Gearworks Laser Tag and Family Amusement Center

Zero stars. I came here with my family and some big guy that calls himself the «game master» was rude to my kids. Really really low customer service. Avoid this place like the plague.
A bit overpriced with the tickets. Don’t buy any package deals.

I’ve been to Gearworks a couple times and it’s definitely a fun place. However, I recently went with a big group, and a friend of mine was trying to join us in our next game of lazer tag. The people working the desk told her that she could still join, but after she paid-​they told her they miscounted the number of people in the next round, so she actually couldn’t join. Then they told her they don’t offer refunds. They ended up giving her a credit that she could use another time, but in my opinion it could have been handled much better.

My son’s birthday is in January when it’s usually cold and sloppy outside. We chose Gearworks Laser Tag for his birthday party and it exceeded my expectations. The birthday room was good sized and the server was great. The boys enjoyed pizza, soda, video games, and of course laser tag. The facility was clean and not crowded. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was great fun for the boys and they are ready to go back. Good value as well.

Nearing the end of a week in Corolla, we needed a break from the beach and pool — this worked fine.
My oldest was able to play a round of laser tag. ($ 9 seemed reasonable) while my 2 and 9 year olds played on the two moon bounces. The arcade is just a dozen or so games, but was just fine. I liked that they had pinball and Galaga — classics for mom. My high score might hold for a while. For $ 10 in tokens, we played for a while.
The kid area had toys that were a little worn, but the moon bounces seemed okay. For $ 5, it got out all the extra energy.
Met our needs for a day out. As long as you keep expectations basic, you’ll have fun!

clean. nice. open. fun.
BUT an off-​the-​clock employee played with our group and completely took the fun out of it for our kids by using a weapon that was ‘rigged’ so he could shoot everyone (thereby making their weapons useless for portions of time), while his weapon was never knocked out when he was hit.
The management said sorry but didn’t offer our group any restitution. For a group of 14 people, it was bitter and a bummer.
Overall, the place is a good, clean place.

Rip off do not go here

Went on Saturday of labor day weekend about 8:30 and it was crowded. Our group paid the special 7 — midnight price $ 17, and played 6 games (less people showed up after 10). They do allow a lot of players at the same time (maximum of 20 on each team) which makes it very crowded and not as much fun, but still a good deal when you get to play as much as we did. They have a scoreboard which you can see how your team did and how you did (you are ranked by your points). It gets hot and sometimes when you put the equipment on, it is wet with sweat. Gross! For spectators, there is an observation area to watch the action. Something fun to do once on vacation. I would rank it higher but think they allow too many players at one time.

My son had his birthday party here and both kids and adults had a blast! With 2 levels to spread out on and lots of places to hide, we had so much fun! What a great way to spend a rainy or hot day. Price was reasonable and we plan to go back on the Friday nights when they have play all night for one price. Definitely recommend!

A professionally managed, very fun laser tag arena that you SHOULD DEFINITELY check out!

Back when I was a wee shaver, we had this place in Baltimore called Photon. The gear weighed hundreds of pounds, the guns didn’t work half the time, and everything was covered with this mixture of sweat and smoke machine goo.
Kids today have it so much easier. I mean, you can *see* the frickin’ lasers when you shoot! The gear is light and reliable! The arena owns a vacuum cleaner!
Definitely a good stop on a hot day.
