Red Zone Adventures

I went on a Saturday late afternoon for the Jr. Unlimited laser tag. When we purchased our wrist bands the staff told us that they will call over head for our color when it’s our turn. And it will alternate between our color green and pink. Well we were there for 2 hours and we only played for 20 minutes. One of our playing sessions was also cut short because other people did not put away the equipment away right and the gentleman who was in charge of the laser tag said that he had to take extra time to fix all the equipment so he deduction time away from our playing. In my opinion that is not right. I went to a manager and expressed my concerns and she was very nice. She allowed me and my boyfriend go play during another colors turn. I probably will not go back. It was really pricey for the amount of time you get to play. The only reason I gave them 3 stars was because the manager handled our complaints well and let us play for extra time. Otherwise I was going to give them 2 stars.

Redzone is a great place to bring the kids. Laser tag, laser maze, arcade games, and more. And if you are having a birthday party they are one of the best!

Interesting to read the other reviews.
Came here for a ~50-​person work holiday party (age range of low 20’s to maybe upper 30’s?) with a large group on a Friday. They split us up into 4 teams and we had a round robin on the most basic shoot/​reset mode. Hadn’t played in a long time and we had a few first-​timers, so the format worked well. They do have options to have to recharge your gun, CTF, base-​destroy, etc. if you ask for it.
The lasertag arena itself was really good. Better than shadowlands in Columbia MD. Not as complex as Ultrazone’s old place in Raleigh, NC, but still setup really nicely and all electronics seemed to work well for me. Only one person described their laser gun not working.
Lazer-​maze was pretty cool and hadn’t ever done something like that before. 48 seconds on easy is not too terrible I guess.
Did not play any of the arcade games, but had typical stuff.
(From reading other reviews, lol) The soda machine worked on our visit.
Played black-​lighted ping pong, which was a new twist to the game for me. I liked it. I don’t think their sound system extends down in there as a group of us were lucky to finish the game in time to walk back and jump into the next laser tag game.
We had brought our own food in, which was no problem, and they had adequate seating for all of us and the layout was perfect for our needs.
I can see where some of the reviews say the staff kind of does their own thing behind the counter and is not overly attentive. Really only applied to us having to ask for more soda, otherwise they were running through the laser tag games pretty well, and the two girls manned the lazer-​maze for a bit. The red-​headed girl on staff (Payden?) kind of had an attitude like she didn’t like her job, but everyone else was really nice. The other girl on staff (Brianna?) was cute and had a really nice smile. The guy in charge (I assume he is an owner) was extremely awesome at customer service and attentiveness. The other two guys explained the game well and got us set up quickly.
Bottom Line — Whenever I one day get married and have kids way down the road, I’d definitely bring kids here for a birthday party. If work came back, I’d sign up again, despite the 40+ minute one-​way commute here with Baltimore Friday-​Rush Hour 695 traffic.

Not what I was expecting, when I went in it was a bit crazy and hectic as I expected since they were filled with kids, but that wasn’t my problem. The staff wasn’t really attentive, they were just sitting behind the counter on their phones and maybe one person helping and let’s say they’re were maybe 5 workers, making the line really long and disorganized.
Okay so I came in at 6, and bought 4 tickets for $ 20 each since they said that’s the only one available for some type of fundraiser, and so the staff told me to wait for a bit and they’ll call out all of the reds to play, and she also said at the time being you can go in any of the other places, which I was fine with, I mean let’s keep it real everything was pretty much dirty and most of the machine were broken down, some don’t even have a sign saying the machine is not working so I mean I kind of wasted a couple more dollars trying to get these to work.
So you know I’m just checking the time and 30 minutes go by, and I’m there wondering when are they going to call us? Like the lady told us it would take 10 minutes but when I asked around 6:15 they said not yet so I waited longer thinking oh okay thats fine, but then we just went up and now its 6:30−40 yeah the game started but for some reason I had 3 other people with me and no one really heard anyone calling. Other than that we joined the game at the last couple of minutes, which was okay since I had no clue what to do since the guy just told us to get a vest and go lol, I was pretty much confused for the first minute, but I’m not too sure $ 80 was worth it. Plus, not only that, I wish the worker could’ve told me to wait till 6:30 to pay for the pass, since the tickets were $ 15 at the time and $ 10 for college student which I am. But I thought we could play immediately right after we had bought it, but no we had to wait half an hour with just a couple minutes game. So that was my experience, yeah it was my first time so maybe I made a mistake not knowing everything I guess but I thought I could’ve went here for an hour to kill before I had to go somewhere else.

Where to start? My kids love it here. The laser tag and laser challenge and wonderful, if a little expensive. They do deals though, which helps. The place is a little drab and the cleanliness questionable, but the real issue is the service. I never had this problem in the past, but we’ve come in a few times the past few months and I’ve been quite disappointed. Not only are there rarely employees by the counter (where most businesses have people stationed at to help), but those around don’t seem to know what’s going on. My kids love the arcade, but the games break a lot. Recently, instead of having someone fix them, I’ve just been handed free tokens. Hey, no complaints from me, but that means the games don’t get fixed and my kids start the cycle all over again. For a mom of three, that can be exhausting. They just want the tickets they won– is that so hard? Cashing in the tickets has become problematic. I never see anyone behind the prize counter, and my daughter was too embarrassed to ask last time that she saved her tickets. That frustrates me. There was a woman there (the free token lady), but she wasn’t wearing a black shirt like the employees I’m used to and she actively ignored my child, who is shy and would not say anything. It used to be be employees were engaging and friendly, but not so much. As a mother, I’m trying to teach my children to be polite and respectful but situations like that make it very difficult. I suppose maybe they are understaffed or busy, but at least try to have someone who knows what they’re doing around. I find it harder and harder to come back, though my kids really enjoy the place. I used to love coming here for some easy family fun, but lately I’ve left feeling dissatisfied.

My children continue to have fun here. My older two enjoy the laser maze and laser tag. My youngest two children enjoy the games. There is a tv surrounded by chairs and soda that look comfortable, but I wouldn’t shout in them as I think about how many other children have say in them. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards. This is definitely a kid and germ friendly place.

This place is old, outdated, and dirty. The staff was not friendly and inattentive. Five of them stood behind the counter talking and playing with their phones while we waited for service. Their prices are reasonable, unlimited laser tag for $ 15 until 7pm on Saturday. The kids had fun. It’s very noisy, but that’s to be expected.

I’ve been to several parties @ Red Zone which were fine. My boys love it here though so we had my 9 year olds party here in February.
What I don’t like is it feels a little dingy. Like an overgrown arcade.
What I loved — where do I start?
I was able to pick a time and date online and reserve the whole party without playing phone tag.
The staff was wonderful. Our party host was incredibly helpful– which I greatly appreciated since I also had my 7 year old son and 1 yr old son with me. The baby was fussy and sleepy — which wasn’t an issue because our party host had it all under control.
We ordered extra food (which tasted great and was reasonably priced). The timing of the food arrival was delayed — so our party host juggled the schedule a bit and the boys had no idea. I didn’t think it was a huge deal that it was delayed but as a courtesy they comped our food order — which was a wonderful surprise since parties here are EXPENSIVE.
Our host made the day. I’d gladly have another party here for any of my boys.

This place is great for kids of all ages. We just played our first round and I came out full of holes. The ankle bitters chased me and before I could get a shot off they had me.
Dylan and his friends are having a blast. This place sells out fast so you should call in advance if you want to get in. This is a great place for parties

Don’t recommend this place to anyone service was terrible, the out source there food I had to wait 45mins to get a pizza, small play area for kids an half the games worked!!!

My expectations were underwhelmed and my senses were overwhelmed. The place is dingy, drab and exceedingly noisy. The place might look dirty even if it was clean because of the worn paint on the floors, but you know it’s not clean because of the smell of sweat that hits you when you walk in.
There is nothing inviting about the place outside of the laser themed areas, the walls are just bomb shelter beige with little effort to add anything of interest. There’s a big TV and viewing area with couches that’s probably a meeting spot or place for adults to wait for their kids, etc., The couches weren’t ratty, but looked like they could use a good cleaning. The games themselves were run-​of-​the-​mill ticket spouters.
To me, the biggest sin this place commits is having a room full of noisy games accompanied by squealing children playing those games all in a place with concrete floors and walls and absolutely no sound absorbers. I don’t expect a place like that to be library-​quiet, I expect lots of noise, but without carpet or wall drapes of some sort, it’s just an assault on your ears.
The snack bar was closed when I was there, but I was unlikely to try anything given the level of cleanliness of the rest of the place, but can’t comment otherwise.
As for the main attraction, the laser tag, that was pretty good as laser tag goes. It doesn’t have an observation deck, which is the only negative I found about the area. Otherwise the layout was complex, but not confusing. As far as I could tell, the targets and guns worked well and were accurate shooters. Looking closely at the vests in the staging room revealed that they were well-​worn, but functional and could also use a good steam-​cleaning. But overall, the laser tag was a good experience.
The party areas looked pretty cramped and utilitarian, hope you remembered decorations, because they are pretty joyless.

Your typical arcade, not a whole lot of game options, but perfect for kids trying to get out of the house. Be prepared to spend some money on tokens, food, lazer tag, etc.
Not the cleanest facility or the friendliest staff.
Head to Dave and Buster’s if at all possible.

Upon arriving today, about 60% of all machines were marked out of order (ATM, token dispenser, soda machine, and various arcade games). As our time there progressed, another 5 or so games got marked out of order as well. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They all seemed very young and there was no «manager» present so I’m sure this is why the arcade was such a mess – that wasn’t really their fault. Despite the disorder or many of the arcade games, I tried to amuse my 2 two old with the functioning ones only to notice that the «in order» machines were taking token and not dispensing tickets when they were supposed to. My husband and I tried the laser maze which was fun. My sons (ages 6 and 9) really enjoyed the laser tag arena. They didn’t spend much time in the arcade because of the above mentioned reasons. They also ran out of pizza (which apparently they order from some other pizza place and resell at inflated prices lol) which prompted us to rush out after getting full use of our Groupons. The prices are actually very reasonable and the weekday specials and Groupons are even better, but I will be happy when the day comes that I can simply drop them off for a couple of hours and pick them up later. Outside of laser tag, this place has nothing to offer.

I picked up a groupon for this place a little while back as my younger daughter loved the laser maze we went to out in CA. The place itself is pretty large, with lots of room. There are some tables you can eat at or read a book while your kids play arcade games, the laser maze, or the laser tag. There is also a large TV and a bunch of couches setup for adults to watch the game on! Really nice touch! I gave the laser tag a go as we had several rounds included with the groupon. (side note — we had several groupons, and there was no trouble at all using them all at the same time. NICE! Some places are funny about that) The maze was two level, well laid out with lots of hiding/​cover spots, and the equipment was *excellent*. The laser even has a sight where you can see where you are shooting — really handy. Cool background music, and a good amount of time to play. The laser maze was easy to understand, yet can be really challenging depending on what difficulty you select. The staff was personable and friendly. The bathrooms and whole facility were clean and well maintained. There is a floor based game when you first walk in that is REALLY fun (and happened to be on free play that night, thanks RZ!) with a bunch of different game modes. (dodgeball/​bug spot/​etc) We will be back soon!

I bought a Groupon for my kids this summer. They had a good time but I have to tell you as an adult, I walked out of there feeling like I needed a big shot of penicillin. Could have used a thorough cleaning…

We liked this place. We played laser tag, glow in the dark putt putt golf, did a laser maze, and played some arcade games. Most ofthe games give you tickets which you can redeem for candy and prizes. They even had a symbol that prints on some tickets which lets you go in a machine that blows tickets all around, like a money machine. We didn’t get any of those tickets though. I wonder if its rare to find one or is it like one a day. You can pay for everything seperate or you can buy special packages.

Grandson’s birthday always is an adventure so what better place to celebrate than Red Zone Adventures. When we arrived we were escorted to one of the birthday rooms. You could bring in your own cake, snacks and balloons. Outside drinks except for water are really not allowed. It doesn’t really matter because pizza and sodas for the party are included as well as all the paper products and covers for the tables. There are several tables set up in the room and enough for all the kids and an extra one for the gifts. There was a counter for the food. The staff was extremely young and full of energy. I believe this must be one of the considerations when hiring as the place is full of kids and it is very loud.
The schedule was posted on the wall of the room so everyone knew how our time was going to be spent. We first went to the lazer maze. The kids had to maneuver around the laser hit some buttons and get out of the room. All this was done in the dark. Parents could watch from outside on a tv screen. Great start.
Next we went and played miniature golf in the dark. Lots of black lights making the holes shine and all our clothes light up. It was very organized and the kids were escorted through the course. We had a special staff member that explained all the games to the kids and stayed with them throughout the party.
After playing golf the kids went to the party room and and had pizza and soda. The pizza was typical pizza brought in from a local pizza parlor. It was not very good but the kids ate it and there was plenty of pepperoni pieces and cheese only for them to select. They had pitchers of different kinds of soda also. The cake was cut and presents were opened. Mario was the theme and my daughter had some goodie boxes for the kids.
Next on our schedule was lazer tag. This is what they had been waiting for. They played against several other teams after suiting up. The directions had been carefully explained to them before the game began. You get points for hitting the other person and of course you need to try and not get hit. Simple enough. The only complaint I have was there was not place to watch. No screen you could see the game on either. You just had to wait till the game was over and scores were announced. It would have been nice to have an area somewhere set aside for parents to watch. There is a large area in the lobby with nice soft couches for parents and kids to sit. A big screen tv is there playing cartoons also so you could wait there. There were also tables and chairs around and there was a counter serving food and drinks that you could purchase if you wanted.
The last thing on our schedule was the tokens to play all the games in the lobby and other areas. All the party goers got tokens and started playing the games they wanted. Sort of like a Chuckee Cheese kinda thing. Then of course they can ask for more money from parents to keep playing when the tokens run out. Tickets are then redeemed for snap bracelets, toys, etc. You know the junk that will be in the trashcan in just a short time! But they loved it!
All in all it was a great experience. I have no idea of the cost for the party but there is information on their website. The kids came out of the place happy and that is all that matters. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was well organized and safe for them. The staff was helpful and kept the party moving. My grandson had a great birthday party with family and friends and that was what was important to me. Seeing smiles on all the kids’ faces and hearing them laugh makes me smile!
PS– Be warned if you don’t like LOUD noises and kids running around having a good time you don’t belong in this place!
