Trying the VR ride at Bonded by Gigi is one of those experiences that’s hard to fully explain until you see it — and then it instantly makes sense why people stop, watch, and decide to try it themselves.
It’s quick, immersive, and unexpectedly fun in a way that fits perfectly into a Lake Geneva day.
First Impressions: This Is Not Where You Expect VR
Most people walk into Bonded by Gigi expecting a bold, hot pink boutique experience. What they don’t expect is to notice a full VR ride right there in the space.
That moment of surprise is part of the fun. When someone’s riding it, the movement, reactions, and laughter naturally draw attention. It doesn’t feel hidden or separate — it feels like part of the energy of the room.
How the VR Ride Works
The VR ride is a two-person experience, which makes it especially fun for friends, couples, and groups. You sit side by side with someone you know, put on the headset, and choose the type of experience you want.
Each ride lasts about 5–10 minutes, depending on which experience you select. It’s long enough to feel fully immersive, but short enough that it’s easy to fit into your visit without committing a huge chunk of time.
The cost is $10 per person, making it an easy add-on to a day out rather than a big decision.
The Experiences You Can Choose From
One of the best parts is that you’re not locked into one type of ride. You can pick your level of thrill based on what sounds fun to you.
Available experiences include:
-
roller coasters
-
haunted house
-
jet pack adventures
-
dinosaur park
-
under the sea
-
alien battle
Some experiences are more intense, with sudden movement or jump scares. Others are calmer and more exploratory. That flexibility makes it approachable for all ages and comfort levels.
What It Feels Like During the Ride
This isn’t a passive VR experience.
The ride moves with what you’re seeing. You’ll feel tilts, motion, and bursts of air — especially during fast drops, flying moments, or surprises. If you’re going downhill, you feel it. If something jumps out, the movement and airflow make it feel real enough to spark genuine reactions.
Those reactions are half the fun, especially when your friends are watching nearby.
Why It’s So Fun With Other People
Even when you’re not on the ride, it’s entertaining.
People laugh, film reactions, and hype each other up while taking turns. Because it’s a two-person ride, it feels shared instead of isolating. And because it’s quick, there’s no long waiting or downtime.
It naturally becomes one of those moments groups talk about afterward — not because it was planned, but because it was unexpected.
Easy, Flexible, and No Appointment Needed
One of the biggest perks is how easy it is to try.
There’s no appointment required, so you can decide to do it on the spot. That makes it perfect for spontaneous visits, group outings, birthdays, or filling a gap in your plans. It’s also a great rainy-day activity when you still want something fun and interactive.
Why People End Up Trying It “Just Because”
A lot of people don’t come to Bonded by Gigi planning to do a VR ride.
They notice it.
They watch someone else go.
They laugh.
And then they say, “Okay, we have to try that.”
That spontaneity is exactly why the VR ride works so well here — it feels like a bonus experience you didn’t know you were getting.
