Brilliant for car-mad kids and grown-ups, though it’s more thrills than cuddles and snacks.

The long read worth saving for nap time

What’s it actually like?

VRROOM is a virtual race room in Sussex offering sim racing rigs, including hydraulically active seats that move as you steer. It sounds properly serious rather than a gimmicky arcade setup, with cars, tracks, time attacks and events such as Nürburgring Mondays. The big win here is the atmosphere: the staff come across as passionate, patient and supportive, especially with first-timers. Reviewers mention excellent equipment, good value, plenty of options to try, and a space that feels roomy enough for a proper session. Several people said the kids loved it, which is always a useful sign. What to know: this is not soft play with a steering wheel. It’s challenging, especially if you’ve never done sim racing, and younger children may struggle. There’s no mention of café quality or family facilities in the reviews, so those are unknown. It sounds like a great indoor option for older children and teens, but not somewhere to expect a gentle sit-down-and-watch sort of visit.
