Dark Star laser tag is a terrific place staff are superb the site is spotless and laser tag itself is superb. The only downside is time seems to fly by so quick. Definitely will return and Definitely recommend

Best one I've been to. Great arena on 3 floors, very fun and chaotic close quarters! Reasonably priced. Some of the guns were faulty (some always are, but still) but you get a personal score card telling you who you got and who got you which is great with friends.

I would recommend it because I had fun the only thing is At the 3rd game I was lost only wish I had a map on the back of the laser gun where you can tap on the screens and to also see the players because I get jumpscared and wish the suit is not heavy . AV

First experience was a bad experience. We purchased three games not realising how long each game was. We asked for a refund for two games because the kids were tired and wanted to go home after the first game. The Manager refused to give us the refund. We consequently lost £29. Very disapointed, will not come back neither recommend. Never heard of a company that refuses to give a refund when the customer is clearly entitled to it.
