Laser Storm of Torrance

What fun! I haven’t read the low reviews yet, but I can’t image what other folks didn’t like. We came as a group of 8 and had a blast!
The Good:
— new equipment
— waited about 15 minutes on a Friday evening
— friendly guys giving us instruction
— the super fun of laser tag!
— easy parking
— $ 6 is full price on a Friday
The Bad:
— there is no place to sit, so that’s kind of annoying
Definitely a great choice for a group of friends.

I came here about 2 weeks ago, and it was actually pretty fun. First you pay, put on some gear, watch a video, then you are on your way. You are either red or green team, then you battle. It’s $ 5 a game.

The young adventures rolled into the briefing room to watch a dvd about the using the laser tag equipment and the important house rules on safety. The playroom has been redesigned with cool barriers and gear since the last time we played. Geared up we charge into battle with some of our red team playing sniper and others moving around the obstacles on secret mission to shot the enemy’s base. Each player can use 200 rounds and take 4 hits before they need to recharge, and the laser guns can be either full auto or semi so set it to spray! The equipment emits sounds like ‘Good Hit’ which encourages the youngest soldiers to put up a strong fight against the older kids. $ 5 dollars lasts for a long 8 minutes so adults can get a good cardio sweat going too!

We had our sons birthday party here, and we also did a birthday party here two years ago. The difference between the two was night and day. They have remodeled the place and the layout inside is so much better. I could also tell they really trained the staff well since our last party. We were assigned two high schoolers who worked there (who hosted our party), and they were polite, professional and attended to us the entire time. The three adults in our party noticed how well they were serving us.
We did the 10am party slot, and the hosts let us in about 15 minutes early to set up. We got 3 laser tag games, pizza and drinks. Another party was next door to us and they did a good job coordinating our times.
I would definitely recommend is place for a child’s birthday party. Great job to the management for making some much needed upgrades (other than the restrooms; those could still use some work). We noticed the new training, the birthday button, etc… It was all great. Thank you!

The new set up is great however one of your employees on Friday night seemed miserable… Not friendly AT ALL… She definitely seemed like she did not want to be there and was not helpful at all… she lead us to our room and left us for about 10 min did not start the video that a couple of us didn’t see butcher she came back I said the video never stated she said well all of you have seen it. (Wrong)… Anyway you might want to have a chat about customer service and having a smile and being friendly it goes a long way… My son loved it there but like I said a miserable employee can make a huge impact on the experience

Needs more security. There was this little girl running around in the dark without a vest.
Other than that,
We really had fun and staff are nice.

Thanks Chad for helping the red team kick the green teams butt.
Day 2 coming here and my kids and I had a blast.

Incompetent teenager employees. I was told different information on the phone than when I got here.
It also smells like feet.

Get your workout on gals and guys.
Laser tag is a great way to enjoy family time and get some exercise in at the same time.
No matter what the weather wear something comfortable and cool, you make walk in freezing but you will walk out sweaty if your really participating. If you just got your hair done you may wanna reconsider lol.
The laser room is nice I guess for having some place to run, hide and jump out of but I only have one other place to compare it to.
I didn’t like the gun with having to hold a button at the top to shoot and two buttons for rapid fire.
they said 200 rounds before reloading but it seemed more like ten hence the reason I was sweating having to run back to reload so often.
we were only able to get one game in since they had a huge party coming in, they definitely need more rooms to keep up with the crowd. other than that it was an ok experience. I would definitely go back but I also would like to try some other places to get a better comparison.

My kids have been invited to endless birthday parties that occur here (and are often linked with Gable Bowling) and they ALWAYS have a great time. Seriously one month my 10 year old daughter had been 5 times in the month and not once did she say «Again?!» She couldn’t wait to go beat her personal record and dominate!
The facility has birthday parties down to a well-​scheduled science and cart the overlapping birthday parties in and out of the laser tag room then back to the party room with amazing precision. They are great about you bringing in your own food or (I think) offer food options themselves. The kids always enjoy winding down with the video games at the end.
Well finally, I broke down and had to try it myself and despite my bum knee, I ran around that room and felt like a sniper and an action movie star chasing down 10 year olds and maybe one other adult. They change the set up of the room every so often as well so it doesn’t get old.
Having never been to laser tag, I don’t have any basis for comparison and now that I finally dove in and went for it, I look forward to trying others! Personally, I feel like this was just the right place to get introduced to the sport! Simple — shoot til you’re out, return to the home base to wave your gun in front of the base to get restocked, then get back out there!
Our Three-​thumb review is 2 ½ thumbs up! My daughter feels like she owns the place and the playing field and plays HARD! My teen likes going but perhaps may be outgrowing this field a bit and needs to take it up a notch to entice him. Plus, laser tag has to compete with «real» paint ball and bb guns for his interest. Personally I want to go back with a bunch of adults (and leave the kids home) for unlimited play nights!

We came here for some laser tag. They told us to come back in an hour and a half since there was a birthday party would go before us.
We went to bowl for an hour and a half and waited until our time came.
When we showed up, they told us that we could not play anymore since the system is now down and there is already a lot of people waiting.

Came here for a birthday party and it a great place for fun even though I got shot up a lot. The thing I hate is that in a close space there is no AC. I am sweating balls and even when I walk out there is no air. There is a lot if ppl and no air circulation in the room. It has been awhile since I been here and like the new change they did.

I came here for a team building event a couple of days ago and I must say we ALL had a great time!
We had teams of 6 each. We had 2 people stay back at the base and four of us would charge towards the other team’s base. I was pleasantly surprised how fun it was to go around and shoot others while running back to your base to replenish your hit points.
I’m definitely coming back :)

I grew up coming here for years and have SO many great memories here. But tonight was the first time we played in their new area since the update and it was FREAKING AWESOME!!! The arena is soooo much better than the old lay-​out. There’s no more dividing barrier between teams so its more intense with the suspense of knowing there’s no where to hide. My team split up between offense to go get the other teams pod, and defense to protect ours. The recharge stations are run-​by so there’s no time-​consuming line to energize. And the barriers are three-​demensional and AWESOMELY set-​up. I totally felt like James Bond with all the places to sneak around and sniper shoot through. The new gear is nice too, no more stinky dead packs!
Overall, I totally broke a sweat playing and can’t wait to bring more people here for round #2!

I remember coming here in my pre-​teens. Nothing much has changed. Equipment is kind of run down, but it does the job. When you’re with the right and fun people you really can’t go wrong with this place. I didn’t expect to break a sweat running around, but I did.
The workers could be a little more friendly. You watch a video on how to use the equipment before you play. My friends were talking in the middle of it. Rather than asking politley, «Can everyone please keep it down and watch the video.» The worker literally just yelled «EVERYONE BE QUIET AND WATCH THE VIDEO!» That was extremely rude and unprofessional. Then again, when we were paying all of these teenage workers were just crowed up in the corner talking. Whatever.

Something fun and different to do? Sure.
Something cheap and great for a date? Sure.
Something inexpensive and thoughtless. Sure.
Other than that– there’s not much to mention. Guns don’t work all of the time. The course is super cheap looking and out-​dated.
Staff is nice.
Parking is abundant.

Recently came here for a birthday party my daughter was invited to. Looks pretty old school inside, but my kid seemed to have a lot of fun. Party had a private room with nice tablecloths and food and a neat laser tag cake. They also have a variety of arcade games, besides the actual laser tag which is pretty awesome itself.

As a child born and raised in good old Torrance, this place is what comes to mind when you hear «laser tag.» Granted, I had never stepped one foot in the place, but I just always thought when I did play laser tag that this is where I’d go. Enter: circumstances that lead me to going to other places. My first two experiences with laser tag included second story forts I could snipe people from and bases you could shoot and take over for your team’s color. It was AH-​mazing.
Enter: circumstances that finally lead me to laser storm. My department at work does monthly team events where we have a $ 10/​person budget. It usually means happy hour and a beer or two. As official overlord of the party planning committee, I was ready to shake it up… with laser tag. So let’s be clear, we had the best time. You can come here and enjoy it, but you’re going to be seriously let down with the facility if you ever played laser tag anywhere else in your life.
It’s one medium-​sized room. You get on teams that are split up by plastic dividers. The only areas to shoot the other team are located on the ear set or inside of their gun. That’s it. There’s no trigger on the gun but a button located on the back. It’s not really clear if you do shoot someone or if you’re shot, or at least we couldn’t figure it out.
For $ 4.50 a pop we weren’t bitter about it and as I said we had a great time, but the experience itself wasn’t anything impressive.

I used to go to Laser Storm all the time when I was in high school (circa 2003) and I just recently went there again for a small party, and it is COMPLETELY the same. Same vests, same guns, same headsets, same music, same decorations, same arena. And when I say the same, I mean, these things haven’t been updated for a while, so the equipment is SUPER ghetto, and more than HALF of it doesn’t work. I played 4 games the other night, and out of the 4, I only got 1 set that sort of worked. Either the vest didn’t have buckles so it was tied up and you had to squeeze yourself in, the headsets weren’t adjustable or didn’t say anything so you didn’t know if you were in or out, the gun trigger would get jammed or the gun just didn’t shoot a laser at all so you had no idea what you were shooting at. They told us you didn’t have to wear the headsets on your ears since they weren’t adjustable, which was cheating back in my day because then you can’t see the blinking lights to shoot at. Also on one side of the arena, one of the pods didn’t work, so we all had to huddle around one pod to start off the game.
One of the rooms was under construction too, so we all had to wait for one room, and play the same arena each time, which was a bit lame. If they would have told us that one room was down, then we might have considered booking our party elsewhere. Hopefully since the room is under construction, it means that they’re finally updating something there. However, if they don’t update the guns, vest, and headsets, then it’s not worth it. I had fun because of the people I was with, but mostly we were just making fun of the ghetto equipment like the 1990s bar code scanner guns. I definitely would NOT plan another party there though.
