Went to a virtual reality exhibit with many separate experiences. The "Spheres" about space was by far the best one. It was absolutely incredible!! You have about 3 hours with your ticket and, in that time, you should be able to get most of the experiences done. It's amazing but can be tiring and some experiences are better than others.
WOW! This was so much fun!!! We came here because our college kids really wanted to experience Virtual Reality. The entire family had so much fun! They have several different rooms with different Virtual Reality experiences in each. You reserve a specific time to be in the space, just as if you were buying tickets to a movie. You might have from 2 -5 pm. During that time you can experience as many or as few rooms as you like. There are a limited number of viewing goggles available in each room, so you can wait, or move on to another room. The wait and moving around is similar to waiting for rides at an amusement park. Once in the room, they adjust the goggles on your head. In some rooms you have to stand and in other rooms you can sit in chairs. The Experiences (movies) vary. It is just like being in a movie. As you turn and look in any direction, you only see the "movie" experience that you are in. Once experience was like being in outer space . Once was like being part of an orchestra. One was an Animee story. Another was in the 1950 or 60's at a launch of a rocket to space. This was a completely immersive experience! The entire family loved this place. It is so amazing that you can turn in any direction and see anything in the "movie" you are in. I loved being in space! My daughter loved being in the Anime story. Our son loved the animated story of the girl and the monster. My husband loved the rocket launch. Virtual Reality is the future! I highly recommend you experience this at Phi Center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They all spoke English. The location is in the old town just a few blocks to the port at 407 Saint-Pierre Street. It was quite a walk from the Square-Victoria Metro stop of about 8-10 blocks. You have to call reserve a time. The cost was around $20 per person and definitely worth it!!!
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!
