Question 2

Do I need to book in advance, or do you accept walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Walk-ins are always welcome at our Queenstown and Auckland Takapuna venues! However, because popular activities like Virtual Reality and Escape Rooms have limited hourly capacity, we highly recommend booking online in advance to secure your preferred timeslot. (Note: Our Auckland CBD venue operates strictly by reservation for group bookings only).

Virtual Reality experiences are available at Thrillzone Queenstown and Thrillzone Auckland Takapuna. Both locations feature state-of-the-art VR systems, including Omni VR (where your body moves in 360°), Hologate VR (multiplayer room-scale gaming), and VR Escape Rooms. Takapuna also features wireless Free-Roaming VR Battleground.
