Laser tag turns anyone into a kid again. You strap on a glowing vest, grip a phaser gun, and charge into a dark arena packed with ramps, barriers, and flashing lights. At Chasers Laser Tag in Naperville, Illinois, that’s the drill—every single time. Located at 953 W Ogden Ave, Naperville, IL 60540, this spot has been firing up locals since 1998. Families, friends, teens, and corporate groups from Naperville, Aurora, Lisle, and even Chicago suburbs keep coming back for the non-stop action. Whether it’s a birthday bash, team-building escape, or random Friday night, Chasers delivers sweat, shouts, and that sweet victory rush.
Step inside, and the vibe hits you fast. Laughter echoes, lasers zap, and the air smells like fog machine mist. Games kick off every 15-20 minutes, with each round lasting 20 minutes of total chaos in their two-story arena. Strobe lights pulse, bass-heavy music thumps, and themed setups like neon jungle or alien base keep things fresh. Kids under 7 play free with a paying adult, so families jump right in. Gear is top-notch: phasers have red-dot sights for sharp shots, vests flash and vibrate on hits, and a massive screen tracks live scores for red vs. green teams.
Pricing stays fair: $15 for one game, $25 for two, or $35 for three. Group rates drop to $12 per person for 10+ players. They take cash, cards, and Apple Pay. Pro moves? Crouch low behind pyramids, use ramps to flank, and save your power-ups for the final minute.

A Quick History of Chasers’ Epic Run
Chasers started small in the late ’90s as a family-run spot amid Naperville’s boom. Owners saw kids craving action beyond malls and arcades, so they built this beast of an arena. Over 25 years, they’ve hosted thousands of parties and upgraded nonstop, new fog systems in 2020, better sound in 2024, and fresh lighting for 2025. It’s survived pandemics and growth spurts, staying a staple because it focuses on fun over flash. Locals call it “the original Naperville battleground.”
Master the Arena: Tips to Dominate
Newbies, listen up. The arena spans 5,000 square feet with catwalks, towers, and dead zones for sneaky plays. Start by learning maps on their app—practice solo modes if you’re a first-timer shy. Teams get base pads to defend; lose it, and points tank. Power-ups spawn randomly: double shots or shields last 30 seconds. Wear dark clothes to blend in, and team up with fast runners for cover. Veterans swear by the “high-ground rush” climb ramps early and rain fire down.
Arcade next door adds extras: 50+ games like air hockey and claw machines. Redeem tickets for candy, toys, or laser tag credits. Glow parties hit select Fridays (blacklights everywhere, neon gear required—rent for $5).
Birthday Parties and Group Packages That Wow
Birthdays shine here. Packages start at $275 for 10 kids (2 games, private room, pizza, soda, host). Bump to $400 for 15 kids with 3 games and cake service. Add-ons like extra pizza slices ($15/large) or glow sticks ($2 each) keep it custom. Parents rave—no cleanup, and kids are happy. One dad said his daughter’s 10th turned 12 screamers into laser legends, with custom trophies for top scorers.
Corporate gigs? Team Builder Package: $20/person for 20+ (2 games, scores emailed post-event). Schools book field trips at $10/kid. Date nights? Glow-in couples deal: $30 for two games plus arcade tokens. Scouts and church groups get 10% off on weekdays. Book 2 weeks ahead for weekends; online reservations lock your slot.
Why Naperville Can’t Quit Chasers
Naperville packs family fun—from Riverwalk strolls to DuPage Children’s Museum—but Chasers cranks the energy. Off I-88, it’s 5 minutes from Route 59. Pair it with burgers at Mity Nice, ice cream at Oberweis, or shopping at Fifth Avenue Station. Teens from Naperville North/Central High hit it post-football or dances. Summer camps run June-August ($200/week, daily games + crafts). Holidays bring specials like New Year’s Eve all-nighters.
Safety first: Staff ID-checks (no unaccompanied under 12), enforces no-running rules, and runs slower “family mode” games. Padded floors/walls, open views, ADA ramps, and cleaned gear every game. Socks required ($1 if you forget).
