What's inside
“These elementary school kids had no tactical strategy and would just bunch up and get mowed down like fish in a barrel.”
“First time coming here when I read that it was a bowling alley/arcade I’m not going to lie I thought the arcade was going to be a whole in the wall.”

From the reviews
We decided to celebrate the birthday of the littlest one in the house and they recommended this place to us. I liked it a lot because it has a little bit of everything, from gaming machines to bowling and laser tag. We loved the pizza, it has a very particular and tasty flavor.
I was very pleasantly surprised! The facility is very clean, and the staff was genial and helpful. No issues getting into a lane quickly and setting up took no time at all. The food was brought out promptly and was pretty good (had mozzarella sticks and tater tots).
First time coming here when I read that it was a bowling alley/arcade I’m not going to lie I thought the arcade was going to be a whole in the wall. Some places throw an arcade in like an after thought but it was a nice size with a nice variety of things.
I just wanted to take a moment to share a really meaningful experience at Spare Time Bristol. I bring my mom here on Tuesday evenings because it’s usually quieter, which helps since she has dementia. Yesterday evening, the two gentlemen working in the prize room were absolutely incredible.
Birthday parties at Spare Time Bristol
Spare Time Bristol 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.
Adult laser tag at Spare Time Bristol
Spare Time Bristol 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.
