The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
ImmotionVR/iVR Brighton is a virtual reality experience centre aimed at children, families and birthday groups. The reviews here are heavily party-focused, with several parents booking for 8 to 11-year-olds and reporting that the team helped everyone get set up quickly. The big win is how much the children seem to enjoy it. Reviewers mention a good choice of games and experiences, plus standout bits like the VR dolphins and manta rays, which sound properly memorable rather than just another screen-based distraction. Staff are repeatedly praised for being patient, cheerful and good with kids, which matters a lot when half the group has never worn a headset before. What’s less clear is the practical stuff parents usually care about: there’s no mention of café quality, seating, pram access or baby facilities, so those remain unknown. It also looks much better suited to school-age children and tweens than toddlers, which is fair enough for VR but worth knowing before you promise a family outing to the under-fives.
