I took my husband here on a surprise date night! He's not very much of a gamer and this is the first time experience for both of us with VR... read more and we had a ton of fun they even had games that he was into and we both liked

  Pretty fun. Great place to spend time and get a introduction into the vr world. There are multiple games you can play with or against some friends as long as... read more you join the same room.

  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.

  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!

  Last night was my 3rd experience at Zion so I felt it appropriate to leave a review seeing as how I've thoroughly enjoyed it all three times and feel everyone... read more should try this.

My husband and I came here trying to find something new and exciting in the city. We've had limited play with VR and thought we'd give Zion a try. I was compelled to come here after reading all the positive reviews I've seen on social media. The first time we went we reserved two spots and arrived at our appointment 10 minutes before per instruction to learn the controls. This place gets bonus points for an all-online booking system where you can see how many slots are taken on any given day. We were lucky to be the only two in the building. The owner (I believe his name is Sean? Shawn? I feel bad not remembering) was extremely helpful explaining how the system works. Afterwards, we were on our way into VR land. I was so blown away by the experience - it opened my eyes to a whole new world of fun. We enjoyed it so much we actually came back the next day with our teenager in tow. Last night I reserved the whole place for my husband's birthday party. All guests were all newcomers and yes, they were all impressed.

The building: It's a small location, the inside is nothing fancy to look at. Very simple and clean. It's of course dimly lit and very quiet in between appointments, and quiet if you're lucky enough to have the place to yourself. The bathroom is well maintained and the tiny lobby has snacks for sale. There are 10 stalls each equipped with a headset. Each has air so you don't get too hot playing in your stall. They make sure to keep each headset sanitized. My first time going there I was worried about other peoples' sweat and whatnot cause that is obviously disgusting but thankfully I've not had a problem with smelling other peoples' gross stink in the headset. I know that's a weird thing to talk about, however you *are* sticking something on your freaking face that's been on hundreds of other peoples' sweaty face and heads. Never a problem here.

The games: There are a ton of games for all ages, young and old, from simple puzzle games to zombie shooters, to absurdly realistic underwater ocean encounters and Star Wars-esque lightsaber training, Including some multi-player options. If you're worried about taking your children and a group of adults together, DON'T BE. The Vive headsets they use are top-of-the-line and comfortable to wear. Each person communicates via a Discord channel so you are able to talk to your family/friends while you play. Sometimes the controls are a little hard to grasp depending on the game, however 99% of the time easy to understand. If you get stuck, the owners always offer tips and help immediately so that your rental time isn't eaten up with struggling.

The people: The owners/employees are super friendly. They have 100% made sure that everyone is in and out on time for their next appointments but have never rushed us at all. They are also so, so helpful without being pushy. They seem like they actually like what they do and he's always laughing. They've done a great job making sure every time we've has been nothing but a quality experience.

The only cons: be prepared for extra noise in your headsets if there are other adults with their kids going crazy in stalls next to you. The noise never gets overbearing or painful in the headsets, ever, but it's pretty annoying to be trying to enjoy a game with someone a few feet from you screaming. This only happened on one occasion and was hard to communicate with my family because of the bleed through on the headsets (which is beyond the arcade's control of course). Some things that would make this experience even more enjoyable: Put a limit on excessive noise. Children are expected to be loud, but when full-grown men come in shouting at the top of their lungs at every single thing they do perhaps it would be a good policy to ask them to chill out. I sound like Mrs. Buzzkillington, but jeez. Also, sometimes it is overly distracting to hear extra tips or suggestions when you are trying to play a game. I am appreciative when I am stuck and I need help, however there have been some times where we have just been exploring around and were receiving unsolicited advice and solutions to what we were doing. I understand they're just trying to be helpful though, so I can't knock him for that. A very friendly suggestion would be that he and anyone else assisting with the setup don't offer game tips unless specifically asked. Otherwise, please keep coming into our channel to help us!

If you're looking for an all-ages fun thing to do, GO TO THIS. I recommend it for literally everyone. Just go. It's cheap and you won't be disappointed.

  Been two times. It's a blast. Recommend highly to everyone I know!

  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 😆😆😆

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

  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.

  Took my nephew to this place. We really enjoyed it. If you are into gaming check this place out.

  Tons of fun! Took my 13 year old and we both had a great time. He wants to go back and I totally agree.

  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.

  Absolutely a great experience!

My 1st time doing a VR. Treated my son and we played a multi player zombie game. I was so intrigued into the real feel that... read more I literally tried to lean on an SUV in the game to get ammo and fell. LOL! I laughed at myself for the rest of the time there while enjoying many other games.

  I had a rare weekend off from work and the kiddo so I browsed Yelp to see if there was anything cool to do date night wise with the BD.... read more  I found ZION VR.

Now I don't play much video games but I love the idea of playing a game in virtual reality.  And this place did not disappoint.

It's a family run operation and they're only a couple months old.  Everyone was super friendly and helpful down to demonstrating the controllers and suggesting which games we'd be into.

I thought one hour would be enough time and the BD actually thought one hour might be too long for his attention span, but we got to playing a zombie game together and it flew by.  We had a fun dinner planned for after playing but I immediately looked up to see if there were other slots of times available.

For $30 per bay/ stall reservation (less if you reserve more bays at the same time), the price is great!  It's an awesome place to support and I will definitely drive the one hour from Placerville back down to play again.  I wanted to give this place all the stars but at the same time I hate the idea of them getting so busy that I'd have to book weeks in advance.  But they're worth it!

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

  It was awesome. Great service good selection on games

  My Nieces and Nephew love this place and that's all a cool Auntie needs to know.   Their ages are 14, 13 and 12.  My nephew Beau and been there... read more 2 nights before so he was already old hat when using the VR.  My nieces the 14 and 12 year old struggled a bit at first but the helpful staff was there to help them and guide them along.  

We were there for an hour which seemed like a long time for me but they said time just flew by, it was a fun experience and I'm sure they will be returning.   They have a comfortable sofa to chill out on while you're waiting or they have little boxes you can sit on and watch them make fools out of themselves.  haha just kidding.

  The Arcade itself is pretty good! The VR headset is easy to put on but can be nauseating at times whenever you play physically exerting games. Virtual Dodgeball, Eagle game... read more and the Zombie game we’re worth the 1hr time slot

  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.

  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!

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

  Awesome Experience!

We took two teenage boys here on a rainy day.  Reservations, which are recommended, were easy to make from their website.  When we arrived the venue appeared clean and... read more well-kept.  Sean, who I believe is the owner, greeted us and got us set up.  Set up for 4 took only a few minutes.  He was super friendly and helpful.  The tutorial was quick and easy, so getting started was fast.  They have a large selection of games and VR experiences.  The kids love the multiplayer games, but adults should check out the Google Tilt Brush - you can create your own beautiful, sparkly universe!  Sean monitored our games and was right there to help us on the headsets if he saw we were unsure of what to do,  The time flew by, and we all had an amazingly good time.  When we were done, it was nice to see that Sean was cleaning VR sets used by others.  Not just wiping them down in a cursory fashion, but really cleaning them.  We loved it here, and can't wait to go back!

  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.

  Awesome experience, especially if you are on the fence about buying one yourself. Staff is friendly and you are able to easily play with friends in game. There is room... read more for improvement regarding the physical location but I'm so glad j went! I had lots of fun!

  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.

  Came here at around 3:00 on a Saturday, and they got us to a pod immediately. Staff are great, and the experience is a must see for locals and tourists... read more alike. Definitely 5 stars!

  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.

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

  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!!

  The staff are very helpful in demonstrating how to use the equipment even during your play time.

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

  Came in recently with some friends and it was so much fun. Definitely a new experience and I can't wait to go back. Thinking about bringing my kids one day.... read more But def a lot of fun with just adults. The zombie game is so freaky. I seriously couldn't help getting freaked out lol. I don't like motion very much because it really makes me sick but it wasn't bad at all. Also I can hear my friends on the earphones too which was fun to hear everyone's reactions. Definitely recommend. I will be back soon!

  We came by without a reservation today and were lucky to be able to play:) My 9 year old son had a great time. I must say it was a... read more great first vr experience for him. He loves all of the options in games to choose from. They had several different levels also. The tutorial was pretty straight forward. We will definitely be back with friends so that they can play within the same game

  My son and I had a great time! Awesome place to go especially with the rain.

  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!!!

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

  What a great time for all ages in my family... we had a blast..

  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!!

  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

  My boyfriend and I loved this experience! We were looking for something fun and different to do for date night and stumbled upon this place.

I'm so glad we did!... read more The customer service was amazing and the guy at the front desk was so helpful and patient with us as we attempted to learn. We are NOT gamers at all BUT we still had sooooo much fun. :)

The video graphics and games were so cool!

My boyfriend wants to buy it for home? Is that even possible w/o costing an arm and a leg? :)

  This place was super fun. Very nice for groups. The staff was friendly and helpful, they will guide you through the games when you are stuck. The games are kids... read more friendly but also have more advanced games for adults. The controllers, headset, and gear were sanitized after each use. Would recommend this for everyone :)

  Had an amazing time! So much fun, and realistic experience. There are many game options to chose from. There are tons of multi player games, single player games.

  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.

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

  The best vr experience ever! Prices are very reasonable and well worth every penny. The guy Sean that works there is so helpful the whole time you are playing. Over... read more 40+ games to choose from and its multi player. Zion is the place to visit for vr.

  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.

  Such a fun experience!! I keep thinking about coming back and finishing our zombie game. Too bad my boyfriend and i live on the southern part of california.

My boyfriend and... read more i played the multiplayer zombie game. It took a couple of times getting mauled by zombies to get the hang of things. After a while it was pretty easy to figure out how to do things like change guns or throw a granade.

The worker there was really nice and even helped us out by giving hints. There was a glitch in my part of the system 30 minutes into the game and the worker ended up restarting the game as well as the time we had. I only paid for an hour and to me that was not enough time. I could have played for 2 hours straight. The entire time I could communicate with my boyfriend through a mic and it was just really realistic.

This was a super fun experience and my boyfriend really enjoyed it.

  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

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

  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.
