Into the Park ‘25
Into the Park was back for the third year running! This time we delivered our outdoor day of fun in…
Bentley & Highfields
Featuring Virtual Reality Playground with Studio Go Go.
We were joined by fantastic partners and activities on both days.
The community brought their family and friends, packed a picnic, and enjoyed a free day out!
Virtual Reality Playground with Studio Go Go
Wear a virtual reality headset, jump on a playground swing, and be transported on an exhilarating swing-powered adventure.
VR thrill ride creators, Studio Go Go, bring you Volo: dreams of flight - an exciting da Vinci-inspired virtual reality swing experience.
“Climb aboard a playground swing; don a VR headset; and take flight in one of four award-winning Leonardo da Vinci virtual flying machines! Flap and soar over cliffs as an Ornithopter bird-person; ascend to join a psychedelic aerial ballet in your Helical Screw; shoot into satellite orbit from a renaissance cannon, to (hopefully) float safely back to ground in a Parachute; or bank and weave in a Glider performing across an extra-terrestrial landscape.”
Volo celebrates the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s creations, and is inspired by his fabulous flying contraptions, his studies of flight and his pioneering work on perspective and optical instruments.
Studio Go Go’s founder - Professor Brendan Walker, the World’s Only Thrill Engineer - was originally trained as a military aeronautical engineer and has a similar obsession with flight. He developed Volo to allow you to feel the excitement of human powered flight.
