Laser City is a Thrilling Fusion of Fun and Strategy for Gymnastics Teams.

In the heart of North East Calgary, Laser City stands as the city’s premier laser tag facility, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience that goes beyond the traditional laser tag outing. For gymnastics teams seeking a break from their routines, Laser City presents an enjoyable blend of strategy, competition, and pure fun.

Beyond Laser Tag: Mini Paintball Adventure

Laser City is not just about laser tag; it adds an extra layer of excitement with Mini Paintball, offering a real paintball experience tailored for ages 8-12. The facility’s dedication to diverse and engaging activities makes it an ideal destination for gymnastics teams looking to unwind and bond outside of their regular training environment.

Strategic Location and Event Hosting Expertise

Conveniently situated near the Calgary Airport and just North of Deerfoot City, Laser City is easily accessible, making it a perfect location for various events. Whether it’s a Birthday Party, a Youth Group Event, Corporate Team Building, or a Sport Team Season Wrap-Up, Laser City is equipped to host groups ranging from 10 to 100 participants. The facility’s expertise in event hosting ensures that every occasion, big or small, is a memorable and seamless experience for gymnastics teams.

Laser Tag: A Heart-Pounding Adventure

Designed for ages 6 and up, Laser City’s laser tag arena promises an immersive and heart-pounding adventure. Equipped with lightweight and accurate phasers and vests, participants enter a multi-level blacklit arena filled with smoke and music. The quest begins as players strategically position themselves, either collaborating with their team or embracing the lone wolf approach. Whether defending their base or seeking out opponents, every moment is a thrilling pursuit that leaves participants exhausted yet grinning from ear to ear when the final whistle blows.

Game Features and Variety

Each laser tag game lasts approximately 25 minutes, encompassing safety briefings, gearing up, playing, and scoring. Laser City offers drop-in sessions for those spontaneous moments, but pre-purchasing tickets in advance is recommended during peak times to avoid long waits. The facility boasts lightweight equipment suitable for players of all ages, even the youngest. The printed scorecards add a competitive edge, allowing participants to compare scores and take home bragging rights.

Supervised and Highly Accurate Experience

Safety is a priority at Laser City, and every game is led by a trained Marshal who explains the rules, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all. The highly accurate equipment guarantees that every successful hit counts, eliminating the frustration of shots not registering. The action-packed 15-minute games can be extended with different game modes, including Blue vs Yellow, 3 team, 4 team, and individual games, offering a variety that keeps the experience fresh and exciting.

Team Building Through Adventure

Laser City’s laser tag adventure provides an ideal platform for gymnastics teams to enhance communication, teamwork, and strategic thinking. The facility encourages team bonding through shared challenges, fostering a positive and collaborative environment. The second-floor viewing room allows spectators to witness the action, adding an extra layer of engagement for teammates and supporters alike.

Laser City emerges as the go-to destination for gymnastics teams seeking an exhilarating escape from their routines. With a strategic location, event hosting expertise, and a thrilling array of activities, Laser City promises an unforgettable blend of fun and strategy, making it Calgary’s ultimate laser tag and mini paintball adventure destination.
