As 2025 winds down, we’re taking a look back at all the fun, laughs, and high scores we’ve shared this year! From high-tech thrills to hands-on play, The Fun Lab in Blaine, MN is packed with attractions that keep families coming back again and again.

Whether you’re planning a winter visit, looking for a great gift idea, or just wondering what to try next — here are 9 attractions we can’t stop playing in 2025.

1. Valo Arena — Move, Play, and Laugh Together

Our Valo Arena turns your body into the controller! This mixed-reality game gets everyone jumping, ducking, and laughing as your movements appear on the big screen. It’s perfect for family fun or group play — no goggles required.

Why we love it: Active fun that combines gaming and movement — perfect for all ages.

2. Ballocity — Big Energy for Little Explorers

Kids can climb, crawl, and launch foam balls in this multi-level play zone made just for younger guests. Parents can relax nearby while the littles get their energy out in a safe, enclosed environment.

Why we love it: The smiles never stop, and it’s the ultimate rainy-day activity for Blaine families.

3. Laser Tag — Fast, Flashy, and Fierce

Suit up and hit the arena! Our Laser Tag battles bring out friendly competition between families, teens, and coworkers.

Why we love it: Every match feels like a new adventure — lights, music, and all the action you can handle.

4. Laser Maze — Dodge, Duck, and Dash

Can you make it through the maze without breaking a beam? The Laser Maze is part puzzle, part obstacle course, and totally addictive.

Why we love it: It’s quick, fun, and a great way to challenge your reflexes (and your friends).

5. The Arcade — Lights, Tickets, and Prizes

From classics to cutting-edge games, The Fun Lab’s arcade is always buzzing with excitement. Collect tickets, score prizes, and chase that jackpot feeling!

Why we love it: Endless replay value and the perfect way to unwind any day of the week.

6. XD Dark Ride — The 3D Movie You Can Play

Buckle up for our XD Dark Ride Theater — a motion-seated, 3D adventure that lets you blast your way through epic missions.

Why we love it: The immersive visuals and competition for top score keep us coming back for “just one more round.”

7. Virtual Reality (VR) — Dive Into Another World

Step into our Virtual Reality arena and explore new worlds without leaving Blaine! Battle bots, explore fantasy realms, or team up with friends in multiplayer adventures.

Why we love it: It’s the future of fun — and a go-to pick for teen nights and date nights.

8. Ropes Course — Reach New Heights

Take your fun to another level — literally! The Ropes Course challenges guests to balance, climb, and conquer obstacles high above the arcade floor.

Why we love it: It’s a mix of courage, balance, and laughter (and you’re fully harnessed for safety).

9. Bumper Cars — Spin, Crash, and Laugh

No visit to The Fun Lab is complete without a round (or three) of Bumper Cars. Spin your friends, bump your family, and see who can drive in the straightest line (spoiler: no one).

Why we love it: It’s pure, classic fun for every age.
