What-A-Blast Laser Tag
📍 State College, PA
What-A-Blast is a 2,800 sq ft black-lit laser tag arena with walls, mirrors, obstacles, 3 forts, and portable sniper towers. Groups of 6–30 play privately. Surround sound, customisable lighting, and bring-your-own-music options.
A birthday place for boys and girls, we visit here several times a year, too many birthdays 🎉
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for kids aged 7 and up in groups of 6 or more — the private-group format makes it excellent for birthday parties, sports teams, and youth organisations. Younger kids may find the maze-style arena and black-light environment intense. Pre-booking is strongly recommended; walk-ins require a minimum headcount and are subject to availability.
