My son had his 8^th birthday party here this past weekend. The kids enjoyed themselves. It was a little chaotic as the guests arrived at 1230 but games did not start until 1pm. However the clerks kept the kids occupied during the wait with some fun interactive games. The pizza arrived on time and we actually were able to get in the party room earlier than expected. Our host Nicolas Gay was amazing!!! He checked to make sure everything was running smoothly! The only recommendation I would give … bring quarters. the kids wanted to play air hockey in between laser tag and its about $ 1 per game. The toilet paper shooter was a huge hit! … Thanks Laser Quest for a great party!

My boyfriend threw a birthday party for his nine year old son, the time was 230−43010pm. He arrived at 140pm thinking he could set up, boy was he wrong. I arrived at 230 and the guest were just wandering around the lobby, as was every one else to play laser tag. Minimal seats, no direction. So apparently you don’t get the room for the party until AFTER you play laser tag, for however many games you buy. So we didn’t get into the room until about 415 and then they were rushing us to get out. They forgot the drinks and didn’t provide them until we were almost done with the pizza, it was a mess and we won’t be going back. The guy behind the counter was nice, Brian and gave us a couple of free games to return. That place is not big enough for all the parties they book. There were at least 6 – 7 going on in the three hours we were there but only three actual designated spaces for a party which is why they rush you out of the space…

At Laser Quest as I type this review. I am having almost the exact same experience as Nicole B. Party for 9 year old with 15 guests from 12:30 to 2:45 PM. Was told we wouldn’t have a room or pizza till 2PM. And kids have to mingle and pay for arcade games till 1PM. They have 3 party rooms and are evidently trying to run 3 events through each room in the span of 1 reservation. We complained and at least a manager realized not all rooms were being used so can sit down. Kid who hosts the games trying to be helpful. But no food for these little kids till 2 PM. Never coming again. Poor business model.

We got the Birthday deal, with a room to have the party. I was pleasantly surprised at the fun activities they had,. We all had a great time and the staff was very friendly. I think the best part according to the Birthday boy was being toilet papered by a toilet paper shooter. I must say that was funny. Prices were reasonable too.

My son and I had a BLAST! The playing field is huge and technical; really well put together! Will be back with my friends

I decided to have a birthday party here for my eight year old and it was a big mistake! I was never told that I wouldn’t have a party room until 2:00pm until I got there and had already paid my deposit when I booked the party. They told me to arrive by 12:30pm so I did and so did the other 12 kids and their parents. We sat around in a CROWDED small place with presents for an hour and a half. The kids were not entertained and the games cost money that was not included in the birthday package. Laser tag games did not start until 1:00pm & 1:30pm. We did not get our party room until 2:00pm and had to be out by 2:45pm. Poor planning on Laser Quest part as if I was told this in advance, I WOULD NOT have booked my party here and spent close to $ 400.00. I will not be back and would not recommend this place.

Whenever I’m visiting relatives in this area, we usually play 3 rounds here. The playing area is reasonably sized, and the waiting times to play are not too bad.
Be prepared for the possibility of playing against a huge group of people. But more importantly, have fun!

I could not believe how much fun I had at Laser Quest. I went with my 9 year old nephew who I hope enjoyed himself as well. lol! I wish the space could have been a little bigger because the first group consisted of 6 people which seemed fine but the second group was a much larger group and it was not as fun as the first round. Still, I will go back because it was also a great work out.

This place is pretty fun. Good for all ages.

My 26 yr old boyfriend and I went here on a date recently, because we’re undercover as 8 yr olds. It was SO much fun!
Showed up around 9pm on a Friday night, and it was pretty jammin. We felt stupid old, though. Surrounded by high school kids out past their curfew, LIKE OMG! So, guy behind the counter tells us we’re there just in time for the Ironman Mission. Sounds awesome, let’s DO this. After choosing call signs (I was Goose, he was Maverick), we were ushered in to a briefing room where the «Marshall» proceeded to tell us this was an each-​man-​for-​himself game. Suddenly, the date went from a cutesy team effort to you’re-dead-mutha-effa-DEAD! I spent the next 30 minutes running around like a crazy person chasing and shooting children. Maverick went MIA on me for a bit until I found him perched on the second level sniping everyone with his mad combat training skills. Pfffft. Cheater. He won the entire game. Something like 850 points. He shot EVERYONE. Including me (call signs pop up on your gun when you’re shot, so I KNOW he got me more than once the sneaky SOB).
The course is awesome, huge, dark, mirrors everywhere, multiple levels, tons of places to hide. You really get your money’s worth of play time in this place. You can even rent it out over night for parties… which begs the question, if a bunch of twenty somethings rent it out can we bring booze? Where do I sign? I def wanna go back and try to exact some revenge.
