Virtual reality is designed to be enjoyable for most guests, but some individuals may experience mild discomfort, including dizziness, vertigo, or motion sensitivity. Those who are prone to motion sickness, sensitive to visual stimulation, or have claustrophobia may be more likely to feel these effects. Guests who feel unwell at any time should remove the headset and notify a staff member.

Yes, with certain conditions.

The exhibition is outfitted with ramps, and all entrances and exits are designed with a wide enough space for manual wheelchairs, canes, walkers, or alternative manual mobility devices. Please note: Motorized wheelchairs are not permitted as they can damage our floor-mounted equipment.

Complimentary wheelchairs are available for guests who require mobility assistance during their visit. Please speak with a staff member upon arrival to request one. Wheelchair availability is subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis, and we recommend notifying us in advance if possible so we can best accommodate your needs. We are committed to making the experience accessible and enjoyable for every guest.

Yes. While parts of the experience involve standing and walking, seating is available in designated areas, including the immersive dome. Extra seats are available within the VR space for guests who need to step back, take a break, or recover from any discomfort mid-session. Staff will assist you to a seat immediately upon request.

Guests who prefer to watch rather than participate are warmly welcome. Dedicated seating is provided so you can enjoy watching your friends and family experience the adventure without joining the VR simulation yourself.

It is not recommended for a person with a heart condition or epilepsy to participate in the activity.

We strongly advise against participation during pregnancy. The immersive nature of VR — including movement simulation, visual intensity, and headset use — may cause discomfort or disorientation. We encourage expectant guests to enjoy the experience from our dedicated viewing area alongside their companions.
