Ultrazone Family Entertainment

A Fort Wayne Landmark Since 1995

Ultrazone Family Entertainment sits along Coliseum Boulevard West in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in a convenient and easily accessible part of the city. It proudly holds the title of Fort Wayne's very first laser tag facility, having opened its doors back in 1995 and remaining a beloved local destination for over three decades. The venue has grown and evolved with the community while keeping its core mission intact: providing a safe, high-energy space where friends and families can come together for active fun. The facility is housed in a standalone building with its own parking lot, making it a straightforward stop for anyone in the Fort Wayne area. From the moment you walk in, the lobby greets you with a classic arcade setup, a concessions counter, and a friendly front desk staff ready to get you geared up for action.

A Multi-Level Arena Built for Strategy

The heart of Ultrazone is its custom-designed, multi-story laser tag arena — a sprawling battlefield filled with ramps, spiral staircases, sniper perches, and themed obstacles. Players navigate through a dark, atmospheric environment with glowing neon accents, fog machines, and a pulsing soundtrack that heightens the intensity of every match. The arena features three distinct levels connected by multiple pathways, including a signature spiral ramp that offers a clear line of fire across the central zone. Strategic elements abound: elevated sniper cages provide cover and vantage points, while lower corridors allow for stealthy flanking maneuvers. The arena is equipped with Zone laser tag technology, specifically the Helios 2 phaser models, which offer responsive hit detection and a satisfying feedback system. Up to 42 players can compete in a single game, and the system supports up to three teams, allowing for complex team-based scenarios or free-for-all chaos.

Games, Scenarios, and Ways to Play

A standard game of laser tag at Ultrazone runs approximately 20 to 25 minutes from start to finish, including a briefing in the dedicated instruction room where players learn the rules, safety guidelines, and game objectives. Walk-ins are always welcome — no reservation is needed for regular play, though groups of 15 or more are encouraged to call ahead so the staff can prepare accordingly. For those looking for deeper gameplay, the arena supports a variety of scenarios. The staff can split players into balanced teams, set up objective-based missions, or simply let everyone loose in classic elimination-style matches. The venue also offers a "Power Play" special — two hours of unlimited laser tag for a flat rate — as well as an "All You Can Play" option during weekday afternoons, giving players the chance to jump into game after game without worrying about individual pricing.

Party Packages and Group Celebrations

Ultrazone offers three distinct party packages designed to take the stress out of hosting. Each package includes a dedicated party host who manages the entire event — from serving food and drinks to running the laser tag games and cleaning up afterward — allowing the host to simply relax and enjoy the celebration. Party rooms are available in both standard and glow-themed configurations, with the glow rooms featuring black lights and neon decorations for an immersive experience. For larger groups, the "Own the Zone" program provides a full facility buyout experience. This option is especially popular for corporate team-building events, youth groups, scout troops, fundraisers, field trips, and family reunions. An Own the Zone booking grants three hours of unlimited laser tag for the entire group, with the ability to add unlimited non-redemption arcade play, pizza from Domino's, and soft drinks. The base rate covers up to 42 players, with additional guests accommodated up to a maximum of 175.

Beyond Laser Tag: Arcade, VR, and Lounge Areas

While laser tag is the main attraction, Ultrazone offers plenty more to round out a visit. The lobby features a well-stocked arcade with games ranging from 50 cents to $2.50 per play, including classic pinball machines, modern video games, and redemption-style cabinets. A newer addition is Dragon's Den Virtual Reality, which brings immersive VR experiences to the venue. The concessions counter sells a variety of snacks and soft drinks, and pizza can be ordered through Domino's for parties and Own the Zone events. Party rooms double as comfortable lounge areas where guests can gather before or after games, enjoy refreshments, and celebrate special occasions. The venue also sells merchandise at the front counter — T-shirts, lanyards, keychains, and custom player cards that let you personalize your in-game name on the laser tag phaser.

A Team That Keeps the Fun Running Smoothly

The staff at Ultrazone are a key part of what makes the experience so enjoyable. From the front desk team who check you in and handle waivers to the game masters who run the arena and the dedicated party hosts who manage celebrations, every employee is trained to keep things running smoothly and safely. The venue is currently hiring for part-time shift leads and game masters, reflecting its commitment to maintaining a well-staffed, attentive team. The facility has been BBB-accredited since 2004, and the staff's experience shows in the little details — from the way games start promptly on schedule to the thoughtful accommodations made for guests with special requests. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular who's been coming since the 90s, the team at Ultrazone works hard to make every trip feel like a special occasion.
