About
Megazone Hawkes Bay is an indoor laser tag and adventure gaming arena located on Saint Aubyn Street East in Hastings, making it one of the few dedicated laser tag venues in the region. This is the go-to spot in Hawke's Bay for high-energy, competitive fun—think multi-level arenas, immersive lighting effects, and the kind of adrenaline rush that appeals to both serious gamers and casual players looking for something beyond the usual tourist trail. It's the type of attraction that transforms a rainy day or a group outing into something genuinely memorable.
Expect a fast-paced, buzzy atmosphere with a mix of families, school groups, and mates on a night out. Most sessions run 15–20 minutes of actual gameplay, with briefings and gear-up time adding another 10–15 minutes per round. The experience suits active visitors of all ages (with sensible height/age minimums for younger kids), couples looking for competitive fun, and groups celebrating birthdays or team events. Go in with realistic expectations: it's sweaty, occasionally chaotic, and absolutely worth it if you're after interactive entertainment rather than a passive tourist experience. Comfortable shoes and a willingness to run around in the dark are essential.
Megazone fits nicely into a Hawke's Bay itinerary as an indoor activity—especially useful when the weather turns or you need a break from wine trails and coastal walks. Hastings itself has decent cafés and shops nearby, so you can make a half-day of it. It's popular during school holidays and weekends, so book ahead if you're visiting with a group. Best suited to spring through autumn when the region is busiest, though it's open year-round and genuinely handy for family visits during the colder months.
