1/ WonderWorks
Address: 9910 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Beach, FL 32407
Phone Number: 850-249-7000
WonderWorks is filled with entertaining attractions like Wonder Zones that transport you to a bubble bustling extreme weather or let you explore outer space. It really feels like WonderWorks hasn’t forgotten anything in this fun utopia, especially since they have a laser tag arena that comes included with your ticket inside the venue!
They’ve gone all out with their laser tag set up and designed the arena to look like a “close contact training center.” The vests and attached laser guns are the ultimate sci-fi dream and we love all the colorful lights that bring the arena to life!
Customers have loved their laser tag experiences and many have come back several times! Some even said that laser tag was one of the best attractions WonderWorks offers!
There is also a ropes course, smaller activities, and plenty of little bits and bobs to point out and interact with around the space. Of course, we can’t mention that the WonderWorks building looks like it was picked up, turned on its head, then made into an attraction for children to enjoy. Getting to enjoy the outer architecture is half the fun!
And don’t worry parents, other adult customers have had just as much fun as their children there, so expect to enjoy plenty of activities during your many hours there! We’ll be impressed if you manage to try every attraction and activity inside WonderWorks because it is jam-packed with fun around every corner!
2/ Fun Mania VR
Address: 10908 suite B, Front Beach Rd, Panama City Beach, FL
Phone Number: 850-252-3700
If you’re looking for an innovative way to enjoy laser tag, look no further than Fun Mania VR! This VR focused space offers a virtual laser tag that melds the best from the laser tag world and video game world to create the ultimate playing experience!
Players are given the classic laser tag guns and vests and then fitted with a VR headset that brings them into an alternate dimension. With a new world in front of them, the players have to navigate the space while trying to follow the mission and bring down other players.
You probably won’t be running around as much as you might when playing traditional laser tag but we don’t think that will take away from the experience. Instead, you can focus on navigating the new world and exploring alien lands!
The good news is, you don’t need to be a VR or video game pro to appreciate the games and have a blast! Younger kids will enjoy the thrill but adults have also had great times there.
They also have more traditional VR games, too, if you’re not feeling as competitive.
While nothing beats a good old-fashioned laser tag game, we highly encourage customers looking for something new to stop by FunMania VR and give their high-tech laser tag a try. Who knows, you might never want to go back to real-life laser tag again!
3/ Emerald Coast Mirror Maze
Address: 701 Pier Park Dr Ste 107 Panama City Beach, FL
Phone Number: 850-230-6249
There are several ways to have fun at Panama City’s Emerald Coast Mirror Maze. Let’s start with the attraction in the name, their Mirror Maze! This funhouse style maze is covered in glow-in-the-dark paint and mainly made up of reflective and disorientating mirrors.
Have fun shuffling around the pathways trying to find your way out without bumping into anyone — or yourself! Kids and adults will love this unique and entertaining challenge.
Now for the laser tag. The arena takes glow-in-the-dark to a whole new level. Every panel is completely illuminated with a fun, bright color.
Children will love walking into a space that appears to be colored in with neon markers. It is a cartoon-styled fantasy that is utterly immersive and visually stimulating.
The vests also glow in the darkened laser tag venue and players can either play on the yellow team or orange team. Which will you pick?
Customers enjoyed their time at Emerald Coast Mirror Maze and appreciate how helpful and kind the staff are. The laser tag may not be suitable for teenagers but we’re sure accompanying parents won’t mind participating with their enthusiastic children.
They also have a Mission Impossible laser challenge where players duck and dive through shooting lasers in a room as Tom Cruise might in one of his several successful action movies. It sounds like a great way to have fun working on your agility, so give it a go while you’re there!
4/ Thrills Laser Tag and Arcade
Address: 90 Seascape Dr Ste 105 Miramar Beach, FL
Phone Number: 850-842-4747
Not too far away in Miramar Beach, Thrills Laser Tag is bustling with games, rounds of laser tag, and a whole lot of fun!
To start, the laser tag venue is two stories high so players don’t just get to run around a flat space, they also get to attack their opponents from above! The Temple of Doom laser tag looks like an action movie set. We can see children and their parents walking up to the entrance and getting very excited by what they’re about to experience!
The inside of the arena is even better than the outside. The brilliant, glowing temple looks like a video game. The colors are so vibrant the space almost doesn’t look real. We can only imagine how much fun people have running around and pretending they are Indiana Jones on a mission inside this wonderfully constructed venue.
The vests and laser tag guns look well-maintained and feature small glowing lights built into them.
There are several games to choose from and a good mix of traditional and modern versions of the classics when it comes to the arcade. You can try to fish a toy out with a claw or have a go playing a safari-themed digital game.
Of course, you can’t leave without checking out the prize wall and cashing in your tickets!
There really is something for everyone here!
5/ Destin Laser Tag
Address: 20011 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin, FL 32541
Phone number: 850-650-6748
Destin Laser Tag isn’t too far from Panama City and is well worth the trek. Their laser tag arena is a 4,000 square foot maze that can accommodate up to 40 people. That’s a lot of space for a lot of fun for plenty of enthusiastic players!
The fun establishment knows how to use lights to create an enticing atmosphere. New customers will love the transportive design and will be blown away by the venue’s scale.
If laser tag isn’t your thing, or if you’ve felt like you’ve played enough, you can have a try at their blacklight mini-golf. They also have a few games to fill the time with.
Younger children will also have a blast here!
Customers have been very satisfied with their experience there. The staff is helpful, the space is very family-friendly, and it’s a great place for groups looking for fun over the weekend!
You can even get discounted prices on multiple games of laser tag and mini-golf. Who doesn’t love entertaining and affordable?
As a bonus, Destin Laser Tag offers unlimited laser tag and mini-golf every Saturday morning!
