SAFETY GUIDELINES (The Rules)


Health & Safety Notices

! Required Reading 

General Health Advisory 

Virtual reality experiences can cause motion sickness, dizziness, nausea, or disorientation in some individuals. If you have a history of epilepsy, seizures, heart conditions, inner ear disorders, or any neurological condition, please consult your physician before participating. Do not enter the experience if you are feeling unwell, fatigued, or have consumed alcohol.

 

! Photosensitivity Warning 

Flashing Lights & Strobing Effects 

This experience contains flashing lights, strobing effects, and rapidly changing visual sequences that may affect individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or light sensitivity. If you or someone in your group is photosensitive, please speak with a staff member before entering. Participation is at your own discretion.

 

Pregnancy Advisory 

Pregnant Guests 

We strongly advise against participation during pregnancy. The immersive nature of VR — including movement simulation, visual intensity, and headset use — may cause discomfort or disorientation. We encourage expectant guests to enjoy the experience from our dedicated viewing area alongside their companions.

 

Age Restriction 

Age Requirements by Experience 

Free-Roaming VR Experience: 

Children under the age of 12 are not permitted in the free-roaming VR experience. The physical demands of the environment, combined with headset sizing and spatial awareness requirements, make this experience unsuitable for younger children. Guests aged 12 and older are welcome, with children under 18 requiring a parent or guardian present. 


Seated VR Experience: 

A seated VR experience is available and open to younger children. However, headset use is not recommended for children under the age of 8 due to potential impacts on early visual development and headset fit. Parents and guardians are responsible for determining what is appropriate for their child.

 

Your Comfort During the Experience

During the Experience 

Need Help? Raise Your Hand 

If at any point you feel uncomfortable, dizzy, or need to stop, simply raise your hand and a staff member will come to you immediately. You do not need to remove the headset yourself — our team will guide you through it safely. There is no need to feel embarrassed; your well-being always comes first. You may exit the experience at any time

 

Seating & Viewing Options

Support Seating Inside the Experience Room 

Extra seats are available within the VR space for guests who need to step back, take a break, or recover from any discomfort mid-session. Staff will assist you to a seat immediately upon request.

 

Companion & Observer Seating 

Guests who prefer to watch rather than participate are warmly welcome. Dedicated seating is provided so you can enjoy watching your friends and family experience the adventure without joining the VR simulation yourself.

 

Accessible Accommodations 

All seating areas — including observer areas — are accessible. Please let a staff member know if you require any additional assistance before or during your visit.

 

Wheelchair Assistance 

The exhibition is outfitted with ramps, and all entrances and exits are designed with a wide enough space for manual wheelchairs, canes, walkers, or alternative manual mobility devices. Please note: Motorized wheelchairs are not permitted as they can damage our floor-mounted equipment.


Complimentary wheelchairs are available for guests who require mobility assistance during their visit. Please speak with a staff member upon arrival to request one. Wheelchair availability is subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis, and we recommend notifying us in advance if possible so we can best accommodate your needs. We are committed to making the experience accessible and enjoyable for every guest

 

Accommodations for Deaf/Hearing Impaired

You can still do the experience with hearing aids, but it will not be possible to link them to the headphones. The experience doesn't offer subtitles.

The Organization does not undertake any duty to provide medical care, and I release the Organization from any liability arising from any medical treatment, emergency response decisions, or related services provided under this authorization.

5. Release and Waiver. I hereby fully and forever release and discharge the Organization from, and expressly waive, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, and expenses of any kind, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating to my participation in the Activities, my travel to or from the Activities, or my presence on any premises where the Activities occur.

I understand that this release discharges the organization from any liability or claim that I may have against the organization with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, disease, death, emotional distress, property damage, or property loss that may result from the activities, whether caused by the negligence of the organization or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

I waive any right to inspect or approve such use.

9. Dispute Resolution; Venue. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Release or the Activities shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of Palm Beach County, Florida, to whose jurisdiction and venue I hereby consent, waiving any objection based on inconvenient forum. The Organization may, at its election, require binding arbitration by written notice, and any resulting award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

10. General. This Release constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings.
