Laser tag isn’t just for kids. In fact, there are plenty of incredible laser tag venues in and around Nottinghamshire, with student-friendly prices. If anything, a spirited game with fake weapons and friendly competition could make for a great break from deadlines, or make for a fun date. So, to help you find the perfect place for a game of laser tag near you, we’ve rounded up some of the best locations in Nottingham.

1. Tenpin’s Sector 7 Laser Tag

Address: Clifton Blvd, Redfield Way, Nottingham NG7 2UW Tenpin’s Laser Tag is one of the better options for uni students location-wise. It’s roughly a six-minute drive away from the University of Nottingham’s University Park campus, next to the Showcase Cinema. The fully interactive laser area offers two packages if booked online. Their weekday option is £30 for a team of six where players face other groups for a half-hour game. Alternatively, their weekend package can be up to £200, which works out cheap as groups as big as 30 can hire the entire arena for themselves – great for birthdays. In the centre, prices are £5 per person for one game and £8 for two. The venue also hosts other fun activities like bowling, soft play, escape rooms and karaoke, if you still have some energy left over.

Next up is Laser Tag Nottingham, a great indoor laser tag arena in the heart of Nottingham’s city centre. The venue has the largest multi-level laser tag arena in the city, with strobe lights, music and swirling smoke to make the atmosphere as enjoyable as it can be. They’re open to groups and individuals from age 8 to adults, again great for parties and socials. Each game lasts 20 minutes, with both team and solo games available (every player receives their own score sheet as well). Their standard price is £6 per player, but they also have an amazing range of offers. For example, the best ones for students are their £5 tickets if you can show a college or university ID, and their two games for the price of one deal on Tuesdays. We definitely recommend checking them out if you’re interested in their themed advanced games, like ‘Zombie Infection’, played on Wednesday and Sunday evenings from 7pm to 8pm.

3. Quasar Nottingham

They are welcome to all players over the age of 7, but don’t worry – groups are matched by age. with a student rate of two games for £6 (or just one for £5), it’s a complete bargain! The arena houses three vast floors with an immersive militarised layout and high-tech interactive sound and light effects. Their bruise-less contact and no running rules make for a gentler setting, especially perfect for those who have never played before. From Monday to Friday, Quasar is open from 12pm to 8pm. On Saturdays, however, they’re open from 10am to 8pm and 11am to 7pm on Sundays.
