Was very underwhelming flight experience

Karen 6 February 2026

Was not what was shown on advertisement picture. No better than doing it at home , the chair was broken we only used 1 of our vouchers as not worth it. We drove over an hour to get there to sit on a chair in front of a computer screen. False advertising.

An immersive experience, my 15 year old son loved it. Friendly staff.

Closest to flying the real thing :)

Michael 29 January 2024

The staff member was most helpful, and the simulator experience was the closest you could experience the flying experience bar flying a real plane itself. The flight sim with VR and the mechanical chair definitely enhances the experience. Highly recommend if you are a flight nut :)

The F/A18super hornet was mind boggling

I loved it. It had me speeding away in the fighter jet going 1.23x the speed of sound

VR fighter iet experience

Amazing. It was a surprise for my 8 year old 'wanna be' pilot. He had the 'best time ever' being in control of the fighter jet. The person who cared for us during the experience is a pilot and really nurtured my sons interest. He was sensational, knowledgable, interested and just all over fabulous. He gave my son a much longer time than the 15 minutes and helped him with maneuvers and landing etc. We are already planning (well my son is) a return visit. Thanks so much. I hope the guy who worked there sees this review and understands how appreciative we are to him. My son won't stop talking about it

Hi Narelle, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I'm so happy to hear your son enjoyed his VR experience - sounds like he had a ball. Can't wait to hear about your next experience. Thanks, Elise

Very Fun and worth it!

Ramsey 6 November 2021

The experience was very fun and exhilarating! Flying the Jet fighter was much simpler than you would think. I did barrel rolls, loop the loops, low passes, and flying upside down. The simulation was very realistic and I recommend it to anyone, even if you're not interested in planes. 5/5 Stars

Best. Simulation. Ever.

Three minutes in, and I was flying like a pro. Tried landing just before wrapping it up, and did well for a first-timer. So much fun, looking forward to my next session! Thank you!
