Had a lot of fun celebrating a special occasion here, the space is very well maintained and organized. Shoutout to Jose at the front desk who was super welcoming and helpful, and made it a great experience overall! read more

Where do I start? This place was SO much fun! It's definitely not for the faint of heart, believe me, it takes a lot to engage in laser tag so please dress comfy and be sure to check on how you're feeling before engaging. Aside from that, the experience was worth it. Mini bowling: omg this is such a cute concept and highly recommended for a date. Food and beverage: ummm, I didn't see much food items to indulge in so please be sure to eat before or when you leave. Drinks, they did have a cute menu filled with mixed drinks, beers, and hard seltzer. Overall, I had a blast and I would recommend this to anyone! It was cost-affordable for the adult night game pass as it cost less than $50 for 2 people. Book online and go have some fun! read more

We used a discount code "15NYCMAMI" (all caps) at area53nyc .com. It's also good for their Dumbo and Linden Hill location, as well as Ferox Ninja. This place is so much fun. We love Wednesday nights, when you get double the fun. They have adult night, hip hop night, Latino night. Great place for parties. read more

great fun for kids and parents alike. The ropes course and ziplone are one of a kind in the city. This place is a hidden gem in an unlikely part of Queens. read more

This place was great at first BUT the interactions with the employees made me change my opinion, they all had nasty attitudes and looked like they hated their jobs. before i interacted with the employees, i actually stated to my friend that i wanted to work here, but none of the workers even smiled once except for a birthday announcements for one of the staff. Needs way better employment because I treated them all with respect saying thank you and please and they didn't even respond to me or if they did, they had an attitude. This place needs welcoming smiles and friendly interactions with customers. Hire people that enjoy working with children not these random college students. read more

Area 53 - Laser Tag Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here to play laser tag for a friend's birthday with a group of 14. At first glance, I was underwhelmed by the props that they had as they seemed low-budget. However, I was shocked by how much fun I had here. You get your wristbands at the door which indicates the color of your party. The experience involves 3 rounds of game time and they rotate through the parties, announcing the color when it's your turn. We got really sweaty throughout the games so I'd recommend wearing dri-fit clothing and sneakers that you can run in. Each group gets a sectioned area with a table, seating, and a clothing rack so you can even bring clothing to change into if you don't want to stay in your sweaty clothes. One thing that did negatively impact our experience was the faulty guns. The reload button on some of our guns didn't work properly and required multiple clicks before it reloaded. This got a bit frustrating during the game. Nonetheless, this was a great group activity and allowed me to see some of my friends' competitive side. read more

Must Go! Booked a party for work colleagues and their kids to try it out. The DUMBO location exceeded our expectations. Even with a little travel snafu, being late they were beyond accommodating. We were still given our full time, made sure we knew what to do, never showed frustration with our disorganization, offered to take photos for us, made sure the kids had fun not just the adults, went above and beyond. We all left saying the same thing, this was Epic! Big thanks! We plan to be back. read more

Found a good deal on Pulsd and glad to be able to experience laser tag at this arena. Parking is not bad nearby on a Friday night . Kids definitely out ran me in the laser tag. Cool spot to hang on top with air hockey, games, fooseball, etc. beer and wine for purchase. Definitely worth the money and will be back read more

If you are scared of heights and dying due too falling don't do the zip line the obstacle course is super long and some parts are not that stable and they're straight up just a part where you're just walking across two strings no bridge or nothing just two strings and a pole read more

Yo! This is lit! Literally - the wheels light up! You should def give this a ride! So fun!

Park was amazing I really love the arcade five stars on everything The rock climbing was so cool the food was amazing got lots of tickets and won lots of prizes thank you read more

The bathroom could use a attendant and more friendly staff. Some machines were out and there are no attendants in all of areas to monitor the kids. read more

Stay away from this establishment. They don't monitor the laser tag games and my son and his friends were man-handled by older guests during their games yesterday. Extremely disturbed and angry that this happened. Please stay away from this establishment!! read more

One of the employees, Flex, was a huge help and is definitely a 10/10 worker! Made my experience so much better.

We came for a birthday party. Zip line and skating and more. Great fun for kids age 8+

pretty solid laser tag experience. the 8-12pm deal for $30 is amazing. laser tag every half hour and unlimited mini bowling. food is pretty decent and the prices are also acceptable. the arcade area looks great and overall this is definitely a place to have a birthday party like event. bathrooms are pretty clean as well! only complaint is that there is no wifi anywhere in the building and the service downstairs kinda sucks. the service is great though! friendly staff members and service employees run this great establishment! read more

We had a great time with the family visiting from out of state! The curved zip line is not something you see every day, and they have so many arcades it's almost a thing by itself. read more

Was very fun, even for adults. The only thing is the space could be bigger to include more things like Thrillz in Connecticut.

This wasn't my favorite way to do Lazer tag but maybe I'm tied to my childhood memories of flashing lights, foggy areas, plush wall pillars and a worn out vest. You will get a work out here because you're running on a concrete area that's large enough to host a wedding. There's no fog, and it's not even covered in artificial darkness. It's dimly lit with red lights, a huge scoreboard and you can pretty much see....well...everyone. The guns aren't those plastic scanning looking machines but refurbished paintball guns so they're much heavier and it takes way more precision to hit a target. You have to aim for this black box on the top of your opponents gun and vice versus. You also have to bring your own food and drinks which is nice if you're planning a large gathering or party. I was winded and had to take a break at times.Sometimes the guns didn't work and you have to constantly run back to a safe area/zone to re-up on 'ammunition.' I think I prefer the traditional Lazer tag of the past. The guns are so realistic here. It was kinda odd seeing little children with, what looked pretty much like a machine gun/rifle, considering the times were in with gun violence. But I'm not a Debby downer. I get it! It's all in fun but I probably wouldn't go back. The experience was meh. The parking was hellish in that area. read more

Area 53 - Laser Tag Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

As with so many things in life things we often the remember more fondly things from our youth. It turns out that Laser Tag is one of those things. As a child Laser Tag birthdays were the best thing in the world. As an adult, it seems a large dose of nostalgia and childlike energy helped with the positive memories Area 53 looks like they've inherited an abandoned basement that was unfinished and no one decided to clean up the giant clutter in it. While this is the intended effect for the laser tag game, the clutter and disrepair carries upstairs to the party area - several arcade games (pop a shot, an arcade cabinet, air hockey, foosball) all missing pieces or hastily taped together make the time between games rather dismal When not ruminating in the upstairs area, the actual games of laser tag can be pretty fun. That said, the overall course layout is way too large, especially if you're just a small group of less than 10 people total. Compound that with the entire course being on a concrete floor and you'll be feeling the soreness for days to come, and will be winded during the 15 minute matches. The referee/gamekeeper is pretty laid back when it comes to his job, halfheartedly letting us know when we could go back down to play another game and being more involved in his phone than paying customers. read more

so much fun its cunty we had fun skating and the sky rail throwing ass and good music and food

RUDE STAFF! Unprofessional. Bathroom needs attending. I do not feel like this is a children friendly place because of the staff's attitudes.

Booked a trip. They changed the time without communicating and then asked us to come at a separate time which was completely inconvenient due to them waiting till we get here to inform us that our time was changed. Everyone is clueless. read more

great for kids 5+. lots to do and a big open space for the entire family. Less toddler friendly, recommend the lite pass for under 5s

It's small and there's not much to do. I spent most of my time on line. However, I did enjoy the variety of rock climbing activities.

We prepaid for 70 combo for 90 middle school student. We were scheduled to depart at 12:45. Our pizza was brought out like this at 12:40. Our drinks were served in pitchers with small cups. 1 pitcher was soda water. Shame on Area53 read more

I brought my kids on their day off from school. This is their first time here. Both of them had a great experience. The bonus is it's not crowded and no wait times. read more

Everything went well. Had mah fun. Halloween night was fun here. Adult night was nice

Re rollerskating: This venue is really dangerous for skating. The concrete floor is uneven and the columns and barriers throughout make for unpredictable movements by other skaters. I fell here during a rollerskating night and dislocated and fractured my shoulder. I need surgery and am told I'll be lucky to even regain half my mobility. I've skated in many other places without any issues, but experienced life-changing damage at Area 53. read more

Spent my NYE afternoon here with a group of 8 friends, playing a good ol wholesome game of laser tag. What. a. workout! 2 days later and my legs are still sore from all that running/squatting. Maybe I'm just out of shape, but there was also A LOT of ground to cover between only 8 players. Overall, it was a fun time! Check-in process was seamless -- signed waivers on iPads, got wristbands, paid $37 per person. Inside the huge warehouse, the main upstairs level provides plenty of space to lounge around (sofas and tables), free wifi, bathrooms & water fountains, and offers other fun games like pop a shot, cornhole, Connect 4, etc. It also hangs over the actual laser tag field so you can take a peek at the current game in session when you're not playing. I have to mention that there was great ventilation / air flow - seemed a little chilly at first, but so necessary when everyone's sweating from the game! Lynn was a great host - very enthusiastic, personable and helpful to our group. We played three 15-minute rounds starting at 5pm -- the first 2 were 4 vs. 4, and we swapped bases for each round (the one in the far back is definitely better lol). The last round was the unlimited lives, free-for-all. As for the game itself, I would've liked having body targets instead of solely aiming for everyone else's guns... it was a bit too challenging for a beginner like myself. In addition, one of our players' gun seemed to have not been working (she kept getting killed, but couldn't kill others). We should've restarted the round with a new gun but didn't so our scoreboard was pretty inaccurate. Otherwise I'd recommend this spot for team bonding or a birthday celebration (either kids or adults). Really glad to have spent my NYE here! read more

Once again TikTok has convinced me to try something out, so my husband and I came here on my 26th birthday! However, I think we were a bit oversold on the idea of Area 53. To start, when we came inside, we were greeted with unenthusiastic staff members who looked like they would rather do anything else aside from their job. When we came inside, all of the activities looked extremely cramped together and somewhat dirty. Kids were running around everywhere, which is fine and even expected for a Saturday morning, although it looks like Area 53 is catered more towards 10-year-olds rather than adults. There were 2 jousting areas, although you had to be mindful of tons of kids running around everywhere. There were video/arcade games available, but it was disheartening to see you had to pay extra to play those and were not included in the base price. There were only 2 grimey ping pong tables available, so that felt quite limiting as well. On the more positive side, the zipline/ropes course was a hit! It was actually more exhilarating than I thought it would be. Some adults actually had to back out last minute due to their underestimation of fear of heights, so just keep this in mind! The roller skating was also great, although it was quite a small area, so it felt hard to fully enjoy it. Overall, we spent at least $100 just for the base price/base activities. We had fun just because we were with each other, although if you went with someone you're just getting to know, it could be kind of an expensive bust. read more

Such an amazing time! Thank you so much Area 53 for being so lit. People there were so accommodating and attended to our every need. We loved the concept that in between the 15-minute games, you get a break cause girl, we be running out of breath! I also love the fact you can bring your own food and drinks (bring water!!!). We booked the private time slot and they gave us a lounge area to celebrate. The arena is huge and flat, so no inclines unless you include that little ramp. Lots of places to hide, but not enough for people to camp. It was a perfect sized place! Their equipment was good and very accurate. We played two team games and our last game was a free for all, which I highly suggest people to do. Only thing I should tell you is that the number they list is not reliable and you should just email them instead. They get back to you ASAP and answer all your questions. Fun atmosphere, Area 53 is a great place to hold your party. Can't wait to go back! read more

A great place to have fun with friends. I did the laser tag 3 games each 15mins, played against another team of persons who I met on the day. It's a suoerbfun game, a good work out and great for teamwork. The layout has various objects to hide behind like drums, crates and roadway barriers. Beware some areas have water on the floor and it's a bit dusty which are intentional parts of the floorplan. This is a great game read more

This is a wicked fun place to try laser tag just 1 subway stop outside of Manhattan! The course setup is very unique. It has a post-apocalytptic vibe. There is a variety of structures to hide behind; this helps to create an appropriately challenging game. The staff were friendly and did a wonderful job explaining the rules and mechanics of the game. I would definitely recommend this laser tag center for group outings of any sort! read more

I went to the one on 616 Scholes, in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Took my son and his friends for his 11th birthday. They enjoyed themselves and had a lot of fun. They played for a little over 2 hours. You can bring drinks and food at the location I went to. Staff was pretty friendly and knowledgeable. They took pics of the kids and posted it on Instagram making them feel special. I would go back, without the kids read more

My husband and I went with our fourteen year old son who we thought would think is so lame going jsut with his parents .i loved the adventure of the ropes course and zipline and rock climbing. My son adored roller skating (and for five bucks a rental it was a steal.) Then we spent a good part of the time in arcades. many games were broken but the staff was AWESOME!! Mark at the harnesses was so sweet and encouraging ! Nia at the zipline was really nice and Chris and Kevin (one had a cool hat and one wore glasses and I'm writing this because one has an initial for his last name and you should know he was the roller skates guy..) helped out tremendously. Even the greeter at the door and the cashier at the front was terrific! I wish the hungry hungry hippos worked.. there was tons of kosher food which is nice for those who need that dietary requirement ! We will def return ! read more

We went for the paintball, the staff is kinda rude and you spend most of the time outside waiting for them to call for the next round, in almost 2 hours we only played 2 times, there where kids when we were playing, and at first i didn't mind but they didn't care about the rules while playing. read more

It was a great time; however, we arrived 15 minutes early to the opening, was the 42nd person in line, and it took a little over 22 minutes to enter. They absorbed a good amount of time while waiting one cashier. read more
