I had gone about two months back with two other friends and was really impressed. I told another friend of mine that she really needed to go because it was really really good and even though I had already seen it I was happy to go a second time we've had.

This was a spur of the moment purchase, as we were at the Fever Pavilion to see another exhibition. We had never done the VR experience before, so we were quite intrigued. The staff were fantastic and helpful before it started and then, what a ride it was! Being able to see the pyramids in a way that you would not be able to see them in real life was amazing. The effects were fantastic & a couple of times, quite overwhelming (but in a good way!) We would definitely do this again.
