From the reviews
Amazing place! Bought a membership to let the kiddos kick around, while I grab a beer and watch the game. By time we get home the littles are exhausted and fall right to sleep. Cleaner than Catapult and Defy which means my kids not coming back with the ick. 5 stars!
I recently had my son’s birthday party here and he had an absolute blast! The party rooms were huge and were able to accommodate our big family. The staff was amazing and friendly, they set up all the decorations and went above and beyond even came in to sing happy birthday to our kiddo!
This is a nice little place to take younger kids. The staff is friendly and the snack bar is reasonably priced. They don't have a huge arcade area, but the climbing area looks great and the bounce house room was also nice. Restrooms and floors were clean.
Took a chance on a new place for my son’s birthday and it was incredible. We were greeted nicely as soon as we walked in. When we got to our area, they had decorations set up and the host was really attentive. The pizza was good. The arcade was bigger than I expected. My favorite part was the cleanliness.
Birthday parties at Charlie's Safari Family Fun Center
Charlie's Safari Family Fun Center hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Laser tag parties usually come with a party host who runs the games, wrangles the group between rounds, and handles setup and cleanup — so parents can mostly watch the mayhem. Packages typically bundle a set number of games with a party room, pizza, and drinks, and many venues add private arena time for bigger groups. One thing to plan for here: a signed waiver is required — send the venue's waiver link to the other parents with the invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular arenas.
Adult laser tag at Charlie's Safari Family Fun Center
Charlie's Safari Family Fun Center comes up for adult play — adult nights, leagues, date-night sessions, or corporate team events, going by reviews and the venue's own info. Adult sessions mean full-speed games without dodging seven-year-olds, and venues that run them often take group bookings for work outings. Schedules vary a lot venue to venue, so check the calendar or call before you rally the squad.
