-
How is your laser tag different from traditional laser tag?Our games are urban combat simulation. We use high tech laser tag guns that are 100% eye safe. It's just like stepping into a live video game! Our guns have an extreme range, far exceeding paintball or airsoft, with pinpoint accuracy. Equipped with tactical slings and red dot sights, our laser tag guns are lightweight and simple to use. Laser TAG is mission-based and full of action.
-
Can we just show up and play?Yes! We always welcome small groups and individuals to join in the fun! You don’t need a reservation, as we operate our arena on a first-come-first-served basis, but there may be a short wait (20-40 minutes) if we are very busy. On weekends, top priority is given to our Tag Parties and Battles that have been booked in advance. You can have fun in our arcade while you wait. For groups of 12 or more, we encourage you to book a Tag Battle in advance through our online event portal (click here). This way we can ensure your wait time is as short as possible! We suggest booking a few weeks in advance. Weekends fill up quickly, so don’t delay! If you have any questions give us a call at 757-206-1858.
-
How long is a game?A single session is about 14 minutes of play time (with two unique missions), but when you add time for the mission briefings and gearing up, the whole experience is about 20 minutes. Don’t be fooled… most players come out of the arena huffing and puffing and say it was the longest, most intense 14 minutes ever!
-
Is there an age limit?Our recommendation is that laser tag players be at least 8 years old. Players younger than 8 may have difficulty with understanding the game rules and operating the equipment--potentially becoming a distraction to other players. Players under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
-
Is a tag event a good idea for a tween/teen/adult party?Yes! Tweens, teens, and adults will have a blast! Corporate parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, family reunions, sports teams, and just about any other group you can think of will have a memorable event. Book now!
-
How do I book an event for laser tag?You may book a birthday party or Tag Battle through our online event portal (click here), but Private Events must be booked over the phone. We suggest booking a few weeks in advance. Weekends fill up quickly, so don’t delay! If you have any questions give us a call at 757-206-1858.
-
How do I book a party?You can book your party online (click here) or by phone. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a party package, with the remaining balance due the day of your event. We cannot accept full up-front payment for parties at this time. We accept cash, credit, and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, & Discover) along with ApplePay and GooglePay. For your convenience, we accept card payments by phone. We do not accept checks. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur and may result in you needing to cancel your party. If you need to cancel your party, you may request a free VIP Pass in exchange for your non-refundable deposit.
-
How far in advance should I book my party?To ensure availability on your chosen date, we advise our clients to reserve their event at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, Bounce House FEC strives to accommodate even the most immediate booking requests for any of our private party rooms. Please feel free to call at the last minute to check availability for scheduling a party! We welcome your party at any time based on availability. For example, if weather changes cause you to cancel outdoor plans, we would be a perfect place to host your party. Please note we cannot book parties within 48 hours through our online event portal. If you are looking for a last minute party slot, please give us a call at 757-206-1858 and we will do our best to accommodate you.
-
What if I need to reschedule my party?No worries! You can reschedule your party for any reason. Just give us at least 24 hours notice and we will reschedule your party at your convenience and our availability for anytime within the next 12 months.
-
Will my deposit be refunded if I cancel my party?All party deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. However, you may reschedule your event one time for any reason with at least 24 hour notice. The rescheduled date must be an available time within the next 12 months. If unforeseen circumstances force you to cancel your party, you may request a free VIP Pass in exchange for your non-refundable deposit.
-
Why is it showing more than the base price of the party package when I add more than 10 participants in the event portal?Ten party guests are included in each party package. Additional guests have an additional charge based on your party package of choice. Don’t worry, we will give you an opportunity to change the number both when we call to confirm your party and again on the day of your party. You will only be charged for the number of guests that show up (with a minimum of ten).
-
Do you charge for parents/siblings of party guests or the birthday child?For Toddler Bounce and Super Bounce parties, any child who is walking is considered a “guest” of the party and goes towards the total guest count. We do not charge for adults. For Super Tag parties, any person who will be playing laser tag is considered a “guest” of the party, whether they are a child or adult, and goes towards the total guest count. We do not recommend laser tag for children under 8, but if necessary, they may play with an accompanying adult. Guests may not take turns playing. For Ultimate parties, you have ten guest spots that include both tag and bouncing. Guests may choose not to participate in one or the other of the activities, but that spot may not be filled by another guest (i.e. a parent may not play laser tag for a small child who is only bouncing).
-
Are adults counted in the party guest count?For Bounce/Super Bounce parties booked during normal operating hours, only children who are walking up to ages 17 are counted in the guest count. We do not charge for adults. For Tag/Super Tag and Ultimate parties, adults are counted if they will be playing laser tag. For private after-hours events, adults are counted in the guest count. Please call the store for information on booking a private after-hours event.
-
Can a VIP Pass be purchased for my extra party guests?Unfortunately, no. Our VIP Passes are for Bounce Admission and Single Tag Sessions ONLY. VIP Passes are significantly discounted and are not applicable to parties.
-
I have a lot of kids and adults coming. How does the total capacity work for each room?Each of our Bounce House party rooms contain 3 large picnic-style tables that comfortably seat 8-10 kids or 6-8 adults each. Our Orange, Blue, and Green rooms have plenty of standing room, as well. Our Red room is slightly narrower, so there is not as much room for standing. If you know you will be having more than 15 party guest children, we recommend booking in one of our larger rooms so parents will have enough space. Both of our Tag/Ultimate party rooms contain 2 large picnic-style tables that comfortably seat 8-10 kids or 6-8 adults each. These two rooms open to each other and are never booked for the same time slot, allowing us to accommodate larger parties.
-
Will there be someone in the party room to serve my guests?Yes! Each party will be assigned a dedicated Party Host to serve food and drinks in the party room. It is each parent’s job to ensure children are following the rules.
-
What if I want a themed party?You are welcome to bring your own paper products, table/wall decorations, goodie bags, and Mylar balloons for any theme you choose. Please let us know if you plan to bring your own decorations so we can be sure time allows for it. Note: wall decorations must be attached with wall-safe tape.
-
I want a different room color for my selected time slot. Is this possible?For weekend parties, we are usually fully booked, which unfortunately means we cannot switch around party room times. You are welcome to ask at check-in if there is another room available; if there is, we will certainly try to accommodate your request. For weekday parties, we do usually have more flexibility, but cannot make any guarantees.
-
Can I bring my own party food?Please arrange to bring your own birthday cake, cupcakes, or other treat. We advise against bringing anything frozen (i.e. ice cream cake), as we cannot take outside food into our fridge/freezer. You may also bring a fruit and/or veggie tray. No other outside food or beverage is permitted. Because we have an exclusive partnership with Papa John's, we cannot allow other pizza to be brought in or delivered.
-
I added pizzas/pitchers/ice cream to my party through the event portal. How do I let you know which kinds I want?Give us a call (757-206-1858) and we will be happy to take your specific order and notate it on your party packet. To ensure timely delivery of pizza, we need your order for weekend parties by 6pm on the Thursday before so Papa John’s has ample time to plan and prepare for the weekend. For weekday parties, please try to have your order in 24 hours before your party time.
-
I didn’t add pizzas/pitchers/ice cream to my party because I don’t know how many people will be coming. When do I need to get my order in?To ensure timely delivery of pizza, we need your pizza order for weekend parties by 6pm on the Thursday before so Papa John’s has ample time to plan and prepare for the weekend. For weekday parties, please try to have your order in 24 hours before your party time. For pitchers and ice cream, you can give us a call as soon as you know or just let us know when you arrive for check in.
-
Can I bring alcohol for the adults?To maintain a family-friendly environment for all of our guests, Bounce House Family Entertainment Center maintains a strict alcohol-free facility at all times.
