Looking for active, family-friendly fun near Asheville and Hendersonville? Lakeview Putt and Play in Arden offers two action-packed outdoor attractions: Laser Tag and Gellyball.

Located at 2245 Hendersonville Road, Lakeview gives families, birthday groups, youth organizations, friends, and even adult teams a place to compete, move, strategize, and have fun together. Its outdoor Laser Tag arena uses professional infrared equipment with no projectiles, while Gellyball offers a gentler alternative to paintball using soft, water-based gel balls.

With easy access from Arden, Asheville, Hendersonville, Fletcher, and surrounding communities, Lakeview Putt and Play makes it simple to plan an afternoon of competitive outdoor fun.

Outdoor Laser Tag in Arden

Lakeview’s outdoor Laser Tag arena is designed for fast-paced team play. The field includes a mix of natural and artificial cover, bunkers, obstacles, and tactical hiding spots, so players have to move, communicate, and think strategically.

Each 60-minute session includes a safety briefing and game setup. Players use professional infrared laser taggers, so there are no paint pellets, foam darts, or physical projectiles involved. The equipment uses harmless infrared light, which means the experience is active without the mess or sting associated with paintball.

Game modes can include Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and VIP, giving groups more than one way to compete. Laser Tag is recommended for ages 7 and older, and players under 12 require adult supervision. Closed-toe shoes are required, and comfortable athletic clothing is recommended.

Laser Tag is a strong choice for family outings, birthday parties, youth groups, teen gatherings, team-building events, and adults who still enjoy a little friendly competition.

Gellyball for Younger Players and Families

Gellyball delivers a similar competitive feel but with softer equipment and gentler gameplay.

Instead of paintballs, Gellyball uses small, biodegradable, water-based gel balls. They dissolve on impact, leave no paint residue, and are designed to feel more like a light tap than a hard hit. That makes Gellyball especially appealing to younger players and families looking for an introduction to tactical-style games without the bruising or cleanup associated with traditional paintball.

Lakeview provides the gel blasters, ammunition, and protective eye gear. Sessions last about 30 minutes.

The Gellyball page lists the activity for ages 6 and older with adult supervision, while Lakeview’s main site currently promotes Gellyball for ages 5 and up. Because those age recommendations differ slightly across the site, families with younger children may want to confirm current requirements before booking.

Gellyball can also be combined with other Lakeview attractions, including Laser Tag, mini golf, and virtual reality, making it easy to turn a single activity into a larger family outing or birthday celebration.

Birthday Parties, Groups, and More Ways to Play

Both Laser Tag and Gellyball work especially well for organized groups.

Lakeview offers birthday party packages with hosted experiences, activity sessions, party space, and add-on options. Laser Tag birthday packages may include multiple games, use of the covered outdoor pavilion, a dedicated party host, a small ice cream or slushie for guests, and a gift for the birthday child. Gellyball can also be added to birthday celebrations for younger players.

Corporate groups, scout troops, youth groups, schools, and team-building events can also combine activities. Lakeview’s group packages may include Laser Tag, Gellyball, mini golf, virtual reality, or gem mining, with group rates available for larger parties.

The Arden location is convenient for visitors from Asheville and Hendersonville and offers free parking. Lakeview is open year-round, with outdoor attractions dependent on weather conditions. Current posted hours are daily from 10 AM to 9 PM, though guests are encouraged to check current hours and call ahead when weather is questionable.
