If you’ve ever hosted a kid’s birthday at home, you know the reality: days of planning, a house that looks like a bomb hit it, and glitter in the carpet for weeks. Wellington families now have the simple, brilliant alternative: a laser tag birthday party at Laserplex in Tawa.
From the moment they arrive, our team takes over.
Your guests walk through the door at 2/78 Main Road, Tawa (just five minutes from the Tawa motorway turn-off, right next to National Storage) and the party is already rolling. A party host greets the group, runs the briefing, hands out the gear, and keeps everything flowing perfectly. Parents get to sit back, enjoy a coffee and a chat, with the kids are thoroughly entertained.p
Private party rooms & easy catering
Our private birthday party rooms give you a dedicated space for snacks, cake, presents, and a breather between missions. Our on-site kitchen can provide a range of food options – ask us for the current menu, as it changes regularly.
Two-hour parties that feel epic (but never drag on)
All our birthday events run for a full two hours. Plenty of time for multiple laser tag missions, VR sessions, or air gun range time, and to enjoy food and cake in your room. Kids leave buzzing with energy but not overtired, and parents leave relaxed.
The Big One: Zero mess, zero stress, zero clean-up
You don’t need to bring plates, cups, decorations, or party bags (though you’re welcome to). You don’t have to coordinate timings or chase lost children. You simply arrive, enjoy two action-packed hours, and walk out. Our team handles everything – setup, hosting, serving, and the clean-up afterwards.
Cutting-edge Laser Tag using Zone Helios Pro system
We use the very latest Zone Helios Pro equipment – the same professional system found in the world’s top arenas. That means:
- Lightweight, responsive phasers with instant hit feedback
- Interactive vests that light up and vibrate on every tag
- Live scoreboards on big screens
- Dozens of game modes – team battles, domination points, zombie survival, VIP escort, and many more
- Full-colour personalised scorecards printed at the end so every child goes home with proof of their heroics
And the arena is packed! Camo cover, glowing props, atmospheric lighting, and a pumping soundtrack. Exciting without ever being overwhelming, and perfect for ages 6 and up.
Add VR and the Air Gun Range for an even bigger celebration
Many families add our other attractions to the mix, creating the ultimate party!
Virtual Reality
We have 10 VR pods ready to go. Small groups can step into fully immersive digital worlds. Cooperative adventures, competitive arenas, or high-score challenges. Ideal as a rotation between laser tag missions or for guests who want variety.
Air Gun tactical shooting range
Our indoor air gun range uses authentic replica rifles, firing standard 6 mm hard plastic BBs (ball bearings). Electronic targets, reactive pop-ups, and timed scenarios keep the competition intense.
- Under 16s shoot alongside a participating adult
- 16 and 17 year olds can shoot independently
- Every shooter receives their paper target sheets to take home and show off their hits and accuracy
Fully supervised, completely safe, and an absolute thrill for older kids and teens.
Perfectly located for Greater Wellington
- 5 minutes from the Tawa motorway exit
- Limited on-site parking, with plenty of free street parking all around
- Easy access from Johnsonville, Porirua, Kapiti, Hutt Valley, and central Wellington
- Only a short walk from Redwood train station in Tawa – take the Kapiti line!
