Base Station VR Lounge is Rhode Island’s first dedicated virtual reality arcade/lounge. Whether you’re looking to relax and spend time in the Arizona sunshine shooting zombies or go a bit wild and create virtual artwork that fills an entire room sized canvas in 3D, we’ve got the space for you! Base Station VR Lounge has several room scale spaces, all approximately 8'x8', which allow you to walk around a bit and not be constrained to one spot in “real” space, allowing the inner and outer you freedom of motion. Scheduling note: Weekdays are mostly advanced bookings only requiring a minimum 2 hours advanced notice (either online or via phone). Walk-ins are available Thursday and Friday nights from 5-10, Saturdays from 12-10, and Sundays from 12-6. We can accommodate up to 10 players at once, each with their own headsets, with the potential of all playing in the same experience together.
