Dublin has a surprisingly dense cluster of indoor laser tag venues for a city of its size — several are within a 20-minute drive of the city centre, with Arena 7 in Blanchardstown charging the lowest confirmed rate at €8 per game. From multi-level indoor arenas to venues that pair laser combat with bowling or axe-throwing, there’s a setup for every group. The trick is knowing which venues actually welcome adult players and what you’ll pay before you show up.

Indoor laser tag near me

Dublin and its surrounding counties host a solid spread of indoor laser tag venues, with Arena 7 and Leisuredome standing out as the two most accessible options for city-based players. Arena 7 in Blanchardstown runs a multi-level maze that fits up to 20 players at once, making it a practical choice for stag parties, corporate events, or birthday groups. A single game costs €8 per person, with a two-game package at €14 — the lowest per-game rate among the dedicated indoor venues tracked in this research.

Leisuredome in Dublin 12 operates a fully themed indoor arena with a capacity of 20 players. At €11 per person, it sits slightly above Arena 7 on price but adds bowling, arcade games, and an on-site restaurant to the mix. The game duration runs approximately 20 minutes including briefing, according to Leisuredome’s official site.

The catch

Leisuredome closes on Mondays. If your group is planning a Monday outing, Arena 7 in Blanchardstown stays open — it runs 11am–11pm Mon–Thu, 11am–12am Friday, and 10am–12am on Saturday.

Funtasia Theme Park

While Funtasia in Drogheda appears in regional searches for laser tag near Dublin, the venue primarily markets itself as a waterpark and theme park destination with soft play and family activities. Checking the official site at funtasia.ie directly is the most reliable way to confirm current laser tag availability and hours.

LeisurePlex Drogheda

LeisurePlex locations in Drogheda and Blanchardstown serve different markets. The Blanchardstown site hosts Q-Zar laser tag with weekday pricing at €11 per person, rising to €12 on Fridays and weekends. The 20-minute game structure is standard across Q-Zar locations.

Red Hills Adventure

Red Hills Adventure in Kildare operates weekend laser tag sessions open to individual players and smaller groups. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly during school holiday periods when demand spikes.

The pattern is clear: Dublin’s indoor laser tag market clusters in two main corridors — Blanchardstown (Arena 7, Q-Zar) and Park West (Leisuredome) — with Kildare providing a viable alternative for those willing to travel slightly further south.

Laser tag near me for adults

Adults looking for laser tag near Dublin have more viable options than venues marketed primarily at families suggest. Arena 7 explicitly states its setup suits “kids as young as 8 years old right up to adults of any age,” with a multi-level maze designed to challenge experienced players. Leisuredome takes a similar stance, positioning its themed arena as a step up from basic laser tag.

Why this matters

Most Dublin venues default to mixed-age sessions, which means adult groups may find younger children in the arena during family-friendly time slots. Calling ahead to check session composition can prevent awkward moments.

Adult-friendly venues

  • Arena 7: €8/game, ages 8+, 15-minute games, extended weekend hours
  • Leisuredome: €11/person, ages 7+, 20-minute sessions, on-site dining
  • Game of Throwing: Dublin 7 hybrid combining laser tag with axe-throwing, minimum age 10
  • Zero Latency Sandyford: VR-powered free-roam combat for up to 8 players aged 8+, though pricing is not publicly listed

Group party options

Footee in Tallaght targets group bookings specifically, listing stag parties, hen dos, and school trips as core clientele. Adults pay €20 per session with a minimum booking of 10 players. The catch: Footee operates outdoors, so weather becomes a factor. Its 60-minute sessions are longer than the 15–20 minute indoor norm, which some groups prefer for the extended gameplay.

Game of Throwing in Dublin 7 structures its pricing by group size rather than per person. Two players spend €58 total (€29 each), while six players pay €126 (€21 each) — making it more cost-effective for larger groups that want to combine laser tag with axe-throwing.

Laser tag near me prices

Laser tag pricing across Dublin venues spans a reasonably wide range, from €8 per game at Arena 7 to €20 for adults at outdoor-focused Footee. The spread reflects differences in venue type, session length, included amenities, and location.

Venue type Typical price range What you’re paying for
Dedicated indoor arena €8–€14 per person Multi-level maze, themed environment, 15–20 min games
Multi-activity centre €10.95–€12 per person Laser tag alongside bowling, arcade, or dining
Hybrid venue (axe-throwing, VR) €21–€29 per person (group pricing) Combined experiences, longer sessions, immersive themes
Outdoor specialist €15–€20 per person Extended 60-minute sessions, larger play area, weather-dependent

The implication: if your priority is raw value per game, Arena 7 wins at €8. If you want a full evening out with food and other activities, Leisuredome’s €11 entry point plus its restaurant and arcade makes better financial sense than buying separate laser tag sessions elsewhere.

Pricing factors

Three main factors drive price variation. First, session length — indoor venues typically run 15–20 minute games while Footee offers 60-minute outdoor sessions. Second, bundled amenities — venues with bowling alleys, restaurants, or arcade sections often price laser tag slightly higher because you’re paying for the broader facility. Third, group structure — Game of Throwing’s model penalises smaller groups (€29 per person for two players) but rewards larger ones (€21 per person for six).

Venue comparisons

Comparing Arena 7 directly against Leisuredome: Arena 7 is cheaper at €8 per game versus €11, operates longer hours including Monday openings, and offers a 15-minute single-game format. Leisuredome counters with a themed immersive environment, on-site dining, and a 20-minute game format that includes briefing time. For a group of 10, Arena 7 costs €80 total while Leisuredome runs €110 — a €30 difference that may or may not justify the atmosphere upgrade depending on your group’s priorities.

Laser tag Athlone

Athlone sits outside the immediate Dublin orbit but draws attention as a regional entertainment hub. Elevate Athlone markets itself as Ireland’s premier indoor entertainment destination, combining laser tag with karting, mini golf, bowling, and arcade games. For groups travelling from Dublin or the midlands, it offers a full-day entertainment package rather than a quick laser tag session.

The trade-off: specific laser tag pricing for Elevate Athlone was not publicly available at time of research. Visiting the official site at elevateathlone.ie or calling directly provides the most current rates and session availability.

Elevate Athlone details

  • Location: Athlone, County Westmeath (approximately 90 minutes from Dublin)
  • Activities: laser tag, karting, mini golf, bowling, arcade
  • Best for: full-day group outings, mixed-activity bookings
  • Pricing: check official site for current rates

For players based in the midlands or west, Elevate Athlone is worth the drive. For Dublin-based groups with limited time, the Blanchardstown and Dublin 12 venues offer faster access with comparable indoor laser tag experiences.

Funtasia Drogheda

Funtasia Theme Park in Drogheda appears prominently in searches for laser tag near Dublin, but its core identity is a waterpark and family theme park. Laser tag at Funtasia operates as one activity among many rather than a standalone focus, and the venue draws visitors primarily for its waterpark facilities.

What to watch

Funtasia’s website at funtasia.ie should be checked directly for current opening hours, laser tag availability schedules, and ticket pricing. Weekend demand at Funtasia can be high due to its waterpark popularity, which may affect wait times for laser tag sessions.

The catch: laser tag availability at Funtasia depends on the daily activity timetable rather than open-session availability, so groups expecting spontaneous play may need to adjust expectations.

Theme park features

  • Waterpark with slides and wave pools
  • Laser tag (check site for schedule)
  • Crazy golf and soft play
  • Bowling and arcade areas

Tickets and hours

Funtasia Theme Park tickets and opening hours vary seasonally. Day passes that bundle waterpark access with other attractions typically cost more than laser tag-only sessions at dedicated venues. For groups specifically targeting laser tag as the main activity, comparing Funtasia’s bundled pricing against dedicated laser tag venues like Arena 7 or Leisuredome is worthwhile.

The pattern: Funtasia works well for families or groups that want a full day of varied activities. Laser tag is available, but it is not the primary draw — and the overall cost reflects the breadth of facilities.

Funtasia opening hours

Funtasia’s opening hours shift seasonally, with extended summer schedules and reduced winter hours. The venue also operates blackout dates during major holiday periods when school groups book priority slots.

Checking Funtasia’s official website provides the most current schedule. When planning a visit specifically for laser tag, confirming availability on the day you intend to visit prevents wasted travel time.

Water park details

Funtasia’s waterpark operates as the headline attraction, meaning laser tag sessions may run on a fixed schedule rather than continuously throughout operating hours. Groups arriving expecting spontaneous laser tag sessions may need to check the day’s activity timetable on arrival.

Bottom line: Funtasia suits families wanting a full entertainment day including waterpark and laser tag. Dedicated laser tag players get better value and more session availability at Arena 7 (€8/game, daily hours) or Leisuredome (€11/person, Tue–Sun) — both closer to Dublin with no waterpark surcharge.

“Laser Tag is played over our large indoor, multi-level maze for up to 20 players. Suitable for kids as young as 8 years old right up to adults of any age.”

— Arena 7, Official Site

“We’ve really gone all out to give you a fully themed, immersive Lazer Tag experience that’s on the next level!”

Frequently asked questions

What activities pair well with laser tag near me?

Leisuredome pairs laser tag with bowling, arcade games, and an on-site restaurant. Arena 7 combines it with bowling for €12–€16 per person. Game of Throwing adds axe-throwing to the mix. Airtastic in Kildare offers mini golf alongside laser tag. Choosing a venue with multiple activities extends your visit without relocating between venues.

Is laser tag suitable for kids?

Yes, most Dublin venues welcome children. Arena 7 sets a minimum age of 8 years. Leisuredome accepts ages 7 and up. Airtastic covers ages 6–106. Game of Throwing requires players to be at least 10 years old. Venues with mixed-age sessions mean younger children may play alongside teenagers and adults — check with the venue if you prefer same-age groupings.

How do I book laser tag for a group?

Most venues accept walk-in players, but group bookings are recommended for parties of 10 or more. Footee specifies a minimum booking of 10 players. Arena 7 and Leisuredome both accommodate group bookings via their official sites or phone. Game of Throwing prices its sessions by group size (2–6 players), making advance booking essential to secure your slot.

What should I wear for laser tag?

Comfortable, dark-coloured clothing works best. Most venues prohibit footwear that marks floors — closed-toe shoes are generally required. Avoid white or highly reflective clothing, as some laser tag systems register reflective materials differently. Leisuredome and Arena 7 provide all necessary equipment including vests and phasers; you bring only yourself and appropriate clothing.

Are there outdoor laser tag options near Dublin?

Yes. Footee in Tallaght runs outdoor laser tag sessions with 60-minute gameplay for 10–20 players. Combat Laser Tag in Rathdrum, County Wicklow, receives positive reviews for its outdoor setup and new equipment. The Zone in County Meath offers outdoor laser tag alongside other extreme activities. Outdoor options are weather-dependent — confirm conditions before travelling.

What are the safety rules for laser tag?

Standard rules include no physical contact between players, no running in enclosed indoor arenas, and keeping vision unobstructed (no covering the vest sensor). Players must follow arena marshal instructions. Most venues require children under 12 to have an accompanying adult. Airtastic explicitly requires children under 12 to have an adult present during laser tag sessions.

Do venues offer group discounts for laser tag?

Some venues bundle laser tag with other activities at reduced combined rates — Leisuredome’s package with bowling and laser tag exemplifies this approach. Footee advertises special group rates for stags, hens, and school trips. Game of Throwing’s group pricing structure effectively provides a discount for larger bookings. Checking individual venue websites or contacting them directly yields the most accurate current discount offers.

Upsides

  • Dublin has multiple dedicated indoor laser tag venues within a 30-minute drive of the city centre
  • Adults pay standard rates at most venues — no premium pricing for non-family sessions
  • Multi-activity venues like Leisuredome let groups pair laser tag with bowling, arcade, or dining
  • Lowest confirmed price is €8 per game at Arena 7 in Blanchardstown

Downsides

  • Monday availability is limited — Leisuredome closes, reducing options to Arena 7 or Q-Zar
  • Exact current pricing not confirmed across all venues; sites should be checked directly
  • Peak weekend sessions may fill quickly; booking ahead is advisable
  • VR alternatives like Zero Latency offer a different experience — not a direct replacement for traditional laser tag

For Dublin-based groups and visitors, the city’s laser tag landscape offers genuine variety — from budget-focused single-game sessions at Arena 7 to immersive themed arenas at Leisuredome to hybrid combat experiences at Game of Throwing. The venues that combine laser tag with bowling, dining, or axe-throwing tend to deliver better overall value for groups planning a longer evening out. Adults specifically seeking competitive laser tag without children in the session should confirm scheduling with venues in advance, as most operate mixed-age sessions as the default model.
