Sandbox VR

Experience the world’s most advanced virtual reality at Sandbox VR in Lincoln Park. Our socially immersive gaming experience combines full-body motion capture and high-quality haptics to provide unprecedented realism and complete immersion that’s not possible with home VR systems or other location-based VR venues. Groups of up to six friends freely roam the VR space together, exploring exclusive virtual worlds and relying on each other to succeed in games specifically designed to be social experiences. When you play, you feel like you’ve been transported into your own action movie.

We have 43 locations across the globe including two in Chicago. We opened in Oakbrook in 2020 and opened at Lincoln Common in June 2023. Within our first few months, we’re already rated 4.9 out of 5 star rating across 700 reviews. Come see why!

In addition to smaller group experiences, we also offer unique private group events. Sandbox VR is built for group activities and to foster connection, so it’s a fun way to celebrate birthdays, bond with corporate teams, and more. Reserve multiple rooms or take over our entire space for an unforgettable event.

Paid street parking is available, or we can validate 90 minutes of parking in the garage at 2316 N. Lincoln.
