Featured Experience: Grown-Up Recess

Remember when making friends was as easy as showing up to recess?

For one night, we're bringing that energy back.

This New Friend Social is themed around Grown-Up Recess and includes mobile laser tag as a featured experience, included with your ticket. Team up with new friends, jump into some friendly competition, and relive some of the best parts of being a kid, without the homework.

We'll also have additional games, activities, giveaways, and plenty of opportunities to mix, mingle, and meet new people throughout the evening.

Come ready to play, laugh, and leave with new friends and new plans.

Parking
