Properly good laser tag with thoughtful staff; the café situation remains a mystery, as so often in life.

The long read worth saving for nap time

What’s it actually like?

Battle Sector X2 sounds like a very solid indoor laser tag venue, with reviews praising the arena itself, the clear instructions and the general sense that everyone gets stuck in and has a laugh. There’s also mention of VR escape rooms, so it’s not just one game and done. The big win here is how well it seems to work for families of different ages. One group ranged from 9 to 79 and all enjoyed it, which is no small feat. Staff get repeated praise too, with names mentioned for being friendly, helpful and good at pitching the experience to the group. That usually means less faff for parents and fewer sulks from children. What’s less clear from the reviews is the practical stuff parents usually care about: seating, food, pram access and baby-changing are all unknown. It also sounds like the main appeal is active play rather than a place to linger, so don’t expect a long, leisurely family day out unless you’re booking multiple games or adding VR.
