The Fun Lab	https://thevirtualreviewer.com/review/the-fun-lab-minneapolis/	https://www.thefunlabcenter.com/virtual-reality	10650 Baltimore St	Bright family entertainment	Up in Blaine at 10650 Baltimore Street, The Fun Lab runs a Hologate arena, and Hologate is a smart pick for younger kids and mixed-age groups. It seats or stands up to four players in a compact tracked space, and the games are fast, colorful rounds where you fight robots, zombies, and dragons or duel each other.	Per-play, check booking	Families, quick 4-player rounds. Bright family entertainment.
Voxel VR Parlour	https://thevirtualreviewer.com/review/voxel-vr-parlour-minneapolis/	https://voxelvrp.com/	1185 Concord St N	Chill, unlimited-hour arcade	Voxel Virtual Reality Parlour in South St. Paul (1185 Concord St N) is the spot I would send a first-timer or a group that just wants to poke around without a scripted mission.	Per-headset, 60 min unlimited	Open-play, first-timers. Chill, unlimited-hour arcade.
Virtual Reality Arcade	https://thevirtualreviewer.com/review/virtual-reality-arcade-minneapolis/	https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Virtual+Reality+Arcade+Minneapolis	23168 St Francis Blvd N	Small-town local arcade	If you live north of the metro, the Virtual Reality Arcade in St. Francis (23168 St Francis Blvd NW) is a genuine local walk-in spot.

Dave & Buster's	https://thevirtualreviewer.com/review/dave-buster-s-minneapolis/	https://www.daveandbusters.com/	Maple Grove & Edina	Sports bar plus games	Dave & Buster's is not a dedicated VR house, but the Maple Grove and Edina locations fold virtual reality into a full arcade, sports-bar, and eat-drink night. If half your group is lukewarm on VR and the other half wants wings and a big-screen game, this splits the difference.	Card-based per game	Date night plus arcade. Sports bar plus games.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best VR arcade in Minneapolis for adults?

For a real, immersive night, Sandbox VR in Eden Prairie or Roseville. It uses full-body haptics and free-roam movement, and the game roster (Deadwood Mansion, Davy Jones, Amber Sky) leans toward adults and older teens.

How much does VR cost in the Twin Cities?

It ranges. Sandbox runs $50 to $55 per person for a session. Voxel charges per headset for a 60-minute unlimited bay. Hologate rounds at The Fun Lab and card-based VR at Dave & Buster’s are cheaper per play but shorter, so cost depends on how long you want to be in the headset.

Is there free-roam VR in Minnesota?

Yes. Sandbox VR is your true full-body free-roam option with haptic vests and body tracking. Hologate arenas like the one at The Fun Lab offer a lighter, more compact tracked experience that still lets you move.

Is VR in Minneapolis good for kids?

Very. The Fun Lab’s Hologate and Voxel’s open-play bays both work well for kids, with short rounds and gentler games. Always check age minimums per venue, since some experiences are aimed at teens and up.

Do I need to book ahead?

For Sandbox VR and weekend Hologate slots, yes, book online. Voxel and the smaller arcades usually take walk-ins, but calling ahead never hurts, especially on weekends.
