Since its invention, laser tag has entertained as many children as laser hopscotch, laser jacks, and laser Red Rover have vaporized combined. Score a round of intense beam-streaming competition with today's Groupon: for $12, you get combo packages for two at Big Bear Funplex in Big Bear Lake (a $24 value). Each combo package includes:

• One ride on the Himalaya roller coaster
• One 15-minute laser tag session
One ride on bumper cars

The Amusement Center at Big Bear Funplex has been lauded by the Daily Bulletin for its upbeat epicenter of rides, laser tag, and arcade adventures. This combo package provides a high-speed seat on the red-and-yellow Himalaya mini roller coaster, allowing visitors to careen through the park while testing their hat glue. Visitors grab a steering wheel to bop friends on the bumper car rink before exploring the 2,800 labyrinthine square feet of laser tag, during which participants brandish beams to nab opponents.

Customers stop in to Big Bear's Noble Roman Pizza to refuel between rides or after arduously harvesting arcade prizes. The Funplex posts TVs throughout its quarters and stables a herd of frozen steeds to inhabit its carousel, keeping young visitors busy. Although Big Bear hosts attractions for all ages, some of the rides have minimum height requirements.
