Operated by Thrillzone · Queenstown, Otago
Queenstown, known across New Zealand and beyond for its rugged mountain peaks and pristine lake shores, has a surprising twist for adventure seekers beyond its outdoor playground: Thrillzone. Located at 53 Shotover Street, this premier entertainment hub specializes in advanced Virtual Reality (VR) experiences that push the boundaries of traditional adventure and gaming. Thrillzone is not just another VR arcade; it’s the world’s exclusive venue offering both Omni VR and Hologate VR, two of the most innovative VR platforms available today.
These technologies provide an unparalleled level of immersion. Omni VR lets you physically run, jump, and crouch in a 360-degree VR environment, freeing your body to move as it does in the real world. Hologate VR, meanwhile, lets users freely navigate in multiplayer arenas, blending social interaction with visceral action scenarios. Thrillzone’s standout 1-Hour Pass, dubbed the Delux Deal, allows visitors to tailor their experience across four distinct setups: Omni VR, Hologate VR, the Vortex 12D Motion Theatre, and the DX Race Car Simulator. This customization means every visitor—from kids to adults, beginners to seasoned gamers—can find an experience that hits the right level of challenge and thrill.
Unlike the natural landscape outside, Thrillzone offers a cutting-edge tech escape that complements Queenstown’s outdoor adrenaline culture with indoor innovation. The facility is fully equipped to accommodate contact lens and glasses wearers, ensuring comfort alongside excitement. Height and weight restrictions for Omni VR (minimum height 1.20m, maximum 1.95m, max weight 130kg) help maintain safety standards without limiting access for most adventurers.
By bringing VR’s latest advances to the heart of Otago, Thrillzone enriches Queenstown’s reputation as a year-round adventure capital—where physical terrain and digital frontiers merge seamlessly. Whether you’re seeking a new way to engage your senses or escape into virtual realms that challenge your reflexes and wits, Thrillzone’s 1-Hour Pass offers a standout, customizable dive into VR unlike anywhere else in the world.
