Matchgirl ,animated but all around you in 3D and so charming that I finished up my time just watching the story. When we went for pizza afterwards we compared notes and all of us found completely different things for the hour so that tells you the variety they have. Very happy to have found a place that the entire family enjoys.

  I enjoyed coming here with my 2 teenagers.  It took a little getting used to but turned out pretty fun...especially in the multiplayer games. My only complaint? Time went by... read more too quickly!

  Great experience! I went here for a date night. Could not have gone better. I was able to communicate with my date via microphone. Worked surprisingly well.
I have been... read more curious about VR for a while. Thought I should give it some time before investing. After my experience using the Vive I can tell they are ahead of my expectations. Still going to wait a bit longer before I invest. This is a great place to hold me over till then.

  My family and I came here today! We had a blast! I'm so excited to come back! You must come here! It's out of this world! Sean is super cool... read more and helpful! My favorite game is with the zombies it's feels so real I couldn't help but scream and freak out at times! We will be coming back soon! VR is amazing! So happy this place exists!!!!! Seriously a great experience!

  The best VR place I've ever been too. Super friendly and fun. Great time for kids and adults. We highly recommend this place. My kids will be talking about it... read more for months.

  Best thing that's happened to Sacramento! Endless entertainment for the entire family. My sons look forward to going here every weekend. They even started behaving just so I'd take them... read more to Zion! Lol. Thank you Zion VR!!

The place is nice and clean with state of the art equipment. Sean, Stephanie, and Sinh are incredibly friendly and helpful. Booking is a breeze but they also take walk-in. I'd recommend booking online if you have a large group tho (i.e. Bachelor parties, birthday parties-for sure your kid will become the most popular kid in school!).

You really don't have to be a gamer to enjoy VR. If you just want to immerse yourself into another world for an hour, escape your crazy life, or enjoy pure entertainment give VR a try. Guarantee you won't regret it.

  This place is awesome. Friendly staff was always around to help if you got stuck or couldn't figure something out. Played co-op games with my hunny in another station and... read more it was really easy to coordinate moves. An hour goes by really fast, so if you're a gamer, you will not want to share your time. Will be back very soon.

  Zion Virtual Reality offers fully immersive VR experiences using the HTC Vive headsets. If you've never used the HTC Vive, it's pretty mind blowing. While not 100% photo realistic, the... read more images & sounds produced in the virtual environments, coupled with hand controllers for fully interacting with the environments, will quickly pull you in!

Your VR experience takes place in an empty bay (so you don't trip on anything while interacting in the VR) which is open on one side. The VR Headset is attached by wire to the ceiling above you, however you are able to freely move about within the space of the bay as you interact with whatever experience you have chosen.

Sessions are paid by the hour. As of this review it's $30 for one station for one hour. If you want to play with friends, there are additional discounts as you add additional bays (1 person per bay but able to interact together with your friends).

You aren't locked into just one game if you want to try several. Simply let the attendant know you want to try something else. An upgrade that is being developed will soon allow you to do this yourself within the VR environment.

The owner, Sean, and his assistant (a software engineer that designed the VR interface) were both very helpful, friendly and patient, taking time to answer questions and explain how it all works.

They do take walk-ins but the eight bays could fill quickly if a group drops-in. It's best to reserve a bay, either by phone or on-line, if you know when you will be going.

  This place is unique never came across any other place like this , I'd say the price is worth it because you can do plenty of activities in an hour.

  So much fun and well organized. Runs about $25 so it's relatively inexpensive and fun.

  I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday. Paid $55 for both of us and came close to paying more because we didn't want to leave! The VR equipment... read more was easy to handle and the staff knew right away when we needed help trying figure out something. I recommend this to everyone, even children. There were many games to choose from and they were categorized by their difficulty. If you have a weak stomach, look out for the zombie games and plank games. They also had multiplayer section so you can play with your friends. Definitely coming back soon

  A friend told me about this place and it was so awesome I'm going back next weekend

  I took my brother after I saw the event online. It sounded like something that he'd enjoy. Neither he nor I were disappointed. We had a great time! And we... read more definitely can't wait to come back to #zionvr

  My 7-year-old son had a blast, and wasn't ready to go even after an hour straight.

  Great place to have a teenager party! The kids said they had an awesome time and want to do it again. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

  Second time here.  First time we booked 4 stations and the kids (10 yr olds) had a great time though it took them a little while to get a hang... read more of switching games.  This time we booked 9 stations for my son's birthday.  Adults and kids had a blast this time!  Staff was very helpful and friendly.  We will definitely be back.

  Awesome experience, great customer service. Would definitely recommend this VR experience and plan to go again.

  My NEW favorite place in the world... better than Disneyland and a lot closer... Incredible experience... go with friends and play together... Shawn, helps you and keeps you enjoying your... read more time... Make a reservation ... We played for an hour, but I could have gone on for 2 or 3 hrs... Can't wait to go back!

  Had a great time. Already making plans to go again.

  My kids enjoyed it...money well spent!! Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again! Sean and Stephanie were very nice amd patient as well! �

  Great experience, lots of fun, well-run business.

The owner opened early for us recently so we could get our game on (and all the times were booked!).

All the games work... read more flawlessly. The sound system is terrific (so you can chat with your friends whether you're in the same VR game or not).

Most importantly to me, the staff pays attention, so when you have trouble or have questions, they instantly help you.

So much fun! If you've never tried VR, do it. You'll be blown away.

  Me and the hubby went here for a date. It's super clean, reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was SO MUCH FUN. The games get... read more really immersive and we wished we booked more than an hour when our time was up. Will definitely be coming back.

  It's something new to me. The owners are young and so nice.

  My boyfriend and I tried this yesterday, on a Monday. We did a walk in, because we weren't sure when we were free. We came in around 3:30 and it... read more was not busy at all, mainly because it's in the mid afternoon on a Monday. We paid for one hour and we each our own station, so we were across from each other. The guys working there helped us get situated and I must commend them for their patience because I can be so incompetent.

You watch a demo in the beginning so it's very straight forward to use and I am definitely not a gamer, but I was able to pick up on what to do fairly easy. (So if I can do it, anyone can do it) We had a great time playing a variety of games together. You have the option to play multiplayer and talk to each other using the headset, or play on your own. But we chose to play the multiplayer games together and it was just fun. We were just yelling and talking to each other the entire time. It is definitely a work out though. In the one hour we tried over 5 different games.

Next time we are definitely going for 2 hours and we are going to bring more people over. They do recommend to make a reservation online for big parties.

Big thank you to the guys at Zion for being so welcoming and being so patient with us! They were definitely very helpful. Even though we booked it for an hour, they added about 15-20 minutes to help you get use to the system. The pricing is really fair and it isn't too bad either. For the experience, the time, and the service -- the pricing is fair. We paid for $55 for two of us, that's less than 30 per person.  We had a great time.

  Excellent! My husband brought me yesterday for my birthday. We played a game together too- interesting how far technology has come. Pretty easy to get a handle on it too.... read more I really like the tilt brush, and even the fruit ninja was pretty sweet. The one with the temple run type was having me feel like I was actually walking 😆😆😆
