About Active Reality Bristol East

Active Reality Bristol East puts a free-roam virtual reality arena inside the Absolutely Karting site - a 9-by-6-metre space where groups play full-body multiplayer VR with no wires and none of the motion sickness of seated headsets. Parties book the arena privately for groups of three to twelve (bigger groups by email), with a Games Master helping pick from a catalogue of family-friendly 9+ titles like Kraken Island and Kitchen Panic through to more intense 12+ games; sessions run about 45 to 75 minutes depending on choices. Players must be nine or over with a parent or guardian in the room for under-16s, and the host venue's facilities cover refreshments - with go-karting next door for a double-header party. Pricing is published from £17.50 per person and the early reviews are perfect (5.0 from 23 on Google); bookings run online and by email

    Booked for my son’s 10th birthday.. it was brilliant! 100% going back. A real exhibition of a father’s dominance as I absolutely destroyed the kids! Turns out it was more for the parents than the kids. Even though they got their butts kicked they still had the best time! Definitely a brilliant family activity!

    The games were really fun and our host Dom was brilliant helping us when we got stuck including my girlfriends mum who has never done VR before. Would definitely do again!!!

    Had my sons birthday here - an awesome experience, plenty of games and levels to choose from. Staff were really great and ensured all the kids had an enjoyable experience. Dom was the staff member who led and he was brilliant. Would definitely return & recommend.

    Party room at karting venue converted to be arena with patterned floor and sensors. 6 x 13 year old boys had lots of fun over an hour here playing 3 different games with various maps. They found the lobby where they played virtual arcade games the most fun. An hour was quite long, couple of the kids took a break towards the end. Not all the games are available at this venue yet, not made clear before or after booking. Staff were friendly and all the tech worked well. Would go back if more games were added.

    Booked a private VR party for my son's 10th birthday. Really easy via the website. He took 5 friends (max of 6). Location really easy to find and the premises looked very professional. We were taken through to the private VR room and staff immediately got stuck in to taking the kids through the brief and fitting their headsets. The briefing and support from staff was excellent the whole way through, they were very attentive and they immediately fixed any issues (there were very few) or answered any questions we had. There was a large screen that we could watch that showed what the kids were seeing which was great. They had an absolute blast! It was very entertaining watching them play the various games. Some games were team games and others were individual. I would highly recommend.
