How a youth group night works here
One package, one price per person. Bowling, laser tag and food come in one flat per-person package, so leaders collect one simple amount per kid. We handle the lanes, the food timing and the staff.
Everyone stays together. It's all under one roof, so a group of 15 or 150 moves as one and nobody is left standing around. Leaders tell us the best part happens on a lane: the quiet kids end up in the middle of it.
Lock-ins start at midnight. On Friday and Saturday nights, after we close to the public, a lock-in runs from midnight to 3 a.m. or midnight to 4 a.m. There is a minimum number of guests, so talk to our events team for the details.
Want the group to yourselves? Suite 28 is our private space for up to 200, with eight private lanes of its own.
