• "The actual immersive experience itself is amazing - no spoilers but manages to be both funny and terrifying!"

• "A really wonderful feast for the senses -sight, sound, touch and even smell!"

Cons:

• "The graphics of the VR aspects are slightly dated, but didn’t distract from the experience."
• "I'm a wotw fan, my partner not so much her thing, but enjoyed it all the same that's way I think she took me there for our second visit, definitely not our last."
• "However the VR while being gimicky and fun it's your cast that make it the experience worth while and deserve the praise, they made the experience what it is."
• "The VR sections were very good and brought everything to life. It was expensive for the tickets and not sure if the prices charged reflected the true worth."

• "I absolutely loved my experience at War of the World's, so original & the actors were outstanding, not braking character once."

• "The actors were excellent and had you involved from the off."
• "I'm a wotw fan, my partner not so much her thing, but enjoyed it all the same that's way I think she took me there for our second visit, definitely not our last."
