What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. You can walk the plank 60 stories high, escape tombs with challenging puzzles or dodge bullets. We use powerful gaming computers and top-of-the-range headsets to ensure that you’re completely immersed.

First Time Visitor?

For first time players we would recommend the Arcade as you have full freedom over which games you play. If you don’t want to commit to an hour check out our Deals section. For more information on how to book, check out our step by step guide below and to answer any more questions, check out our FAQ's page!

Excellent VR attraction Our son and his friends have autism and the Chimera team looked after them fantastically, making them feel they could be themselves. The whole place has been set up superbly. Thanks for a great experience!

Absolutely amazing Came in with my sister (12) and had a go at loads of games. Really nice lads there to help you out. The kit is great and the price is unbeatable. I would suggest having some sort of loyalty scheme with every 3 goes to win a free entry on a weekday though heheh

Great first time VR experience for us and our two kids 8&12. Been meaning to try it out for a while, and finally booked it. We spent an hour trying out various games, some coop. The whole setup is very slick, it’s easy to change games and try out different things. All the staff were very helpful, especially with my youngest who got a bit nervous at points.

VR Fun! This was a fun hour! - There were 20+ guardian spaces set up so you could do this as a group booking if you wanted to - Many games to choose from (E.g. Fruit Ninja, some shooters, some more immersive experience games like painting or rollercoasters etc) We spied some racing games on the way out, so there's a good amount to do here. - Reasonably priced - we paid £20 each for an hour. You get an audio warning at key points within the hour so you know to switch games etc if you want to. - Staff were really helpful and attentive, they clearly cared about their customers having a good time. - Good COVID precautions in place, lots of hand sanitiser and they clean the kit between players Turn up a few minutes early if you've never done VR before so you can get a tutorial (and sign the waiver) We will definitely will visit again - excited to see something so fun locally!

Fun with friends and can’t wait to return 5 friends and I went to Chimera for a VR escape room and played on the cars afterwards. We all had such an amazing time and couldn’t stop laughing. The employees were so helpful as this was our first time. We are all in our early 20s. Can’t wait to return for another escape room (apparently there are about 15 different escape rooms). It feels so real and definitely exceeded all of our expectations. Looking forward to going to the horror escape room next!

Great escapism and so much fun We were slightly hesitant to go as we are over 50, but we really enjoyed the experience. This was a free taster session. John talked us through and helped us with the games. We will definitely be returning for an escape challenge. This is suitable for all ages and abilities and a family activity. Much better than sitting watching TV - gets the heart pumping. Highly recommend.
