WhirlyBall LaserWhirld of HEB

Where the Fun Lives

WhirlyBall Texas sits in the Parkwood Village Shopping Center in Hurst, Texas, right in the heart of the Mid-Cities between Dallas and Fort Worth. It’s a familiar local landmark that has been drawing families, coworkers, and birthday crowds for years, and it still runs a full schedule of open play, leagues, and private events. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible and can be reserved around the clock for private functions, which makes it a dependable stop for everything from after-work gatherings to weekend celebrations.

WhirlyBall: Bumper Cars Meet Basketball

The signature draw here is WhirlyBall, a fast, quirky sport that blends lacrosse, basketball, and hockey while you steer a bumper car called a WhirlyBug. Players use a joystick-like crank and a foot pedal to spin, reverse, and chase down a wiffleball, then scoop it into an electronic backboard to score. Each made shot is worth two points, and the alarm that sounds on a score is part of the fun. There are two large, well-lit courts on site, each lined with colorful bumper cars and high ceilings that give the room an open, energetic feel. The game is easy to pick up but hard to master, and the venue even shares strategy tips—like leaving a goalie back and keeping your WhirlyBug moving—so first-timers can jump in with confidence. Players need to be at least 9 years old and 4 feet tall to take the wheel.

LaserWhirld: A Two-Story Battlefield

Beyond the courts is LaserWhirld, a 6,000-square-foot, two-story laser tag arena where up to 26 players can face off at once. The arena is decked out with laser lights and futuristic sound effects, and players are automatically activated the moment they step through the doorway for a 15-minute session. The vests carry five clearly marked tag zones, with stun and deactivate areas that award different point values and control how long a tagged player’s vest powers down. You can play every person for themselves or split into the 13 red and 13 green teams. At the end of each game, your stats are downloaded and a printed scorecard is handed to you in the lobby—a nice keepsake for competitive groups.

Parties, Packages, and Team Building

WhirlyBall Texas is built around group events, and it’s a natural fit for birthday parties, corporate outings, team building, and school or club celebrations. The venue offers several bundled packages that pair WhirlyBall and laser tag with pizza, drinks, tokens, and time in a dedicated party room, so hosts don’t have to juggle the details themselves. There are multiple party rooms sized to accommodate different group sizes, and the staff regularly handles corporate team-building events, which is a recurring theme in customer reviews. The atmosphere is described as nostalgic and laid-back, with plenty of room for both kids and adults to have a genuinely good time.

More Than Just the Games

When the buzzer sounds, the fun doesn’t stop. A large arcade in the main lobby offers plenty of token-based games, and the venue provides drinks and catered food to round out the experience. Free parking is available on site, and external catering is allowed for those who want to bring their own spread. The staff, led by an experienced event manager, is known for keeping things organized and welcoming, which makes it easy to book a group and let the team handle the setup. Between the two WhirlyBall courts, the two-story laser tag arena, the arcade, and the party rooms, it’s a full evening of entertainment under one roof.
