Got Kids at the Ball Field? We’ve Got the Fun Covered

How to Survive Tournament Days at Nebo View Baseball Complex (Without Losing Your Sanity)

If you’ve ever spent a full day at the ball fields, you already know—tournament days are a marathon.

One child is playing. Another is waiting. A third is bored. And somehow, you’re trying to keep everyone happy while still watching the game.

It doesn’t take long before the excitement turns into restlessness.

That’s exactly why we created a better option.

A Simple Solution for a Very Real Problem

At Elite Laser Tag, we’re set up just a 3-minute walk from the Nebo View Baseball Complex concession stands (990 N. 400 E., next to the tennis courts).

We’re close enough to stay connected to the action—but far enough to give your kids something fun, active, and engaging to do between games.

This isn’t something you need to plan your day around.

It’s something that fits right into it.

Why Parents Love It (and Kids Do Too)

Tournament days are long—and kids have energy.

When they sit too long, they get restless. When they’re restless, it becomes harder for everyone to enjoy the day.

We provide a safe, supervised environment where kids can:

  • Burn energy
  • Stay active
  • Have fun with other kids
  • Jump in and out between games

Meanwhile, you get to:

  • Focus on the game
  • Enjoy the moment
  • Worry less about keeping everyone entertained

It’s a win for everyone.

In fact, we frequently hear from parents and coaches who ask us to travel to more tournaments—because it makes their day so much easier. When families don’t have to worry about keeping every child entertained, they get to actually enjoy the reason they came.

Right Where You Need Us

We’ve made it as easy as possible to find us.

  • Fair Weather Setup:
    We’re located just south of the baseball fields near the tennis courts—within view of the complex and only a short walk from concessions.
  • Bad Weather Plan:
    If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we move indoors to the Hive—just an additional 3-minute walk (about 6–7 minutes total from concessions).

Check the map below to see exactly where we’re located.

No guesswork. No hassle. Just walk over and jump in.

Fast-Paced Gameplay That Keeps Things Exciting

This isn’t just “stand and shoot” laser tag.

Every game is quick (6–8 minutes), high-energy, and designed to keep kids engaged from start to finish.

We rotate through multiple game modes, including:

  • Capture the Flag
  • King of the Hill
  • Golden Gun
  • And more

Every round feels different, which keeps kids coming back for “just one more game.”

Flexible, Affordable Options for Every Family

We know tournament days are unpredictable—so we’ve built options that work for you.

  • $5 per game – perfect for quick breaks between innings
  • Punch Pass ($30) – Buy 6 games, get 2 FREE
  • Unlimited Play ($50) – Play all day (just rejoin the queue between games)

Whether your kids want to play once or stay active all day, there’s an option that fits.

Perfect for Teams, Too

Coaches and teams—this is for you as well.

Between games, players need:

  • A mental reset
  • A chance to move
  • A way to stay engaged without overexertion

Laser tag is a great way to:

  • Build team energy
  • Strengthen connections
  • Keep players loose and ready

Bring the whole team over and turn downtime into something memorable.

No Planning Required

One of the best parts?

You don’t have to plan ahead.

  • Walk over anytime
  • Jump into the next available game
  • Stay for one round or several

How We Make Every Laser Tag Game Exciting from Start to Finish

Nephi is the kind of town where everything feels calm and easy. Nothing rushed, nothing loud – just a comfortable place to spend time. If you’re planning a visit or thinking about coming during the holidays, it’s a spot that makes you feel at home pretty quickly. You can explore a little, relax a little, enjoy the views, and just take a break from the usual noise of everyday life. It’s the type of place where even a quiet day ends up feeling good. If you’ve been planning a day out at Main Event, the laser tag is probably on your list. It’s one of those games that looks simple from the outside but gets your heart pumping the moment you step into the arena. Before people book it.

How Long Is a Game at Main Event?

A normal laser tag session at Main Event runs for around 15 to 20 minutes in total.
The actual game — the part where you’re running, hiding, shooting, scoring — lasts 10 to 12 minutes.

The rest of the time goes into a few small things:

  • The staff gives a quick safety briefing
  • Players put on their vests
  • Everyone learns the rules
  • They check if the equipment is working

So, the complete experience is usually close to 15–20 minutes, even though the gameplay itself is shorter.

How Long Are Laser Tag Games in General?

In most places, not just the Main Event, laser tag matches stay between 1 and –15 minutes.
This timing works because it’s long enough to enjoy but short enough, so people don’t get worn out.
Laser tag isn’t slow – you move a lot, and most players run the whole time. So, the timing is kept short on purpose.

Why Matches Are Kept Short

There are a few simple reasons:

1. It’s Physically Active

Laser tags make you move constantly.
A 10–12-minute match keeps the game energetic without making people feel drained.

2. It Stays Fun

When games are short, players stay focused and don’t lose excitement.
It keeps the match intense from the start until the end.

3. It Helps with Crowd Flow

Main Event usually stays busy.
Shorter games help them move groups smoothly, so everyone gets a turn.

4. Works for All Ages

Kids, teens, and adults can all handle this duration comfortably.

What Happens Before You Start Playing

People sometimes get confused about the timing because they expect the match to start as soon as they enter.
But a few things happen first:

  • Staff members explain the do’s and don’ts
  • You wear the vest and adjust it
  • The team gives a basic idea of how the phaser works
  • They tell you the game mode

All of this barely takes a few minutes but gets added to the total session time.

What to Expect Inside the Arena

The moment you walk in, the lights drop and everything glows — walls, targets, obstacles.
Music plays in the background, and the arena has corners, ramps, and hiding spots.

Matches usually include:

  • Team vs team style
  • Scoreboards showing hits and accuracy
  • Sensors on vests
  • Obstacles to hide behind

It’s an environment that pulls you in instantly.

Can You Play More Than One Round?

Most groups end up playing more than one match.
Since the game is only around 10 minutes long, it doesn’t take much time to go for a second round.

A lot of people book:

  • Two back-to-back games
  • Multi-activity packages
  • Birthday or group sessions that include multiple plays

The second round is almost always better because by then, you know the arena layout.

Tips to Enjoy the Game More

A few small things help you get the most out of your session:

  • Wear shoes that you can run comfortably in
  • Go for light clothes because the arena can get warm
  • Keep moving so you don’t get tagged easily
  • Aim for the chest or back sensors for better points
  • If you’re on a team, talk and move together

These simple things actually make a big difference.

Is It Good for Kids?

Yes, laser tag at Main Event is very kid-friendly.
They keep the game safe, supervised, and the timing is perfect for younger players.
Kids enjoy the glowing lights and music the most.

Final Thoughts

Laser tags at Main Event are short, sharp, and exciting. Most games last around 10–12 minutes, and the full session takes about 15–20 minutes, including setup and instructions.

The timing is designed so everyone stays active, enjoys the match, and still has energy for other activities like bowling or arcade games—making it a fun option among the many things to do in Nephi Utah.

If you’re planning a visit, it’s good to know the duration so you can decide how many rounds you want to book and how to plan the rest of your time.
