Customer Reviews

Giving Chasers a 3 because the kids had a blast running around like caffeinated superheroes with laser tag, arcade games, and Nerf blasters. It's basically chaos in a fun wrapper. BUT? the service? Let's just say it was more ?hide and seek? than ?host and assist.? They can't serve food (no license), which is fine?but a little help wouldn't hurt. We had to ask for things multiple times, and the host was MIA like she was in her own game of laser tag. The Nerf guns kept jamming, and the solution was ?just pic

I had my daughter's birthday here and everyone had a blast what the laser tag and had a ball playing bubble soccer. And the girl that hosting a party to the great job as well, I would definitely recommend this place for parties. You could even get the whole place for just your party, either in the morning or at night

We brought in a group of over 30 for a scout troop. The staff was helpful and enthusiastic. The laser tag course was big with great aesthetics and well laid out in terms of cover. The boys loved it!

Summer fun with my 3 kids at Chasers Laser Tag- kids aged 5-11 all had a blast playing laser tag and then loved building robots that they got to take home. Definitely a new favorite spot!!

We went as a small group for a Chick-Fil-A event, and Bob the owner was incredibly accommodating and easy to talk to. We had hours of fun with the laser tag, and I got my cardio in for the day. Very affordable pricing, and lots to do beyond the laser tag. We will definitely be back with our larger group in the future, and I would highly recommend coming here. Lots of passion and good times.

We went in as a family of 4, Bob was super friendly and he took time to explain the different games of laser tag. We had a blast [pun intended ;)]. We played a couple arcade games too! They had a jungle gym for under 10yr olds which looked cool. We'll be coming back for sure!

Absolutely fantastic experience at this laser tag venue! Bob was friendly and welcoming, and the facility itself was top-notch. The arena was well-designed with lots of exciting obstacles and areas for strategic play. The equipment was in great condition, and the games were fast-paced and super fun. I also appreciated the clear instructions and safety measures in place. This place is a blast for all ages. Highly recommend for a fun outing with friends or family!

Had a great set up for my daughter?s birthday party. We had our own party room and the kids all had a great time. The kids played video games, laser tag and even a couple games of dodge ball. I was able to bring in our cake and everything we needed. A great space to host a party without having to clean up afterwards. :)

Went to a birthday party here and the kids had a fabulous time! so many different activities and a play area for the little ones. Highly recommend!

Took my 10 and 13 year olds yesterday for a bday party. Total Blast!!!! It's not your everyday laser tag spot. They make it fun and interactive. There is also tactical gears for ages 11 and above. Arcade games are reasonably priced and super fun. My kids didn't want to leave until closing time. Birthday party rooms are spacious. Most of all, staff there are super friendly. Bob, whom we chatted with (since my kids won't leave) was down to earth and made my husband and I welcomed. Definitely a spot I will re

We loved it here! We had me son's birthday here and let me tell you him and his friends had so much fun! There's so much to do here. Reserving his birthday online on the website was super easy and clear. They call you a couple of days before the party to explain everything and confirm if you still want everything or want to add anything and that everyone is still coming to make adjustments if necessary. I spoke to Sydney who was so wonderful and helpful. To be honest I had money constraints at the time and

Recently had a private laser tag event here. The arena is huge! The staff was very friendly and personally guided our games. They also have an arcade and climbing area. I would recommend ages 5+

My group had an amazing experience at Chasers Laser Tag. We had a group of 20 adults (21+) book a last minute party with Chasers and it was above and beyond initial expectation. Our host Bob was personable, funny, engaging, and accommodating. He helped me to select the right product to suit our groups needs. The tactical laser tag option was perfect for us and overall the best laser tag experience I've had so far. Thank you Bob and thank you Chasers!

This is the best place for Laser Tag for kids. And if you are a dad or a family with a few kids this is the best place to go for hours of work out and exercise. My son absolutely loves this place and asks to go all day. We drive all the way from dowtown Chicago just for their Laser Tag on Saturdays. As a walk-In you to join with the other kids' birthday parties, and I promise you and your family will have fun. They had a special deal for $20 all-day fun for your kids. I highly recommend this place

10/10!!! This place is AWESOME!!! Ok, so I had this place reserved 2 years ago for my son's 10th birthday, right when quarantine hit and I unfortunately had to cancel. They understood and we thought maybe down the road when things aren't so scary, we'd be able to do it. 2 years later, I remembered this place. Did the same thing this year for my son's 12th birthday but this time we didn't have to cancel lol. The staff was awesome, Uriel helped with whatever we needed and so did Katrina(I think? Cute blonde w

Chasers in Naperville is a hidden gem. We hosted an adult birthday party there and had a blast. HUGE shout out to our party room host, Josh. He handled a larger group of adults with ease and was able to navigate getting us the game play that we wanted with a smile.

Had an AWESOME time, booked a party, loved the tactical laser tag and the included free arcade was great as well! They were casual, friendly, and accommodating in the party room too when we needed paper plates and plastic ware, even had a lighter for birthday candles!! We would definitely go back even if just for a walk in good time to have. If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!

We had my son's party there today and everyone had a great time. The staff was more than accommodating. One of the kids was overwhelmed because he didn't know how to play some of the games, so one of the staff members sat with him and taught him how to play. There was plenty to do and wish we had more time to play.

My son came for a birthday party and he had a great time. Staff is young, but very respectful to both the kids and adults. I was happy to see responsible young adults, as this can be rare these days. Great job Chasers.

Great birthday party place. Party guests stick together. Hosts guide them to each activity. My kids had a great party and lots of fun.

Had a great time at Chasers laser tag. Bob, our host, made the experience fun and exciting. The arena was pretty big even for our group of 20. The different game modes kept each round fresh and engaging. Overall, had a great time and would definitely come back!

Had our kids' birthday party at Chasers, and it was fantastic! It was very easy to schedule, and there was very little we needed to do to prep for our party. We loved the flexibility to be able to bring our own food and drinks, and appreciated the fact that Pizza Hut pizzas were part of the package. All of the kids had a blast between laser tag, the arcade, and the jungle gym / climber. Well done, Chasers!

Paid $80 for 2 kids to play video games and 5 laser tag runs. Told manager kids were most intersted in video ganes vs laser tag, but this is package he proposed as best. Typical arcade games which are limited...about 10 racing and shooter games. The rest are "ticket" games to redeem for "prizes", about another 10. They have PlayStation and similar video games which my kids really wanted. But those aren't considered video games for the price paid! Only for "birthday parties". Manager didn't bother to inform

Came here with 8 friends all around the age of 30 and was still a great time. Adult and kid friendly plus the manager Bob and one of the workers that showed us how to set up the lazer tag were extremely helpful and informative. Their system was down for the time we went but that didnt stop them making the night great. Just a reminder that this is not just for kids its fun for the adults too so don't steer yourself from having a good time!

We had our sons 9 yr bday party w/ 6 friends. Affordable, friendly staff, clean. Kids enjoyed all the activities, laser tag, arcade, jungle gym, and gamer area. Laser tag arena was great and parents could wander the arena while the kids ran around playing the game. Was a pretty big arena so it was a bit spacious for only 6 kids. Arcade was smaller, which was a good thing, they played a few games, got there little prize and moved on. Gaming lounge had connected devices with fortnight setup, so of course tha

Excellent place to take students for a lesson, team building, and/or just as a reward. All student came in wondering and left exhausted and in the know. Everyone including the adults had fun and truly enjoyed themselves. It is a must see! : )

We just had my sons 7th birthday here and everyone had an excellent time! We were really impressed with our party host, Vince. He did a great job keeping the kids entertained and making the activities more exciting! We will be back for parties in the future!

Went to Chaser?s for a friends birthday party. Usually laser tag is kind of boring, but the games were super fun. Bob was super funny and helpful. Would go again

We had a small party this weekend and the kids had a blast. The host, Sydney, was so good with the kids. I could tell he really enjoys playing with the kids and truly wants them to have a blast. The party was so organized and catered to the kids. As I was planning for the party I called a couple of times for information and Bob was extremely helpful. Love this place!

Great place for a birthday party! The kids played arcade games, a few rounds of laser tag, and a Nerf war. They all had a blast! J.D. was our party host, and he was super attentive and awesome. We will definitely be back!

Suprised my husband with lazertag for his Birthday and it was an absolute blast! The team was so great and everyone was so nice and helpful. We missed a team member and asked one of the crew to join us and it made the game so much more fun! Thank you!

This place was so awesome, and Bob was so good instructing the party and organizing the games. Genuinely the best laser tag experience I've had. Would do it again.

This place was awesome! Highly recommend for a kids birthday party! The laser tag was fun and interactive, the arcades were a bonus, the place is CLEAN and the staff was amazing. The new owner Bob was so accommodating and helpful with our needs. Our party host Vince was hands down the best party host we've ever encountered after having over a decade worth of parties at other venues. We will definitely be back. The parties get booked fast so book early. Every kid had an absolute blast and the price is pre

Awesome place! Had my son's (Ameer) B-Day party, kids & parents had a blast!!! Owner Rich & his kids were amazing! Thank You! Great service & absolutely fun!! Would definitely recommend this place!

My son and his friends had a blast at Chaser's Laser Tag to celebrate his 7th birthday. The kids enjoyed time in the jungle gym, loved playing laser tag and then had fun at the arcade after pizza and dessert. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Chasers for any kids event!

Held my eldest son's birthday at Chasers about 7 years ago and it was a good time. But, just had my younger son's 10th birthday there and it was a blast. The entire Chasers crew is fantastic. Huge shout out to Vince, our party coordinator. Vince's fun and attentive approach to the boys and his amazing ability to get them to fall in line and listen was invaluable! He showed them a good time and kept them moving from event to event. Can't thank you enough Vince! On the day of the event, the Chasers team wa

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to host birthday parties. Kids had a ton of fun. fairly reasonable as well.

We had our grandson?s 9th birthday party here this past Sunday. I have to say it was reasonably priced for the amount of activities they offered and time the kids were allowed to play. The employees work so well with the kids. They kept it fun and they kept them busy. I did book this at the last minute. When I called, the owner was so helpful and even gave me tips on how to get more for my buck! Very awesome. Definitely will be coming back. I highly recommend.

BEST LASER TAG PLACE EVER!!!! Fun for parties of all sizes and has a unique, friendly atmosphere. A must do even if you were in town for one night - like us!

We had our son?s 10th birthday here over the weekend and it was a great experience. We appreciated that they let us rent out the facility for our larger group and Vince was phenomenal. He kept the kids moving from one activity to another and had everything organized. We all had a great time!

We had my son's birthday party there recently. The kids had so much fun from start to finish. The laser tag equipment is high quality and the arena is huge. The added arcade and play area is a really awesome feature included. Our host was Vince and he was fantastic! He was attentive, managed the kids well, and very personable. Highly recommend Chasers for any celebration.

Chasers Tag is awesome. We always have fun there. It's big nice clean and there are many different activities and games for kids of all ages and all of it works too. Even us as adults played on the VR games. The owner was really nice and even helped us set them up. Would definitely recommend this place.

Best laser tag I've been to. Cool guns and arena. The owner Bob was there and was super friendly, even gave us a tour of the entire place. Definitely coming back

We went to Chaser?s for our son?s birthday and we had a great time! The staff was very attentive and friendly! There is plenty to do here and plenty of space for birthday parties! We recommend Chaser?s for good family fun! ????

Me and a friend walked in without any reservations or anything (we where going to go airsofting but the field was closed). Even so they took great care of us, and even let us come up with our own gamemodes. The owner was super nice too. Their new ActionTag is a lot if fun, and so is their CQB map. 10/10, would recommend.

This place is awesome! I booked a mom and son night out event for our school and everyone had the best time! This place is a real hidden gem! They have lots and lots of video games, knockerball, dodgeball, an indoor jungle gym and laser tag all under one roof. My son and I had an absolute blast. Bob and his staff helped make our event perfect. Thank you so much for a wonderful event!

Great and affordable place to bring the kids. Owner is super nice and attentive. Thank you for your hospitality.

We are looking forward to our second party here this weekend. Last year we had on for our 10 year old son and some younger siblings, too. The owner is really accommodating and we are looking forward to checking out the new arcade that spits out tickets! Who doesn't love collecting tickets?

This place is wonderful! The kids will definitely enjoy themselves. I like you can bring your own food as well... a plus & the staff was vey helpful.

I had my son?s birthday party there yesterday and the kids deemed it as ?best party ever?! I booked the first time slot of the day at 1130a and the owner graciously opened the doors for me 15 min early so I could bring all my party things in and get started setting up. I loved that the kids could play in the arcade and climbing area while guests arrived bc it gave them something to do and kept them out of the room so I could set up. The website tells you to have food arrive 1 hour into your party time sl

The staff and facilities at Chasers were fantastic. They were thorough, fun, and accommodating. Not only were the prices great, there was an excellence to their facilities not found at most places in this field. We had a church group retreat party here late night, and while I was concerned it might be too young for us, it turned out just the opposite! Our men ranged from 12-70somethings and all of them had a blast. It was much more like an indoor paintball combat training without the mess! So fun!

So much fun here, we got a two hour package before closing, had a blast as a group, and the owner let us branch out and play other games. He made sure we had a blast. Highly recommend to any groups looking to have fun or bond

We had a birthday party at Chasers and it was great! Steady flow from activity to activity. Combat laser tag and knocker ball were so much fun and the boys could not stop talking about the amazing time they had! Well worth it. The owner Bob will take care of anything you need. This place is very clean and well maintained.

Had my sons birthday here and it did not disappoint! It is extremely clean and the free arcade was so much fun and up to date- I couldn't believe how many new gaming consoles they had to play. What a blast! Laser tag was also very fun and well ran. Katie our host was fantastic and was very helpful with my very wide range of kids (4-12). Highly recommend the turf play as well! Thank you Katie and all the staff at Chasers, we will definitely be back!

We had our party there for my 10 year old and it was an amazing experience! Our party host Vince was fantastic! Highly recommend him and this place. Kids were busy for the entire time. We had some younger kids in the party too and there was plenty for them to do as well.

The staff were super friendly and everything was super fun! My friends and I will definitely come back another day to play more!

Absolutely fantastic! This place is a kid?s dream, video games, arcade games, laser tag, battle bots, dodge ball, and more. Our son had a blast for his 9th birthday, we will definitely be back. It was clean, very organized, and the employees are great with kids. Mikayla made our party seamless, thank you!

My friends and I had the best time here! The variety of games keep each round feeling fresh and was just a blast. It's a fantastic option for a group of adults. The staff was so nice and easy going. Loved loved it, hope to come back soon.

Great place for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed every moment of our time. The host was very attentive and made sure the kids were always having a blast. Great choice to celebrate a birthday!!

I came here for my son 5th birthday and it was an amazing experience. He loves anything involving shooting and this was the perfect place for him. I would definitely return. My host was amazing as well and helped set up decorations.

I would 100% recommend this place. My sons party went extremely smoothly. Check in was easy and my two party host were available at all times. I'm extremely impressed with the entire staff. Such professionalism from them, most of the host are young teens and they're extremely professional. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. I would gladly book another party

We had my son's 16th birthday party there and we had a blast. There are many different activities to do and it felt like the 2 hour was not enough time for the all the fun. THANK YOU to the great staff and owners at the Chaser Laser Tag. You guys made my son's birthday awesome!!!!

We did our daughter?s 10th birthday party here and had a very good experience! We reserved the glow room. It was spacious and nicely decorated . There was also refrigerator and hand washing station inside the party room , which was very helpful. The laser tag area was huge. At the end, kids also played soccer and dodgeball in the field. We really liked this place.

Had my son's 8th birthday party here and it was a blast! Free arcade, large space for laser tag, and a place for the smaller kids. Also, loved that we had our party room for our entire party, unlike other kids party places. Staff was also friendly and helpful. Will be hosting my other child's party here!

Chaser?s is great! My son and his friends really enjoyed his 15th birthday there. Tactical laser tag is a big hit with the teens. Bob is extremely friendly and helpful for party or group planning. Highly recommend!

This place was such an awesome find. The staff was amazing, laid back and nice. So much fun for the kids to do. We did a two hour party and was able to do a ton of laser tag, arcade (which is all included in party package which is so nice), dodge ball and they have an awesome glow in the dark style jungle gym and dance floor. Private party rooms were great and super clean. Highly recommend this place!

Awesome place! We attended a kids birthday party and my kids (7 & 9) had a blast. So much fun the whole time and lots of activities to keep them busy the whole party block! We booked my sons birthday there as we left!

My daughter had her birthday party here. Our host was amazing and accommodating from the moment we arrived. The owner Dawn is very nice and checked in frequently to ensure our party ran smoothly. We had a small group, but he offered us a party room since there was on opening. It was nicely decorated and spotless! Plastic wear and supplies on site. We brought our own food and they offered us the use of a warming bag. My daughter and her friends had a blast.

We recently hosted our son's birthday party and it was nothing short of amazing! We went all out and chose the Ultimate Laser Tag & Arcade Party package, and to make it even more exciting, we added Knockerball Bubble Soccer to the mix. First and foremost, a special shout out to Vince, our party lead. Vince went above and beyond to ensure that our party was a blast from start to finish. His energy and enthusiasm kept the kids entertained and engaged throughout the entire event. He made sure everyone had a fa

Had a great experience at Chasers with our family! Loved that the venue provided a private room for our group and the ability to bring in your own food & beverage. I wish the Mario Kart worked, but maybe next time!

Had my 11yr old sons birthday here. Had an amazing time. From the super patient staff to the facility were all great. They did a good job on keeping all the parties moving and separate. Not once did I feel overwhelmed of too many kids other than my own. I highly recommend Chasers to any child?s party

The employees were very helpful, attentive, and patient as my kids are on the younger side. It is hard to find this now a days. I am looking forward to our next ?pizza party?. This was a great activity for a weekend or Monday holiday.

Had a birthday party for my son labor day weekend. Everyone, adults and kids, had an absolute blast. The laser tag is the coolest set up. There was no down time or I'm bored coming from the kiddos... just an all around great time. If you want activities to do with your kids, this place is the best!!

Great place! Laser tag is great! My family had a great time! The staff os so friendly and you can play games on the X box as you wait. You get a 7 minute round and the place has 1 main level and 2 smaller levels that were higher up, it's great for kids, 8+ probably. They have 2 types of laser tag. One kinda like call of duty with med kits and reload features. Any way this place was great, clean to! They also have party rooms! ????

First time and took my 4 year old there and he had a blast in the jungle gym area. Shout out to Angie for letting us play for free since my son isn't big enough to play laser tag or the knocker balls but still wanted to have some Saturday fun. Definitely will be back again and will be planning future birthday parties there !

Great birthday party for boys. Bob is very nice and answered all my questions. The party attendant was excellent and worked well with kids. Great laser tag, arcade games, and turf time. Thank you.

Absolutely loved it. Had my son's 7 year old lazer tag birthday. Highly recommended ??

My son had his 8th birthday party here today & it was great! Bob was very accommodating & the young men that he has working with him were great as well! The kids really enjoyed laser tag & there is a free arcade & an additional play area in the back. We will definitely be back & I would definitely recommend this place!!

Great experience at my 9-year-old twins' party today. The staff was helpful and organized and kept the kids moving from activity to activity. The kids all had a blast! There is so much more than laser tag to enjoy at this place. My only regret is not scheduling the extra hour so we could try the dodgeball.

We were guests for a 6 year old birthday party, and had a great time. Laser tag was roomy and the course varied enough to be interesting but still give the kids lots of chances to shoot their friends. If you didn't want to play laser tag, there were lots of free arcade / PS4 / XB1 games to play, plus a separate room to climb and dance and run around. The staff were friendly and engaged the kids well. We had a lot of fun and would happily recommend to others. I can't speak on price or value, but the venue we

Just had my son?s 11th Bday party. Although young teens, all the employees were attentive and courteous. Facilites were clean and room ready when promised. Kids played video games, laser tag, dodgeball, tug of war, and knockerball. Will definitely plan another event here. Kids had so much fun it was hard to cut the fun short at just 2 hours.

Just left this place, couldn't help but to leave a positive review right away! Super friendly staff, had my son's 12th birthday party here, they accommodate us with everything we needed, the laser tag, the arcade and the play rooms are super fun! Highly recommend for any type of kids party and will definitely come back again!

My son had a party there today and it was awesome! Our hostess McKayla (sorry probably spelled wrong) was great! The kids had fun! Looking forward to going back!

Bob is amazing, staff is great, and all areas of the place are great! Very fun for tag, 100% recommend!

Went here for my nephews party. The kids loved the video games and the laser tag was a great time. The course us full of great obstacles and they keep track of your scores and your teams. The staff was awesome, totally took care of everything and they didn't mind if we stayed past our alotted time. I would definitely recommend this place for kids between the ages of 6-10

We held our son's birthday party there and what a great experience! Cool laser tag arena and space for nerf wars and free play. I wasn't aware of their gaming setup on different platforms and the kid's loved that. Rich was very kind and helpful during our time there. A return trip will be a must! Thanks again!

My son has had his birthday party here three years in a row. It is such a great place for an easy party for kids. Dawn, the weekend manager, is fantastic! I cannot speak more highly of her helpfulness and kindness. I am sure we will be coming for many more years to come.

We had my son?s 12th birthday here on Saturday and he did tactical laser tag plus knockerball. He and his friends had an awesome time and I want to say a big thank you to Michaela in particular for being an amazing host. The laser tag was cool but I think they had the most fun doing the knockerball, it's definitely worth adding that on. Just note it is very physical!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
