School Trip

FAQ

• School Trip

  • What exactly is a VR School Trip?

    A School Trip at VRcafe is a combination of fun, teamwork and technology. Students step into virtual worlds, solve puzzles, race or play together in teams. Everything is guided by experienced hosts who manage the pace and atmosphere.

  • For which ages or classes is it suitable?

    We welcome school groups from around 7 years old (primary school to secondary school). The games and explanations are always adjusted to the age and experience level of the students.

  • How should we prepare for the School Trip?

    It is useful to let us know the number of students and supervisors in advance, together with any important details (such as glasses, limited mobility or sensitivity to stimuli). This allows us to prepare the program and games properly.

  • What does a School Trip at VRcafe look like?

    Upon arrival, our hosts provide a short explanation and demonstration. After that, the class plays different VR games in rounds, such as Laser Tag, VR Experience or a VR Escape Room. Students who are not playing at that moment can watch on the screens or cheer each other on.

  • Can you also make the School Trip educational?

    Yes, absolutely. VR is not only fun, but also educational. Students discover new technology, train teamwork skills and gain insight into modern applications of virtual reality in the real world.

• Bookings

  • How do I book a VR Experience in Haarlem?

    Booking is easy via the Book button on our website. Choose your activity, select 60, 90 or 120 minutes, enter the number of players and pick a time slot. You’ll immediately see available times and receive a confirmation by email.

  • Which time slots are available and what time do you recommend?

    You can book daily within our opening hours. Available time slots are shown live in the booking system. Weekdays are usually quieter, ideal for smaller groups. Weekends and holidays are busier — book in advance. For groups or those wanting to try multiple games, we recommend 90 or 120 minutes.

  • How much does a booking cost and what is included?

    The price depends on duration (60/90/120 min) and timing (weekday/weekend). Included: short briefing, guidance from a host, use of VR headsets & controllers, hygiene covers, and the option to switch between multiple games. Not included (optional): food & drinks, private session, or some premium and escape titles with a small surcharge.

  • Can we come with more than 11 people?

    We have 11 play areas, so 11 people can play at the same time. If you come with more than 11, we rotate in rounds; the host manages teams and quick switches. Advice: 9–12 players → 90–120 min; 13+ → 120 min or two slots. Not every title supports 11 players; the host selects suitable games. For VR Racing: max 4 at once.

  • Can I change or cancel my booking?

    You can cancel or modify your booking via the website or by contacting us. Please note that cancellation fees may apply depending on how far in advance you cancel or change. You can also add cancellation insurance directly when booking.
