  • June 5 is the opening date for Sandbox VR’s first permanent Arizona venue, a more than 4,000-square-foot site in Gilbert’s SanTan Village shopping district.
  • 30% off bookings is being offered to customers who reserve before opening, as the company bets on Gilbert’s growth in dining, retail and live entertainment.
  • Four private rooms will host groups of two to six for parties and corporate events, with 11 experiences including Age of Dinosaurs, Stranger Things: Catalyst and Squid Game Virtuals.
  • The Gilbert launch follows a Mesa pop-up unveiled in March, expanding Sandbox VR’s footprint in a state where it previously had no permanent location.
