One of the parents at our daughter's school arranged a large group of kids and parents to enjoy a daytime session of laser tag and we were definitely excited to check this place out. We arrived 15 min early to get situated, we paid for a separate room to put our personal belongings in and waited until we were called to the briefing room. We had around a group of 25+ people so our session only included our own group. We got instructions in the briefing room and was off putting our gear on. It was a free for all style of play, everyone player for themselves. I was surprised to see how big the room was and the also had second story which adds another dynamic during the play. You can shoot off mirrors to ricochet to hit sensors on the other players. It was quite engaging and a ton of fun. Our girls are ages 7 and 9 and they got a hang of how to play right away. Surprisingly, the parents had just as much fun, if not more! The session lasted around 15-20 minutes if I had to estimate and it was definitely enough time to enjoy. The biggest surprise was how much of a workout it was. Every parent mentioned that they were sweating and got a good workout in. They recognize every player including the top 3 scores at the end. You can purchase by session - we decided to do 2 and I think it was the perfect amount. After our first session, there was a group in between to give us a much needed break and we went back in. I recommend coming here with your kids for a family event or even a group event. I am planning to look at birthday party options for my kids bday party later this year. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Pretty fun place to spend time with kids. The only negative was one of the front desk people was pretty unfriendly when I tried to check in with her. She said pretty coldly "I don't do that". Otherwise the other staff have been very friendly and helpful. We've had a lot of fun with our 6 year old and 8 year old. read more

Actually had the best time here! Came with a group of friends - we're in our mid 20s. I totally thought laser tag was just for young kids and yes there were some young kids in the arena but this was a lot of fun for all involved. Loved all the obstacles and different levels within the course. Very well done and definitely would recommend for small groups or parties! read more

I've been to LaserMaxx with my family a few times now. This is a super straightforward experience. Show up, play laser tag. There are a few arcade games and places to sit while you wait. For your match. A couple of rooms for birthdays. The maze is two levels and well designed so no one has an advantage and just about anyone can win if they are quick and have good aim. Great experience for kids and parent a like. Super friendly staff. And you get to pick a code name! So much fun. Could improve by having lockers or cubbies for personal items. read more

Just went back to LaserMaxx last night and i must say, i was NOT disappointed (why would i be). we had barely made it on time to play the last game for my sons birthday and they were very much accommodating as usual. very friendly and willing to help. And they now offer laser set ups for the smaller kids who dont completely fill out the vest they provide you initially, which is so cool, convenient, and helpful as my children are on the smaller side and the regular vest could be a little uncomfortable and on the heavy side as well. all in all another great 10/10 experience. i strongly suggest trying this place out if you have a very energetic and active child. its also fun for adults as well i might say. we will definitely continue to frequent this establishment. read more

LaserMaxx - The boys using the smaller laser tag set ups. Very convenient and still just as much fun - Laser Tag Near Me - San Jose, California

My boys wanted to play laser tag on a recent rainy weekend. The only one near us in the East Bay is Boomers, where they have many activities - but the laser tag room is small, and therefore easily feels overcrowded. We decided to make the trek down to San Jose and we were so glad we did! The booking process online was easy, and we were called up right on time. The signs around the facility make it very easy to know where you're headed next (Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.) We booked 2 rounds, and I especially liked that we only waited maybe 10 minutes for our next round to start. The staff here were all friendly and professional. They run this place like a well-oiled machine. One tip - consider thinking of your player name before you arrive. You get to pick a fun nickname that will appear on your vest and also the leaderboard and your score sheet. It will be announced to the group. Pick a good one As other reviews have said, I do wish they sold food, even snacks like chips and granola bars. We ended up buying some at Rite Aid and eating them out front while waiting for our turn - but would've loved to support LaserMaxx with our purchase! read more

Amazing kids fun place, play the laser shooting with friends and the people working is super nice & friendly. read more

My child really likes this gameI will bring my child here many times . Maybe birthday my son i will be celebrated here

Had my birthday party here recently, and it was so nostalgic because it looks identical to my birthday party here 8 years ago when it was Laser Quest. Vinny was the best! So helpful, enthusiastic, and friendly, and his great energy really elevated our experience! Omar however was quite the opposite, very unprofessional and unfriendly. He didn't read the rules before we went in, so there were a lot of young kids running. He also started the game as soon as we entered into the gear room, so the game had already begun while we were still trying to exchange vests with a group that took ours on accident. We brought this to his attention and he was rude and ignored us. Wish we could've gotten to play the full game. Such a polar experience between the two employees. We will likely be back and hopefully Vinny will be working then! read more

My son, grandson, and nephews thoroughly enjoyed a fun laser tag session. Prior to the session, the children were playing a game that lacked available credits, at which point one of the staff members noticed and generously credited a few games for them. The staff consistently demonstrated a friendly and professional demeanor. The briefing and playing phases effectively alleviated any nervousness among first-time players, making them feel at ease. The facility is spacious, the laser tag guns functioned well, and the staff efficiently distributed scorecards and ranking status. read more

I had so much fun here! This is a fun outing with friends or for date night. The staff were very courteous and helpful and the location is very clean. Special call out to Brutus aka the Cleaner. Two thumbs up. read more

One of the best lasertag places I have ever been to. Next time I am in San Jose it will be on my list to visit.

Just had my son's 9th birthday party here and would hands down do a party here again! All of the kids had a blast and the timing of the party was perfect. Perfect play time and down time. As soon as we arrived, check-in was such a breeze because we had 99% of our party do the waivers before hand. So would highly recommend for you to circulate the waiver link and send reminders. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. They immediately took things that needed to be refrigerated and had our party cart ready to place gifts and things to go in the room. All that we had to bring were a fee extra drinks, waters and snacks. Otherwise the food was the perfect amount. Pizza was from dominoes and the slices were a good size. And each kid had just about two slices (some more, some less). And all the refrigerated items were in the room at the right time when the 2nd session ended. Follow all the tips of the staff and plan for the max number because they only charge you for who shows up if you pay for any extra players after the base price. And it was great that they called me a few days before the party to give me details, answer questions, and take the pizza order. Can't sing enough praises for this place! read more

We booked The Maxximum birthday package for my son's 13th birthday and it was a great experience. I booked it online and staff contacted me a few days before the event to confirm details and finalize the pizza order. It is not easy handing a group of 12 and 13 year old boys, but party process and the staff at LaserMaxx are very organized. From the front check-in service to the party host, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Before the party, I was a bit stressed about having a large kids part, but the staff made the event almost stress free for us parent hosts. I'm glad we picked this place for the party. read more

I loved it! I hosted a birthday party here and it was amazing. You should really come here. read more

We have my Twin daughters 12th birthday party there and it was a ton of fun! Easy to book online for the party package. We got the Maxximum package that had 2 games of laser tag, one hour in a party room after with pizza and ice cream cake. Also got 80 credit arcade game card to play for the birthday girls. The pizza was good and everyone got 2 slices each with a drink of choice. They loved the lasertags games and had a break between games. The staff were super nice and let us take a tour of the 2 story facility and its 10,000 sq feet! Kids loved the scorecards and seeing how they were scoring. The location was clean and everything was super organized and stayed on time. I highly recommend! read more

Customer service was great, the atmosphere of the venue and offered games was just why was needed for a day away from the office.

Came here for a birthday party right when they open. Plenty of parking in that plaza. Staff were nice and the process was organized. In between rounds, they have an arcade to keep the kids occupied. They had three party rooms as well for pizza and treats. Kids had a blast and they get a scorecard at the end of each round and where they ranked. read more

The leader for our laser tag Isiah kept yelling at our kids! He threw papers at our face of our rankings because he was mad at us for laughing. He also was very mad because he was working since 9 which is a him problem that he should fix. Don't come here unless u want to be yelled at and hit with papers. Never coming back again! read more

By far the best birthday party experience and at a good price. After last years birthday Party at Rock n Jump being such a mess & the rudest service ever, I was worried. But lasermaxx was a great experience all the way around. The staff is helpful, easy to work with and versatile. Lasermaxx exceeded my expectations and left a lasting impression. read more

I usually do not leave reviews but this is an experience I cannot forget. The marshal Iasiah was being very rude and handing papers very quickly and forcefully and kept yelling at our kids. I wish to never return to lasermaxx San Jose. read more

We had a Laser BLAST at Lasermaxx. Our family and I celebrated our son's 13th Birthday and the entire process from beginning to end went seamless! Jason, the manager, was very accommodating and so helpful! Jason answered my many questions and described the process which helped me understand the set up and take down process. Jason's staff was very attentive and helpful. Thanks Mikayla. (Sorry if I misspelled your name). The facilities are clean and the rooms are nicely themed. The gaming area has a nice vibe. Inside the lasertag gaming area has neon signage and ramps which are well painted and clear to see. Our 1st time guests had a great experience that they will bring their friends and family next time. Thanks Again. read more

What an exciting place! Everyone was friendly and helpful, everything went like clockwork. Everything was so clean and tidy. My nephew was the most amazing time for his birthday. I will be coming back again read more

We just had a private birthday party here for my 10 year old daughter and it was AWESOME! It was so easy to book online and the staff called to confirm it. I love the flexibility they give in bringing your own food and drinks except for pizza. If you order their pizza, it's a reasonable price too! The schedule for the private party is great. You check-in 20 minutes before your game time and then you get a 15 minute game, come back out to see your scores, rest, then back in for another game. You can either choose to play free for all or random teams. I highly recommend the private party vs playing with the public because there are some jerks out there. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I asked them to lock our party room since I wanted to leave my purse and also there were a lot of presents inside. Later, we hung some jackets on the door knob since it was locked and I noticed that they placed them inside for us. My 14 year old nephew says this is the best maze he's played in. The other ones he's tried do not have 2 floors. I wish this place was closer to Cupertino but that's my only gripe Highly recommend! read more

The best ever They were helpful and it was lots of fun The maze was cool but it was a little hard read more

Super busy on Saturday but that was to be expected. Make sure you call for reservations. Kathy at the from desk was amazing and helped make the trip a blast for our boys! read more

Took my son there for a bday party and the host mentioned that one of the kids her son invited pulled a no-show last min and that if I wanted to participate w/ the kids I could. Well, duh!! Of course I'm gonna my commando on and teach these little groms a lesson....which I absolutely did. The battle area has a great layout with multiple levels are sneaky spots to snipe from. If you wanna shoot someone without going to jail, give it a try. read more

Staff like Kathy and LaserMaxx is good staff to have because she started off there years ago when it was previously LaserQuest. She was very knowledgeable and very considerate and has great customer service. The facility was immaculately clean from the entrance way, the waiting room, the arcade area, bathrooms, the laserroom, and the party room. They kept our perishables cold in their industrial fridge until after the games. Andy was really good with tending to us as the marshal. They even provide plates, napkins, and forks. We even forgot our candles and lighter and they came to the rescue with that! The party rooms were themes and painted very cool! And that's what it's about! Thank you Mgr Alex and staff at LaserMaxx for making our son's 12th birthday a rad one. We will be visiting more, even us Adult kids! read more

My daughter and her friends had a blast at laser tag for her birthday. The staff were helpful and engaging. The arcade area is small but has some great games that held the kids' attention. There's some downtime at the beginning while you wait for your party to arrive and get checked in which is unavoidable. But be prepared to keep the kids entertained for a bit in the lobby before your game time. read more

We had my son's 12th birthday in a private party here last week, and it was an absolute blast! All the grownups joined in, so we had ages 8 to 52 in the mix; we played one free-for-all session and one randomly-assigned teams session, both of which were high-adrenaline fun (and we loved that the printout you get at the end tells you who tagged you the most, who you tagged the most, etc.). The staff were great to work with -- Jason, at the front desk, was incredibly helpful and kind, and Jesse, our Game Marshal, was as well. They seemed to love their jobs and did everything they could to make the party a success. Everything went seamlessly, from the booking to the room breakdown at the end -- I could not recommend this place more! read more

Kids always want more of this place! You will enjoy sweating while having fun with your team!

This place is so awesome! Great laser tag arena, which is super fun and a decent arcade area for those who wait or for you to play afterward. Super nice management and absolutely amazing customer service! read more

My daughter went here yesterday to attend a birthday party. She is 10. Her shoulders are red and the left side has a bruise the size of a baseball. At least one other party goers of the same age complained of similar injuries sustained from wearing the vests they provide. We haven't had a chance to talk to all of them. There was no mention of anything to any of the parents about wearing clothing that protects their shoulders or that they cause discomfort and leave wounds and bruises. I'm sure this happens to all the younger aged children and the fact that they don't communicate or convey the risk is inexcusable. read more

LaserMaxx - Injury - Laser Tag Near Me - San Jose, California

Playing the laser tag game in a diverse crowd of 10-to-60 year olds was a lot of fun. I did not realize my sweet daughter was a sharpshooter! She made it to the first place. I also got my primal instincts revved up. In general, the staff are very friendly and not very formal. They also got a new equipment that is lightweight and well functioning. Highly recommend it as a family fun event. Maybe corporate fun too, although I did not try it in that context. read more

Came with my 5 year old for a birthday party. She was pretty nervous because it looked too intimidating. But the staff, specifically the young man that worked today, was so patient and understanding. She eventually warmed up when we went into the birthday room (which was spacious for about 20-25 max, 15 is comfortable) I got to actually play laser tag for only a few minutes so i cant really say too much other than the layout was really fun, and with the black lights and smog the environment was really fun. I wish i could have played longer but i wasn't going to push it with my daughter. Because the staff was so nice, i will not give them 4 stars for the fact that the arcade area was small and limited for game options. Overall, if our kids want a laser tag party we would put lasermaxx at the top of the list as an option. read more

excellent experience for team build They are flexible too. We arrived late due to delay lunch, they arranged the schedule read more

Had my son's birthday here recently and it was a great experience all around! Easy online booking for the party package. The party room was spacious, had plenty of seating, and nicely designed so we didn't need to spend time decorating other than bring in balloons. They kindly held our cake and drinks in their fridge which was super convenient. The kids had a blast for their two rounds of laser tag. It was a successful celebration and everything went off without a hitch thanks to the WONDERFUL staff members here! 100/10 recommend! read more

Fun and exciting, but if you're going bring kids under 8 years, the vests are big and painful for little shoulders. Be sure to put a sweater on them to avoid skin irritation and bruising. Wish they sold food! read more

Same staff, and same place but with a different branding. The laser tag vests were improved and they have power ups to go with the same map! That's a pretty cool thing to add, but now prices went up a couple of dollars and they even removed the monthly pass. Please add that back and I might bump it up to 5 stars read more

I came in with a big group and had a wonderful time!!! José was particularly helpful and really kind to us, and really made our experience special.
