Laser Tag in Brussels: The Complete Guide (Arenas, Prices, Reservations)

When you look for a laser tag venue near Brussels, you’ll quickly find yourself asking the same question: where can you find one that’s worth the trip? In Machelen, just ten minutes from Brussels Airport and the ring road, Laser Magic brings together two themed arenas, an outdoor mini-golf course, and an arcade area all in one location.

Laser Magic's 2 arenas: Jungle and Prison

Laser Magic offers two laser tag arenas, each with its own theme and gameplay mechanics. Most visitors play both during the same visit rather than choosing just one—which is why the “ 2 games ” package (€21) is the most popular choice for open play sessions.

The Jungle Arena recreates an immersive jungle/Jurassic-style setting: narrow passages, obstacles of varying heights, and plenty of hiding spots. It encourages fast-paced play, where moving quickly and changing positions are just as important as aiming accurately. This arena is best suited for groups—both children and adults—who prefer a fast-paced, physical game.

The Prison arena offers a different experience: hallways, cells, and enclosed areas. The gameplay here is more tactical—spotting blind spots, holding a hallway, and coordinating with your team become just as important as the final score. This is the arena that appeals most to groups who enjoy playing as a team, especially during team-building activities.

The equipment consists of LaserMaxx vests and laser guns—the industry standard for shooting accuracy and vest reliability—a key factor when comparing different laser tag venues, as low-quality equipment is the number one source of disappointment for players. Games are played in team or free-for-all mode, for players ages 6 and up.

The Jungle or Prison—which one should you choose?

• Groups with young children or beginners → Jungle, which is more intuitive and mobile-friendly.
• Group looking for a strategy game (team-building, among experienced players) → Prison.
• Can't decide? → Choose the " 2 games " package to experience both arenas in a single visit.

Laser game or laser tag: What's the difference?

The two terms are often confused in research. Laser tag historically refers to a lighter version of the game, sometimes played outdoors, with simpler equipment. Laser game, as offered by Laser Magic, is played in a closed, themed arena with a set designed specifically for the game (obstacles, lighting, hiding spots).

In practice, in Belgium, the general public uses the two terms interchangeably to refer to the same activity: arena games with laser guns and vests. What really sets one venue apart from another is the quality of the decor and equipment—not the name used.

How Does a Game of Laser Tag Work?

The process is the same regardless of which arena you choose:

• Welcome and briefing— overview of the rules and equipment, about 10 minutes.
• Equipment— vest and laser gun, quick adjustment.
• The game— 15 minutes of arena play, either in a team or solo.
• Results— A scoreboard is displayed at the arena exit.

Here are a few tips for playing well, especially useful for your first run: keep moving rather than staying in one spot (the arenas are designed to penalize inactivity), aim for the torso rather than the legs to maximize hits, and keep an eye on your energy—the vest recharges automatically after a few seconds of inactivity, so taking a hit never permanently knocks you out.

Two sessions allow visitors to experience both arenas during the same visit, which is the most common choice outside of event packages.

Beyond laser tag: mini-golf, arcade games, and bowling

A round of laser tag lasts 15 minutes. The question that almost always follows is: What should we do next?

At its location, Laser Magic offers:

• a 12-hole outdoor mini-golf course (seasonal), for 10€;
• an arcade area with virtual bowling and arcade machines (indoor Luna Park);
• an on-site restaurant/bistro, so you can extend your outing without leaving the premises.

This combination is what most distinguishes Laser Magic from a traditional laser tag venue limited to a single activity: a family or group of friends can enjoy laser tag, mini-golf, and arcade games all in a row for an entire afternoon, all in one place. The location is also a plus: in Machelen, just 10 minutes from Brussels Airport and the ring road, the venue is easily accessible from throughout the Brussels region without being right in the city center, which makes parking a breeze.

What's a good reason to play laser tag?

Laser tag works just as well as a walk-in activity as it does as part of an organized package:

• Children's Birthday Parties— Laser Magic offers special packages (laser tag games, arcade games, and snacks), starting at €18 per child, depending on the package. See our children's birthday party packages.
• Team building— Quick Events packages (laser tag + gourmet break) and Dinner Events packages (laser tag + meal) are available for groups of 10 or more. See the team building packages.
• School field trip— a special package is available for student groups. See the school field trip packages.
• Whether you're out with friends or family—the à la carte options (€12 / €22) are all you need; no need to order a set menu.
