Description
The PHI Center's immersive experience offers a wheelchair loan service at the entrance, as well as walking sticks or canes to help maintain balance during the experience. Please note that the specific features of the immersive virtual reality experience only allow the use of manual wheelchairs. We recommend that you contact them for further information.
Free companion tickets are available at the reception desk.
However, it is not recommended that people suffering from claustrophobia, agoraphobia, fear of heights or epilepsy participate. In addition, people prone to motion sickness may also experience discomfort when using a virtual reality headset, which can lead to symptoms such as drowsiness and increase the risk of injury in real-life activities. Finally, for safety reasons, service dogs are not allowed in the experiment.
