The Visions VR virtual reality parlor made its debut in Port Clinton this week, as Kassie Anderson and her daughter, Jenn Staib, cut the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce’s blue ribbon to officially open the new gaming and virtual reality shop at 1632 E. Perry St.

A crowd of dignitaries made the scene to experience the unique facilities, including Ottawa County Commissioner Mark Coppeler, who took a ride on a virtual roller coaster and raced cars. To allow bystanders to get in on the adventure, the television screen behind Coppeler displayed the adventures he was seeing on his headset.

Visions VR is open from 1-9 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 1-11 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. on Sunday. For a tour visit visionsvr.com or its Facebook page. (Photos by D’Arcy Egan)
