From the reviews
We were at Combat Live yesterday for my son's 11th birthday party. We have done a number of parties before, but he has lost interest in some of those options as he's getting a little older. We wanted to do something active that the boys would all enjoy. I am glad I found Combat Live 10/10 experience.
Went father's day, which was also my son's birthday this year, walked in and joined another family and had a blast! Was also pleasantly surprised that dad's play free fathers day! Lots of space and things to hide behind, simple rules and gear, and fun all around!
We had our son’s 12th birthday party here and it was awesome. The kids were exhausted after their hour! Will definitely be coming back in the future! The owner was informative and friendly and for an hour party, it’s well worth the great price!
Our youth group had a great time! It was a lot of fun. Price was reasonable. Thank you! We definitely enjoyed ourselves!

Combat Live Laser Tag 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. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular arenas.
