Zero Gravity Laser Tag and Arcade

Zero gravity is fun, my only concern is the vests and laser guns have need used for about a decade now and should probably be replaced. Arcade games are also always fun to kill time in between rounds and staff are decent. All in all, its fun and if you need to kill some time its worth it.

A group of 15 adults went on a Wednesday night for $ 5 games — we had a ball. The stadium is a good size, only had a a few equipment issues.
We also loved the arcade with Skee Ball and air hockey.

This is a small laser tag and arcade, which makes up a bit for its teeny size by being clean and fairly well-​run.
The laser tag: the arena is multi-​leveled, with the second tier a bit smaller. It doesn’t lend itself well to organizing teams and the maze is fairly simple to solve, but it’s constructed solidly (I’ve been so some laser tag that was pretty rickety) and takes high traffic well. The arena can fit about 25 or so players at once and the suit-​up area is common to both red and blue teams. There’s a vaguely Halo-​like design element, and it’s all under black light. (Pro tip: don’t wear white, or you’ll glow like a firefly for your opponents.) Laser tag is $ 8 for a 15-​minute game, with discounts of a buck or two off for committing to two or three games in advance. It’s pretty fun but seems pretty pricey on a dollar per hour entertainment budget. The results are continually scrolled on large LCD screens throughout the place — you can follow in real-​time too but that’s almost pointless since everybody uses the «code name» of their suit («James Bond» «Titan» «Master Chief» etc.), which people on the outside can’t know in advance.
The arcade is also small and serves the purpose of filling up the time between laser tag matches. The arcade has two small groups of machines. One are larger-​screen recent-​vintage video games that eat up a dollar a play (Fast and Furious, some shooting stuff, that dance game), a few of which have multiplayer modes. The other half are ticket-​spewing games, including two small skee-​ball machines and the crypto-​gambling machines (quarter grabbers, video slots for tickets). As ever with the latter, it’s a cycle of taking your $ 20 bills, getting quarters, inserting the quarters into machines where you get tickets, then feeding the tickets into a machine that gives you a slip of paper you can use to exchange for trinkets and prizes which you could’ve bought elsewhere in greater quantity and quality with that $ 20 bill… I have never seen the point or gotten enough fun out of the exchange process to make it seem worthwhile, but your mileage may vary.
In any event, the arcade half has no pinball so I’m not interested, being an old fart. Yes, I was there for a kid birthday party, of course. There were three other birthday parties going on at the same time and I was moderately impressed how much fun was being had by both the set of pre-​tween boys I was with and the large party of teenaged girls in another group.
There are four birthday party rooms, your basic windowless rooms with a couple of tables with the standard issue pizza for the main course. That said, the staff were extremely nice and good with the kids, diligent, and courteous and friendly in general. And in the laser tag arena they kept the rules enforced without being jerks, and were proactive about the maintenance of the belts and armor.
I’ve been to a few more «adult-​oriented» laser tags, that had significantly bigger playing areas and were set up for Friday-​night steam-​letting-​off, and if I were going on my own I’d probably bypass Zero Gravity. But being a bit more shrunken down and basic this is probably a better approach for kids. So rec’d on that basis, particularly for the birthday party rotation.
Disclaimer: I was disappointed to discover that gravity was in fact earth-​normal One Gee here.
