Looking for an Arcade in Cocoa Beach? Try a VR Arcade
Share
When you're looking for something fun to do in Cocoa Beach, an arcade might be one of the first ideas that comes to mind, especially if you're traveling with kids, teens, friends, or just want a break from the beach.
But what if instead of standing in front of an arcade machine, you could actually step inside the game?
That's the idea behind a VR arcade.
At Skull & Books VR in Cocoa Beach, we offer a different kind of gaming experience where players can explore virtual worlds, battle zombies, compete against friends, solve puzzles, and take on adventures together.
And if you've never tried virtual reality before, that's completely fine. In fact, many of our guests are experiencing VR for the very first time.
What Is a VR Arcade?
A traditional arcade usually offers a collection of individual machines, racing games, claw machines, pinball, and other games that you play one at a time.
A VR arcade takes gaming in a completely different direction.
Instead of watching the action on a screen, you put on a VR headset and find yourself inside the experience. Depending on the game, you might be exploring another world, fighting off zombies, working together on a mission, competing against your family, or trying to escape from a virtual environment.
At Skull & Books VR, our experiences are also private and staff-guided. We'll help get everyone set up, explain how everything works, and help your group choose experiences that fit what you're looking for.
You don't need to own a headset, understand VR, or even consider yourself a gamer.
Just show up and play.
Never Tried VR? Start for Just $10
One of the biggest questions we hear from first-time visitors is:
“What if I've never tried VR before?”
That's exactly why we offer our $10 VR Sampler.
It's an inexpensive way to experience virtual reality without committing to a longer session. We'll get you into the headset, show you the basics, and let you experience what VR is actually like.
If you love it, and plenty of people do, you can always come back for a longer adventure.
More Than 50 VR Adventures to Explore
One of the advantages of a VR arcade is variety.
Skull & Books VR offers 50+ VR experiences, so different groups can find something that fits them.
Depending on what you're in the mood for, you can:
- Battle zombies
- Explore incredible virtual environments
- Compete against friends and family
- Work together on cooperative missions
- Test your skills in action games
- Solve puzzles
- Try family-friendly adventures
- Take on a private VR escape room
Because sessions are guided, we'll help you narrow down the choices instead of handing you a headset and leaving you to figure everything out yourself.
Looking for an Escape Room? We Have Those Too
VR also allows us to take the idea of an escape room far beyond what could be built inside a physical room.
Your group can travel to unusual environments, interact with the virtual world, uncover clues, solve puzzles, and work together to complete your mission.
Our private VR escape rooms are a great option for couples, families, groups of friends, and anyone who enjoys puzzles and cooperative challenges.
And once again, no previous VR experience is necessary.
A Different Kind of Family Activity in Cocoa Beach
Cocoa Beach has no shortage of outdoor activities, but sometimes you need something different.
Maybe it's raining.
Maybe everyone has had enough sun for the day.
Maybe you have some time to fill before dinner.
Or maybe the kids and teens are simply ready to do something besides the beach.
Skull & Books VR is indoors and air-conditioned, and you don't need to dedicate an entire day to visiting.
You can stop in for a quick introduction to VR or make it one of the main activities of your day.
And Yes, There's a Used Bookstore Too
Here's the part that surprises a lot of first-time visitors.
We're not just a VR arcade.
Skull & Books VR is also a used bookstore with thousands of books to browse.
You'll find everything from fantasy and science fiction to mysteries, thrillers, children's books, classics, nonfiction, and plenty of unexpected finds.
That means one person can be excited about VR while someone else browses the shelves, or you can do both.
It's an unusual combination.
We know.
That's kind of the point.
Looking for Something Different to Do in Cocoa Beach?
