Battle House Laser Tag
This isn’t arcade laser tag. At Battle House, a referee runs missions like capture the flag through a 10,000-square-foot mock city with two-story buildings, and the layout changes so returning players don’t know it.
Why families go
It’s rated about as highly as anything in Wilmington, and parents often end up playing alongside their kids. Groups and birthday parties love the referee-led missions and the choice of replica blasters. It costs a bit more than casual laser tag, but visitors say you get plenty of play time. The theme is military-style, so parents of younger kids may prefer Jungle Rapids’ gentler arena.
