Haunted Laser Tag
October 8th - 31st
In a fusion of laser tag and haunted houses, navigate the terror of an ancient Egyptian temple armed with only a laser tag phaser. Find traditional haunted house scares, as well as the laser tag shootouts you would expect from Northern Colorado's most intense laser tag experience. Assume the role of a treasure hunter sent to recover a lost artifact, prove yourself in the Warrior's Arena against rival treasure hunters, navigate the dark corridors of the inner tombs and defeat the Ancient Pharoah. Thursday 7-10pm $10, Friday & Saturday 7pm-Midnight $12 ($10 for groups of 10+), Sunday 7-10pm $12 ($10 for groups of 10+). We've been running haunted laser tag for a few weeks now and the kids love it! It's definitely a blast for ages 10+ although the younger they are, the scarier it is. For children 8-10 it may be a little overwhelming but they're usually OK if their parents go through with them. I wouldn't recommend it for children under 8 years old.
