Customer Reviews

Ultrazone Bailey's Crossroads is hands down the best laser tag experience in the area! We went with my daughter's basketball team for an end-of-season party, and it was fantastic -we had an absolute blast! The arena is huge, filled with ramps and cool lighting that makes every game super exciting. The place is pretty well-equiped. All equipments work perfectly and they've got enough equipments and gears in 4 different colors allowing 4 teams to compete at once. Staff was supervising every game from the begi

My daughter and I love it here. But the down side is playing with people that work there. It isn't fun because they do this strange side thing; moving the blaster up and down quick. And you can't tag them back. It makes it unbearable. Will not return because of this.

Went to a kid birthday party at Ultrazone Bailey?s Crossroads, and my kiddo had a blast! From the outside it appears to be rather small, but once you get inside it opens ALOT! There are so many games for kiddos of various ages and sizes. The is a card system so it's completely cashless and that's ok with me. There isn't a toy/prize area which I truly loved. Nothing like kids getting a ton of tickets to then have to exchange them for useless crap that you eventually throw away. There were separate room

COME OUT AND PLAY! I came here last weekend with my family. We had an unforgettable time and experience! It was our first time playing laser tag and all the employees guided us with very detailed instructions and made it easier for my children to understand! We got to play around 9 rounds of laser tag each for $25/person which is super great especially if you are on a budget! The arena was super cool with all the marvel characters and dc characters glowing the uv light! My kiddos loved it! Amazing quality

Awesome place to have a birthday party. Lazer tag was so much fun a day the arcade was just as much fun to.

Great place! However the Prices went up which is Understandable, but they close early now from 12am to now 11am. We are basically PAYING MORE for less. Especially if we still have a lot of folks ready to play. I remember the place use to close at 1am before covid but that was long ago. I hope management fix this because this is a great place for gatherings and fun. GREAT laser-tag gyms in DC. Huge shout out to Ben the Game Master, he knows his stuff. 2.5 Stars out of 5!

I leave ultra zone feeling incredibly conflicted. On one hand, the staff was helpful and the maze was intricate and fun. On the other hand, my friends and I were incessantly berated by several older men who staff labeled ?the regulars? the entire time. At one point, I even asked the older gentlemen to kindly let us be so we can actually play but they were not interested in what I had to say. I don't know if I'll return, but if I do, I'll be sure to call ahead to confirm ?the regulars? are not present.

I would give this place 5 stars but truthfully, there were other patrons that ruined the experience. My friends and I were playing laser tag and some of the ?regulars? (competitive laser tag players) were extremely disrespectful. These players ganged up on us and were very rude. We asked them to take it easy on us but they refused. Overall those guys tainted our experience. Staff were great though.

Had a great time! The place was well-run and everything went smoothly. Eleni and Alador were especially kind and helpful?Eleni made sure we were all set from the start, and Alador explained everything clearly and was really patient with our group. Their friendliness made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Had our son?s 9th birthday party here this past week. First time outsourcing from our home or a park and it was the best decision! We did the no frills but added on an extra round of laser tag. (Who can play just one round?) They really take care of everything, especially Eleni our party host. She was top notch and made us and the birthday boy truly feel special. Thanks Ultrazone! We will definitely be coming back.

My son just had Birthday with his friends! They had a blast!!!! Highly recommended for the group of the boys! We love how they prepared the BD decorations and the time leghth was perfect!

Great service!! I went there with my boyfriend and I. We got the 3 game pass, at first we didn't understand that we had to punch our cards after each game, but afterwards we spoke to the manager. she was very friendly and helped us 100% of the way, even when we had a lot of questions about the vests, arena, etc!! Great experience and all the staff I encountered were all respectful and delightful!! Will come again! ??

Went there with friends and paid for 3 rounds. After two rounds, we were waiting for them to start the 3rd round but took a while so we went and asked when it would start because they were cleaning without saying anything. The guy working there was very sweet and nice and said he wasnt she so he asked the lady manager. She was very rude to say the least. She said they werent doing anymore rounds and we could use our cards next time because they stopped laser tag for the night. We were never told that they w

Nice laser tag place. Packed on a Saturday which is a good sign. Good course for kids and adults alike. Employees helpful and friendly. They had a good online deal for 3 games for 20 bucks which is better than any other laser tag place I've seen. I was disappointed that the rules weren't more thoroughly explained, there was a lot of learning on the fly. There is only the one way of playing (4 different teams) which is why I only gave 4 stars. Other courses let you do free for all, juggernaut, zombies, etc.

I had a great time tonight at Ultrazone! The manager, Eleni, was enthusiastic and made everything easy and fun for my friends and me. The arena was huge and the games seemed so long - in the best way!! Would highly recommend and will return!

Went here with like 30 other kids, Noah was our Marshall, and Noah was great. super helpful, nice, always looking to help. definitely will be coming back soon!!

Birthday Party review. We had a blast this weekend for a boys birthday party with 12 of his friends. The staff was super nice and helpful the entire party. One of the ladies from the front desk helped us carry in cupcakes, balloons and a couple bags from the car. Then told us not to worry, they would set everything up. Once the party started, our assigned game host kept everything moving, made sure all of our guests had plenty of pizza and drinks. The kids had a blast playing laser tag and enjoying all the

I went into Ultrazone with my family this weekend, and we had so much fun! The staff were amazing, and I know it gets busy but they did great with keeping everything organized. It is a great place to bring your kids for a fun activity, and it is actually a great workout!! Lol. I would totally recommend coming here if you ever have a free day in your schedule!

Great location, highly recommend. Clean, modern and the staff is friendly. We had a party and all the utensils and drinks were provided. Pizza is from Pizza Hut. The party rooms were nicely decorated. The laser tag arena is large and fun. Equipment is updated.

This place is pretty fun, the laser tag arena is pretty big and has great design to it, plenty of room and keeps the game exciting and competitive. The staff is pretty helpful as well. Overall had a great time.

We had my son's 13th bday party here and they had a BLAST. It was so fun to see the kids just be kids! And the Ultrazone team really runs it like a well-oiled machine. We did the party package with 2 games, pizza, etc. We had another kid join us late notice and it was fine. We ended up ordering a few more pizzas because again, it was 13 year old boys. I would say 2 slices per kid is usually good if they are younger. So either add more pizza when you order the package, or maybe bring some extra on your own.

Ultrazone has a great environment! I went with my friends, and the workers were super nice and helpful! This is a great place to bring your kids if you want to have some fun! Will definitely be coming back!

Ultra zone is an amazing birthday party spot. I took my nephew for his 12th birthday with a big group of people (10 children), and all staff were incredibly friendly and took care of everything. Host Parker stood out a lot, definitely deserving of a raise, she was the one who brought in my nephews cake and was super into singing the Happy Birthday song. Will definitely be going back to Ultra Zone in the future!!!

m the moment we stepped into the laser tag arena, Ben?s presence was nothing short of extraordinary. His professionalism, charisma, and deep understanding of how to create an engaging and immersive experience made our visit unforgettable. Not only did he ensure that every aspect of the game ran smoothly, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled level of enthusiasm that elevated the entire experience. Ben exudes an infectious energy that immediately hypes up players of all ages. His ability to seamlessly ex

KB was so helpful for our party of 17! She was patient & kind to walk us through the payments. We really appreciated her service! Giveeee herrrr a raise

At this location, I had a very good experience with a recent birthday party I attended for my child. The party hosts were superb and provided the kids with great service and an amazing time! Would highly recommend for any age children and especially for birthday parties! Ps, they do everything and you as a parent can just sit back and relax.

Ultrazone continues to be a great stop as part of our senior class trip to the DC/VA area. The staff is easy to work with, seems to enjoy the evening with our students, and is always cooperative! The laser tag arena is a nice size, and the arcade area has some great games!

Good option for kids birthday party. Parents can go over to REI or look into other activities around the area, ballet, gymnastics and martial arts. Ultrazone has Lazer tag, arcade and activities great to keep a group of children busy for a few hours.

Very nice place. Not very big. The games were fun. My kids played all three games of lazer tag. My little one played the video games . Staff was super nice . We will Return when in town.

Ben best employee he's so helpful and everything all the girls want him to he likes rizzing the players(11 year olds) and taught me moves

Hosted a birthday party here, and it was terrific. The laser tag area is bigger and more dynamic than I imagined it would be. The staff was friendly and really made sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone had a great time. Highly recommend.

Ben and cyana was very nice. 10/10 good customer service. They cheated in laser tag.

Just had my son 10th birthday party here and it was FANTASTIC! It went super smooth!! The staff were extremely professional and kind. I would recommend parents to book parties here if you are looking for a venue that will keep your kids entertained and give them lots of space to run around. Very hassle-free for the parents and fun for the kids.

Absolutely amazing experience every time. Staff are friendly and treat everyone well, which extends to make a good time for everyone there. The variety of game modes makes it so you're never bored and some enjoy it here so much they come every week which says something.

A great place to bring your family to have fun. The workers are great and helpful.

KB was wonderful to work with - made it easy to host my daughter's birthday party

The worker overcharged my card and didn't give the money back the place is very unorganized and the staff aren't at the counter most of the time definitely not going back this is very disrespectful

Great place to bring your friends and play. Lots of kids to play against. Game Masters always watching. Great arena setup and pictures on the walls was AWESOME. Hope to be back soon

Kids have fun but bad smell (from the carpet) it definitely needs renovation

Very unsafe place. My son got hurt very badly from the beach since the beach was not attached at all to the wall and still has the sharp metal things only from one side of the bench.

Ben and Yoyo, They were very helpful. They made the experience more engaging.

My kid left a retainer on the table and they threw it away, which is understandable. But when I called they had just closed and put almost zero effort into helping me find it. I didn't have the option to look in the trash myself because they were closed and I could tell they really couldn't care less and just wanted to leave. I work in an office and when my customer has a problem we jump. Unfortunately these guys don't have the same respect for their customers. Now I'm out hundreds of dollars.

Kids had a an awesome time. I have had several parties there, and I am always pleased by the service.

Too much traffic in small space, poor lighting but management was good.

Lots of fun, small selection of arcade games to keep you busy in between laser tag rounds. Good mix of people playing. Great coordination from the ultrazone team.

This place has been open for many years. It's reason why. Great laser tag and 2 levels! Give it a try. Nice workout also

Over stimulating is an understatement. Fun but can be overwhelming walking in the door for the first time. The actual Lazer tag was fun. Great layout.

My son and I enjoy playing laser tag here, but the priority here are parties. We went the other day and had to wait an hour for a game and then were made to feel out of place because we weren't part of the birthday parties when playing our game. My son was disappointed. Just need to come when there aren't as many parties or older teens that crush my son in the game.

Went for the laser tag and played 3 games. An excellent amount of fun!!

First visit and we had a blast!! Shout out to Alan, for his excellent customer service. He did a great job explaining the process. I don't know if this is a secret or not, but for the 3 game special, you can space them out. Considering, my children and I were exhausted with everything offered, we still have 2 laser games each, to enjoy in the future. Nice and quiet spot, too!!

I have been a loyal patron of Ultrazone's laser tag facility for some time now, and I must say, tonight's experience was a remarkable testament to the level of excellence the establishment is capable of achieving. The staff were undoubtedly on point, operating with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. Despite the presence of two relatively full groups running back-to-back, the staff maintained a consistent pace throughout the games, ensuring that players were able to enjoy a seamless and uninterrupted

The staff and management were Amazing ?? and extremely helpful. This is honestly one of the best activities children can do with friends and family...

Arcade is small, but you come here for laser tag and that is really fun. 15 minutes of play for $12. Kids and adults love it. Also a great workout.

Ultrazone does not pick up the phone. Their phone tree is circular: ".... our times are xyz. Please leave a message if you would like a call back. Our times are xyz. Please leave a message if you would....." without ever giving you the opportunity to A) talk to someone B) leave a message. The website only gives you the opportunities to Book Parties, and doesn't give you prices for showing up impromptu with a few friends. Meaning the only opportunity I have to speak with someone is to go into the store pers

I went there to celebrate my cousins birthday, he's 20 now, and we had a blast. It was a decent size group of us and we did laser tag which was only $23 from I believe 9:00-12:00 at night. It wasn't too over crowded and we played with a decent amount of people.

I was told to come here by some friends, and I am so glad I did. This one the best laser tag experience I have had in such a long time. This establishment is very nice, and all the staff are very friendly. Eleni was a huge help for us whenever we had any questions! I definitely will be back!!

Don't waste your money, it's way over priced and in a few words pretty wack for an arcade

Lots of fun for the young and young-at-heart in every family. 15 minute competitive team based game will get the heart pumping! If it's your first time you'll likely lose to a team of return visitors. But once you've played a few time you'll be in the hunt for a win against the other teams. To me it seemed that the ideal team size is 8-11 people. Come up with a strategy or you'll be walking targets, literally!

We had our son?s 13th birthday party three weeks back and the whole experience was just fantastic!! Everything was very well organized by the place and the birthday room was very well lit and maintained!! Kids did say that they had an amazing laser tagging experience and the pizzas and cupcakes which we ordered from them as part of the birthday package were exceptionally delicious!!! Everyone loved everything there and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Excellent management and great fun place too. V

Sweet spot, had fun with our Ruah International Ministry Church. We were 3 and 0 against other teams so yeah. GOD BLESS

If I could give 0 stars I would. Unless you are part of a birthday group they literally could care less about you and the money you spent. It was extremely disorganized and we waited an hour and a half to play one game, each game is 15 minutes. They should do birthday groups and the general public separately as having 40 people in one game running around is extremely dangerous, especially with kids and adults together. Save your money and time and go somewhere else.

We celebrated my son?s birthday at Ultrazone and it was an easy, seamless experience from start to finish. I booked online, finalized the head count with a friendly young woman who called to confirm 2 days beforehand, and was greeted warmly at reception when we arrived for the party. Everyone working knew the birthday child?s name and what room we were in-no guests were lost trying to find us. Our host kept the pace moving smoothly the entire event time. He anticipated our needs and provided excellent servi

I went here with friends recently, it was a lot of fun and the employees were very helpful. Some of my friends haven't done something like this before and they got the help they needed quickly and they said the equipment was nice and easy for them to pick up quick as well as being in good condition. The 3 game package is a great deal and well worth it if you're looking for a good time!

This is a great establishment! The staff was very nice. Eleni was very helpful and professional! We purchased power play recommended by Eleni and it's definitely worth the $22.99! We will be back!

My son has had two birthday parties here (when he turned 6&7), and each experience was delightful! The party hosts were incredibly kind and helped all the kids (some of whom were quite small) negotiate the laser tag games. Near the end, the kids got arcade cards loaded with credit to play the many games available. It's a nice way to wrap up a party. They supply all the party necessities and are fine with bringing in extra food and drinks. We'll be back!

My friends and I had a blast playing the unlimited games deal, played for a solid 5 hours and never got bored. Staff were really helpful and fun, even played with us. I will definitely be returning.

No water fountain! No way! Dude's im so flipping thirsty and you have to PAY for water. Specifically, $2.50 for it. Dude, after game 3, my throat is so raspy that I sound like a cigarette smoker ??. 0 stars!!!!!! ??

It's not too bad. Has barely any seating all the way in the back, its cramped & tight when full - you pretty much stand around, but prices are reasonable. They have 2-3 party rooms for reservation, a small arcade with fun & new games, climbing rock wall & of course, laser tag which my kids loved.

First time here, loved the ambience of the place. The retro style. The staff were kind, patient, quite friendly and helpful. The Game Master who helped me, Rebecca, is very knowledgeable and helped me with informative explanations on lazer tag etiquette and safety. I appreciate her and the staff on hand for showing me the ropes. I have never had so much fun. Truly amazing experience. Will come again. It's a great workout. ??

Fantastic experience! We hosted our Brownie troop end of year party here and had a great time. Our host was fun and helpful, and very attentive to our group. My kids have attended several parties here recently and we've found there to be a great improvement over the prior ownership.

We came for a birthday party. The staff were extremely nice and professional. I didn't get to see the laser tag area since the area was full. My son had fun though. Other parents have said it's a lot of fun. Will try to go back to see if I can play then I'll leave a more detailed review. As far as the area Ultrazone is located, it's very cramped. We had a hard time finding parking. There were a ton of kids at the place. It was a madhouse, but then again that's expected on a Saturday. Overall, it wa

This is an amazing place for a birthday party! The hosts made it so easy and the kids had so much fun. I highly recommend it!

My son loves this place! Great fun, but bring your own water if your not attending a party. It gets hot in there and water is $3 a bottle. Wish they offered all you can play bands for 12 and under during the afternoon hours

This review is really mine as a parent. My kids would give this place 5 stars - they LOVE it. As a parent, though, I find that it's expensive, and really dirty/dingy inside, and the parking lot is a fiasco. There really isn't great seating for parents who are waiting while their kids play laser tag. I wish they had a nice seating area and maybe the ability to buy bottled water or something from a vending machine while you wait. The kids absolutely love it, though.

Went here with my bf during the day. It was the best! Peaches was at the counter and she made everything so easy for us to pick from. She was sweet and very professional. Her manager Chris was great! Would recommend this place. ASK FOR PEACHES!!

It's gets pricey due to amount of lag time between laser tag games - you end up buying lots of tokens. Overall it's a fairly easy kids birthday party and still close to average cost for bday parties around here. The staff was very pleasant.

Last June, we came here to celebrate our son's 10th birthday (a big milestone!) and when we arrived, we were dismayed to learn that our reservation wasn't in their system due to a transfer from the old to new owner. The new owner went OUT OF HIS WAY to ensure that we were still able to have a party in the lobby and the kids were able to play laser tag and arcade games. A huge bonus- he gave us the party on the house. It truly could have been a nightmare but the owner and the employees did a fantastic job of

This place has Lim selection of games. Laser tag was really fun.

I had my (adults only) birthday celebration here. We only played laser tag, no kiddy party room for us ;) It was such a fun time! But I will note it is even better with lots of people! The games themselves are a bit short though. I wish they were longer. Time flies when you're having fun!

now under new management and thank goodness - fantastic kid birthday party experience, extremely professional, wonderful warm customer service, we went over time and weren't rushed at all. Party staff went above and beyond. In other words the complete OPPOSITE experience to the old management! Now if only they cleaned the restrooms this place would be great!

Great place to take my two boys. Also for birthday parties. Been to several parties here. The arena is very exciting. You watch the tutorial video in a theater style room with many TVs. State of the art place. A must visit!

People tend to love this place because of the customer service and they are blinded at the fact that the store is so dirty they don't clean under the games or behind them. the arena where you play laser tag has so much dust and it's so dirty and also all the drinks they serve sometimes tend to be expired and they have rats living in the facility. Also the bathrooms don't get cleaned but once every couple of months. I know all of this because I was an employee here and I would hate to have my kids playing in

Smaller than you would expect but you can get your own private room for birthdays. Laser tag is a chaotic, fun mess! There are plenty of hand sanitizer dispensers and you will need them.

I have to give a very special thank you thou to Manager Peaches for a great service . For the 10 years of playing, Manager Peaches has done an amazing job in giving friendly customer service for birthday party, events and in general. Laser tag is a great place to have fun with friends and family, for all ages! Very friendly crew and staff! But the very hard work of Manager Peaches shines bright for the business!

Bunch of 12 year olds spawn camping and think they are better than you. Not worth the price frankly, and not that good of a first experience. Arena could use more fog and less cramped corners where people are expecting you. You also can't pick your nickname. Could be better Edit: staff is awesome

A good laser tag place - friendly staff and lots of fun! The theme of super heros is pretty cool as well. Biggest downside is that there are almost too many players put in a single game - the AC doesn't seem like it can keep up and the game area felt a bit crowded. Overall I would recommend checking it out but try to go at an "off" time.

Brought my cousins to this location and they had a ton of fun. The staff was helpful during the 15 minute game of laser tag and the arcades in the lobby were amusing. Wish they had another mario kart game in order to play two players.

Great place loads of fun. The only thing that I wish was a little better was the bathroom. It was not nasty but it could've been a little neater/cleaner and Just a little more lighting in the stalls. Other than that I really liked the place. Thinking of having a party there.

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.
