All About BattleGR
284 Dodge NE Suite 100, Comstock Park, MI 49321
(616) 345-0698
BattleGR is a hybrid of a family fun center and an event center.
Located in Comstock Park near the LMCU Ballpark, this 24,000 square foot facility includes tactical laser tag, axe throwing, archery tag, social games, arcade and the grub food cafe.
This is THE place for birthday parties, summer camps, or just fun with your friends.
BattleGR is More Than Laser Tag
Before you come, Lashuay recommends booking a session to ensure availability for your group.
You can choose 30 minute, 1 hour, or 2-hour sessions. Or stay all day!
“Our mission is to bring fun back into family. Get them away from the screens – let’s interact with each other!” says Lashuay.
Tactical Laser Tag
Kids can trade backyard play for real life lasers at BattleGR.
If your kids love running around the house and yard, wielding Nerf guns and toy swords while fighting invisible bad guys, they will love laser tag at BattleGR.
Battle GR is bringing kid (and adult!) tactical strategy games to life, complete with laser guns and over 42 different missions.
You can also play archery tag (like playing “dodgeball” with bows and arrows), volleyball, futsal, basketball, axe throwing and more at BattleGR.
After your laser tag or archery tag session, wind down at any of BattleGR’s arcade games (additional cost) or have a bite to eat at their locally-focused kitchen/concession stand, The Grub.
BattleGR’s menu includes homemade pizza made on site with locally sourced ingredients when available, and Detroit City Soda.
Try axe-throwing and more at special events throughout the year. Events include teen-ish night, family fun nights and adult-only parents night out. (Axe throwing is not exclusive to special events.)

Epic Parties Come to You With the Mobile Truck
BattleGR is originally a mobile laser tag company, traveling around the area for birthday parties, company and school events, and more.
While they now have a physical location, BattleGR hasn’t given up their mobile roots. BattleGR still brings the fun to you – indoors or outdoors.
24′ Video Game Trailer
BattleGR brings the fun to you with their custom-built mobile video game trailer that travels throughout West Michigan. The trailer is available for private party rental throughout the year.

Mobile Laser Tag
If you want to play laser tag, BattleGR can make that happen – just about anywhere!
Pick your location and BattleGR will do the rest. They’ll set up barriers (or you can play without) and provide a game facilitator who will help brief on the rules.
“Our portable arena creates a unique combat zone at any event or location in Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas,” says Lashuay. “You can play indoors or outdoors, daytime or nighttime, and even in rain or light snow!”
Foam Parties
“It is one of the hottest parties right now, and we are Grand Rapids’ first foam party people,” says Lashuay.
- FoamGR provides the foam, music, and the games in a 30×30 foot area
- You provide water supply and electrical outlet
- UV for a glow party or color for a gender reveal party available

| Laser tag | Archery tag | Video game trailer |
| Axe throwing trailer | Hippo Chow Down interactive inflatable | Football bowling |
| Foam machine | Corn hole | Glitter or air brush tattoos |

“Parents can (also) watch the kids in the arena via TV,” Lashuay adds. “We also make a party gift list so the parents know who gave the birthday kid what gift.”
But what sets BattleGR apart from the crowd is that their party hosts actively engage the kids, rather than just follow the party around to make sure things go well.
