The best laser tag in NYC

Take the kids out for a round of laser tag in NYC for energy-burning fun

NYC has no shortage of things to do with kids — all fun and entertaining, many even educational — but sometimes you just need an activity that’s going to burn a lot of energy. Especially when the weather isn’t conducive to an outdoor activity like hiking, biking or heading to a playground, taking the kids to an indoor spot where they can run around and chase each other can save the day.

A session or two of laser tag in NYC is a chance for the kids to engage in some friendly competition and — most importantly — wear themselves out. These laser tag spots are kid-friendly and are part of larger complexes that include arcade games, bumper cars, go karts and more, so they’ll be entertained for hours. They’ll have a blast, you’ll get a break, and the whole family can enjoy a top ice cream spot or a kid-friendly pizza joint afterwards.

Bowlero has more going for it than its bowling lanes—it also offers NYC-themed laser tag in a 3,000-square-foot arena. Kids will be briefed in a room channeling Central Park before entering a dark labyrinth decked out with the NYC skyline, local street signs, a Statue of Liberty mural and the centerpiece: a mock Washington Square Park arch. There's also a 1,500-square-foot gravity ropes course suspended high above the space.

The name says it all—kids' favorite indoor activities are packed into one spot at this Long Island family attraction.
