Customer Reviews

A lot of fun for sure. Went in with my friends (2 other adults) intending to kill 20 minutes since we happened to be in the area and ended up in there just playing arcade games for nearly 2 hours. Not a huge variety, but it's also not the main draw so I get it. Pretty cheap, very friendly staff. The Pirate Hook game gave me a gambling addiction. 10/10

My kids love this place. Staff is friendly and very helpful. We've had a birthday here plus attended the laser tag camp in the summer. Always a hit!

Took my daughter to a birthday party held here. Amenities were great and atmosphere was exactly what I expected. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff and the overall cleanliness of the place. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. LOTR pinball machine puts the place over the top!

we called ahead two weeks in advance, letting them know we are bringing approximately 30 people for an afterschool program field trip we showed up they were prepared for us. Everything was very smooth. Would definitely book with Again.

We had my son's birthday party here and we had a great experience! Between the arcade and the two rounds of laser tag, all of the kids were entertained and had a fun packed time! Not having to worry about bringing any food or cake with us made the whole experience stress free. Rachel was our party host and she was knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Ryan Morrow was AMAZING!! Very attentive and super kind. Definitely will be back and asking for Ryan!

We had a team outing for our real estate group here. Matt was our instructor here and I could not be more impressed. He's an example of someone who truly loves and feels passionate about his job. We are 100% coming back to play more laser tag here again. I also would like to note that the arcade was a great bonus to have between games and the pizza was not bad at all. Parking was excellent and it doesn't hurt that starbucks is right next door.

We had a great time here with a small group of friends. The staff was super friendly and helpful. After the first round I got the hang of everything and improved a lot in round two. Definitely recommend stopping out to shoot some laser guns ??pew??pew.

Laser Storm made my 9 year old?s birthday a blast! The kids loved the treat bag and had a great time!! Jordan was great at keeping the party moving along. Easy for the parents and fun for the kids- what more can you ask for?

What a fun experience it was! We celebrated our 11 year old?s bday here- and did we have fun. Jesse was our server and she made us so comfortable and made sure everything ran on time and everybody was taken care of. The party rooms are beautifully done and big enough. We were 15 People and it had enough space for us. The games were fun and they even have a supervisor inside to help new players. Even our 4 year old played the games . The party packages are totally worth every penny. We also availed the free

My son had a great time at his 12th birthday party at Laser Storm. The staff were very warm and inviting, and they do everything for you once you arrive. We got the 2-game play package. Our party attendant Brannon kept everything on time and did a nice job delivering food and tending the party generally. It had a different vibe than a lot of game places, to me it felt very carnival-like, very fun and colorful (not darker & club-like like Dave and Busters, although we enjoy that too). I didn't see them play

First time visiting here with my wife and two boys yesterday. Absolutely loved the service, atmosphere and the fact that they still use TOKENS AND TICKETS!!! Keeping the Nostalgia alive!!! Very happy with the experience and I highly recommend.

We recently rented out Laser Storm for our daughter's 11th birthday. It was awesome. The kids had a fantastic time, both with the arcade games and the laser tag. And Brannon and Aidan were amazing, they went above and beyond to make sure she had a great birthday.

Perfect place for a party our host was great didn't have to do anything but show up ??

Amazing first time experience with group of college+ friends. We had a group of 10 and joined with other groups but was enjoyable nonetheless. The arena is surprisingly big (I ran out of breath and was drenched in sweat) after each round. Facility and equipments were all relatively new and nicely working. Guys and girls both had a blast as a group activity.

It was amazing. My daughter turned 8. We played two games and had a ball. 10/10 customer service

We had my son's 8th birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! Everyone was super nice and the pricing for everything isn't too bad. We played two rounds of laser tag and had so much fun. Arcade games after cake was also so fun for everyone; adults and kids! Highly recommend!

We had a birthday party for our 11 year old here. She had 17 total guests which was a good amount for 2 teams for a game of laser tag. Our party hostess Jordan was excellent! She served drinks, pizza and cake, went for drink refills before we could even ask, coordinated the game times well, and was very attentive in every matter. All the kids had a blast. Highly recommend!

Literally just left 15 mins ago and it was SO FUN! Boyfriend and I went on a date and ended up being group with a father/son and some other tweens and it ended up being a blast! Super classic laser system that was nostalgic. I can't wait to come back. Great prize for MVP too (bf got mvp).

Top level birthday celebration for kids and adults alike. We received great service and attention from Matthew S. thank you!

The super kind staff. Me and my family had a lot of fun. Overall I love this place

We had a really great experience at Laser Storm. Super friendly staff, organized, easy, and fun. Highly recommend.

I've been coming to Laser Storm for over a decade, but just recently we booked a 3 Game Exclusive with a group ranging from ages 6-70 and everyone had a blast! Joey and Brandon were extremely accommodating and did everything they could to make sure we had a fun time. If you haven't done laser tag here, you must!

What a great birthday spot for my kid?s 10th birthday party! We had nine kids total, and that kept it small and intimate, but there were enough kids so that there were two distinct teams. The schedule was great? they kept things moving and the kids were never bored! It was really great to have a dedicated person (in our case, two, actually: Rachel took the lead and Gabriel was helping) looking after the party. It meant that all I really had to do was take pictures and enjoy the time! ?? The kids loved t

So much fun!!! Amazing staff. Didn't want to stop playing. 100 percent would recommend. Price is completely fair and worth the experience. Family friendly as well as adult friendly.

We hosted our son?s 9th birthday at Laser Storm and I would recommend the party package to anyone! It was easy, well organized, and so much fun. All of the staff were exceptional and went above and beyond in every way. Our party host, Aidan was responsive, kind, organized, and best of all AMAZING helping to keep the kids excited but following the rules. As a parent, I was able to just relax and enjoy! Aidan cleaned up, served the kids, helped guide them while playing, and kept things moving along at the per

One of the OG laser tag spots in Pittsburgh. The history here stretches back 30+ years, and they have the trophies to show for it. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and does a LOT to make everyone feel safe and ensure they're having a good time. The few arcade machines they have aren't in the best shape, but it's enough to entertain in between games. Great experience!

We had my son?s 6th birthday party here. We did the 2 games of laser tag, pizza, popcorn, drinks, cake and extra tokens for the kids in between to play arcade games. Planning was so easy. Just fill out what you prefer for your party and they will take care of everything once you arrive. Making any changes is easy too. We loved our party host(Brennen) I probably spelled his name wrong. He was great with the kids! I highly recommend having a birthday party here.

Spent part of my bachelorette party here. The course is fun and the staff was friendly. We versed a kid and his big brothers and had a blast. The games last about 25 minutes (between putting on gear, directions, and game play). I love this place.

Lots of fun for me and my two kids 6-8. It was our first time playing so the (super nice) guy working that day gave us an awesome tutorial. After playing laser tag we had lots of fun on the ski ball machines and won lots of tickets to trade in on prizes. We went on a Wednesday and they even had a discount on laser tag! I can definitely see a birthday party here in our future. The guy working today was awesome! You can tell he enjoys his job.

Awesome place, lots of fun! My kids had a blast!

Everytime we've been here it's been a blast but tonight we took are nieces and nephews for the holidays and it was so special. The staff was great and our guy working our games was just incredible. He took time during our game to cheer the kids on and teach our 4 year old niece how to play throughout the entirety and made it such a fun experience for them all!

I took a group of 60+ kids & leaders here for a 4-5th grade event. The staff did a fantastic job accommodating such a large group in a 2 hour window. Not only were they efficient and organized, but they were incredibly kind and helpful. It was a great and FUN experience for the kids, and easy for me as the leader.

I honestly love this place bc my sons love it. We come at least 1 x per month. It's typically a great time. I've never had any ?major problems? aside from machines eating my money, or it being too crowded. However, tonight I bout two games for 3 people. Game #1 my vest suddenly stopped working 1/2 way through. I was told to go get a new vest. By the time I got a vest & got back out after finding the employee I lost roughly 50 seconds. That's SUBSTANTIAL when the games are only 2.5 minutes! But okay, I shoo

We had my sons 8th birthday here and it was by far the easiest and best party to date! From the moment we walked in, our party coordinator was on top of everything. She did an amazing job gathering the kids and taking them back to the arena, getting food drinks and cake ready on time! I can not say enough good things about this place! My son had the best time and now all his friends from the party want to have their birthdays there!

Brought a couple of the soccer teams that I coach here for a holiday get together, we had a blast! Rachel was awesome, as well as the rest of the staff, and made sure that we had a great time and even helped the girls during the game to better understand how to play the game. We will definitely be back!

me and a group of coworkers came for a team building exercise. we were told they open at 12 pm and when we got there at 11:50 am, we were waiting for 40 minutes and no worker showed up. we called in advance to confirm there opening time, there were two other groups also waiting for Laser Storm to open. I am very disappointed.

Great place to come for a party! The cost to rent a room is pretty cheap and the laser tag set up is super fun- i loved seeing my stats! Staff is super friendly and ready to help will def be coming back :)

Been going here for years now; when I was a kid and now with MY daughter lol. My daughter has had I think 3 birthday parties here now, the last one just 2 Sundays ago. We always have a great time! I have always brought in our own cake instead so I can't tell you what theirs is like but we do get pizza for everyone and considering the type of place it is (you go here for the fun, the food is an added bonus) the pizza is decent. As well as laser tag they also have an arcade area in the main area. Nothing much

An excellent child's birthday party experience. The party format emphasizes both structure and flexibility, and the staff were very understanding and attentive in both directing the activities and facilitating key parts of the event. This included ample arcade tokens as part of the package, which kept attendees occupied between games of laser tag, for which they were very helpful to assure that everyone knew what to do. If there are any drawbacks, they relate to too much of a good thing, and everyone seem

Our party host, Aiden, made sure everyone had what they needed and went above and beyond to make our nine-year-old's party fun!

Called ahead around an hour before we planned on arriving since there were 14 people in our group. Staff member told us it wouldn't be an issue to get in a few games in a timely manner. Upon getting there we were told by the same guy we spoke with on the phone that there was over an hour wait and the 3 birthday parties have priority for games. Terrible communication by the staff but what was worse was the attitude given by the staff member who rolled his eyes at my family members when we were asking questio

We had my son's birthday party at Laser Storm and everyone had a great time! Our party coordinator was amazing at keeping 8 boys in line :). We will definitely be back!

Headed to Laser Storm for a girl's afternoon out. Was surprised at how much fun we had! Prices are great, and it's definitely more of a workout than you might imagine. ??

I was completely impressed by the staff and the "flow" of the birthday party package. From booking until the end of the party, it was a seamless and smooth process. You easily book online and can change anything up until the day of the party! The pizza was decent and the cake provided by them was good (I was told it was from Sam's club). I literally did nothing to prepare for this party, except send invitations. I had low expectations going into this, because I had never been to Laser Storm before, but

We had a birthday party at Laser Storm for our 7yr old and had a great experience. Everything went smoothly and our host, Jordan, did a great job and was very attentive. The boys had a great time and the party was good value for money. The ability to change the number of guests at the last minute was very helpful.

Just celebrated my son?s 9th birthday here. Great time! ?Best party ever? - a group of 9yr old boys

We have done 2 birthday parties here and each one has been a wonderful experience. Even the adults got to play and everyone had such a good time, it was such a special memory. The staff are phenomenal. Not only are they professional and efficient, they are so kind and enthusiastic. Every part of the experience was more than a parent could hope for in their child's birthday celebration.

My House was very nice and accommodating of all aspects of the party.

Staff was great. Nice place for birthday party too!

Creepy old guys there and old carpets. Needs remodeling and cleaned/dusted. Rude staff no help with explaining any information to play. I would not go there ever again

We celebrated our son's 9th Birthday at Laser Storm in Pittsburgh and everyone had a GREAT time! It was very organized and as the parent, we just needed to show up and the staff took it from there :)

We had a really good time. The staff are pleasant and friendly and willing to answer questions and chat. The arcade games are reasonably priced and my kids were occupied for about an hour on $20, which is a steal these days. The equipment was in good shape and worked well.

We had a wonderful 6th birthday party for my son! The kids all had a blast. Our party host was so helpful in keeping things running smoothly and taking care of all the details. Would definitely recommend hosting a birthday party here!

Had my sons 9th birthday party here. I would highly recommend this place. We had an excellent time and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The party allowed us to play 2 games with just our party and it was so much fun. There is a small arcade in the front for any down time between games or to hang out in before or after you play. My kids can't wait to go back!

We had an awesome experience at laser storm! My partner wanted to go laser tagging for her 26th birthday so we gathered up a group of friends for the group outing - I'd been here many years ago and loved it so I knew this was the place to book. It came with plenty of game tokens to play the arcade in the lobby while we waited for the stragglers of the group to arrive, and then we got 3 games of laser tag along with pizza, popcorn, drinks, and additional arcade tokens. There were 11 of us so we got the whole

We had a birthday party for my 9-year-old daughter. The guests ranged from 6 up to 12, plus a few parents. We had an amazing time. The staff members were enthusiastic and attentive. Plus, seriously, laser tag is just a lot of fun! The facility is bright and clean. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future parties and events!

I love Laser Storm! Recently had my youngest's 8th birthday party there with 12 kids in attendance. They all LOVED it. Private games, so they're not thrown in with bigger, older kids or adults. The friendly and super helpful staff were attentive. The party package is an excellent value and competitively priced against other local options, but this has a very unique laser tag experience. I would very much recommend. A great family owned business that's a real landmark institution in the area.

This place is a blast. I celebrated my birthday here with the family, and we all had fun. Sunday nights feature $6 per person tickets, and if you're MVP at the end of the match, you'll get a BOGO free coupon for another game. Can't wait to go back.

Such an amazing place for a birthday!!! We had our 9 year olds birthday there and it was awesome! We pulled up to his name flashing on the sign outside. Then he and his friends got to play games in the arcade area (which isn't busy and very clean). We had a very nice young man that was the coordinator. He was patient and the rest of the staff were very kind. The food was great!!! We will definitely be doing another party here!

The kids had a fantastic time for our son?s birthday party! The host was so helpful and made everything so easy. Highly recommend if your kids enjoy laser tag.

I very rarely leave reviews, but the staff here was so phenomenal I felt compelled to share. The two men working here went above and beyond to help my nephews and I understand the game. One of them came into the arena to assist the kids every game, and it really helped them (and me) to understand and have the best time. They were both incredibly kind and friendly. Highly recommend a visit here and we will definitely be back!

Had my son?s 11th birthday here and it could not have been more convenient, fun and organized!!! All of the kids had a blast and our party host, Jordan, was amazing!!

My daughter had her 9th Birthday party at Laser Storm and it was a great time had by all. The staff is pleasant and very helpful with all needs or questions. Our party host was on top of all our needs and very personable! Will definitely be back to play again soon!

Been going for a couple years now. Had our son's 9th birthday there and it was the best birthday party we've ever had. It was so easy. They took care of everything. The whole party went smooth, the kids and adults had a blast, and the cake was DELICIOUS. Ended up getting memberships to keep track of scores and levels and we usually go once a week now.

The arcade area in the lobby is well maintained and the were plenty of games for the kids to play. We had some issues with a voucher we had purchased and Debbie really helped us out with it. The layout of the area is cool, keeps the two teams separate so you have to play together as a team.

They're the absolute best!! Love this place, the Birthday party we had here for my 27 year old husband was an absolute score! All of our friends had so much fun, the day turned out super memorable! Our host was amazingly and nice aswell! We also come here often with friends just for a fun night out! Laser storm is our favorite!

Our party host Branon really kept the life to our party going! Highly recommend going here with a group of friends, we had 10 and was a perfect number for even teams!

I had my son's 11th birthday here. He and his friends had a blast. The staff were a delight and took care of everything. Dawson was the party host and he is awesome!

Always an awesome experience at Laser Storm! The staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The 10 minute games feel like a lifetime and absolutely affordable.

Lots of fun. We took our 8 and 6 yr old daughters there and they had a blast, too. You get a decent amount of time in the arena for the price of each game. I''d recommend purchasing at least 2 rounds, but price drops for each additional round you purchase.

A really fun birthday party for everyone! We had 3rd through 5th graders, girls and boys, and everyone had a blast! Very well organized. Even grandma played Skee Ball! Jordan was great to work with, made everything so easy for us! The staff are so friendly & deserve big tips for all the work they do! We especially appreciated having our own party room. They are becoming harder to find.

This is very different from other laser tag places I've been to. The gear here is older, they dint have suits that light up. Instead you aim the players headset and guns. And guns need to be energized every now and then. The arena is flat instead of having levels, but we still had fun. The place was good and game was organized. They also have 2 birthday rooms available and a few arcade games. Overall experience was good.

The management is really bad, maybe I just happened to be there on their bad day, but it was my kids Birthday, and they couldn't be bothered to look like they cared about their jobs. We booked months in advance for a birthday party and paid the deposit. On the day of the party, they were late to open the doors, they were late letting us into the reserved room, they were late bringing the food, they were late getting all of our rounds of lasertag in, but... they didn't skip a beat getting us out of the room

Just as cool today in 2022 as it was in 1996 when it opened - Laser Storm is a great place to disconnect from your computer, gaming console, phone, or tablet and have actual physical fun. My family recently held a get-together here and Brandon (I think that was his name) and the rest of the staff made it great! When you're in need of a break from the high-intensity laser tag games, their lobby/arcade has games for people of all ages. I highly recommend checking Laser Storm out - there isn't a place quite

Our group had an amazing time. Jordan was the absolute best party host! Thanks so much for a wonderful evening!

Stopped in for some bonding time with my 2 sons and we had a blast. Not a single complaint. The gentleman working (didn't catch his name) was friendly, accommodating and overall a good time as he stepped on the battlefield as one of our teammates. We will be back ASAP!

Just had a great time. My in laws did a family game, well we did 3 games it was a blast. 8 adults and 2 kids. The person who was in charge of our party and our games was Sarah, she was amazing. She was extremely patient, understanding, and helpful to my 7 year old. She was helping her have a blast while we big kids had ours. Thanks Sarah for being awesome! You alone makes my family want to come back. Your services was 10/10.

Had a 9th Birthday party for our son, the staff was so helpful and accommodating. The kids had a great time and always had plenty to do. It can be busy with several groups coming in, but they kept everything straight. Worth the drive from the South Hills.

We hosted a birthday party for 12 on a Friday evening. The staff was great in accommodating our group and making sure that the drinks, pizza, cake, games and arcade time was enjoyable. The facility was clean and well organized but could use a few arcade and tag supply updates. Overall great experience.

Small and crowded but fun on the weekend

We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a good experience. Matt was super friendly and helpful behind the counter, and our host, Connor, ran the party like a pro. Things were running a little late, both on our end and theirs, but he kept us informed and the arcade games kept the girls happy in the meantime. It is a rather small place, which I liked, to keep track of the kids in our party and it was easier to round them up for the laser tag, which all 11 of the littl

This was our first Lazer Tag experience and it was definitely a great one. Large well-organized laser tag arena. Helpful staff that explains everything with maps of the place and detailed instructions about how to play. We really had a great time. Also a nice-sized game room and food.

Having my son's birthday party here could not have been easier. I reserved it online a few weeks ahead of time and just showed up and everything was taken care of. Great service and they went out of their way to help the younger kids that were a little intimidated by the arena to make sure everyone was able to participate and have a good time. The kids can't stop talking about it!

We held my little brother's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Sarah was the staff member assigned to his party, and she was incredibly attentive and professional. She helped with cake and presents and made sure all of the kids had a great time. Wonderful experience overall!

BEST PLACE TO HOLD A PARTY!!!! This was the second time we held our son's birthday party here. So easy to book online, they were totally prepared for us. Having personal coordinators for laser tag and serving pizza and cake is awesome!!!! Thanks Laser Storm!!!! PS. So nice to have a clean house after a party ;)

My husband and I took a group of 16 high school seniors to experience the team building option at Laser Storm. It was such a great experience! The students had an opportunity to learn about communication, strategy, and leadership while having a blast! We can't say enough about the staff as well. They were so helpful and attentive and passionate about what they do! We highly recommend Laser Storm and look forward to returning soon!

My daughter had her birthday party here and it was fantastic! Our hostess, Sarah, was very friendly and kept things moving along. They were very accommodating to any last-minute changes and all of the kids had a blast!

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.
