About
VR64 Arcade / New World VR on Richmond Road in Williamsburg offers proper virtual reality gaming experiences — not the watered-down phone-based VR of mall kiosks, but full headset VR that puts participants inside immersive digital worlds with physical interaction.
For families with older children and teenagers (ages 8+), this is a genuinely unique activity in the Williamsburg tourism landscape — something distinct from the historical sites, water parks, and outdoor attractions that dominate the area. First-time VR experiences almost universally produce memorable reactions from kids and adults alike.
The 4.8 rating with 76 reviews suggests this is a newer or specialty venue that delivers strongly for its target audience. The limited hours — open only Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — require careful advance planning. The venue is closed Tuesday through Thursday entirely, making it only accessible to visitors with weekend availability or extended weekday visits.
For tweens and teenagers who need an activity that feels less kid-oriented than trampoline parks or mini golf, VR gaming occupies a genuine different tier of excitement and novelty.

Why Kids Love It
Full virtual reality experiences using proper VR headsets put kids into immersive game worlds that standard video game consoles can't match — they're physically moving, dodging, and reaching in VR in ways that feel genuinely different from screen gaming. For kids who've never tried proper VR, the first few minutes of a VR experience often produce some of the most authentic shock-and-wonder reactions seen on a vacation.
