Find the Right Paintball or Laser Tag Venue in CBD, Southbank & Docklands

Getting Paintball and Laser Tag Right

Party Hero's picks here are indoor laser tag arenas rather than paintball, and both sit inside larger games venues. Strike Bowling Melbourne Central has its arena on level 3 above the station, and Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq Docklands has one in its circus-themed hall at The District.

How the two arenas compare:

  • Neighbours: Strike's arena shares a floor with lanes, escape rooms and augmented darts; Archie Brothers' with lanes, dodgem cars, a motion theatre and arcade machines.
  • Feel: moody lighting and big sound at Strike, neon and striped tents at Archie Brothers.
  • Group size: Strike's adult packages are for eight or more, Archie Brothers' for 10 to 30.
  • Kids: both welcome them with adults, and Strike has dedicated children's packages for ten-plus.
  • Price guide: both list from $23 per person.

Each has a cocktail bar and a kitchen, so a group can refuel between rounds.
