How to Choose Virtual Reality

Charlestown, the large centre between the city and the lake, is where Lake Macquarie's virtual reality sits. UnrealVR Charlestown is on the Pacific Highway, which makes it a straightforward meeting point for families and friends from different parts of the region.

Reasons it works for parties from across the region:

  • Indoor play: a useful back-up when an outdoor plan by the lake falls through
  • Mixed ages: suitable for most people from about six years old, with kids welcome
  • Exclusive hire: a party package or the full studio keeps the group to itself
  • Spectator-friendly: screens above each station let waiting friends follow the game
  • Variety: roughly 60 experiences, multiplayer worlds and two racing simulators

It is a contrast to a day out on the water: everything happens in one room, over a set hour, with staff on hand to steer each player to a suitable game.
