Theme & Amusement Parks in Socastee

Scampering through Lazer FX–Lazer Tag's 7,500-square-foot labyrinth, combatants volley photons in exhilarating 20-minute skirmishes. Laser soldiers don luminescent vests and DayGlo bowties before entering the arena, where a mix of 30-odd friends and foes dodge blasts while darting from refuge to refuge. For groups of four, the battle extends out of the arena and onto the 8,000-square-foot arcade floor. Here, more than 120 games—including pool tables, skee-ball lanes, driving simulators, and air hockey—promote hand-eye coordination more effectively than soccer.

The warm summer sun beats down on the shops and restaurants in the island town of Folly Beach, where FB Watersports vessels careen across the waves of the surrounding Atlantic ocean and Folly River. Bottlenose dolphins and turtles inhabit the scenic waters, living harmoniously alongside the center's fleet of kayaks, boards, and jet skis. The staff conducts private lessons in a wide range of watersports throughout the week and also leads tours across the ecologically diverse shores in pursuit of fish, crabs, and the legendary shark who ate the mayor's toupee.

Extreme Laser Tag sets the stage for space-age combat with its labyrinth of smoky corridors, ramps, and neon-lit walls. Equipped with Nexus Generation laser-tag technology, the arena can host up to 60 vested combatants as they split into teams and vie for points by scoring chest shots on their opponents.

Large plasma monitors outside the arena display the hectic battles in real time, with beam-by-beam battle stats showing who is the scoring leader and who has been melted into plasmic goo. The facility frequently accommodates birthday parties, large corporate gatherings, and fundraiser groups; everyday customers and private partiers often join in battlefield alliances, exacting laser-powered revenge on bosses and double-crossing imaginary friends.
