Fort Fun

A Friendly Place to Play, Indeed

Fort Fun has been a staple of Northern Colorado entertainment since 2000, and the moment you walk onto the property you can feel why. The park sits on several acres of outdoor space centered around a small lake, with attractions spread across the grounds in a way that feels open and unhurried. There is no admission fee to enter — guests pay only for the activities they choose, which makes it easy to wander, watch, and decide what looks good. The atmosphere is casual and family-oriented, with picnic tables scattered around and the smell of pizza drifting from the on-site restaurant. The park's name is a nod to Auntie Elizabeth Stone, a legendary pioneer figure in Northern Colorado history, which gives the place a subtle local roots feel. Over the years, Fort Fun has expanded well beyond its original offerings and now includes over ten attractions, an arcade with more than 50 games, and a full-service restaurant. It is the kind of place where grandparents can play a round of mini-golf while the kids race go-karts, and everyone can meet back up for ice cream sandwiches afterward.

Laser Tag on an Alien Planet

The laser tag arena at Fort Fun is built around a fully immersive sci-fi narrative. Players are briefed before entering: they have crash-landed on an alien planet and must navigate a foreign terrain filled with fog, lasers, and enemy drones. The arena itself is a multi-level indoor space with plenty of barriers, low walls, and elevated platforms to duck behind and shoot around. A 14-foot alien harvester looms in the center of the battlefield, adding a dramatic visual anchor to the experience. Both free-for-all and team-based game modes are available, and the entire experience — from the pre-game briefing to the final scores — stays on theme. The recommended minimum age is five, making it accessible for younger players while still offering enough challenge for adults. Each round costs $8.50 per person and includes the use of a battle pack and phaser, with coaching available for first-timers.

Go-Karts, Mini-Golf, and More Under the Colorado Sky

Beyond laser tag, Fort Fun offers a full lineup of outdoor attractions. The go-kart track is a quarter-mile loop with enough twists and straightaways to make each lap feel competitive. Single-seater karts are available for drivers 54 inches and taller, while double-seater karts allow an adult to drive with a younger passenger (minimum 3 years old and 36 inches tall). Each ride costs $10.25. Mini-golf fans get two 18-hole courses to choose from. The Old Fort Course winds past a replica of Horsetooth Rock and under a waterfall, while the Fantasy Course takes players through a medieval castle with tubes, obstacles, and mischief spinners that can change the outcome of a putt. Kids ages 4–12 pay $7.75, adults pay $10.25, and seniors 55 and older pay $9.25. Children under 4 play free with a paying adult. Seasonal attractions include bumper boats (typically open mid-May through mid-September) and paddle boats on Blue Heron Lake. The giant slide stands 35 feet tall and costs $1.50 per ride, or $5 for unlimited rides. The arcade features over 50 modern games with tickets that can be redeemed for prizes, with games starting at $0.50.

Escape Rooms That Test Your Wits

Fort Fun is also home to two fully immersive escape room experiences under the name "The 47 Seals." Each room gives teams of up to eight players 60 minutes to search for clues, solve puzzles, and complete their objective. The Mayday room and the Pharaoh's room each offer a different theme and level of difficulty, making them suitable for both first-timers and experienced escape artists. These escape rooms are available as standalone experiences or as part of a party package. They are particularly popular for corporate team-building events, youth group outings, and birthday celebrations where the group wants something that requires communication and critical thinking. The escape party package runs $319 for up to 8 guests.

Built for Birthdays, Corporate Events, and Everything In Between

Fort Fun is especially well-suited for birthday parties, with a range of packages that take the stress out of planning. The Silver package ($269 for up to 10 guests) includes a choice of four single-use attractions, two pizzas, two pitchers of soda, ice cream sandwiches, table settings, a party host for one hour, and a free annual pass for the guest of honor. The Gold package ($319 for up to 10 guests) upgrades to two hours of unlimited attractions. The Platinum package ($379) extends that to four hours, and the Diamond package ($549) adds a 60-minute escape room and an all-day unlimited pass for every guest. For corporate groups and large outings, Fort Fun offers Extreme and Ultimate packages that provide 2-hour, 4-hour, or all-day unlimited access to attractions, with pricing starting at $220 for up to 10 guests. The on-site restaurant serves made-from-scratch 16-inch pizzas, burgers, chicken tenders, salads, and other American fare, along with beer, wine, and cocktails. The restaurant is integrated into the park, so guests can grab a bite between activities without losing the momentum of the day. The staff at Fort Fun are known for being attentive and accommodating, with many reviews highlighting their willingness to help with last-minute changes, special requests, and making sure every guest feels welcome. The park also recently announced that it will honor memberships, gift cards, and coupons from the now-closed Urban Air location in Fort Collins through September 15, 2025, showing a community-first approach that goes beyond just running a business.
