Metaphysica Virtual Reality

Last updated April 2026

Metaphysica Virtual Reality in Greenway is a high-energy arcade where kids step into other worlds without ever leaving Canberra. This isn’t just another screen-based game—it’s full-body VR experiences that have even the most reluctant players cheering after their first jump into a dinosaur adventure or a zero-gravity spacewalk. The headsets are lightweight and adjustable, perfect for little faces, and the games are designed so the youngest players (from about 5 years old) can join in the fun without needing to read complex instructions. Parents love that each session is just 15 minutes, so energy levels stay high and meltdowns stay low. It’s the kind of place that turns a regular Saturday afternoon into a memory-making highlight for families visiting or living in Canberra’s south. **What to Bring** Wear comfortable shoes—there’s a lot of excited movement. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated between sessions. A light jacket is useful if you’re coming straight from another activity and want to keep the kids comfortable. Pack a small snack for after playtime, especially if visiting during school holidays. **Best Age Range** Best for 5–12 year olds. Younger kids can join with an adult, but most games are designed for school-aged children. **Good to Know** Sessions run every 15 minutes and cost $10 per child, $12 per adult, or $40 for a family pass (2 adults + 2 kids). No bookings required—just walk in and pay at the counter. Weekday afternoons are quieter; weekends fill up fast, especially during school holiday activities in Canberra. The arcade is fully indoors, so it’s a great rainy-day option for kids activities in Greenway. **Nearby** After your session, head to the playground at Gervy Park in Fyshwick, Canberra for some fresh air and extra playtime just 10 minutes away. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends—it gets packed by 10am. Let the kids choose their favourite game first—they usually want to go back to it. Bring a spare change of clothes, just in case someone gets too into their virtual adventure.
