Kids were happy. Why you’d have a children’s shooting game in Derry raises a lot of questions. But the kids liked it and that’s what matters. Staff are super friendly.

This place is amazing for both kids and those older kids (adults). Took my son and friends here and had the best fun. Very friendly staff, and the laser tag course was brilliant. Will definitely be back. The price made it worthwhile driving a 70 mile round trip. I can't leave a new review but I was here today (11/10/2025) again and still impressed me just as much as the first time. Awesome staff, who done all they could to accommodate our party. The boys haven't stopped talking about it. Another 70 mile round trip and still one of the best birthday venues around

Kids had a ball (7,8,10& 13) I had a laugh. Lots of places to hide, and shoot your kids... Where else can you do that!? ;-) Staff were really helpful, and fact son no.1 won the prize, in solo round made smiles all round!
