Customer Reviews

Attended a birthday party here. I used to be a member here about 20 years ago. Not much has changed. Everything seemed to go smoothly, we played 3 games. Nobody seemed to have laser problems. The staff was friendly. We only did party vs party, so it would of been nice to switch up the games. Although the kids didn't mind.

We had such a great time here! First time ever for my daughter to try laser tag and now she knows where she wants to have her birthday party! The "Tag Til You Drag" option is just the best, and it worked out really well for us to be able to play with the larger groups too. Fun arcade setup for the little bit of down time in between games. Great staff, I'm impressed and can't wait to come back!

Celebrated my nephew's 13th birthday here. No issues with the birthday party flow or the laser tag setup we had three games. That was fun and we got hungry Howie's Pizza which I was surprised considering normally I feel like it's Little Caesars everywhere. The arcade games were all age friendly. We had kids from 15 months and up and they all played. My only downfall is when we needed the staff. They're on their cell phones and in their little back room area that you could see from the arcade floor. Otherwis

We haven't been here in a while but we came for a birthday party. There is a small arcade area with a decent mix of games for older kids and younger kids. The party rooms can get a bit cramped but if you're only using them to eat, have cake, & hold your stuff then they serve their purpose. It's a clean facility and although I don't have high expectations for public restrooms in these types of high traffic establishments the ladies room was exceptionally clean. The staff was courteous and kind. I would consi

Awesome facility! My husband and I hosted our daughters10th birthday here! Laser tag was a major hit with the kids and some of the adults. Great family fun at an affordable price! I appreciated the attentiveness of our host! We definitely plan on going again soon.

This is the best laser tag facility I have ever seen, multiple levels in the play area. Many different games they have for the laser tag! I definitely recommend over total sports, and CJ Barrymore's. Twice the play space and always plenty of people to fill up the games!! ??

Great place to take the kids to get rid of some excess energy. 2.5 hrs of laser tag for $15 on a Saturday? Yes please. Arcades are a throw in. Combine this with the AMC Gratiot movie theater just down the parking lot and you have the recipe for a good family outing. Staff is friendly and helpful. No food is a bit of a downer but they at least have lush snacks and drinks. Can't complain too much when prices are very good in comparison.

Over the weekend we had the absolute pleasure of hosting my son's birthday party at Revolution Laser Tag. From the time of booking right up to the end of the party, the owner, Kevin, was above and beyond accommodating. I can't stress enough how seamless this party was and was a spot-on perfect setting for a 7 year old's birthday party. Heck, my 37 year old friend is going to be calling to book his birthday party here in May. Fun for ALL ages. My husband, another parent, and myself even partook in laser tag

First time here, we came for new years with the kids. We over all were very happy with everything. The only issues we had were seating at first (they quickly resolved the problem), and other people in the arena. It's pretty dark and I got hit several times in the face with other people's guns by mistake turning corners too fast. Not sure if it is preventable too much just part of the game. Wish it was longer seeing as we drove pretty far to come. Staff was very kind polite and attentive. The facility is cle

A woman choked me and staff let them in for another game. i?m a kid. Also notified staff police were on the way and they ?don't know? how to operate the cameras. will NEVER be coming back.

We decided to have a quick family outting with our son and we been to a few "arcades" places with him. This wasn't terrible but it wasnt the best either. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the laser tag arena was huge but the arcade game selection was a little "selective". I wish it was bigger but for the prices and what they have to offer i guess its not too bad. Its also "weird" that thy dont serve food there but to each its own.

Great Laser Tag, Poor Arcade, Cold Food. We hosted a birthday party here, and the laser tag area was definitely the highlight?it was well-designed, and everyone had a lot of fun. However, the arcade was disappointing; many of the games were outdated, mostly empty claw machines or just not worth the cost. On top of that, the staff felt a bit too pushy, tried multiple times rushing us to play the next round of laser tag making the experience feel more stressful than it needed to be. The pizza included was

Great weekend fun. We took our son and several of his friends for the wristband option at 12-6. That's 6hrs of laser tag. It did get busy but we managed between birthdays and walk-ins. The price also includes 2 slices of pizza and soda. Kids had a great time and we will definitely be back.

I am so glad we chose this arcade to host my son?s 8th birthday party!! I'll start with when we came in, the manager and staff were very helpful in letting my son?s father and I everything about how the party is going to work. They let us keep our cupcakes in their fridge, told us when our laser tag sessions will be, got everything straight on the pizza and pop, and answers any questions we had. When all the kids arrived they all were checked in and given their wristbands and play card. We chose the Cosmic

Terrible. Staff completely unsatisfactory had to leave mid match due to issues with players/ other people not part of mine n not able to be refunded after dropped over $200 only wanted money back for what didn't use and they can't even understand basic logic. Never again going here. Lazar tag or anywhere better!! Beware this can ruin anyone's lazar tag experience.

We had a party here for my nephew, Timmy, who turned 11 and it was just awesome and all the kids had an amazing fun time and thank you to Kevin who helped make this all possible. ??????

Just had my son?s 10th birthday party here and it was a great time. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a place to have a party.

It seems wrong to call this place "Laser Tag" because it evokes visions of expensive little arenas, long waits, and getting clobbered by little kids who can't seem to follow the "Don't Run" rule. Little kids: Yes. 7-13 is pretty common. But so are teens, 20s and some 30-somethings, and plenty of Moms/Dads (playing along with the kids). If the kids wanted to sit out a game at a competitor's place, I'd feel weird playing alone. I don't here (and I'm older than the 30-somethings). My kids love this so muc

I love this place I have been going here for years. I bring all my friends and my family to have a fun family bonding time or to battle friends vs friends.

A really nice arena with lots of features. The owners were very welcoming. They allow for private parties if you want to rent the whole arena. As a bonus, the lobby is filled with arcade games you can play to win prizes. ??

This is a great place for family fun. Where else can you go for $15/3 hours of fun per person. We had to have played 10 games of laser tag in 3 hours. The staff is always friendly, and they honestly try to get you in for as many games as they can in your allotted time. We went here for a birthday party a couple of years back and have been back a number of times since then for some family fun. This is truthfully one of Macomb County's best kept secrets for fun at a reasonable price.

Highly highly recommend hosting a party here!!! We just had my sons 10th birthday party here and it was a blast! Every employee we encountered was friendly and nice. But Kevin, the guy in charge of everything, was awesome! So accommodating, friendly, and would check on us to make sure we didn't need anything. I would hands down host here again. My kids had a great time, the laser tag was fun, the arcade is great, it's clean. The process of ordering and all of the planning was so simple. We will be back to p

They've switched owners so many times, it's crazy. But since November, there are new owners, and it's much better. The last owners and the workers were really... Creepy. This has been my favorite laser tag place for a very long time. It's much better now, trust me.

Had my kids 11th birthday here. Decent pizza, tasted like jets but boxed in hungry howies. Kids had fun though. Would book again.

I'm a little disappointed, yesterday I had my sons birthday party there ( this is like the 2nd or 3rd time doing so.) And this young boy who worked there was vary rude. Rest of the stuff was great. When we played our first game of laser tag I asked for my sons gun to be put on one hand shooting. Nope this kid question me and said no. My son is in ot and I wasn't sure if he was fine with the two handed. This is an Accommodation that this place has done for us every time we go and yet this time this young boy

Had a great time with my kids. Seemed to have a large selection of different game modes that were fun to try.

I Recently visited here for a kids birthday party that another person was hosting, and everybody had a lot of fun. The kids and the adults had a blast playing laser tag, and they also have a decent little selection of video games and midway classics like skee-ball.

This was such a a fun place to host a birthday party. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The laser tag area seemed huge. We had a great time.

The kids always have such a great time here, although it's way too easy to spend too much money here. At least it's an active thing to do with the kids regardless of the weather!

I LOVED IT!!! Great employees and great fun! I tried to pick off as many children I could. My granddaughter had a fun birthday!

It's a fun laser tag experience. I give three stars because this place seems to allow, literal toddlers, to run around with teenagers. It's dangerous. The toddlers aren't even given a vest to light up- so they are just running around in the dark calling out for mommy/daddy. Laser tag is about rough housing. It's one thing that the parents lack common sense parenting skills, but it would be nice if the establishment helped prevent possible injuries. I can't tell you the amount of times yesterday, my group of

The manager, Kevin, is so helpful. My daughter and her friends had such a good time at her birthday party. The party package is awesome and a great value. We also appreciate the support of local schools and churches in the community by this business.

They have amazing birthday packages! We recently went on a Sunday and we had the whole place to ourselves so we could play laser tag against each other! The arcade is nice for waiting for your laser tag game to start. Really like this place! We will continue to go here!

It would have been much more fun if one regular wasn't playing in every game. He was mainly shooting the "auto gunturret killing orbs". Those were never explained to us.

We play a few times every year besides losing to kids it's fun for all sizes

I want to thank Kevin and the crew at Revolution Laser Tag. I am beyond happy how my sons 8th birthday party turned out. They did an amazing job and the kids had a blast and some parents even want to book parties there in the future and also some parents joined in on the fun . They are great with communication before the party if you have any questions and also during the party. Thank you again for an awesome time!!!

Awesome place! Everyone was very nice and professional. The facility is first rate and extremely well done. We had my sons birthday party there and it was perfect. All of the boys that we invited had fun. I would recommend Laser Edge as your first choice in places to play Laser Tag!

Just had my 9 year olds party there, and it was awesome! I'm not sure who had more fun...the kids or the adults! Kevin and the rest of the staff were amazing. They took great care of us and tended to all our party needs. The place is spotless clean, the arcade games are well priced, and the laser tag arena is plenty large enough.

Brought a few friends with my 12 year old bday girl yesterday. Every staff member was beyond friendly. The girls especially had a great experience with young lady named Jordyn, who they called Ms Nice Lady. Was able to have "best birthday party ever" for a very reasonable price. We will be back for sure!

The prices are great for small birthday parties. My 7 year old loved his special day there. It's the perfect mix for young and older participants to enjoy themselves together. The staff was very polite and extremely helpful through the entire event! I will recommend Revolution Laser Tag to everyone!

Had a great time yesterday with 4 kids. 3 games of laser tag and an arcade card for everyone for under $100 is great value. $1 for soda. Friendly staff too, special mention to the girl at the prize counter for being so nice and patient with my kids.

We really had a whole lot of fun here with the kids! I do wish that we were able to play each game for a little while longer however (maybe just like an additional 15 minutes or so). I do think it would be a little bit better if there were some actual places to hid in & even to camp out in briefly too. Every spot u are at here, someone can come up on you &/or shoot you from at LEAST 2 directions- & usually more! But I'm sure that for some/many people, that's how they like it. Its neat set up & I really like

The party went really well. My only issue was lack of a time schedule to get everything in. Perhaps the party rooms need to be available a little longer. All that said, we were able to stay in the room for about an hour past the end time because there was no party after ours. That worked out wonderfully since it took longer for dinner, dessert and gift opening than we had room time for. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would give it 4 and a half stars, but it won't let me do a half star.

This place has great deals for pricing and is very fun for the whole family! We went for the Friday 5-8p unlimited laser tag deal which was only $15 a person (unlimited games!) They can hold something like 35-38 players per game (I can't recall which he said) and new games go like every 15 minutes so we played A LOT of games. It wasn't too crowded so we got to go in each round. They also have a 2hr unlimited arcade card so we played arcade games in between some of the rounds and then at the end. The 2 hr ti

I've been here twice. Once a couple of years ago and more recently. Under new management this place is great! New equipment and renovations and a great team.

Great laser tag experience! Went there with a work group and we broke up into 2 teams. The staff was very kind and helpful. The facility was clean and the bathrooms were much cleaner and up kept than expected. This was my first time there, so it was a little more complicated than I expected. After 3 rounds, I got the hang of it. The actual course was awesome! There were a lot of mazes and places to sneak up on your enemy. I would go again and bring a group of friends.

Great place, you would think it would be small but the laser tag arena is quite large and it's very well put together. Best place to go in Clinton TWP

Had my sons birthday party there this evening and everything went great. They were very accommodating and the kids all had a great time. Thanks again :)5

Been playing here with my kids for years and it never gets old. Such a fun place to spend our time. Between the huge arena, arcade, and pleasant staff you can't go wrong checking this place out.

We had my daughter's 5th birthday party there this year. It is a wonderful place. Everyone loved playing laser tag, and the arcade games were so much fun!! The employees here are always so welcoming and helpful. We can't wait to go back next year!!

Lots of fun. Gets busy on weekends, 1 major annoyance was having to skip games after buying the Unlimited pass because they are too busy, if you pay extra for unlimited you should be able to play EVERY game. I WONT make that mistake again, and recommend you dont either - dont fall for the scam "Unlimited". Just buy game-by-game. Bring your own refreshments. In between games they have ONE person working the counter. And hes SLOW. We waited, and waited, and waited..... gave up trying to buy a measly bottled w

Threw my daughter's 11th birthday there. All the kids seemed to enjoy their self. I've never been there before so i wish there was just a little more direction. Other then was a very pleasant party.

Could have gone to an arcade and had more fun. My sister set it up for my nephew's birthday November 14th.The laser tag room was not that great. The room with a separate for parties was very small. The place altogether is too small for any social distancing for those who are worried about that. I wouldn't go back.

I scheduled my daughter's birthday party here a couple months back and tried my best to schedule it at a time where it would be less patrons, but they had every party room filled, and it was hard to move inside due to the number of people there. I paid for one of the party rooms and yet, many of my guests were forced to stand due to lack of chairs.. My big issue is that they do not allow you to bring in outside food except for cake and ice cream, which forces you to buy pizza directly from them. Unbeknown

Very disappointing. Virtually no seating unless you are in a party room. I bought the ?tag til you drag? for me and my boys and in 3 hours we were only able to play 3 games. I do NOT recommend.

We had my daughters 8th birthday here and everyone had a great time!! The staff was friendly and patient. The party was very affordable too!!

Fun for kids, and adults! We had 15 vs. 15 at one point. Huge course, and an absolute blast for any type of party. A little wait I'm between each game, but managed to get us all in with plenty of play. Definitely something to do on a rainy day.

This place caters to a small group of regulars and treats casual patrons like garbage. The staff is friendly enough, but are ill equipped to handle the poor sportsmanship and frequent aggressive behavior from regular attendees. It's a shame because this place has so much potential.

I have never played laser tag before and this place was a lot of fun. The only thing is that they didn't explain the rules or what the objectives or targets are. New up date. On April 21, 2018 I had my son's 10th birthday party. I was 41 weeks pregnant and I need a place to have a party that I didn't have to do much. The only thing I brought was cake and ice cream and the silverware to cut cake and scoop the ice cream. They organized the kids for not only the lazer tag games but also the food presents and

Came here with a group and they were quite accommodating. Laser tag was fun and they have an arcade type setup in the waiting/hangout area. Could use a little bit of love but certainly had a great time.

Love this place! Definitely the best laser tag on the east side of Michigan. Pizza, drink and 4 hours of laser tag package is wonderful. My boys love it and their dad does roo. They have party rooms too.

Hosted a birthday party. It was a great time and everyone had fun. Very understanding and checked in frequently to see if needed anything more. Also even though our party ran over never felt as if we were being rushed to leave.

Love the game,staff and updated setting. That said i give this place by itself 10/10 BUT THE DOWN SIDE.[THIS IS OUT OF THERE CONTROL. Stupid ppl acting younger and mor immature than My 10 year old. I know u never wanna kick ppl out but honestly some nees to go. There have been times i pulled up saw a crazy group and left so i didnt have to deal w them. I feel bad as i wanna play prices and games are great but i cannot nor will not deal with dumb ppl acting crazy. To restate it again the STAFF AND PLACE IS

Came all the way from toledo ohio for the 3 hour laser tag only to be told after our first round we had to sit out and wait for other groups necause they are busy today......I'm sorry but definitely should be posted so on site saying if we're busy it's not a 3 hrs tag til you drop like online says on your website will not be back We left to one better and closer to home! Waste of gas and money

This is the 2nd birthday party we have had a revolution laser tag and again they did not disappoint. They continually check up on the party and make sure you have everything you need. Great place and great prices.

I had my son's 10th birthday party here. I had a total of 12 kids at.the party and was so amazed as to how easy it all worked out! My son had a blast! All the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves and had so much fun playing laser tag and the arcade games. The staff was extremely nice and.helpful. Very accomodating with anything extra I needed such as plates, napkins..etc. They even allowed the parents who were interested to see inside the room where they get the gear on and inside the "arena" to see

Great place for a kids party. They took care of us for everything and the kids had a great time. The staff is really good and friendly.

They Handel the food and entertainment during birthday parties. Everyone loves laser tag and staff couldn't be better. 3rd birthday party I had for my kid there, wish I started going earlier

Over all is was OK. Just not what I expected for decorations... It seemed bare and a bit "cold". If I would have known they only put table cloths on your main table to eat then I would of suppiled more. The gift table had no cloth on it..looked super cheap and cheesy for $220 + I expected more. Also bring your own forks, knives, and cups! If you do a party of 10 plan on spending an extra $100 on tokens. Was kind of dissappointed over all. Also no one directs you to the party room when guests arrive. Just a

Had a party and the room was set up modestly but the evenings events did not synchronize or flow together. There was a lot of empty gaps of waiting for staff to come get us for the next step of the event and then all of a sudden we would have to rush to eat cake, open gifts, before another step in the evening. At one point we were allowed to enter laser tag as a group, one of our party had to report to a parent so he stepped aside for a moment. He was then not allowed to join our gathering he was left in th

Love this place, kids love this place. It's fun to spend the day here, only issues are that a unlimited wristband should be able to go every time and not have to wait more than two times to go. Buy the wristband, you at least get your money's worth when you do.

(Still calling it) Laser Edge has been around for a very long time. Out of all the laser tag places I've visited, Laser Edge is THE best. To get the coolest experience, you have to do an overnighter-- that's when they bust out all of the fun games. I really enjoy that after it has been over 10 years, I can sport the same vest names. The staff is really cool and I have to say that if you're a dooshbag to them, don't follow the rules, or are mean to others.. You're gonna have a bad time (any bad reviewers wer

I forgot how fun laser tag was. They even gave a free extra game on top of the 3 paid for

Love going here affordable and they have nice prizes for the kids staff is always helpful

Very disappointed! Being asked by management to take my niece & daughter off of games, unless we are paying is so petty! My friend paid well over $200 for a birthday party of 8 kids, and 3 separate times we were told if the kids aren't paying to play the game they must get off (Keep in mind I'm speaking of toddlers). There are 4 motorcycle games there. My daughter was sitting on one, I was told she needed to get off the game to make it available to people in case they want to play it. No one was playing any

A little on the dated side in the party room. Really could use a makeover. Otherwise a pretty standard arcade (some games work and some don't.) Overall the kids seem to have a good time.

The staff is awesome, and extremely friendly! !!! I can tell they actually care about people and want to help them have a great experience playing laser tag!!! I would definitely recommend Laser Tag of Clinton Township to anyone wanting to play laser tag, or even have a fun evening out!!!!!!

Best lazer tag course I've ever been too and have been coming here for years, new owners kind of creepy. Also I wouldn't recommend Christian music in a public business if the manager or owner is reading this, I get it you guys love Jesus but it makes me uncomfortable and as a paying customer I would appreciate it if you played somthing else. With that being said I didn't mind the staff they where almost to friendly but I can't really say that's a bad thing. But ultimately I don't agree with what the owners

THEY ARE NOT OPEN DUE TO BUILDING NOT UP TO CODE EVEN THOUGH WEBSITE SAYS THEY ARE OPEN!!!

So much fun. Staff was very friendly. Rented a party room & all the kids had a great time.

This is my personal all time favorite place to play laser tag. They also offer birthday services and have a few arcade game including ski ball and basketball. Always a good time when I go here.

This is my go-to laser tag location. I've tried different arenas all over the Midwest and this one is by far the most fun imo! The people there are always very friendly and the tag-till-you-drag is a great deal.

Great customer service and a lot of fun

My family had a lot of fun at Laser Tag and the man working the tickets/prizes was extremely accommodating, patient and kind, especially to my 3 year old who just wanted a pink puppy from the claw machine.

I love playing laser tag, though I don't get to play it very often, so I don't have a wide view of different places. However, this place is really fun to hang out, play some games, and pretend to shoot people using fake guns. The staff is very nice and friendly. I only have two minor complaints. The first is when you enter the briefing room before each match and they ask, "Who has never played before?" There's ALWAYS at least ONE person who will raise their hand, no matter how many games you play in a row.

The people here are great! I go here practically every other Friday and the owners of this place are really nice and I'm just also really good at Lazar tag??

Had a great birthday party. Staff was very nice and helpful with everything!

Kids had a great time! I wish we had been informed that we would be sharing the laser tag room w another group when we scheduled our party though.

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.”

Are rhythm games in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, rhythm games in arcades are a vibrant hit in 2025! Titles like Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania deliver high-energy fun, blending music, movement, and precision. Modern machines boast vivid displays, booming sound systems, and diverse song libraries, from J-pop to EDM. They challenge reflexes and rhythm, with competitive leaderboards and tournaments fostering a lively community. Arcade dance floors are regularly packed, proving rhythm games’ immersive, physical thrill keeps them a standout in today’s gaming scene.

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?
