Kids and adults were disappointed to see Laser Tag in Metairie close its door last December but the good news is that the owners of Lasor Tag are opening a new entertainment center in Kenner. The spot will be called Game on Social Hub and should open its doors sometime in the late summer to the beginning of the fall season.
Game on Social Hub will be located in the old Furniture Mart on Veterans Blvd. close to Home Depot. The new spot will house twelve bowling lanes and tons of other attractions including an 8,000-square-foot arcade! The arcade will have well over a hundred video and redemption games along with a prize store, a multi-level laser tag arena, axe throwing, a restaurant and a large bar with big screen Tvs.
Owner Davor Franicevich says the company is putting a whopping $10 million dollars into the new center and it will create over a hundred jobs for the community. The building needed renovations on the roof, exterior and parking lot. Most of the money will go towards the new games and equipment.
Nola’s Carousel Gardens Amusement Park and Storyland are giving patrons some extra perks this summer. The park will have extra hours and military offers to start off the summer. In fact, the Memorial Day weekend, the park had a special for military patrons.
The hours changed beginning after Memorial Day weekend with summer hours that included Tuesdays through Thursdays from 11 am to 4:30 pm and 11 am to 8 pm on the weekends. The park gave any U.S. Military member which included active, retired, reserve and National Guard a free single-day admission from Saturday to Monday. They also included six discounted tickets for the rest of their party.
The park didn’t stop there, they also will have Summer Saver Days during the weekdays. This will include the park rides for just $15 dollars. The rides are a big part of the park which include the Ladybug Rollercoaster, Umbrella Cars, historic wooden carousel, train and Storyland. On the weekends the rates will be $25 per person but still will only be $15 for chaperones and seniors.
