I took my niece there yesterday to play for her birthday. The place is small but accommodating. The lazer tag room has multiple levels and is spacious. Kids had a blast, new owners are welcoming and staff is very helpful. Definitely coming back again!
I had my sons b day party here and I'm so glad we did. The place was clean and staff was super attentive. All activities were enjoyed but the laser tag topped it all. Parents joined the kids for a laser tag game and it was a blast! This will be a place for our family for many years to come.
Laser tag arena, two floors. Great time with friends. Laser tag, small arcade, ?bumper? cars, prize counter. Groupon available
Lots of fun! I have been craving laser tag for like 9 months and finally gave in and drove an hour to this place. Boy, was it worth it. Had to do 1v1 for laser tag because there weren't any other people there, but it was a great time. I did lose, but that was to no fault of the facility. Arcade was fun but expensive (as arcades are), and sadly one of the guns for the fps game did not work so I had to pretend to shoot the goblin friends for 4 credits, but I think I'll live with that. Staff was super nice and
Took my son and friend?s there for his birthday. Place was very clean. The place wasn't busy and they extended the times for laser as well as bumper cars. Ladies at the front desk exceeded great customer service. Place was very clean. Definitely will be back??
Brought a large group of teens here. It was a great experience. The staff was extremely organized and helpful. (I can not say enough good things about the staff.) The actual laser tag games were so much fun. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back.
Pretty Cool laser tag arena. They Also have arcade games and indoor bumper cars too.
Took my daughter and her friend for laser tag. Big Mike took great care of us and made sure the kids were having fun. Great family place that is inexpensive with lots to do.
TERRIBLE PRICES ;PARTY PACKAGES ARE AWFUL NO FOOD OR DRINKS WITH ANY AND LIMITED TIME SMH CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GARBAGE; NOT WORTH A SINGLE RED CENT!!!!!??
2nd time there and it was just as good as the first kids and adults had a great time customer service was amazing keke was great with the kids she was so patient and kind and she definitely made sure we had a great time amd went over and beyond and made sure the birthday girl had fun as we'll definitely recommend can't wait to go again
Great staffing, and ok laser tag experience, but upon my visit today, only 4 arcade machines actually worked well. About 5 machines stopped working on me. Small establishment, with very bad and understocked prize counter. Employee service is really the only reason this place doesn't get a 1 star review.
We had my sons birthday party there. Private games of laser tag, it was just our party on an awesome course. There is an arcade, VR ride and bumper cars as well. Party package was priced well compared to other places. We brought our own snacks and cake but they will provide pizza if you want. Kiki, our party host was amazing. I didn't have to do anything but watch my kid have fun! Very clean, very nice staff, highly recommend!
Great little spot for kiddo parties or fun day out. Not overwhelming and small enough for you to keep an eye on your children.
During our initial visit, we experienced a bit of disappointment as the game wasn't functioning. However, understanding that technical glitches can happen to the best of us, we decided to give it another shot the following week. To our delight, we were thoroughly impressed with how enjoyable the experience turned out to be.
do not take your child !!!!!!!!!!!!!here I am persuaded that the individuals crafting these reviews may have affiliations with the establishment. My experience bringing my daughter here on her birthday was notably subpar, ranking as the worst unsatisfactory outing for her and her companions. To elucidate, a single game incurs an $8 charge, and despite opting for the triple play package at $185 for seven children, they were restricted to only three games. The temporal allocations for activities were dismally
It's always a great time when we come! There are two floors inside the laser tag room, which we love ( The adults may have more fun then the kids in there lol !). We've come several times for parties and just family visits, we've yet to be disappointed. Staff is very interactive with the kids which is a plus! The kids love the arcade games, VR & bumper cars. Highly recommend!
4 of my friends and I went there on a Thursday night. Even though no one else was there, we had the time of our lives. The arena is great and can lead to some casual games or even fast tactile encounters. The mirror room has so many angles to get your enemy. Its not that expensive either. Great for anyone. Plus thee owner and staff made us feel safe and connect with us well. I will be returning again for laser tag action!
We had such a wonderful time! The woman at the counter was an absolute pleasure. She was lenient with the tickets our kids won for their prizes and made our children so very happy! Huge laser tag arena, great family fun day!
Laser Planet Plus hosted my son?s 12th birthday party and it was a great experience for everyone! The staff at Laser Planet Plus were above and beyond great. Sushi was our party host and he kept a gaggle of 12 year olds engaged and entertained in between the main attractions of bumper cars, laser tag and arcade games. Big Mike is the manager and I've never seen someone so patient with kids as they hem and haw over how to spend their tickets at the prize counter. The laser tag course is the perfect size and
Fun Birthday Celebration time spent with Family. Laser Tag, VR, Bumping Cars & Arcade. FUN, FUN, FUN! Staff was GREAT! Went above and beyond to make our time extra special, very friendly and attentive. THANK YOU!!! We Enjoyed It!
450.00 for a birthday party. Party of 14 which they are too small to accommodate. They were un organized. They wanted everyone there 15in early, but wouldnt allow them to do anything for 30min AFTER the start time. Every have 14 kids standing around for 45 min. The kids had a great time (the whole point) but very disappointed for the cost of it all. The price doesn't include pizzas we paid extra for and water. We had to decorate ourselves too which I did not know. Over all we paid 550.00. Won't be back the
Don't bother booking a birthday. Phone calls and texts were not returned. When we arrived, the staff seemed disorganized, and didn't know who our party host was. We had to wait 50 minutes to play laser tag. Our party host really tried, but young kids don't want to play charades or trivia for that long. Had I know we needed to fill that time, I would have gotten game cards (which really should be included in the package). Kids played two rounds of laser tag, which lasted about 30 minutes. Overall, the
We had my daughters 7th birthday party here and we were very pleased with the party. The kids all had a great time. The man running the place (who I believe was the owner) was super friendly and helpful! He even went above and beyond to help one of the kids who was scared of the laser tag room. Highly recommend!
My son just had his birthday party here this afternoon. The owner, Charlie, and our party hostess, Micaela, made everything so easy and fun. They know what they are doing. All the kids had so much fun. Charlie personally took children who were nervous aside to show them the vests and what the room looks like. Their laser tag set up was great! I've been to some laser tag places where the games were so quick. It felt like the game would never end! Parents joined against the kids and we were sweating, out of b
This place was amazing!! Lowkey spot with an arcade, bumper cars and of course?.a sick laser tag arena! The place itself was clean, a variety of games and activities, and there is room for hosting parties. The staff was super helpful, friendly and accommodating for our group of 25. Extra shoutout to Sushi for helping us out and taking lots of group photos. 10/10 would recommend!
Charlie, who I think is the owner or manager, is great with the kids and super friendly! The laser tag is accurate and has a large venue. There are a handful of arcade games and a small area for bumper cars. Restrooms are clean and parking is easy. It's a little hidden in the plaza that it's in, but it's a great place. Additionally, the young man who works on Friday nights with Charlie is extremely pleasant and makes the experience even better.
We held our son's birthday party at laser planet today and it was a fantastic experience! Booking the party was easy and everything except the cake is included in the package! Our host was upbeat and efficient. We had an all around great experience and our kids are looking forward to going back!
The staff here are absolutely amazing! When my coupon wasn't working, they just gave me the coupon's deal anyways, without any hesitation. The food is alright, but the mediocre food is alright due to the awesome course! Very great aesthetics, keeping the "outer-space" feel everywhere in the building. Plus, the course had 2 floors! It really is fun for the whole family at Laser Planet!
This place was so awesome! I went there for my nephew's party and Kiki was the best host ever! She went above and beyond to help the party and was so cheerful the whole time. I highly recommend playing laser tag too for kids AND adults! Check it out!
Came yesterday with 3 of my friends and I have to say that Laser Planet Plus is the best place for Laser Tag in all of Connecticut! Very impressive arena, clean facility, and solid equipment. We all had a blast! Can't believe they had been closed for 15 months during the height of the pandemic and I'm so glad they managed to pull through. I highly recommend this place to all those that want to play Laser Tag. Bring all your friends and support small business!!! Can't wait to be back!
Had my son?s birthday party there yesterday and Kiki went above and beyond to make it not only great for the kids but for the parents as well. We had so much fun. My son won't stop talking about it and neither will the parents lol. We will definitely be back for fun and for more events. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
This place was a bit empty. It wasn't the best place as the prizes were cheap. For example, one small object is like 250 tickets or something. The worker was nice but looked depressed. The middle area where you bump the cars was so legitimately small. Laser tag room was so lowkey and the best it was enormous with made it exciting. Machines weren't that bad but they could use some adjustments.
Brought my boyfriend and our friends here for his birthday (all of us are in our early to late 20s) and we had an amazing time. I thought it'd be a space more targeted towards children but we all had a great time. The set up is fun and engaging, and you get a lot of play for your money. Definitely the best work out we had all had in a while
Had an 11th birthday for my kiddo today. Fantastic experience. The kids had a BLAST. Our host Kiki was really good and made sure they all had a great experience. Worth every penny.
We had great fun here! The staff are really friendly and kind. The laser tag area is multi level and makes for some great battles.
I brought my 10 year old daughter and 2 best friends here as a part of her birthday wknd activities. They played 2 games and played in the arcade btwn each game. They had a blast. The only complaint they had was that there was no AC where they were playing laser tag...and I would say the arcade is kinda small...other than that it's cool.
Kids & I went for first time today and it was a blast!! We played lazertag and had THE best time. People working there were so nice & we loved the 2 level lazer tag area. We will DEF go back. Hoping to find days with more $ deals!
Small and appears dirty. The restrooms were less than, didn't even want to touch the door once I saw the condition of the restroom. We arrived a little early for a party and were told we had to wait outside until the time the party started. The staff was quite unfriendly and seemed that we were bothering them when my daughter asked to cash in the tickets from the few arcade games.
A large group of us went here on new years eve for their $20 special. For the cost, it was fine, but the rooms are way too small for the number of people they cram in there! We were a party of 11 and they always had at least 20 people in each small room. They also give a list of rules that no one bothers enforcing (no stalking, no camping, etc) which made it not fun. When you can't get a hit in because some 12 year old is following you around, it's super boring. We ended up just playing a few rounds and th
The owner was so rude. He will never get another dime from our family or friends! Also the "arcade" is garbage. All the games were the type that just rip off tokens from the kids. If you're considering going, just take the extra time driving out to Nomad's. So much more worth it! Do not waste your money here!
The laser tag was very fun in free-for-all rounds and team rounds. If you bring a group of friends/family, you should have a nice time.
What a blast. The place has home bases to attack, catwalks and ramps to scale. The scores are tallied automatically by computer for team totals. A small arcade and mini golf round out the fun. Worth checking out for birthday parties for the kiddies. They run periodic specials and the Friday deal in a money saver.
This place is really awesome. Laser tag is really fun and arcade games are very current where you can win lots of tickets. Prices are also great too. Definitely going to this place again!
Had an absolute blast here. The staff were so wonderful and very helpful. The facility is very clean. Very affordable too and keeps both the kids and adults entertained
They should improve it, like more options, affordable prices for the rides you play apart
It was okay. I went to hangout here with my friends and did not have a good experience. Me and my friends ask to be on a team together. And what does the person in charge do? He tells us he will make sure, we were on separate teams and he did. Also they're equipment are broken. The laser gun I got didnt have it's codename displayed so I couldn't find out my score. Then the next time we went, again, the laser guns were broken. The first one I got didn't make any sound when I shot someone, or if someone shot
It's very fun but when I went one of the bases wasn't working and that team won, and the workers said that it didn't matter but it clearly did, also sometimes there are really small games witch is annoying. I still had a great time though.
We had my son?s birthday here and everything and everyone was amazing! Debbie was super nice and our hostess Kiki was great!
Had my husband's surprise 40th birthday here. Chris and his crew were the best! We had the place to ourselves and endless Lazer tag games. I would recommend this place to everyone.
It was such a great place to take my kids we all had a blast!!! Will recommend this place to anyone and they have very reasonable prices!! Thank you such a great experience
My six year old son and I had a really fun mom & kid day at Laser Planet. It was both of our first time playing, and they were very helpful, and made my somewhat nervous kiddo perfectly comfortable.
Best laser tag arena I've ever seen!! Me and my friends are gamers and this place was out of this world! We'll definitely be back!
The staff is excellent and really good with instructions etc. The actual facility/location is clean and well-stocked with drinks and snacks. You will always leave happier than when you arrived ??????
The workers where rude. when i asked them do they have anything my toddlers can do she gave me an attitude and told me only if they was having a party. Half of the game didnt work and they don't have any food,just one broken vending machines we didnt have a gd time at all.
It was fun. I had my birthday party here and we played 2 games of laser tag and we had ?? and ?? after. But it was super expensive
Perfect place for my son?s 7th birthday. Our party hostess Princess was on top of everything the whole time - thank you!
Small, dark, cramped, very few games, and the laser tag floor is wide open. Bathroom doors not properly aligned for privacy. This whole place looks like it was an afterthought and is run on a shoestring. The lobby of Monster Mini Golf puts this whole place to shame.
my nieces had a blast it's small but fun and the games are entertaining. Never knew Lazer tag could be fun
First time at this place and I didn't like it. Very expensive and was nobody. My kids have more fun in other places.
Just NASTY when I went to there ''bumper cars there was Chip crums in the seat old and rusty Games. The vending mechenes just take your money and only ice cream chips are severed don't wast your money here
I really gotta say. This place leaves a lot to be desires. It is very poorly run. Management has a major attitude problem. Service is slow and very inefficient. Go bowling with the kids instead.
Disrespectful manager , most of the Arcadia games are broken , too expensive ,nothing for children's 5 and under . We had to keep going back no main desk due to after putting tokens in games they're not working , manager seemed to be bother and gave me and my children's an attitude even so that we spent about 65 $ .
AWESOME PLACE TO COME! you want to know how awesome is? Come... just come and you will see the awesomeness of this place! Totally recommend
Pretty decent I mean it's really cool especially for waterbury but I would love it if they added a few more arcade games Dont get me wrong I really like this place but I would like to see a few more games I would recommend this place
Had my sons Birthday party here. The crew was very personable and attentive. Highly recommended spot
The kid's have fun, but just looking at some of the prices for prizes seems a little crazy, but hey it works for the kids so I really cant complain.
Went there for the first time.my daughter and I had a blast.only problem i had was the games in the lobby weren't working that well and ate some of my token.beside that good place to go.
Great place to bring kids My kids had so much fun playing laser tag as well as bumper cars will return soon
Nice facility with laser tag, "bumper cars" that are round, games. Kids had a blast.
The worker was friendly. The price was affordable. But most important the children enjoyed themselves.
It was a really nice experience my family and I had fun for my grand son's birthday!
Lazer tag was pretty cool. Really enjoyed it. Good set up.
Didn't know that the kiddie area want opened past 6. That was problematic. Also my grandson's him didn't work in the first game and he's young and didn't tell anyone until the game was over and then he told me. They need to check the guns ahead
This place is loads of fun, you get a great workout out in as well without even realizing it. You even get a score card afterwards that shows exactly how many hits you got.
Always clean, kids love it, small arcade available for play, laser tag arena is biggest in area
Cool little spot in the corner, Its decent but can become uncomfortable if it is packed, this place is small and if it's packed u cant really have fun but this is an excellent spot to go to when it's not packed. No more then 30 people
Had birthday party and it was well worth the money. The kids had a blast.
This place is a place when you just want to get your kids out the house to do somethin but the money its worth it
Kids had fun not only during tag but also in the arcade
So much fun. The laser tag room is huge. We be back
Great for birthday parties. Kids had a blast!
A bit on the small side but perfect for my family. We all had a blast!
My son's first birthday party. He was very pleased..!!! Thank you for your service.!!!
So much fun. Nice arcade. Cool mini golf
We had a fun time, great place for a birthday party
Small buy lots for the kids to do here.
Deff a great place to throw a birthday party. My son loved it!
Lots of fun especially with more people. The two levels are nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
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.
