Everything you need for a fab day out under one roof. We have a bar that offers light snacks, alcoholic and soft drinks. We can also order additional catering sourced from our local suppliers for your private events and special occasions.
No, we do not have gaming PCs anymore.
Our VR arenas are absolutely fine if you are pregnant, however, we advise due to the intensity of some of the rides that pregnant women consult with a medical professional before taking part.
Depending on the size of your lenses, most of our equipment will comfortably fit over your glasses. It should be noted that some people find with VR that they are still able to see perfectly fine without their glasses.
Unfortunately, because of the need of two controllers in the VR arenas you will not be able to play. Nevertheless you can take part in the VR Sphere and 5D Cinema, but please be mindful these are intense moving attractions and we would advise against taking part.
Yes, our building is wheelchair accessible, although the Venue is on 2 levels and unfortunately there is only stair access to the second floor. However, half of our Arenas and all of our motion rides are located on the lower floor, so you will be able to take part in everything we have on offer.
We currently offer free rides in the 5D cinema and free teas and coffees for carers.
With VR the images flash very quickly and generally this is too quickly to trigger a seizure in people with photosensitive epilepsy. However, the field of view is large and so more of the eye is stimulated. This means that more of the brain may be affected and this might trigger a photosensitive seizure. We advise consulting with a medical professional beforehand.
We offer ASD friendly sessions called ‘open doors’ every Wednesday (excluding school holidays) from 1-3pm. You will have access to a curated selection of our experiences, with control over the lighting and sound in our venue. For more information please visit our page weekly events page https://booking.vertigovr.co.uk/book/weekly-events/47
We advise booking VR Arenas in advance in order to ensure you have a slot. With regards to our Motion Rides (5d Cinema, VR Sphere, VR Ride) you are likely to get a slot on the day, but if you don’t want to risk it we strongly advise booking a specific time slot online.
Unless you are part of a booked VR birthday party you will not be allowed to bring food from outside retailers. However, we offer snacks and drinks at our in house bar.

We aim to update our content as often as possible, and we’re constantly adding new games to our VR Arenas.
Although it's a possibility, the majority of our customers do not experience this. Some of these games are designed to specifically avoid causing motion sickness. However, if you do start to feel ill while playing, please take some time out of the headset until you feel better.
Although you do not have to wear a mask while in the VR Arenas or rides, it is at your own risk.
First of all we believe that our VR experiences were almost made for social distancing. Each VR Station is 2.6m wide with plenty of space for keeping apart. Our VR Spheres are self-contained motion pods with more than 1m between each unit.
Due to the fact that our 5D Cinema has 4 seats, we are only allowing up to two households familiar to each other on the ride at any one time in order to keep in line with Government advised guidelines.
ur sanitising procedures include the application of antibacterial solution and lens cleaners after every use of equipment. We have adopted a 30min cycle for high touch areas in the building as well as medical UV-C light application which kills 99% of existing germs and bacteria, and is used on all headsets and controllers on a daily basis. We provide hygiene masks to each VR Station user no matter big or small. We use disposable silicone gloves when helping visitors to fit the headset, and our tills are fitted with PVC protection screens. Sanitising stations are available throughout the building and accompanied by social distancing awareness posters and traffic control floor signs. Our capacity has been reduced and we have switched to a *cashless, bookings only operation*(we do allow a limited number of walk-ins subject to availability).
We are keen believers in the competitiveness in every one of us, therefore we had to include these in our entertainment program. We are planning at least 20 eSports events at VertigoVR MK for the next year. That will include local and major championships and live finals streaming on our enormous video wall. You will have a chance to prove your VR skills
Although competitions are less regular, we do have a number of recurring weekly events to try and bring the amazing world of VR to a wider community. Be sure to check out what we have on offer.
Our VR Sphere’s are a combination of motion, virtual reality and wind to make you feel as though you are really there. With over 20 titles to experience, from soaring through the sky, to exploring the depths of the ocean, you can expect to feel a simulated 90% free-fall in your own private pod.
There are games available in the VR sphere. Please ask a member of staff if you would like to try them out.
Our VR ride is a stand up attraction that moves under your feet with the film you are experiencing. This attraction is one of our most intense and immersive experiences, so make sure you hold on tight!
Our 5D cinema is a thrilling combination of 3D Movies, moving platforms, and real effects including water, wind, smoke, and many more. Up to 4 people can use the cinema at any one time, which makes it a great activity for families and small groups.
Our 5D Cinema capacity is 4 people at one time.
Unfortunately not, this would be a health and safety hazard.
Yes, our age limit is 6+ due to the size of our equipment. However, it is at our staff’s discretion whether the attraction can still be used if a child is too small to fit our VR headsets or rides.

If you have had no prior experience with VR we recommend that you book at least a 60 minute time slot on our VR Arenas to allow you enough time to understand how they work and get to grips with the technology and games we offer.
We recommend standing while playing in our VR Arenas because of the need for movement in some of our games. However, if there is a medical reason why a player may need to be seated we will do our best to accommodate you and recommend suitable titles. There is still plenty of fun to be had.
