Didn't like the type of laser rifle that requires two hands contact. Had some technical issues at the end. But the arena was so freakin amazing that the small issues previously mentioned are rather benign. They're not too far away from 5 star worthiness
We really enjoyed our glow party at Stratum. The kids had fun. Though the adults and older teens should go in as separate groups, they really gang up on the little kids. The party room was great, the kids loved all of the glow stuff, it was quite expensive though.
My family has been visiting Stratum for many years and each time has been wonderful and full of fun. We played unlimited laser tag for four hours with no glitches. Facility was clean and properly staffed and monitored. All the equipment worked perfectly. The strip mall is a work in progress but appears clean and recently remodeled. Snack bar was well stocked and priced much the same as any other concession stand. We found the staff to be polite, engaging, and firm enough to establish rules so the experience was safe for all. I seen a few complaints against John while reading reviews but we have nothing but nice things to say about him. He was helpful and responsive to our family. We love your establishment! We are about an hour drives away and it's always worth it! We can hardly wait to return.

The game was fun, but it was hard to find out how to get to places. Also, you can't bring cameras, so that meant I couldn't use my GoPro. I don't fully see why, but I do have some ideas. Now I know why there aren't videos of this place on YouTube.
In my game, the yellow team stayed up top and sniped the whole game. 😥
Overall my son had a great time here. We had his birthday here and the staff was well trained and did what was promised. He had the party in the neon room which he thought was cool. He and his friends seemed to really enjoy the laser tag as well. The pizza was not the best. I would skip the pizza if we did it over again.
First time visiting and will definitely be back! The staff were awesome, the bathrooms were surprisingly clean, the equipment worked well (mostly!), and the layout of the tag arena was pretty awesome and well thought out. All in all, it was an extremely enjoyable night for our group. A massive thank you to the staff for making that happen.
As a slight suggestion, I'd love to see smoke machines in the arena as this really adds to the atmosphere.
I’ve played laser tag at Stratum in AZ twice since moving to the SE Valley and I have to tell you it is a rush and the club like atmosphere is so immersive and safe for kids. I intend to have my little daughter’s birthday party at their place this year as well. Thumbs up.
Fun times. Would love to see an improvement on the system to let those that played know new games are up. If you are not huddled at the door, you might miss your game. Also, how about an option to blackout some of the packs lighting so it's not so obvious when someone is coming?
John was non-helpful and non-forgiving. Every question I had was received with the response of "unfortunately this" and "unfortunately that". So, unfortunately I will not be back!
Everyone else was AMAZING! My son DID have a great time and that's what mattered. ☺
This place is a blast. The staff is wonderful and friendly. Its a little expensive for us, a family of 7 but we hope to go back soon.
A great place! I took my 2 daughters and niece and nephew - age range was 8 - 11 - at first we were awful, but we bought the unlimited pack and kept at it for 4 hours yes, 4 hours of walking, thinking, strategizing, failing, learning.and the last 4 gameswinning. The place was great, the staff amazing, and it's just a fun time! Highly reccomend! Parents, if you take your kids, do it with them learn together, my youngest got zero points her first game (#34 out of 34) and by the end she was finishing top 15 every game and beat me a few times.
