There are plenty of fun things to do in Murrieta for families, but few things are better than a game of laser tag. Since its introduction in the 1980s, laser tag has been a mainstay of indoor entertainment. It’s a safe and fun way for kids of all ages to get exercise while competing in a fast-based team sport.

Why is laser tag still so well-loved in Murrieta? There are plenty of reasons!

Why Kids (Of All Ages) Love Laser Tag

1. Safe, fun equipment

Laser tag is based on the use of fake toy guns which “shoot” harmless infrared beams (like a TV remote) at sensors hung on opponents’ bodies. The guns and other equipment could be realistic, or they could be sci-fi themed, but either way – it’s the most fun you can have with guns that are guaranteed to never hurt anyone.

That makes it far better than alternatives, like paintball, which can be painful for participants.

2. Customizable experiences

Laser tag can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and all experience levels. Laser tag centers can be customized for groups and parties, with more or fewer obstacles, different difficulty levels, and more. This ensures that everyone can have a great time!

It is easy to learn while being skillful enough that you’ll always be learning new tactics and techniques every time you play!

3. Teamwork makes the dream work

Laser tag can be played as a team game, or as “everyone for themself,” but team play is especially great for younger players. It teaches them to work together, and the virtues of coordination. Bringing your kids and their friends to play laser tag is encouraging healthy competition and emotional development.

4. A great anytime indoor experience

Laser tag is typically played indoors, so it can be enjoyed at any time, rain or shine. Indoor arenas are also highly configurable, so you might find the layout changes frequently over time. There’s no chance of anyone getting lost, or otherwise losing track of your kids. Meanwhile, they’ll be having a great time on their adventure!

5. It’s like being in a movie!

A great laser tag arena is also filled with lights, music, sound effects, and more. It’s a totally immersive experience, unlike any other team sport, like being in an awesome sci-fi movie. Plus, unlike video games or VR, it’s completely immersive because it’s all happening in real life.

Laser tag at the Mulligan Family Fun Center is truly one of the most fun things to do in Murrieta. Whether it’s your first time, or you’re an old pro introducing it to your kids, everyone is going to have a fantastic time.  Click here to plan your visit!
