“It's nothing to do with Viator. It's the event. It was horribly packed and hot. People maintaining need to organise it better as people are coming in but no limit of time to exit. I felt what we did was just stand in packed lines. I have got abhorrence to towers since this Sky tree trip.”
Review of RED° TOKYO TOWER, Tokyo’s digital amusement park with robot battles, VR rides, racing simulators, and active games.
“This was perfect for a night time activity! We booked for 5pm-9pm and it was great! Was worried it would be super busy but there was plenty to do! Definitely need to warm up and stretch before some of the games haha! A few games are not recommended for certain individuals with physical limitations as they require some form exercise, like the jumping one, there’s a skipping one! But these games are all optional, you can just walk around and play some of the other games instead :) Great fun for me and my younger sister! Would definitely recommend 10/10 the best game was the Valo JumpRead more”
