Community Spotlight: Wonderverse Chicago
At The Glover Team, we love highlighting exciting local destinations that bring our community together, and Wonderverse by Sony Pictures is one you absolutely need to experience! Located just 20 minutes west of Chicago at Oakbrook Center, this massive 45,000-square-foot entertainment hub is a one-of-a-kind spot for families, friends, and anyone looking to unleash their inner adventurer.
We had the pleasure of visiting Wonderverse and sitting down with Cecelia, the Manager, to get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this place so special, and let us tell you, it’s nothing short of amazing.
Step Into Your Favorite Movies with VR Experiences
Wonderverse brings your favorite Sony Pictures movies to life with immersive VR adventures. Fans can experience Jumanji: Reverse the Curse, where you step into the shoes of Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, or Karen Gillan’s characters to hunt down a stolen jewel and stop the spread of evil. This game is best enjoyed with a crew of four, perfect for a family or friend adventure!
If Ghostbusters is more your style, the Ghostbusters Virtual Reality Academy lets you train as a real Ghostbuster. Jump into the ECTO hovercraft for a high-speed BLITZ race, then suit up with proton packs to capture evil spirits. It’s thrilling, interactive, and full of laughs.
Uncover Secrets in the Uncharted Escape Rooms
For puzzle lovers, Wonderverse features Uncharted Escape Rooms inspired by the popular film. With three unique rooms, the Church, the Auction, and the Galleon, guests can solve cryptic puzzles, find hidden treasure, and test their teamwork skills. We had a blast navigating the Galleon, racing against pirates, and uncovering bags of gold before time ran out!
Enjoy the Hidden Ghostbusters Speakeasy
After an action-packed adventure, adults can unwind at the Ghostbusters Ghost Trap Speakeasy. This hidden gem features a wrap-around bar, cozy leather seating, a fireplace, ambient lighting, and even floating spirits! Sip themed cocktails while taking in iconic portraits from the films, a perfect mix of fun and sophistication.
Play Your Way Through Pacific Playland
Fans of Zombieland will love Pacific Playland, a carnival-inspired arcade with bumper cars, classic games, and plenty of opportunities to win prizes. It’s fast-paced, entertaining, and a must-see for arcade lovers of all ages.
Delight Your Taste Buds
Wonderverse isn’t just about games and adventures, it’s also a culinary destination. Chicago-based Chef Scott Donaldson leads the kitchen, serving up crowd favorites like fried mac & cheese balls, Baracoa Fuego fries, Classic Smash Burgers, and a 12 oz. Angus ribeye with mashed potatoes.
The Commissary Bar offers creative cocktails inspired by movies, like the ‘You Had Me At Hello’ and the ‘Bullet Train,’ along with desserts like the ‘My Weakness is Cake’ and S’More Ghost. After a day of VR battles, escape rooms, and arcade fun, these treats are the perfect way to wrap up your visit.
