Neighbourhood: Central Business District
Full of discovery and delight, Melbourne’s laneways tease the imagination long after you’ve put your weary feet up to rest. They weave through the heart of the city: cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques, throbbing with conversation and espresso coffee. You never quite know what you’ll find around the next corner: cobblestone alleys, old beer barrel hoists and even vats of simmering organic soup. There is the air of Berlin in the street art, a touch of Paris in the umbrella-shaded cafes and, reminiscent of Rome, eateries tucked away in the most unlikely of places. Perhaps you might want a break and cross the Yarra River to Southbank - walk along the promenade, bask in the sun at a waterside bar and decide whether to go to the nearby casino or book a ticket at the Melbourne theatre company.

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.

My husband & I booked this experience while holidaying in Melbourne. We had never done anything like this before but thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were so helpful making sure we knew how to operate the equipment and that we were enjoying the experience.

A very fun first-time experience playing a number of VR games. This was a gift from my son who joined me to play the games together.

Worst experience I have ever had in my life if I could give it no points I would, the staff were rude and patronising to the point we ended up asking for a refund and taking our business elsewhere. Also anyone who have any medical conditions or concerns please spare yourself the trouble of being publicly humiliated and put down by the staff at this establishment while your family and children are present.

They should advice you that even if you have rang and informed them your friend is running 10 min late that the time will start ticking regardless. No lenience is given even if they cant help your child with his game and he has to stand and wait for them as they are busy with other customers. They will still, stop their play dead on that booked minuite. And when you explain your grievance they say "we are sorry but we were booked out" even though every booth was empty (just one family was waiting) and I was told that if I was lucky and I asked them, they may give me extra time next time my son plays.

Hi there, we are sorry that you didn't get your full 50 minute session, we do try and accommodate people who arrive late, but as the next session was booked out we would have been unable to give the friend any extra time as that would have meant delaying the next customers booked in, which we don't feel would be fair, and I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if that happened to you. We did our best to accommodate your group, as we started your son rather than wait for his friend to arrive. We are sorry that the second player missed out on some of his time, however we did our best to get him in as quickly as possible when he showed up. I am sorry to hear your son had to wait for assistance, sometime multiple people need help, and we can only help customers in the order they ask, and we always try to be efficient in getting around to everyone. I can definitely understand how seeing all the empty booth would make it seem like we had the space to give out extra time, however we need that time between sessions to sanitize all the equipment in the shop, as it would be irresponsible of us to put our next customers into a headset that had just been used, especially during this pandemic. Again I am sorry your sons friend wasn't able to get the full experience, I know how much fun VR is (for kids especially) and I hope you decide to bring them both back so they can enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Son introduced me to this. Plank started it off and certainly created a real VR experience. Staff were engaged and friendly.
