Outdoor Laser Tag in the Woods
Kersey Valley is located in Archdale, North Carolina, just outside Greensboro in the heart of the Triad, sitting between Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem. The park’s signature laser tag is played outdoors in the woods, where up to 60 players can face off at once in what the team describes as a full sensory overload of fun. It’s a far cry from the arcade-style laser tag most people grew up with — here the action unfolds among real trees, sandbag bunkers, military-style equipment containers, massive logs, camouflaged blinds, and even a General’s car to hide behind. The experience is built around high-end Battle Company taggers, the same gear featured on A&E’s Rooster & Butch. Each unit offers vibration feedback when you shoot or get hit, a visual health indicator on the front LEDs, and primary and secondary weapon slots that let you switch between eight default weapon types on the fly. After each match, players head to the “graveyard” to check their scores on a big screen and see if they qualified for MVP or other brackets, with stats saved to the Call Sign Live app so regulars can climb the ranks.
An Arena Built for Real Battles
The playing field is a custom-designed outdoor course set in the forest, packed with natural cover and themed structures that make every round feel like a real firefight. The surround-sound system pumps audio of Apache helicopters through the arena, adding to the immersive atmosphere the moment the game begins. Guests are asked to arrive about 45 minutes before their start time to get fitted for equipment and learn the ropes. The taggers themselves are a big part of what makes the arena special. With eight ready-to-use weapon presets — from the Battle Rifle and SMG to the Sniper and Battle Cannon — players can customize range, damage, clip size, reload speed, and rate of fire. Special weapon types like the charge rifle, laser rifle, and infected gun open up fresh game modes, and custom weapon slots give teams even more freedom to tailor their loadouts before stepping onto the field.
More Than Just Laser Tag
While laser tag is the centerpiece, Kersey Valley is a full adventure park with plenty to keep a group busy. The zipline adventure mimics a flight program, with tours starting at a “Flight School” before soaring above the maize field on engineered Sky Towers named after airports. The First Class tour features 14 zip lines across 17 towers, while the Coach Class tour offers a 10-line flight. There are also four themed escape rooms — including a who-done-it, a haunted sanitarium, a nuclear reactor, and a rift in the multi-verse — with three difficulty levels and 60 minutes to escape. Axe throwing rounds out the year-round offerings, with guided sessions in a safe environment for friendly competition. During the fall, the park adds the Maize Adventure with its 92-acre corn maze, express train rides, cow train, wagon rides, and gem dig, while Spookywoods transforms the grounds into a sprawling haunted attraction with 15 haunted buildings and a cornfield laser maze. The holiday season brings Kersey Valley Christmas, with over a million LED lights and train rides through a Wild West-themed display.
Built for Celebrations and Team Days
Kersey Valley is a natural fit for birthday parties, and the laser tag team actively promotes it as a great option for celebrations across Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, and the surrounding Triad. Reviews frequently mention birthday parties for kids and teens, and the park also handles school field trips, with instructors joining in the games to keep the energy high. The venue works well for corporate events and team-building days too, given the range of group activities and the outdoor setting. The park’s welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere is a recurring theme in visitor feedback, and the staff — from guides to laser tag instructors — are often singled out for their humor, energy, and willingness to make each group feel looked after. Whether it’s a youth group, a company outing, or a family gathering, the team tailors the experience to the crowd on hand.
Places to Relax and Refuel
Between rounds, there’s plenty to keep everyone comfortable. The park offers a range of food and drink options, including the Apple Cider Donut Shop (a fall favorite), Snow Drifts shaved ice with ten vibrant flavors, plus the Fudge Shop, Funnel Cake Shop, and Snack Shack for homemade treats. Picnic shelters provide a spot to sit back and watch the action, and the grounds are designed so groups can spread out and enjoy the day at their own pace. Because the park operates year-round with different seasonal attractions, there’s almost always something new to try on a return visit. From the adrenaline of outdoor laser tag and ziplining to the slower pace of the corn maze and holiday lights, Kersey Valley offers a full day of activity in a natural setting that’s easy to reach from the major cities of the Triad.
