Belgian-based VR arcade chain The Park Playground is continuing its expansion into Western Europe with a new franchise location in Porto, Portugal. This latest addition marks a significant step in the company’s growth, bringing its immersive virtual reality experiences to a new country.

The Park Playground is known for offering a 60-90-minute VR experience featuring a variety of free-roam and room-scale experiences that cater to different interests and age groups. Players gather in the café to prepare for their adventure. They start with simple, single-player games to get their VR legs before moving onto the more intense, thrilling free-roam arenas. Players then gather around for a group experience that tests their fear of heights as they walk a virtual plank.

This expansion into Porto underscores the growing popularity of VR arcades as a form of location-based entertainment in Europe.
