We went to Laserdome for their "Deck The Holograms" augmented reality holiday experience, and honestly, it was such a delight! Picture this: you step inside a life-sized holographic North Pole, wearing lightweight AR glasses, tossing virtual snowballs, collecting ornaments, helping Santa save Christmas, and discovering festive surprises along the way. It's part game, part holiday movie, and all-around magical. From their website: "Deck the Holograms is a family-friendly augmented reality adventure that transports you inside a life-sized holographic North Pole...an unforgettable shared experience for families, friends, and believers of all ages." Yup, it's exactly that -- and it totally lives up to the hype. We did the experience as a pair, and it was so much fun together. Plus, we got 3 hours of free arcade play included with our tickets for $34.99 per person, which honestly feels like a steal. We even spent a little time in the arcade before jumping into the AR adventure, which was a nice warm-up. The story itself was surprisingly thoughtful -- it made us reflect on being present in the moment during the holidays instead of getting lost in our phones. It's playful, immersive, and yes, totally enjoyable for 40+ year olds too. Plenty of parking, plenty of space to move around, and the whole experience is cozy and warm inside -- perfect for a chilly December night. We booked our tickets from the parking lot on the last Friday before Christmas and had no trouble snagging the 8pm time slot we wanted. Overall, it's a low-impact, warm, immersive, and joyful way to celebrate the season. If you're looking for something different, memorable, and just plain fun, do yourself a favor and check out Deck The Holograms -- you won't regret it! read more

Was fun! They take good care to be sure we had fun!!!! Whole family had fun. It was a good time. I would definitely recommend this place.

We enjoyed all you can play for a few hours. It was so worth it paying a flat price and we all used the card. We even got to play laser tag. They have drinks if you get thirsty and a parking lot. All the games were working. We had the whole place to ourselves being everyone was afraid to come out of their homes bc of Cov., when we went. read more

Although they advertise the secret garden and star show and it sounds really nice, it was just okay. It's in a small laser dome room that all you do is walk back and forth in. You see things through the glasses and you're supposed to interact with them by pretending to touch them. Anybody else watching you do this sees you walking around with your hands out in front of you touching absolutely nothing. You also see most of everything that's already in the room in the background which ruins it for the whole experience. For the price it's way too much. For the experience it was it was kind of cool but not what I expected. It looks so much better than the advertise it for other places that have the same show or similar 3D glasses shows read more

My review is coming from the perspective of a group who only wanted to do Laser tag during a bachelor party. Laserdome is easy to find, directly off of 283, and they have adequate parking. You might want to leave your coat in whatever vehicle you drove here for convenience. We called ahead checking if we needed reservations and they basically said walk-ins are fine, has not been crowded. Upon arrival multiple children's birthday parties were ongoing and it was crowded. This place is not large and that's one of the issues. Moving around here is a bit of a chore. Center of the first floor is where the cashier is located, along with various LED TV's showing what packages you can purchase. The process of working our group though the cashier was easy enough, but the details on what time the Laser tag starts is something Laserdome needs to work on. It felt very vague. They do eventually call your group over the intercom. While we waited, we did wander around checking out the place. Game quality? I would say most of the current game selection is 5-10 years behind more modern arcades and are due for an upgrade. They advertise Pinball, and only had three machines. They do have a snack bar, with soda, pizza, and ice cream products. We eventually moved upstairs to a quieter area until we figured out what was going on with Laser tag. The Laser tag equipment is your standard vest and gun type. It was free for all when we played, everyone for themselves. While the area is two stories and full of neon and dark lights...having 30ish people in this space was too many. At best, the Laser tag game was ok. If you have a family, and are looking for a day out in a self-contained area that your kids can't get lost? This is probably an option. Would I return here for the arcade or Laser tag? No, alone there are better options for the arcade in the surrounding area. read more

Do not do the star walk absolute waste of money. The headsets don't even cover your face enough to make you feel immersed and the graphics are awful. Save your money read more

Laserdome is a very welcoming place, with many staff members that show so much effort. The managers do everything they can when an issue is addressed with no hesitation. The staff also do an amazing job and make sure everyone is happy and taken care of. All staff members are very respectful and show they care about their job.Thank you all for an amazing service. read more

The pass says garden and star show but also says 3 hour arcade access but in reality only includes the two laser type shoy

This is a very fun place and my kids love it especially with the arcade and laser tag I come here almost every Saturday with my boys and they want to comeback everyday read more

There were 3 of us and we are VERY competitive! We reserved the unreal gardens for 7 pm. 2 of us got set up first then my sister. We were having a pretty good time even though there were lots of people. Suddenly my sister's game ended and I still had 5:38 minutes. When my game ended I went to see what happened and forgot to look at my score. They erased it before Eric's time ran out. read more

What a great family experience! Tons of games to play while you wait for laser tag! Very enjoyable! read more

My family had tickets for The Unreal Garden, both the Garden and the Solar System. We had never been to this location before so had no idea what to expect. The building is an arcade with a separate room for the VR. For the event, the girls working that room were pleasant but didn't really offer a lot of information so I was lost a bit throughout both events. The idea of it all is pretty cool and you'll likely enjoy yourself, but for the price it should be so much better, in both the experience as well as the graphics. The graphics, while bright and enchanting, are only so-so in quality and execution. The Solar Stem was cool but it does require a fair amount of reading which got a little bit tedious. The room itself is sizable but you're in there with other parties so you have to be aware of your surroundings so as not to bump into each other while you're literally wandering around these VR "locations" within the space. read more

Come on. Who doesn't love Lasertag? They just refurbished the place and put in new more accurate lasers and new games. Sometimes I take my kids, sometimes I just go for fun. WOO lasertag. read more

Yesterday I had one of the worst experiences of my life at this place of business! I purchased 4 tickets costing a total of $158 to the Laserdome's Verse Immersive show which lasts an hour and a half. I purchased these tickets as a birthday present for my 8 year old grandson's and my 80 year old disabled mother in law's birthday. I was so excited for them to have this fun unique awesome event experience because my grandson loves science and my mother in law due to her disability doesn't get out much other than doctor's appointments. We drove 1.5 hours to get to Laserdome to enjoy this special event and after the event, have to drive another 1.5 hours back home after the event was over. However, 10 minutes into the immersive event, the headset fell off of my 8 year old grandson's head, when we went to a staff member to have them put the headset back on his head, we were told that they couldn't do that. They told us that if a headset falls off or is taken off ones head, they cannot put it back on that person's head but rather, that person can no longer play the game. There is NOTHING on Laserdome's website putting a customer on notice of about this so called rule, nor did any of the staff members tell us this fact when they were first fitting us with the headset. I tried to explain to the manager on site about how important this event is to my 8 year old grandson and elderly mother in law because it is their special birthday present. Nope, to them, it is the rule period and they were going to do nothing to accomodate or assist us in any way. They also denied that their staff didn't put my grandson's headset on tight enough. They would not assume or accept any responsibility nor would they do anything to accomodate or resolve the issue other than, we could no longer participate in the event. What made the whole experience even worse was how we were treated by their young inexperienced and immature manager because he never addressed my concerns about the situation but rather he was argumentative, very belligerent, sarcastic, condensending, unprofessional and very disrespectful toward me and my family. That is when I asked the manager to talk to the general manager and was told that I had to contact the owner of the business which I did call him while I was there for resoluation but only got his voice mail. When I asked the staff for a full refund, I was denied a full refund and when I then texted the owner, he also refused to refund me nor did the owner care about how his manager treated me and my family. I guess the owner only cares about making money and not concerned at all about the customer or customer satisfaction. This truly was the worst experience that I have ever had at a place of business. read more

Wanted a gottshall family fun night and decided to come here. When you check in on yelp you can get a free arcade card which gives you 5 hours of unlimited free games. There are only certain games that are free (pretty much you can't earn tickets) but we don't want that stuff anyway so this was fine). There are lots of packages to choose from and the manager was very helpful in explaining everything to us. We really just wanted laser tag. So we purchased a session and off we went. Before it started we had a video tutorial in a briefing room where there was seating. The two young men who were our staff were actually very helpful and Informative. They looked like high school boys so I just pictured that they wouldn't care they'd just be there because they had to. But they proved me wrong. They were super friendly and mature and were very good at keeping everyone in line. The course itself was fun and I laughed like a hyena trying to avoid getting shot. We played two games in there and really enjoyed ourselves. Afterward we played some of our free games but we were getting hangry so we headed off to find dinner. I'd do a birthday party here or come back for just a random night of fun! It was a well run facility which I feel can be rare for this kind of business in the area. read more

The boys had to much stored up energy at home, but it was 27 degrees out and dark outside.... so we headed out to Laserdome to release it. When we got there there wasn't much of crowd. I bought them both the $19.99 package which includes: 5 hours of laser tag, $5.00 game card and racing zone. Also, added another $5.00 to the card, so I think they were upgraded to the 25.00 package. The boys commented, "We forgot how much fun this was!!!" We are sure to return again. This was money well spent. We did eat French fries there and they were hot, delicious and Reasonable priced. If I were to recommend anything it would be to keep the food area wiped up. There was salt and oil on the stainless steel counter area. I'm a mom I felt the urge to wipe it and clean that area. Otherwise, we love this place! ------------------------------------- Update: went there last night and wasn't as much fun. Many of the racing games were being hogged by kids and adults. There should be a limit on how long one person can play at a time. Reduced stars now. read more

Fantastic time for kids. All the employees were great. Very helpful. Loved the laser tag, talk about getting your blood pumping. Kids played on games for s while after laser tag amd loved it.

Laserdome - One of the rides the kids loved. Too bouncy for the over 40 year olds in the house. - Arcades Near Me - Manheim, Pennsylvania

I have driven past the Laser Dome a countless number of times. It wasn't until last winter that some of my friends and I decided to venture in. There were about ten of us who went during a week night. We had printed out student discount coupons beforehand. I think it came to $12 a person, but then we got $10 in free arcade game play. When you arrive at the Laser Dome there are a ton of arcade games, everything from ski ball to the basketball hoops games. The coolest arcade game here was a laser cat walk room. For a dollar or two you could enter a small black room and try to get to the other side without hitting the laser- similar to what you see spies doing in the movies. My friends seemed to enjoy this, and it was the first time I had seen something like it. After checking in, the staff will give you a designated time for your laser tag play. When the time arrives you have to sit through a short demonstration and safety lesson. After that, teams are selected and you gear up. I'm not sure how clean all the gear is, but I put it on anyway and showered when I got home. The actual laser "dome" was not open, but there was an additional area that we went into. The laser area was awesome; there were tons of ramps to climb on and places to hide. I enjoyed myself much more than I expected to. There weren't too many little kids, but I think we avoided that because we went later on a weeknight. This is a great group activity and would be perfect for team bonding or birthday parties. read more

Me and my friends were so excited to go to laserdome but then found out it was FIFTEEN DOLLARS per person for a HALF HOUR. And guess what, the said "half hour" was only 15 minutes. What a rip off. read more

My son celebrated his 13th birthday party here. Overall, I was pleased with our experience. The kids had a lot of fun, the food was good, and the tables/decorations were set up nicely. My only complaint is that we didn't have a party host, and it really wasn't explained to us why we didn't. I'm capable of carrying my own items upstairs, and serving my own food. However, during his laser tag session, it was the birthday of a member of the opposite team. That child's host yelled out to everyone in laser tag that they had a special birthday shout out and to give the kid a round of applause...while my son who's actual birthday was on the day of his party got to watch. If it was a staffing issue, that should have been explained or really we should have gotten a discount, since a host was part of our package. Just saying! read more

Man do I love this place! So much fun I personally aimed for Wednesday when the arcade would go free play To this day this was the only way I've ever made it through an arcade shooter(free play rocks!) They use to open it for dancing in the laser tag arena in certain dates and times I don't know if they do that anymore read more

Although I got second place every round and I'm proud of how I played especially because I was in a boot with bone bruising and two broken bones. But no! I was ripped off! I was so excited to come from out of town to laserdome and play some awesome laser tag but I was let down. I overpaid for less time then what was promised. 15$ for 15 minutes of play when I was told it would be 30 minutes. I wish I could rate it 0 stars. I don't recommend. The employees were very unpleasant and didn't want to be there. We were not taken care of. It has a lot of potential and could be tons of fun but if you're thinking about playing laser tag don't go to laserdome. read more

As a teen I don't recommend. Came here with a few friends and made a reservation. Had a birthday party in our game session. Staff supervisors for laser tag were not useful. Allowing these kids to lay in the middle of the upper walkway like downed call of duty characters. The place is really unorganized and small for as many people were here. Staff at the counter were really nice just wish the staff in our laser tag game had the motivation to enforce the rules they preach at the beginning. read more

This was such a fun time. We participated in Laser tag, played the arcade games and Xbox. This was fun for our entire family. The laser tag tired everyone out. The 2 girls that were our referees were friendly and knowledgeable. There were some younger kids in our party and they were very patient with the children. The place is not as expensive as Dave and busters, but you will spend some money when you go there. All in all everyone had a good time and can't wait to go back. read more

Laserdome is a great place for kids and adults that love to live as if they're still kids. Prices are relatively fair, the food is okay. They have a good amount of rounds per night and every time I have gone it was one price for unlimited play for the evening. Definitely a good time if you are looking for something to do with a group of friends and you're sick of the same old same old. Fun place though and good staff. read more

When visiting my in-laws around Christmas, we had a groupon for Laserdome and decided to try it out one Saturday. I went laser tagging near my house a few years ago(I don't live in the Lancaster area) and was disappointed. I expected to be disappointed again by Laserdome and the act of laser tag but went to have fun with my 9-year old sister-in-law. My husband who grew up in the area and spent many days at Laserdome, also feared it would be disappointing as an adult. However, Laserdome was far, far from disappointing. We had so much fun. We only signed up for 2 games because we didn't have much time. They had a four-hour package going and when we first arrived that sounded like so much time, but I totally could have kept playing for four hours!! I loved how they had a different power-up (not sure what they called it) every game. Every 45 seconds or so, some random people on each team would get a power-up (your vest would announce it to you). The power-ups didn't last long, but for us they included deflection (if you get shot, it counts as a shot against the person shooting), invincibility and rapid fire! This made it SO much fun and really even-ed out the playing field for my 9-year old sister-in-law! In between games, we had fun playing in the arcade together. It was a day to remember and we're looking forward to coming back. If you had a league, my sister-in-law would definitely join. It was her first time playing laser tag and she had the time of her life!! read more

We were visiting the Lancaster area last week and our kids talked us into letting them go here for a couple hours. They (and my husband) had a blast! It's was reasonably priced for what it is. read more

Exceeded my expectations. This place is a jewel in an otherwise nothing but cows and skunks kind of place. The host was young but acted completely professionally with the party. The whole place was run with precision in terms of time and activities. (Welcome: 8:20 - 8:40. Lasertag: 8:40 - 9:10. Pizza and ice cream cake: 9:10 - 9:40. Dancing 9:40 - 10: 30 etc.) Everything was explained to me and everything went according to plan. The only thing I can think of that they can improve on is the food selection -- but you're not really there for the food, are you. A few more healthier food options would be nice. But really, we had a blast at the laserdome. read more

A fun place to hang out if you're with a group and you've already done all there is to do in Lancaster (which is pretty easy to do)... or it's late and everything else is closed. Friendly staff (even with all those kids!) Speaking of kids, if you're not a kid, be prepared to be bombarded by kids and pizza parties at this joint, so make sure you go with a large group of same-aged/generation friends. And make a reservation beforehand! I've never been to any other lasertag places but I guess the suits don't vibrate/shock you when you get shot. Oh well. read more

Great show!! Perfect for the holiday season. Great for all ages. Highly recommend! Very friendly people.

Laserdome is a refreshing, affordable and fun place to spend a few hours with the kids at. Being an arcade guru myself, of course I've passed on the love of mastering arcade machines to snag the most tickets to my kids. This location is conveniently located near Hershey and campgrounds with plenty of parking. Although there's a big sign on the street, I would of preferred to see a sign on the building as it was a tad confusing. Walking in you see a clean, well maintained arcade. All the machines are digital, so you check out 1 of two machines where you fill cards with cash or credit card to use on the games. Just swipe your card (similar to Dave and Busters) on whatever game you choose and you're in! Keep in mind that not all games pay out tickets. They have a nice selection from claws, coin pushers to even Xbox games. But I need to point out a few things that bugged me. Firstly, there's only 3 claw machines and 1 of them is the candy one. The other two are ticket bundles or small off brand stuffed animals... which isn't a bad thing but the claws are set soooooooooo sensitive that it's blatantly obvious. You'll see the claw literally wrap a object and not even nudge it. Secondly, the wheel of fortune game where you have to stop the circling light on "bonus" it's also set in high favor of the house. You land on bonus and see it obviously skip to the next light. Of course these aggressive settings are good at keeping people like myself who can manipulate them and win large amounts of tickets away but makes it impossible for kids. I'd really like them to add some more ticket earning games as I felt there wasn't enough. The prize area is very nice as it's a nice sized shop area with quality items at fair or maybe a little higher than fair ticket quantities. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. I can't comment on the Lazer tag as I didn't get the opportunity but I seen a lot of smiling faces. They also have a nice snack bar with hot food that I didn't try but looked good. This is def a place I'll be returning to next time I'm in town. read more

Owner treats employees horribly, machines are usually broken, and everything (including the prizeroom) is way overpriced. I also will never forget how filthy the place is. There was dust and dirt everywhere.... In conclusion, I wish I could give it more stars with what the employees have to deal with, but the negatives cover up the positives. Bless those employees. read more

Stopped in while looking for some fun stuff to do in the area. It's a bit small and the games are a little outdated, but if you're lucky enough to bring in one of their advertisement cards like the one we got from our hotel it gives you a free five-hour card good for unlimited use on certain games (air hockey, Madden '17, a driving game, etc.). We didn't play laser tag but it seems like that would have brought the score up a little. Not a lot of variety and one of the two skee-ball games was broken, as was one of the two basketball games. Still, a fun hour and a half and only cost us $10 after we added some money on our cards. read more

It doesn't look like much on the outside but this is a great place for laser tag. It has the best price and a very roomy area for the game. The pizza is great. It is a great place for birthday parties too. There is an area for several parties at once. They also have an arcade area that you can play in between playing tag. It is a fantastic place to spend a day with your family. They allow even small children to play with a parent. read more

This place is AWESOME for family fun!!! Prices are great!!!! They have cards you can purchase for unlimited arcade & laser tag games which I have never seen anywhere else & was certainly a very great deal for the money. Took my kids there planning to spend an hour or two & ended up spending almost 4 hours there!!!! I myself even got in on the laser tag action & it was an awesome family activity & exercise!!!
