Baltimore’s entertainment scene is entering a new dimension with the arrival of Sandbox VR, an immersive virtual reality gaming experience opening in Harbor East on May 22, 2026.

Located at 720 Aliceanna Street, Suite A, the new venue marks the first SandboxVR location in Maryland and introduces a cutting-edge social gaming experience to Baltimore City. The attraction combines advanced virtual reality technology with interactive gameplay, allowing groups of up to six players to explore digital worlds together in real time.

Unlike traditional gaming experiences, SandboxVR fully immerses participants using VR headsets, haptic vests, ankle and wrist trackers, and 3D motion capture technology. Players can physically move throughout the gaming space while interacting with virtual environments and teammates. Fans built into the rooms also simulate realistic wind effects, adding another layer to the experience.

The venue features nine different games designed for a range of interests and skill levels, making it appealing to families, friend groups, tourists, and corporate team-building outings alike.

“We’re thrilled to bring SandboxVR to Harbor East’s dynamic community, providing an innovative entertainment experience that blends cutting-edge technology with social engagement while enhancing what Harbor East has to offer,” said Tim O’Donald, president of Harbor East. “We invite guests to try out this exciting new concept and make a day of it — enjoy some shopping, then unwind with a waterfront cocktail!”

As virtual reality entertainment continues to grow in popularity nationwide, Harbor East leaders believe SandboxVR will further strengthen the neighborhood’s reputation as one of Baltimore’s premier destinations for dining, shopping, nightlife, and entertainment.

Owned and managed by Baltimore-based developers, Harbor East has transformed over the years from a former industrial area into one of the city’s most vibrant waterfront communities. Today, the district includes restaurants, luxury hotels, retail spaces, office buildings, entertainment venues, and residential developments spanning more than 5.5 million square feet.

The opening of SandboxVR adds another modern attraction to the neighborhood while expanding Baltimore’s growing list of interactive entertainment experiences.
