Laser Tag in Columbia, SC

Stars and Strikes Family Entertainment Center sits in Irmo, South Carolina, along Lake Murray Boulevard just a short drive from downtown Columbia.

The 50,000-square-foot venue centers on a two-story laser tag arena packed with ramps, obstacles, and glowing hideouts, plus 24 bowling lanes (eight with SPARK augmented reality), a 7,500-square-foot arcade and prize store, virtual reality experiences, and bumper cars. Kids’ birthday packages start at $15.99 per person with a minimum of ten kids and include bowling, arcade cards, and/or laser tag, food, a Ticket Tornado, and a dedicated party host.

The on-site CJ’s Tavern restaurant and bar serves chef-inspired food, and multiple private party rooms include an upscale corporate event space seating over 100 with a full private bar. The venue hosts corporate events, team building, fundraisers, sports and church groups, and reunions, and runs regular specials like entertainment happy hours, Sunday deals, and a Friday Stack-n-Play bundle.

Frankie’s Fun Park sits on 13 acres in the Columbiana Mall area of Columbia, South Carolina, just minutes from downtown, and has been a local favorite since 1994. The park runs on a pay-per-attraction model with no admission fee, offering three go-kart tracks, three miniature golf courses with 54 holes, bumper boats, batting cages, a spinning coaster, and a two-level apocalypse-themed laser tag arena. Indoors, a large arcade with hundreds of games, virtual reality experiences, and the interactive XD Dark Ride keep the fun going regardless of the weather.

The park is well set up for celebrations, with birthday packages starting at $25 per person (ten-guest minimum), twelve family-friendly party rooms, and group packages that add bonus value to play cards. An on-site special events team handles everything from corporate team building for groups up to 180 people to large events for up to 2,000 guests, while the food menu covers pizza, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. With free entry, never-expiring fun money cards, and gift cards available at the park, it suits birthdays, corporate outings, graduations, and family days alike.
