Sandbox VR, the world leader in location-based virtual reality experiences, is bringing the prehistoric era to life with its latest immersive adventure, Sandbox VR, launching at all Sandbox VR locations worldwide on 3 April 2026, including London and Birmingham. Tickets are now available for pre-booking here.
Explore a Prehistoric World in Stunning VR
Age of Dinosaurs invites guests on an unforgettable expedition to the heart of a dinosaur-filled world. Designed with young adventurers and families in mind, the experience combines cutting-edge VR technology with educational storytelling, allowing participants to meet life-like dinosaurs and learn about their habitats. Developed in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, London and renowned palaeontologist Dr Darren Naish, the experience features some of the most realistic 3D dinosaurs ever created in VR — from every scale and muscle to the movement of each creature.
With Sandbox VR’s full-body tracking and haptic vests, players can feel the tremors of a Brachiosaurus’ footsteps or the rush of wind from soaring pterosaurs, delivering a sensation far beyond what at-home VR systems can achieve.
A Blend of Entertainment and Science
Sandbox VR is no stranger to immersive storytelling. Their slate of experiences includes the Netflix-backed Stranger Things: Catalyst and the original Deadwood series, all developed in-house by veteran creators from EA, Sony, and Ubisoft. The company’s partnership with the Natural History Museum ensures that Age of Dinosaurs is not only thrilling but scientifically accurate, inspiring young audiences to learn about the natural world.
Maxine Lister, Head of Licensing at the Natural History Museum, said: “Age of Dinosaurs is a thrilling adventure from the teams at Sandbox VR, the Museum, and Dr Darren Naish, with entertainment and cutting-edge science colliding in an epic prehistoric journey.”
Sandbox VR CEO Steve Zhao added: “With Age of Dinosaurs, guests don’t just watch history — they step directly inside it. Our goal is to push the boundaries of VR while making science accessible and exciting for audiences worldwide.”
Expanding Global Reach
The launch comes as Sandbox VR continues to expand, operating across 80+ locations worldwide. The company has sold over 5 million tickets globally and is recognised as one of Fast Company’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies. Collaborations like this one with the Natural History Museum highlight how cultural institutions can harness immersive technology to reach new audiences and inspire a love of science beyond museum walls.
For those in the UK, London and Birmingham visitors now have a chance to experience this unique fusion of entertainment, education, and VR technology. More information and ticket booking is available here.
