Mirage VR

It is basically some VR headsets from 5 years ago and a steam library of some random games. You could get a better experience from just buying your own for a little but more. The equipment they have is worn out and low quality. Staff were nice and helpful but the price you pay is way too high. The location is basically an old barely furnished basement.

We visited Mirage VR as a family yesterday, excited for an immersive virtual reality experience — but unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The location itself was a major red flag. It’s tucked away in the basement of an old building, poorly marked, and frankly run down. The strong odour and visible mold made it uncomfortable to even stay there for long. It felt neglected and unfit for a place that relies on technology and cleanliness to attract customers. The equipment was heavily outdated and barely functional. The headsets and controllers looked like they were from the early days of VR, and the staff had to recalibrate the system multiple times just to get it to work — even then, it was glitchy and unresponsive. The graphics and games were shockingly old, more like something from the 1990s than a modern VR experience. The only saving grace was the employee on duty. She was incredibly knowledgeable, polite, and genuinely tried her best to make our experience enjoyable. Her professionalism and effort deserve a 10/10, but sadly, there’s only so much she could do given the poor condition of the facility and equipment. Overall, Mirage VR feels years behind today’s VR standards. Despite the great staff, the outdated tech, unpleasant environment, and poor value for money make it impossible to recommend. Save yourself the frustration and look for a more modern and better-maintained VR venue.

Despite the recent reviews, I was just here, and I can tell that they have definitely put some effort into making changes for the clients and people who come here. There was no mildew smell, the venue looked clean and taken care of, and they seem to be building a new gaming area as well. I had initially spoken with the manager, and they explained all the prior issues to me and how since they don't own the space (they rent), there is only so much work they can do on their own. The majority of the work, has to be done by maintenance, which involves a lot of waiting (which I totally understand because I've had similar issues with my own place of work). I honestly think people also forget that this location is in a basement, and the building is already a bit older. So, although I assume many people have fun here, I think they get caught up in a lot of the aesthetic, sometimes. I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I do know I had fun, though.

Had an amazing time at Mirage VR! The space is super spacious and well-designed, making the whole experience very comfortable and immersive. They have a fantastic collection of VR games—whether you’re into action, puzzles, or adventures, there’s something for everyone. A big shoutout to Connor, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. He explained everything so well and made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. It’s a perfect spot to hang out with friends or even go solo for some exciting escapism. Highly recommend Mirage VR for a fun and unique outing!

Had my son’s 9th birthday here today and it was great! I didn’t know what to expect, as we had never been, but the atmosphere was great once we walked in and the little extras they had set up like this large wooden Jenga and checkers on the table was a nice added touch the kids enjoyed! The party room was large and ready for us to set up. The male host was AMAZING with the kids who were super excited and not listening to all the instructions lol. Only recommendation would be to offer the free roam for the entire time with another game option, and extend the play time for about half hour, because the gearing up really ate into the time. Fantastic experience overall :)
