Virtual reality is the future of entertainment

The Park Playground enables visitors to immerse themselves in virtual reality experiences in a fictitious world where they themselves play the lead role.

As an innovative brand we offer unique and engaging location-based immersive experiences to groups of all sizes and people of all ages. With a rapidly growing library of exclusive VR content, we are on a mission to bring the future of entertainment to a global audience.

Launched in 2018, The Park Playground has since expanded to 13 cities in 4 countries with over 50 venues. We have more venues in development in prime locations and territories being reserved across the globe.

We have a strong 100% own IP based library of VR experiences and are in partnership talks with big studios, which will allow us to use more branded content.

What also sets us apart is we use the most innovative VR setup in the market, with no cables or backpacks. Using the latest technology available, franchisees can provide a more reliable, efficient, and smooth experience for both the player and the operator.

If you are looking to join a proactive, forward-thinking and fun franchise network, we look forward to supporting you in achieving your business dreams and goals.

We have opportunities in Ireland and Globally for master franchisees.  Can be discussed in more detail with our Franchise Development Manager.
