Columbia, Missouri is a college town known for its amazing barbecue and delicious local wines. But it’s so much more than a city full of higher education and wonderful culinary experiences, they also have several laser tag centers!
Everybody loves a classic indoor laser tag experience, but Columbia mixes it up a bit with two phenomenal outdoor laser tag options which are perfect for older players or people eager to spend the afternoon in the sun.
So, before any Columbia locals start planning their next Saturday, read about the four amazing laser tag centers in the area. Your next memorable weekend experience might be just around the corner!

1/ Bill’s Xtreme Laser Tag
Address: Wherever you want!
Phone Number: 417-466-8989
Bill’s Xtreme Laser Tag is known for its fantastic outdoor laser tag facility in Marionville, MO. While some dedicated players may not mind driving over there, it might be a little far for a regular Saturday afternoon activity.
The good news is that they are now bringing their laser tag service to Columbia MO via mobile laser tag. Now Columbia locals can play with their high-quality equipment in their own backyard.
There are several party packages to choose from, with the largest accommodating up to 31 players at once! Mobile laser tag includes props like hostage and medic boxes, a referee (or several, depending on the package size), and a couple of hours of playing time.
The service can be set up indoors or outside, just keep in mind that playing outdoors will cost slightly more. All the players must be at least seven years old to participate.
This would be perfect for a birthday party, especially if the birthday kid loves laser tag and wants to try out more elaborate phasers. With that being said, adults will love playing Bill’s Xtreme laser tag just as much. You don’t even need an occasion!
Customers were pleased with their experience. The staff is professional, the equipment is well-maintained, and the games were memorable!
If you do get a chance to drive to Marionville and play at their facility, we highly recommend it!
2/ Midway Golf & Games
Address: 5500 W Van Horn Tavern Rd Columbia, MO 65203
Phone Number: 573-445-8100
Midway Golf & Games is more than a golf course, it has several action-packed door games for the whole family, including laser tag!
Most laser tag arenas are indoors and feature lots of flashing lights, bright colors, and maybe a fog machine or two. Midway Golf & Games take the sport outside and into a military-themed battlefield.
If you like tactical laser tag, you are going to love playing in their realistic outdoor arena. The high-quality phasers are connected to headbands, not vests, so players don’t have to lug a hot vest around the arena.
Up to 24 players can participate at one top (12 on each team) and there are over 30 game modes to choose from, including Capture the Flag, Domination, and Infection. You’d have to play from sunrise to sunset just to experience every mission.
Games last about 12 minutes and need at least 6 players. Children must be at least 8 years old to play and everyone needs to wear closed-toed shoes. That means absolutely no sandals — even on a hot summer’s day!
If you have time after your laser tag game, try out their axe throwing, batting cages, go-karts, mini golf, archery tag, yard games, and footgolf. There’s no telling how much fun you’re going to have with that many activities at your disposal!
Customers loved playing laser tag outside and felt like it was an upgrade to conventional indoor laser tag games. One person mentioned poison ivy in the arena, so keep an eye out. We recommend long pants if it’s not too hot.
3/ LevelUp Entertainment
Address: 2300 Bernadette Drive Columbia, Missouri 65203
Phone Number: 573-615-0443
Looking to keep the family occupied on a rainy day? LevelUp Entertainment might be your answer!
There are several attractions to try, and each one of them is even better than the last. However, nothing beats a classic game of laser tag.
The laser tag arena will transport players to the streets of New York City, where the ninja turtles fight crime. We love how every structure, whether it’s big or small, is detailed and colorful.
If you’ve ever wanted to fight crime in an urban cartoon dreamland, now’s your chance. Kids will love exploring the tall buildings and trying to read the glowing graffiti, and parents will enjoy themselves, too.
The phasers light up and match the glowing sensors on the vests.
If you’re going to LevelUp as a big group, call ahead and book the whole arena out for a private laser tag party!
Visitors can also bowl, work on their balance on the ropes course, and get competitive at the arcade.
They also have a restaurant and serve alcohol at their bar.
Customers had a wonderful time at LevelUp and loved their laser tag experience. The environment is family-friendly, and kids really enjoy the variety of games LevelUp offers.
4/ Lazer Force
Address: 5473 Osage Beach Pkwy, Osage Beach, MO 65065
Phone Number: 573-348-2222
Over in Osage, MO, Lazer Force is busy entertaining crowds with the magic of laser tag. Their 4,000 square foot arena can fit up to 26 enthusiastic players at a time.
The first thing you’ll notice when you pull up to Lazer Force is the giant UFO on top of the roof. It’s sure to get everyone’s attention and set the mood for the fun to follow.
The establishment welcomes players as young as five and as old as 85. That means the whole family can join in on the fun!
The arena is filled with heart-racing music, ambient fog, beams of light, and plenty of hallways to run up and down as you stalk the opposing team. Everybody loves a bit of friendly competition, and laser tag is the best way to have fun and (hopefully) win!
They also have an arcade with games for older and younger children.
Customers had a wonderful time at Lazer Force. Large groups enjoyed the spacious course and families appreciated how friendly the staff were.
Visitors celebrating birthday parties at Lazer Force had a blast and loved how many activities/games the party guests could try during their time there.
If you’re an arcade person, you’ll be pleased to hear they also have fantastic prizes. Who knows, you might get lucky and end up winning the arcade prize of your dreams. There’s only one way to find out!
