If someone asked you to picture a VR ride in Lake Geneva, a hot pink boutique probably wouldn’t be your first guess.
And yet, that’s exactly where one of the most unexpected and talked-about VR experiences in town lives — inside Bonded by Gigi.
The Surprise Is the Point
People walk into Bonded by Gigi expecting color, creativity, and fun. What they don’t expect is to suddenly realize there’s a full VR ride right there in the space.
That moment of surprise — “wait… is that a VR ride?” — instantly changes the vibe. It turns a shopping stop into an experience. People stop, watch, laugh, and start asking questions. When someone’s riding it, it naturally draws a crowd.
It doesn’t feel tucked away or hidden. It becomes part of the energy of the room.
Why This VR Ride Feels Different
This isn’t a solo, isolated headset experience.
The VR ride is two-person, which makes it perfect for friends, couples, and groups. You ride next to someone you know, reacting together in real time. When it’s not your turn, you’re watching your friends go through it — filming reactions, cheering them on, and laughing at the jump scares.
That shared experience is exactly why people remember it.
Movement, Wind, and Real Reactions
This isn’t passive VR.
The ride moves with the experience. You feel motion, tilts, and bursts of air — especially during drops, fast movement, or jump-scare moments. Whether you’re flying, racing, or diving into something unexpected, it’s immersive enough to get genuine reactions.
And those reactions are half the fun for everyone watching.
Experiences for Every Comfort Level
One of the reasons this VR ride works for such a wide range of visitors is that you choose your level of thrill.
Available experiences include:
-
roller coasters
-
haunted house
-
jet pack adventures
-
dinosaur park
-
under the sea
-
alien battle
Some are more intense. Others are calmer and more immersive. That flexibility makes it approachable for all ages and personalities — no pressure, no one-size-fits-all experience.
Easy, Quick, and No Appointment Needed
Unlike a lot of attractions, this VR ride doesn’t require planning ahead.
It’s a quick, immersive experience that fits easily into a Lake Geneva day. No appointment is needed, which makes it perfect for spontaneous stops, group outings, or filling a gap in your plans. It’s also a great rainy-day activity — or honestly, a great any day activity when you want something fun and different.
Why People Don’t Expect It — And Why They Love It
Finding a VR ride inside a boutique feels unexpected in the best way.
It breaks routine.
It snaps people out of autopilot.
It adds movement and excitement to the day.
And because it’s part of a larger experience — permanent jewelry, creative activities, and a space designed for connection — it doesn’t feel random. It feels intentional.
That’s why this stop is often mentioned alongside everything else people love about the space:
