Charleston Rush

Took my son for laser tag… what a rip off! It’s $ 19.42 (with tax) for 20 minutes, granted, the website does say for a 20 minute game. However, the vests didn’t operate as described so we had to stop about a third of the way through to get them checked. Also, my son slipped and fell in a puddle of water. All in all, a good portion of our time wasn’t spent playing. We were the only 2 playing and there was no one waiting. We weren’t offered any additional time or voucher or refund or anything. Overall very disappointed with the experience

The later tag was great– very new and good condition! Would highly recommend — but the games/​arcade were terrible– most were broken– some
Took your money and never worked and most didn’t even give you your tickets .
The staff was nice
I would recommend only for the laser tag

Very disappointing. I come to Charleston frequently to visit my son who attends The Citadel. He wanted to go to a go kart track and possibly take up a few laser tag sessions. When we arrived, he immediately noticed the tiny indoor track. I convinced him to hang out a few minutes and play a couple of arcade games and watch the next go kart session. We ended up leaving and going out to Blackbeard’s Cove. I’m quite surprised that Charleston Rush is actually still operating.

First let me start off by saying I have not gone yet, but my girlfriend has and she cannot stop raving! All I am seeing are really old reviews but none from after they apparently (based on management feedback) did a face-​lift and hired a new GM. I am buying a Groupon now because of how awesome my friend said this place was and if it lives up to her raving I will happily post a CURRENT review :)

The go carts are not worth what you pay. We had to pay $ 24 a person to race carts that were horrible. I’ve been to many go cart tracks and this was by far the worst. Waste of money!

Well, nothing here was really bad, but there are better options out there if you want to ride go-​carts, or play arcade games. Granted, I didn’t ride the 50+mph (or whatever) carts (if they are different from the indoor carts, that is), but everything indoors was sub-​par. The carts and track is very cramped, the games are all ok, and the food is all frozen. We went for a birthday party, and for the sake of my kid having a good time with everyone, and the fact that I haven’t yet seen these elusive 50+mph go-​carts, this one sits at the 1 to 2 star rating.

Flat out terrible.Smh. 60% of their games either didn’t work, or simply took your money. The games are dated, Sega Genesis dated. The air hockey table’s puck dies at half court. Outside of all of that, their bathrooms were out of service, and my nephew couldn’t hold it any longer after waiting for over an hr. I asked for a refund, and they refused me. Gave me 2 free passes, lol. As if I’d ever go back. #sucks

I went mostly for the laser tag and I must say that it was a very fun experience that did not disappoint me considering the fact that is was my first time playing laser tag. And it was fun, impressive, and the maze is large. As for the Go-​Karts I must admit that the track too small therefore we didn’t even bother. I feel they should either have the arcade with the pool and air hockey tables or the track but there just isn’t enough space for both… nor is it necessary. The arcade with pool and air hockey tables would have sufficed. My opinion of course. Other than that I do see myself going back!

Sad place for 50mph go karts… I mean 15mph go karts on a roller skating rink. Get rid of the games and build a real track and ill gladly spend money with y’all. Drive 1.5 hrs to Carolina Motorsports outside of Columbia.

Had a great time with all the kids here. Good for all ages. The best lazer tag in the Charleston area. Go carts go extremely fast. Good place to gather with the kids or with adults.

Good concept … bad execution. I can only say I hope they improve. The track is sooo small and for 2 people to ride once it was 44 dollars. We waited 45 mins and there were still 4 people ahead of us so we decided to get our money back. The carts do not go the 45 – 50 miles as advertised at least from what we could tell, and staff apent more time screwing around in between «races» than what paying customers got to ride. I was very disappointed to say the least and I hope they improve cause its a great concept. None of the video games were working and their snack bar wasn’t open. Looking at the website it is a very unrealistic version of what we got when we arrived. O would definitely give it a little while to maybe get up and going before going.
In response to Jeff, while I understand you may have been having a soft opening, your website was far from showing that. Looking at the website, it showed a fully functioning location and never mentioned that you weren’t officially opened. Perhaps you should make sure your website is showing accurate information before you have more aggravated people. Had we of know you were just doing a «soft» opening we would have definitely waited until you were fully up and running to even try coming.
