    Super fun place for laser tag! The arena consists of a section of the haunted house where there is…read morea sniper tower that's bi-level. Since it's a small walk-up, it's not physically demanding. There are many places to hide and take cover. The equipment was great. I thought it was awesome that there's a display on the gun that shows stats on how much life you have, how much ammo is left, who shot you, who you show and then at the end of each mission, it shows how many terminations and hits you made and how many ammo you used. The missions are fun and take about 10 minutes each. The ability to re-spawn and the number of ammo you get depends on the mission. A lot of them are unlimited re-spawn and ammo. You have to sign a waiver before you can play. There are free arcade games in the lobby you can play while you wait to go into the arena. They also have a locker area where you can store your valuables while you are in play. You have the option of playing by the hour or by the mission: $30/hour or $15 for 3 missions. There's a Groupon deal that's available which offers 1.5 hours (90 minutes) for about $20/person. This was what we did and it was a great deal. You should call for a reservation ahead of time. Tips: -Call to make a reservation -Wear something comfortable and not too warm since you'll be working up a sweat -Bring a bottle of water to rehydrate after (or they also sell bottle water in the lobby) Location: In a strip mall near Burger King

    This was a fantastic time. I seriously felt like a kid again. This is located at the Massacre…read morehaunted house. My buddy and I went on a random Saturday afternoon. We really didn't know what we were expecting when we got there. No one else was there, but these 3 girls that were working. We decided to do an hour of play so that we were able to play all the games. We knew it would be 1 on 1, so it wouldn't as much fun with a big group, but still fun. When we walked into the arena, I was wowed. It was so cool. It was like walking onto a movie set! It takes place in part of the haunted house, so it's spooky, dark, flashing lights, props that scare the crap out of you, sporadically thrown about. All while our own Pandora Radio station was blasting in every room. The games were fun, each one lasting around 10 minutes with different objectives. The coolest thing about this was 2 of the girls working joined us so that "it would be more fun for [us]" which was awesome. They played with us for the whole hour and we all had a blast. You can have up to 16 people playing, but honestly I think that's too many and you'll always be on top of each other. Don't have a group larger than 8 and you'll be golden!

There was a small pickup truck with a skeleton on the street and we knew we were in the area but unless you look hard, it really was not easy to determine where the entrance was. Aside from that, the staff was extremely friendly and happy to have us jump in early and get us set up with our VIP passes. There was a pretty good overview of what to expect and how the equipment was used. The haunted house layout was the same except that it was filled with zombies charging at you. The gun was easy to use and the staff reloaded the magazine for you and ensured it worked for you. What a hugely fun experience! I love the stats board and opportunity to see how accurate you were and how many shots you took. I cannot wait to get back and do it again!

The warehouse is located about an hour from Chicago but the drive is well worth it! There is a lot of referee parking in the area and some public parking for about $4 closer by. I had a reservation for 8pm and there was already quite a crowd when we arrived. With our Groupon we got VIP bands which gave us locker access to lock up our things as well as extra ammo halfway through the warehouse. Registration and signing up for a username were both quick and easy. However the wait to get in was very long. We didn't end up going in until about 10 pm. We went and got some food around the corner at a pizza place (Doughballs, yummy) and that helped to pass some of the time. Finally the moment came to enter: we were given our weapons, flashlights, and told that there were 300 zombies inside for us to kill. I was terrified at this point, but was confident that my companions would keep me safe. It was beyond fun going through the pitch blackness and shooting zombies that popped up around corners or even came running up from behind. Highly recommend!!! If you love laser tag, this is a must! Took off a star for the long wait and because I wish it lasted longer once we were inside.

We get inside and we get greeted by 2 wonderful Men and they walk us thru the whole thing and take us on a creepy Tour, as we were walking back to get our Guns and Ammo, I simply Said Well that was enough for me ...I was scared outta my wits end, I had to stay for the group, I slowly learned how to kill, stalk my prey, I ran outta ammo, millions of times thats ok cuz my team captain alway refilled it, I had unlimited ammo ofcourse, Sweat pouring down all of us and not only that, They were all Scared! I definitely recommend this for a million reasons! #1 Party! #2 Work out #3 absolutely Fun, you will be talking about your experience for days and not only that you will want to come back! I also ask that you get a large group together imagine not knowing who is behind you....My daughter even said she was watching us reload in our headquarters...OMG!

    So much fun, beyond affordable, and great hours! This is an adult playground dream come true! Also…read moregreat for families just emphasizing adult fun bc it's so difficult to find anything like this! They're so much more than an arcade. Though it is pretty awesome with carnival games, old school and new age games, virtual reality games / motorcycles / cars, etc. There is a challenging, exiting go/cart track, huge slides, basketball and other courts, a maze with laser tag, and so much more. My favorites are the rides. They have a spinning, fast roller coaster. As well as an exciting giant drop that goes up and down instead of just one drop. My other favorite is the mini golf courses! Like the rides, they have two courses which are both so fun and completely different. One course is in the center of everything (similar to an outdoor course). The other course is in a separate area and is glow in the dark, which is always a fun change in my opinion. They have a full bar. Food is also served though unsure if it's plates, apps, tapas, or what exactly is served. Employees genuinely appear happy and are so polite, friendly, and considerate. We have already been three times in around 6-7 weeks so safe to say it's my new favorite spot. You know I'll be back and highly recommend to all ages and relationships looking for something fun and unique to do!

    I honestly don't even know how to describe how disappointed I am with Battle House. We are regular…read morecustomers and have spent our money here multiple times, I've been coming here since I was very young which is exactly why this experience was so frustrating. MY GUN WAS BROKEN 3 or 4 TIMES I MISSED BASICALLY HALF OF MY FIRST SESSION The level of professionalism from the staff was absolutely unacceptable. An employee actually joined the other team during our laser tag game and was openly cheating alongside them. My girlfriend's brother and his girlfriend were on that team, and the employee was telling them how to cheat and giving them information during the game. When my girlfriend spoke up about it, the employee argued with her before eventually being told to calm down. Watching an employee actively participate in cheating and then argue with a paying customer who called it out was ridiculous. Then we pointed out another person who was openly cheating. The person was eliminated and then stood around giving information to their team so they could know where people were. When I brought this to the employee's attention, I was basically told there was nothing they could do because the person "wasn't there." Then I was threatened with being kicked out if I continued to be "disrespectful." At that point, I wasn't even trying to argue anymore. My time was already basically up, so there was no point in continuing the conversation or asking for a refund. But the way my girlfriend and I were spoken to was completely unacceptable. There is a huge difference between enforcing rules and disrespecting customers. If an establishment has rules, enforce them fairly. If someone is cheating, address it. And if a customer has a legitimate complaint, have an adult conversation with them instead of arguing with them and threatening to kick them out. I'm a regular customer, and after this experience I can honestly say I have no reason to come back. I don't care about getting into an argument with a minimum-wage employee, and I certainly wasn't going to turn a stupid laser tag game into a physical confrontation. But that doesn't mean customers should have to sit there and tolerate being disrespected. I expect professionalism from businesses, and I expect employees to know how to de-escalate a situation rather than contribute to it. Battle House needs to seriously train its employees on customer service, conflict resolution, and enforcing its own rules fairly. Being a regular customer apparently means absolutely nothing when the staff is willing to treat you like this. Extremely disappointing. I will not be recommending this place to anyone. My instagram is @ilyyuvraj my email is patelyuvraj424@gmail.com hope someone from management reaches out we can talk about this further. Ive heard you can also get banned for writing bad reviews isn't the proving the people right? To be honest I don't care won't be coming back anyways

    Wow. I knew lighting would make a HUGE difference at our wedding and it sure did…read more I also knew we couldn't afford to pay $10k for lighting. Len was fantastic at getting us what we needed for a reasonable price. The best was that we did not have to give him any direction the day of the wedding and he perfectly pulled off our vision for the day. I wish I had another event coming up that needed lighting! I would definitely call Len again.

    I am so glad we went with Len! I think I was a bit of an anxious bride for him, and wanted…read moreeverything to be perfect, but he absolutely capitalized on the beautiful, natural tones of our reception venue. He also worked with our florist (Zuzu's Petals) to ensure the space was flawlessly lit and the amazing floral work was enhanced. I vaguely remember that we got a proposal from some shi shi place that everyone said was a must have for a Chicago wedding. Len was easier to work with, and literally thousands of dollars less expensive. He runs a pretty no frills operation, you can choose what you want from his wide selection, and he makes it happen. I didn't have what I would call a "design experience" with Len. But I told him my colors, that I wanted a gobo with tree branches, and that I wanted the lights to change throughout the night while capitalizing on the skylight of the venue. Done and Done...he made it happen! He met me at the venue once (again, I was a nervous wreck) and that was all he needed to execute the vision. Thank you, Len. Between you and Zuzu's, Loft on Lake was even more breathtaking on March 8th, 2014!
