LaserMaxx San Carlos

Never knew this place existed in San Carlos! Right behind REI (and there is plenty of parking). Came here with a group of adult friends (who said this place was only for kids???). The venue is HUGE! We had a group of 25+ and there was plenty of space to explore/ hide to shoot other players. We paid for 2 round of games. One being a free for all and the other being a team (color). The round last about 15 ish minutes and you'll hear a 5 minute warning to see how much time remains!-1 since there were some numbers on my vest and I realized after the first game that it showed your current ranking amongst the other players. There was also another number but I wasn't sure what I meant. Also sucked during the team game one of my friend's vest didn't work at all and the worker couldn't really provide another vest to have his points count in the team game. Overall the experience was great! Goku and his team were fun and explained everything well. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you want to relive some childhood memories of Laser tag!

We had my son's birthday party at Laser Maxx, and they gave my home-made cake to another party while the kids played laser tag. I found the cake 3/4 eaten in their back room (see photo). I spent hours making the cake for my son, based on his requests, using a recipe from my late father's favorite cookbook. It was very upsetting. Clearly they need a better system for managing people's stuff for parties. I will not be doing another party here.

This place is AWESOME! Our team came here for a company event, and we had an absolute blast. The map is huge and spans multiple levels high. 30 people would be able to easily fit while still being able to explore and hide. There are mirrors and grates, so if you're sneaky about it, you can get some cool shots by using those to your advantage! Goku was really fun as well and explained everything thoroughly so that we all understood how to play.My favorite part, though, is that at the end of the game, you receive a "mission debriefing" that goes through your placing, accuracy percentage, shots fired, activity, and more. I've never seen this before, and it was so much fun to compare accuracy scores and shots! Definitely recommend this place for birthday parties, team outings, or even just for a fun night out!

A must go and be a kid again destination!! This is my third time going ... and as the saying goes, Third Time Is a Charm (of fun & great way to bond with the community & your children). Staff are amazing & fun! You find yourself lost in another identity of strategy & true, FUN exhilaration! Make sure you wear dark, have patience & enjoy the competition! Pricing is fair & the BEST laser tag experience ever in an adrenaline rush from the Mission Control beginning to the "Awards Ceremony" at the end! Scheduling online is easy & highly recommended. Wait time is short & the experience long-lasting! Can't wait to PLAY again! Who says we (adults) can't still reach into our inner kid?? Not me!

This place makes bday parties easy Peasy! The staff are super friendly and answers questions via calls or emails. The main menu is pizza which you have to order through them from NY pizza which is nice bc you don't need to worry about picking up or delivery, or ordering directly from them.You can bring your own drinks, cake, chips, etc. They provide plates, utensils and do the clean up! We got to have the 2nd round to our group so it was Everyman for themselves! We've been here a few times as part of public games and the staff are always friendly.

We had a great birthday party for my son at Lasermax. We arrived at 12 noon and it was a good decision because there were no people yet, the second and third missions were played in a crowd, which was uncomfortable. We were given a room for the party. While the kids were playing, the parents were relaxing there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything went well, the only thing I would recommend is to add more slot machines. We liked it. I think we will come back again.

I went to LaserMaxx for the first time last month. Who knew that there was a laser tag place in the Bay Area! Upon arrival, you can tell that it's mostly kids who come here after school. But by the time it hit 8PM, most of the people at the laser tag place ended up being adults.There's someone who works there that explains the rules to you before you enter the playing area. Pretty simple rules like don't run, don't follow someone, no profanity, etc.They end up giving you a piece of paper at the end of the round to show you how many times you got hit and how many people you hit. It's a cool way to be competitive with your friends. Some downsides are that it was not uncommon for them to not print out your sheet because of technical issues. You can also tell that some of the workers there definitely did not want to be there. And there is only one playing area so you really end up doing a lot of waiting when you're here.

Had a blast here for a birthday party! We played 2 games, each game ran 20 minutes. We were in the debriefing room for a few minutes learning how to put on the vest, use our guns, and learn the rules. The arena itself was so fun with black light and well marked guided lines on the ground. It was so fun, I can see why so many kids were there. As an adult in the game, I didn't mind the kids. But if you do then I recommend going at later times in the day to avoid them because they do get loud and a little obnoxious. After the game, you turn in your vest and you get to see how you scored against the other players. Everyone also gets a scorecard with all of your stats as a souvenir.Overall, it was a great first experience! I just wished I had a lighter layer on because it was quite the exercise and I accidentally wore a sweater in there. Also beware of the parking signs. Still plenty of parking, but need to walk farther.

This place is a hoot for everyone. We were here in a big group and had a great time! The game goes by very quickly so recommend signing up for at least 2. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Cough cough...I got the top score in my group so maybe that's why I like this so much.

Great place to host a party as the kids all had an amazing time! The front entrance where the arcade games are tend to get busy so be sure to not get phased by that. The party room itself had amazing wall decor that came out great in our pictures. I saw someone mentioned the dedicated party host with the package, it's a 50% time host so you might want to order up to the full time host or bring a friend/family member along to assist you. Overall, a great place to host a party and I'll definitely recommend
