Laser Tag Near Markham

Markham families searching for laser tag usually want three things: a real arena instead of a backyard set, a game that works for a mixed group of kids, teens and adults, and a party plan that does not mean cleaning the house afterwards. Lazer Runner, one of Ontario’s largest laser tag arenas, is north of Markham at 2 Allaura Blvd #10, Aurora, in the Aurora Business Park just off Leslie Street. Fog, special-effects lighting, fibre-optic vests and seven game modes make it a trip worth taking from Unionville, Cornell, Berczy or Markham Village.

What a laser tag game looks like at Lazer Runner

Every player gears up in a fibre-optic vest with a responsive phaser, then steps into an arena filled with swirling fog, energetic music, special-effects lighting and obstacles around every corner. A single game is 20 minutes of active play. Staff can use up to 3 vest colours and adjust shots, lives, time limits and handicaps, so a group of grade three students and their older cousins can share the floor without one side running away with it.

The seven game modes rotate between rounds: Team Capture, Vampire Game, Team Play, You’re IT, Eliminator, Switcher and Individual Play. The game modes page explains how each one plays. Between games, air hockey and arcade games, including Super Car, Super Bike and Aliens Armageddon Shooting, keep players busy while the next round gets ready.

Birthday parties for Markham kids

A party at Lazer Runner pairs two private laser tag games with a private party room for 1 hour 50 minutes, so the activity and the cake happen in one place. Both packages are priced for 10 kids plus the birthday child free (11 in total), and adults get in free.

• Regular package: $290 + HST on weekdays or $360 + HST on weekends. It includes the private party room, two private games, an invitation card and a single-game gift card. Extra players are $26 (weekday) or $29 (weekend) + HST.
• VIP package: $390 + HST on weekdays or $420 + HST on weekends. It adds 24 pizza slices and 20 drinks (10 waters and 10 juice packs), pizza and cake plates, forks and napkins, and a double-game gift card. Extra players are $33 or $37 + HST.

Bring your own cake and any nut-free food you like, plus a knife and a lighter, which are not provided. Every player signs the waiver before play. For a full planning guide written for Markham parents, see kids birthday parties near Markham, or compare every inclusion on the party packages page.
