Laser Tag Birthday Parties

Book the best birthday party ever!

Oxfordshire’s Premier Outdoor Adventure Birthday Party Provider

The UK’s No.1 Outdoor Lasergaming Venue! Lasergaming have been hosting premier outdoor Laser Tag Birthday parties in Oxford since 2002, to over 100,000 players, in fact we were the first EVER outdoor laser tag venue in the UK, so we know what makes the most Awesome Birthday Party on the planet!  Our Birthday parties are Hassle free, we take care of everything and most importantly we make sure your party is a huge success!

Birthdays are precious times to parents and children so we know how important it is that your event is not only amazing but creates memories that you look upon fondly in years to come.  Organising a birthday party can be super stressful  and Children these days have very high expectations when it comes to Birthday Parties.

With so many interactive devices these days such as  XBox’s, PS4’s, Ipad’s and interactive consoles, when it comes to Birthday parties, kids expectations for their own birthday party experience is way higher than it used to be.  Indoor laser tag/quest in a small darkened room with cardboard tanks and flashing lights just doesn’t cut it anymore,  bowling and karting are just not exciting enough, The want something that is hi-tec, adrenalin pumped, interactive and fun

Well we have the solution – Our Lasergaming Birthday parties are the ULTIMATE, authentic live combat gaming experiences where the players are part of the game.  Our on site Battlefield is purpose built for Birthday parties for Boys and Girls, providing fun and fresh air, drawing players into a stunning realistic combat adventure with real life movie props.

We use the latest sophisticated gaming technology and only the very best equipment which has been used at the Divergent movie premier in London, Gadget Show Live, Top gear LIVE and is also used in over 350 sites worldwide

How does it work?

  • Lasergaming uses S.A.T.R 2.0 and 3.0 Digital gaming guns.  These guns use a harmless infrared beam, like a tv remote control to send messages to and from targets up to 100m away.
  • Each player has sensors on their gaming gun and their headbands, when a player hits one of these infrared sensors, the gun and radio antenna relays the information and stats in real time back to the players gun, registering a hit or kill.
  • If you hit the mark, the player will see a flashing red dot, and just like a computer game you get all the stats in real time and receive feedback on your play form your own gun.

Why choose Lasergaming?

  • We are good at what we do and are experienced in making Birthday Parties amazing and memorable, no 2 parties are the same.  We’ve had over 100,000 players play over the years so we love what we do! Our focus is on Player experience and the Birthday VIP having the best day ever, guests will be talking about your event for weeks.
  • We know the VIP (Birthday boy or girl) is the most important person in the group and we make sure our games and missions are in theme with the celebrations.  The VIP also receives a free personalised Dogtag as a memento of their special day.
  • We love wowing our customers and guests! We specialise in immersive LIVE combat gaming scenarios with a military theme – by Theme, we don’t mean a bit of camo net here and there and some MDF painted green and black, we mean REAL Helicopters, REAL armored personnel carriers, REAL military snatch land rovers, REAL buses and Real Hesco buildings! You won’t find any cardboard tanks or Chipboard buildings at Lasergaming, I mean how often do kids get to play in real helicopters as part of their birthday party!!!
  • We have multiple gaming zones themed for different missions, with different objectives, with different terrains, so rather than just staying in one small area for the whole session, we use different areas of our woodland.  Our missions have an objective and the team need to meet the objective.  Players move from zone to zone making the experience more exciting and more like a computer game or movie but this time you are in it!
  • Lasergaming is a TEAM game, not an individual game.  In our parties rather than the boring old deathmatch and shootouts for 20 minutes, we run fun and exciting missions where all the party are involved and work together as a team battling against another team.  Team strategy and tactics are required and everyone has a role.
  • We have 8 different gaming guns! Something for everyone.  One size doesn’t fit all and there are many roles within the team for each mission.  Our gaming guns are top-of-the-range Battlefield Sports S.A.T.R digital gaming guns, built tough, with realistic sound effects, realistic weights, and real red dot scopes for an authentic combat experience!  Battlefield Sports have supplied equipment to Call of Duty for their game launches, the divergent movie premier and even Top Gear with clarkson V stig.
  • In-game player stats – No Awful HUMILIATION printouts ranking players from good to worst! If you are the parent of the birthday child the last thing you want is the Birthday girl or boy to come last at their own party! With Lasergaming Each player can see their own in-game player stats updated in real-time on their own gaming gun during the mission games, no more waiting for the end of the session to see how you’re doing.  Our awesome missions are not based on individual scores, you’re scored as a team, so the focus is on team effort rather than individuals.
  • We book our parties in age ranges that work well together and that are appropriate for their ages.  We know how worrying it is for our birthday parents when they think their children will be playing against other players who are much older or adults. We group our 9th, 10th and 11th birthdays together and then our 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th birthday parties together, so we keep the groups to a similar age, so no risk of your kids playing with a bunch of rowdy lads on a stag do or a group of adults socialising.  At Lasergaming a child’s party is a child’s party.
  • We have over 1000 different missions to choose from, which means we have a lot of fun at our birthday parties, we don’t just stick to the boring preset capture the flag and base assault games, we base our missions and games on the latest most popular games and movies out there and also themed on your celebration.  Our experienced staff can change up the games and missions, in-game, making each experience awesome and our Birthday missions are so much fun and are what keeps our customers coming back year on year!
  • We provide Hassle-free, Healthy, outdoor gaming events for Girls and Boys of all ages and all physical capabilities, we take care of everything, providing you with  Commanding officers to take care of the groups, we run the most up to date missions, we can even arrange at an additional cost – personalised dog tags for each player for the medal ceremony.
  • We only use the very latest and BEST laser tag equipment on the planet! we use Battlefield Sports Equipment with the latest SATR 2.0 technology ensuring our players get the very best player experience available in the UK.  Our guns give Live feedback to the player and tell players when they have made a hit or received a hit, no more guessing if you have made the shot on target!
  • There is no Paint or projectile involved, no masks needed, no pain, no bruises, no Lasers, just safe infra red that is used in your remote control at home.  No need to worry about being covered in bruises the next day.
  • No additional ammo or paint costs, the price you pay is all-inclusive.  No hidden costs on the day and no asking your guests to bring extra money to play.
  • We have in-game player perks in our missions featured in all the latest computer games where they can boost their health points, change weapons, boost armour etc.
  • Our sessions are all-weather events, so take place in sun, rain, and sleet!  We are a wet weather provider and work off the motto there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing and besides who doesn’t like being childlike, getting wet and muddy, and having fun!
  • We are one of the best when it comes to combat gaming experiences, DIVERGENT movie thought so – they chose us for their London Leicester square premier of the movie
  • We have over 100 gaming guns at Lasergaming which means we can cater for those huge Birthday battles so everyone can play at the same time.  No more having to take turns.

  • Party Information FAQ

    We know how stressful booking a party can be and we hope to answer all your questions before you book your party with us. Below are a collection of questions other parents have asked in the hope this can be of help to future parents booking their parties with us.

    Do the children play on their own as a group or are they playing against others?

    With the exception of the Exclusive use option, your group will likely to be playing against others. We have 80 gaming guns at Lasergaming Oxford, and it is very likely that most of these guns will be being used during each session and teams play against others. We normally have 2 – 4 parties running at the same time so unless your booking is for Exclusive use then there it is very likely there will always be another group playing at the same time. These groups are all different sizes but will match the age range you have booked into so will compliment each other. It is important that the games and missions are suitable for the age of players in the party so we group parties in age ranges to ensure the best possible player experience. We NEVER book children with adults or book young children with older children.

    Your group will stay together as a party regardless of how many players you have and your child will lead their team. We NEVER split children up and put them with other parties, you stay with the group you came with. Sometimes in games we will pair and combine parties up but nobody is asked to leave the party they came with. There may be occasions where you are the only group booked in, if this happens then your team will be split into 2 and will battle each other. If your booking is for 25 players or more you will have exclusive use of the Battlefield for your group and there will be no other groups playing.

    What covid measures are in place / what is the party structure for 2023 parties?

    As above on our Birthday party page, In line with risk assessments to safeguard our visitors, guests staff, and other site users, the following rules will remain in place for all sessions in 2023. Our parties offer Lasergaming only, We do not currently offer any food options with the party so the sessions are Lasergaming only. There are a number of parks and restaurants/take-outs in Abingdon town centre – 2 miles away.

    We are able to offer 15 minutes at the end of the party for you to do a birthday cake in our birthday cake area for players and guests of your party.  This area is not sheltered and consists of picnic benches outdoors.  Other players and birthday parents will also be in this same area. You can bring your own food and you will also need to bring your own cups, refreshments, plates, napkins etc  We will also ask you to take all your rubbish home with you.  The maximum time allowed in the birthday cake area is 15 minutes and after this time, our staff will escort you to the car park for departure. 

    Any parents waiting during the party will be asked to wait in a designated area, they must not walk around the woodland or enter zones. Parents are also welcome to wait in their cars in the car park whilst the party is in progress.

    On arrival, all players must wait near their cars until we have checked you in.  We have to check in each child individually so we need to make sure this is done efficiently to prevent delays.

    We recommend all present/gift/card transfers be done in the car park and are handed directly to the birthday parents.

    Online Waivers are required for each player to take part, these are online waivers and will need to be completed by the parents 24hrs before the party session.

    All party guests MUST be present at the party start time. We cannot accommodate late arrivals in any circumstances, once our team have left the car park to start the session, we can not admit any latecomers to your party.

    We will not be issuing flaks, vests or any other team ID other than headbands at this time.

    The Birthday session structure is 30 mins safety brief and mission brief, 1.5hr lasergaming, so 2 hours in total and then 15 mins at the end in the birthday area, if required. When the games finish if all parents have consented we will take a team photograph and escort the party group to the birthday area for 15 minutes and then afterwards back to the car park for departure.

    All party guests must leave the site promptly once the session has finished, there are no further facilities for picnics, gatherings, or birthday cake celebrations around our site, in the car park or around the Culham No1 Site.

Once the 15 minutes is up, we will escort you and your group/guests down to the car park for pick up and departure. The next group will be waiting in the car park and we will need time to be able to clean the areas before bringing them up to the same area where they will be having their safety briefing

    Can I bring the dog? I am afraid not, we have a heronry on-site so no dogs are allowed.

    Can we picnic in the car park after the session? No, I am afraid not, it is a private site and we have multiple session start times, please see the essential booking info pack for more information.

    As per our booking terms and conditions, we do not refund any sessions or any places due to Covid, self isolation, illness, severe illness or testing positive.

How is the 2hr session spent?

We ask your Party to arrive 10 minutes before the party time so we can conduct the necessary checks. At your party start time, you will be escorted up to the woodland by our team, . Please note - that we can NOT accommodate LATE arrivals under any circumstances, all players must be present for the party start time. The players will begin their 30 Minute safety briefing and Kit up and will be kitted out with team Id Headbands. These are used for Team Id. They will then go for weapon selection, we have 8 different gaming guns, ranging in weight and features. As soon as everyone is ready we will enter the battlefield for Mission Briefing.

After the first missions are completed the next missions will begin and this awesome game play continues until the last 5-10 minutes of the session, where they will return to de-kit. Don’t worry just before they de-kit we will group everyone together for Team photographs near the helicopter or the APC if consent has been given by all parents. If you have permission from all the parents, you can also take a photograph at this time too. Once the team has de-kitted and the final debrief completed, we will take all the players to the birthday cake area for 15 minutes and then escort you down to the car park for pick up.

We do not offer any food options at present.

What food options are there?

We do not currently have any food options available on site. The nearest town is 2 miles away - Abingdon and has many parks, restaurants and take aways for after party celebrations. Please note we do not allow any food to be delivered to our site.

Do you need a waiver or consent form to play?

Yes, all players must have a signed online waiver form to play. Under 18’s signed by their parents, over 18’s by themselves.

After you have booked, you will be sent an email from us with your own personal links for your forms specific to your party, to issue the guests. Please send them the links and do not use any other links from any previous sessions as they will be invalid. We will also provide you with a tracking link to see who has filled the forms out and who has not. We recommend all forms are completed 24hrs , before your party. NO FORM – NO PLAY. If your guests highlight a medical condition, they must provide details before the day, for example, if they have ticked back injury, they must provide details on the nature of the injury, how long ago etc. In order to play Lasergaming all players must be able to safely negotiate their way around our woodland and gaming zones and be able to hold their gaming gun unassisted throughout the duration of the gaming. They must be free from serious injury including sprains, hair line fractures, broken bones, casts and dislocations. In the event a medical condition or injury prevents this then we may need to check suitability of the activity. Please email us at lasergaming@oxfordadventurepark.com so we can advise on this.

With good preparation and management of the session, it is not very often players can not take part, it is better to email us and check beforehand if there is anything you are unsure about so we can make preparations for that particular player, conduct the necessary risk assessments and check suitability in line with our company policies rather than them turn up on the day, and they can not take part due lack of time for preparation for medical conditions and injuries. If any player, adult or child ticks the Asthma Box, they must have a inhaler with them to take part. We can not allow players to take part without their medication to treat them in the event it is needed, this is an insurance requirement.

Please note we can not allow players with broken bones in casts to take part or any players with any type of finger braces or foot braces.

Can I play if I am pregnant?

We do not recommend particpants who are pregnant take part in Lasergaming. Lasergaming is an outdoor adventure activity and involves a lot of physical activity and exertion. Furthermore, there is a risk of collision with other players, their guns, obstacles and props in the gaming zones that may cause injury in addition to other risks. Staff at LASERGAMING AND HIGH ROPES LTD are NOT qualified medical professionals and cannot deem the activities suitable or unsuitable or deem a participant fit or unfit to take part in our activities on site.

What ages can you take from?

We can take bookings for children celebrating 9th, 10th, 11th etc birthdays and can take guests from the age of 8 to adult, we DO NOT allow under 8’s to play, with the exception of exclusive use.

If your child is celebrating an 8th Birthday, the only option available to book is Exclusive use, please do not book a party for 9th birthdays onwards. 7 year olds are only allowed to participate in a exclusive use party if they are a minimum size of 122cm and can use a laser gun unaided in a woodland environment.

It is only when they are celebrating a 9th birthday that they can be mixed in our general public sessions. Please note we also can not cater for young siblings under 7 under any circumstances, so that means no 5 or 6 year olds even if they are tall for their age!

What Food is included?

We do not currently have any food options available on site. The nearest town is 2 miles away - Abingdon and has many parks, restaurants and take aways for after party celebrations.

Parents and guests are welcome to stay on site during the party, there are designated areas in the woodland that you wait but you will be unable to see the gaming and the area is unsheltered. If you are staying onsite, we would ask that you do not distract the players whilst games are taking place or cross the fencing area to access the zones. You would be unable to access any of the gaming zones.

What if it rains?

With the great British weather, we are a wet weather activity, we run all year, that’s sun, rain, sleet and snow! Our gaming guns are weatherproof and so are the staff! We recommend suitable layered clothing for the weather, and suitable footwear. Please see our terms and conditions of booking regarding weather.

All our Birthday parties take place on a weekend, however we do take Group bookings in the week days and evenings, Non exclusive, Minimum charge for 25 players applies even if you have less, please see the group page for more information and to check availability, please email us.>

Is there flexibility with numbers when inviting, can I book for 10 and then add more later when I get my RSVP's

Unfortunately, we can not offer this type of flexibility with our parties. We have a set number of guns and once they are booked out for players, they are booked out. Once we are at full capacity, we can not add extra players on. We get very busy and most weekends are booked up. We highly recommend you ONLY invite the number of players you have booked for. That way you are secure in knowing they have equipment booked out for them and you will not have to disappoint and uninvite guests!

If you do not know your confirmed numbers yet, we have seen other parents throughout the years send a quick email or phone around guests parents asking availability about a specific date and explaining that there are limited places.

If you do find you need to add extra players to the booking, ALWAYS call us first before inviting those players, we can tell you how many spaces we have left and give you an idea if we can accommodate them. We really do not like disappointing parents or children so please, please do not invite more players than you have booked for.

Making a booking

When you make your booking, you will need to know how many players you are booking for, minimum x 10 up to 50. How many guns you secure at the time of booking is how many guns you will have on the day. If you book for 10 for example, and only 8 people turn up on the day, you will still be charged in full for the amount of players you have booked for. We may not be able to accommodate extra players if you over invite, please see our inviting people section. We do not take deposits, parties must be booked and paid for in full. We accept most major credit and debit cards. Bookings are non-refundable, but are transferable to another date up to one month before your booking.

Booking Terms and Conditions

Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions Here, all bookings are made on the acceptance and agreement of these terms and conditions prior to booking your session with us. Please print out a copy of these for your records.

After you have booked

Once you have booked your session with us, you will receive your confirmation of booking via e-mail. There will be a link to our pdf attachment called essential booking info pack This will have important information on that you will need to read regarding your party. The email will confirm how many players you have booked for, the time and date of your party and the amount you have paid. You will also receive a receipt from stripe for your card transaction.

I have had a party with you before, Do I still get a free place in addition to the numbers booked?

Yes, we like to reward our returning customers! when you are booking, you can fill in the information on the last party you had with us with an approximate date and we will verify the info from our database. Once you have read your booking information pack, please email us your details and once we have checked we will confirm an extra place has been added for you free of charge in addition to the numbers booked. Please note this is limited to 1 free place per party and is in addition to the numbers booked. You also must have personally booked the party with us before in your name, unfortunately the offer is not valid whereby you have shared a party and a friend has made the booking and paid directly.

Inviting people

Your confirmation of booking will direct you to download your party invites, directions and player consent forms from our website for each player. Players that are aged under 18 years old are required to have a parental consent form signed by their parents in order for them to play on the day. No Form – No play. Over 18’s need to sign their own forms. You will need to issue the link to the online disclaimers for your party to your guests.

PLEASE NOTE – We recommend that you do not send out more invites than you have guns booked. With some alternative parties, parents will send out 15 invites in the hope of getting 10 “yes’s”. With Lasergaming parties, we do NOT recommend this, our parties are very popular, and most children will change their plans to attend. In the past there have been incidents where mums have over invited, more people responded with a yes, than they had guns booked, all our guns were booked out, so the poor mum had to let down children after they had been invited by telling them now they couldn’t come. This can be avoided by not over inviting!

Please start by sending out the same amount of invites as you have guns booked, and then as people let you know if they can make it or not, then send out others if need be. Once you have invited your guests and people start accepting their invitations, some parents will inform you of information specific to their child, for example, they are vegetarian, they are allergic to wasp stings, they have had a broken arm in the past 6 weeks, they have a nut allergy etc. If you are unsure how this will affect your party, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss. In most cases, with good preparation and prior knowledge before the party day, by our staff team, players can still attend. For more info on this, please read our FAQ section. Please note as our activities are adventure activities, we must conduct a safety briefing at the beginning of each party. We therefore cannot accommodate late arrivals under any circumstances once the safety briefing has started. All guests need to arrive promptly on time to take part.

On the day

So you booked your party, sent your invites out and now its party day! On your invites it would have asked your guests to arrive 15 minutes before the party start time but no earlier. Please note - We cannot accommodate LATE arrivals under any circumstances, all players must be present from the start of the session in order to take part. As your guests are arriving they will need to remain in their vehicles. All children will be temperature checked. Once we have all groups ready, we will walk the groups up to the woodland and into the briefing zone. The party host will be asked to wait in our party shelter area. Each party is limited to 2 non players waiting on site. For health and safety reasons and child protection reasons, players only are allowed into the laser zones. The groups will now be briefed and weapons issued. They will begin the gaming and will not return until 10 minutes before the end of the party time. We will return your group to the briefing area for pictures if all parents have consented and then gather your group and escort them to the birthday area or down to the carpark for pick up by their parents. Please note we upload any pictures to Facebook on Monday’s and Fridays only. www.facebook.com/lasergamingoxford We hope you have a great day with us, and we love to hear the parents and Birthday children’s feedback after their parties, and are always looking to improve our services. If you have any comments or feedback you wish to share, or any photos of players, cakes etc, please e-mail us at lasergaming@oxfordadventurepark.com.

Q & A

Can we stay longer? I am afraid you are limited to 15 minutes at the end of the party. Please do not be offended if we nudge you along. Once the 15 minutes is up, we will escort you and your group/guests down to the car park for pick up and departure. The next group will be waiting in the car park and we will need time to be able to clean the areas before bringing them up to the same area where they will be having their safety briefing

Can Other Parents join us? Parents of guests are allowed to come up to the woodland at the end of the party, to the picnic area for your birthday cake celebrations. So we can prepare for the next group's arrival, we will escort your group and your guests down to the car park after 15 minutes. Please ensure your guests stay in the birthday area only, they are not permitted in any other areas of the woodland and to enter gaming areas.

Do you provide cups and squash? No. During the games, we provide players with water.  After the party, if you want to do refreshments and birthday cake, you will need to bring cups, water, squash etc, plates, and napkins.  You will also need to bring a black bin bag for all of your rubbish and we ask you to take this home with you and dispose of it accordingly.  Please do not leave it behind.

Can we decorate the area? Not at this time.  Time is limited to 15 minutes and we need to be able to get the area ready for the next session as above.

Can I have food delivered to the site for my 15 minutes? No. As time is limited, we ask that you do not have food delivered to the site. The area is for a birthday cake celebration. Phase 3, later in the year will be the re-opening of the main picnic area.

Do you look after the kids for the 15 minutes after the party? No, you will need to supervise all the children from your party and make sure they do not access any other areas of the site, climb any trees, access any of the high ropes areas or access any of the laser areas.

Is the area sheltered? No, All of our picnic benches are in the woodland and are not in a covered area.  

Do I have my own private space away from everyone else? No, the birthday cake area consists of a small area with multiple picnic benches, outdoors where your party attendees can sit and sing happy birthday.

Can I bring the dog? I am afraid not, we have a heronry on-site so no dogs are allowed.

Can we picnic in the car park after the session? No, I am afraid not, it is a private site and we have multiple session start times, please see the essential booking info pack for more information.
