Laser-based warfare unfolds within Ultrazone Family Entertainment's 5,000-square-foot battlegrounds, where infrared gunslingers exchange shots and elaborate ambushes through murky spaces and black-lit rooms. During the 15-minute rounds, combatants hurl high-intensity photon bullets at their competitor’s torsos, strafing through labyrinthine corridors and around overprotective aunts before disabling opponent weapons with well-aimed blasts. Solo soldiers can volley a hail of beams at unsuspecting groups or pair up to triangulate sniper missions from around the arena’s unexpected geometries. Pulse-pounding music streams through the sound system to simulate actual laser combat, intimidating trigger-happy enemies and drowning out dreaded cries of “Do over.”

Ultrazone Family Entertainment's rates fluctuate throughout the week.
