Went to see the virtual exhibit - well it is multiple exhibits. One of the most exciting experiences I have had in a long time. If you've got vertigo ... well, this might get you over it!

Year long exhibits you are not likely to see anywhere else but here. Original, stark and mesmerizing. Leave enough time to visit all the exhibits. It is worth it. Kid friendly. Located in a delightful area of the city with lots to do, eat and tour. Before you visit, check the web-site for the events calendar.
This place was awesome. The particals of existence virtual reality exhibits were visually amazing and the staff was great. You do feel a little rushed because there are a lot of people in the groups they have you in and you are only allotted a certain block of time but besides that, great!
We took our 13 year old son and his 14 year old friend. They, along with their mothers, watched the Virtual Garden, who's run has been extended. At the end, there is also a game the boys played, which they really got into.
The women got a little dizzy and one got a bit of a headache. The kids are more used to this type of format. It was less than $10.00 per person and the session lasted almost 2 1/2 half hours for the boys. We went early so there was no line up. The staff are really great! The had another show going on at the same time called Enemy that looked really interesting. It was for ages 14 and up.
The space is quite well done and on other levels they also have performers and DJ's. I believe some of the other shows are also licensed to sell alcohol. We stopped by the day before and they let use take a look around. Super cool!
The VR exhibit really requires 3 hours to do it right and we only had an hour and a half before closing. Disappointing. We'll have to come back another time to do the Phi Centre right.
After spending much of our vacation in historical sites, we decided to take a break and try something new and different. So glad we did! The Lucid Realities immersive exhibition at Phi Centre was amazing! We went on a rainy Thursday in late October and were fortunate that it was not at all crowded, so we had no wait between experiences. As two senior-aged guests, we were by far the oldest ones there, and since this was our first foray into the world of virtual reality, we had a blast! Our favorite was the Walk in Space, followed by Tree, Flock, Life of Us, and The Island of the Colorblind. We both found Blind Vaysha to be depressing, and neither of us wanted to try the more violent experiences. The staff there is really helpful and cheerful -- always a plus! If you have the chance to go, DO! It was fun!
