1. GUNSnLASERS Adventure Parks
GUNSnLASERS adventure parks are a great choice for families with kids and groups of friends. These parks offer a wide range of activities such as go-karting, laser tag, paintball, and VR games. They cater to visitors of all ages, from the youngest to adults. Each park is uniquely designed, so it's worth visiting all three – in Mežaparks, Jugla, and Šampēteris.

2. Go-Karting Hall
Go-kart racing is an activity that appeals to both children and adults. Electric go-karts are safe and environmentally friendly as they run on electricity instead of gasoline. Therefore, the go-karting hall is suitable for kids as young as 1.20 meters tall. It offers a unique chance to enjoy the competitive spirit without unpleasant exhaust fumes and noise. Go-karting is an excellent way for the family to bond while enjoying friendly competition. Before heading onto the track, each participant receives safety instructions and a go-karting tutorial. After each race, personalized results are displayed, helping to determine the day's best driver. The go-karting hall is also a great way for kids to develop focus, quick reactions, and decision-making skills. These abilities can be useful both in sports and everyday life.

3. Virtual Reality (VR) Rooms
Virtual reality games are becoming increasingly popular and offer an excellent opportunity for family fun. Unlike traditional video games, VR games require players to move actively, engaging both mind and body. You can choose from various VR games where you can "visit" the underwater world, climb mountains, or participate in exciting races. The VR room at GUNSnLASERS offers games suitable for all ages, so both parents and kids can find the right option for themselves. After the gaming session, you can relax at the tables, enjoy snacks, or order pizza. This makes the VR room visit an unforgettable adventure.
