My son will turn 6 in few months, and I'm in very early planning phase. He told me other day that he wanted to do laser tag at the local sport complex for his birthday party with classmates invited.
I'm thinking it's more of 7-8-9 year old level to do this kind of birthday party. What would your thoughts be if your 6 year old child was invited to his/her classmate birthday party at a laser tag? My son will be the 3rd last kid out of his 15 classmates to turn 6, the rest is already 6 and even 6.5 years old.
It sounds awesome!
I know when I was six, I'd be elated to participate. He might be a tad young, but you know your son best, how he plays with kids a bit older, I think if he can pick up how it works, he will have a blast.
Both of my kids love laser tag, and would be thrilled to participate in a laser tag party. At our local laser tag place, 6 is the minimum age they allow to play. If the OP's place has the same restriction, this would mean that the three kids younger than her son wouldn't be able to join in.
Aside from that possible issue, I can't imagine any six year old not loving it. I would open it up to the parents as well, because some of them might feel more comfortable if they were in there with their kids. Just make sure that they have the room to themselves, and not mixed in with a teenager group.
My nephew had laser tag at his 4th birthday party. They went to one of those family fun centers that has laser tag, go carts, arcade games, etc. He had gone a few times before, mostly with his older brother's boy scout troop.
Thanks for the feedback. This place is a complex; can do a sport theme party, playmaze or laser tag theme party. My son had the opportunity to play laser tag one evening during parents night out with a friend, and had a ball! Hence the idea of wanting to do it for his birthday. I'll talk with one of event manager, but their website says minimum age is 6 and will tear it towards specific birthday age group; whether be it 6, 7, 9 or teen ages. So that is a positive.
Only couple of things that give me pause and will ask is 2 of his classmates have later summer birthdays, so they won't be 6 for my sons party. Will have to check whether that is a hard and fast rule, and the other is I have a younger son who will be 3.5 years old at time of party. Obviously he can't join and would hate for him to feel left out...any ideas? Surely I can't be the only parent with younger siblings who doesn't make the cutoff age. Will ask and find out, there is the playmaze but that's probably closed during birthday groups, and an arcade ;94 hi, to hang out though.

The younger sibling stays with the parents while older brother and his friends play laser tag or one of the parents takes him to the arcade to play. Let your older child enjoy his birthday party without having his kid brother tag along in an activity that he's not old enough to play.
My kid has had his own laser tag guns since he was 4.
He loves them.
