Laser Tag & Nerf Arenas in Preston

If your kids fancy themselves as tacticians rather than just running about with foam darts, Battlefield Live Pennine out in Chorley is the one option on this list. It's woodland-style laser tag rather than an indoor arena, with missions like Death Match and Zombie Survival booked in two-hour blocks, from £24 and for ages 8 and up. That age limit is worth knowing before you book, since this isn't one for younger children, and groups need at least eight people to fill a session, so it suits a birthday party or a gathering of friends better than a spontaneous trip with just your own family. There's parking on site, and booking ahead is required rather than optional. Being outdoors, it's also one to check the weather for before you set off.
