From the reviews

New owners! And wow what a difference it's been! Service is better, lanes are better maintained, people are friendlier and food is better. We quit coming here for several years and will now be here muchrpe often. Been here a few times in the last couple of months. The new AR game center is super cool as well.

My aunt Nana and I were looking for a fun place to bowl and I suggested that we come here since my friend had a birthday here once. We were blown away by the arcade and played there for a good hour or so before bowling.

We love coming here, especially on days that don't let us get outside! Food is decent, bowling isn't too expensive and there's just enough games to keep kids occupied for a while. The staff are great as well!

★★★★★ — Dakota, Jun 2021

Great place to spend time, fun for all ages. We went there with kids and grandkids. Everyone had fun. The bowling, arcade, virtual games etc were all modernized and newly remodeled. Outdoor beer garden soon to open too! We didn’t eat but the sports bar was busy. Will visit again.

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.
