BattleGR: The Ultimate Destination for Your Best Day Ever
BattleGR is a fully immersive, hands-on experience where it feels like you have endless options for action. It’s one of west Michigan’s favorite things to do indoors.
Experience laser tag, archery tag, axe throwing, foam parties, video game truck rentals, sports court, arcade, even adult beverages … the list just goes on.
And you can’t miss their newest feature: virtual reality!
They are all about welcoming your next group (or traveling to you!) for a birthday party, corporate event or even team rentals.
“We’re very different from anything else in West Michigan,” says owner Jenny Lashuay.
Read on to find out what makes BattleGR so different (and amazing!) – plus your chance to WIN a birthday party.
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.)
NEW! You Can Now Play Virtual Reality
New in 2026, BattleGR now offers virtual reality experiences!
Unlike traditional VR, BattleGR experiences are designed for teams to play together. Groups all play in the same world and collab from start to finish. This is a fantastic team-building opportunity for businesses, youth groups, and everything in between. No gaming experience required!
Choose from tons of different games of various skill levels (easy, moderate or hard). Kids will love playing “Smurfs: The Blueberry Battle” while adults can opt to fight off zombies in “Dead Corps.” Three all-new games are featured every month so there’s always something new to try.
Level up your VR experience and try a 60-minute escape room experience. “Runway Train is our most popular escape room option,” says Lashuay. “People love to fire off the cannons.” Due to their ultra-real-life feel, escape room experiences are limited to players age 10 and up.
You can even book VR for your mobile party (must be set up indoors)!
30 minute games start at $150 and 60 minute escape rooms at $240 for groups of six.

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

“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.
