Laser Station is a fun and exciting place to play laser tag in Edinburgh. It is located in Fountain Park, a leisure centre not far from the city centre and easy to reach by bus or on foot from CES Edinburgh.
Laser tag is a game where you wear a special vest and use a laser gun to tag players on the other team. The game takes place in a dark arena with music, colourful lights, and lots of places to hide. At Laser Station, the arena feels like a space adventure, and the atmosphere makes the game exciting and fast.
Before the game starts, staff explain the rules and how to use the equipment. You do not need any experience — it’s easy to learn, and everyone can join in. The game is played in teams, so it’s a good way to practise teamwork and have fun with friends or classmates.
Fountain Park also has restaurants, a cinema, and bowling, so you can enjoy more activities after the game.
A visit to Laser Station at Fountain Park is a great way to do something active, exciting, and different during your time in Edinburgh — even on a rainy day!
