About
Blast Arcade and Laser Maze is tucked into the Baytowne Wharf area of Sandestin Resort in Miramar Beach, making it one of the more uniquely located entertainment spots in the Destin vacation corridor. The surrounding Baytowne Wharf development has restaurants, shops, and live entertainment — so a visit to Blast Arcade naturally turns into a longer outing at the resort complex.
The laser maze is the defining feature here and what makes Blast Arcade more interesting than a standard video arcade. The maze involves navigating a room of crisscrossing laser beams — triggering as few as possible while making it through — which engages kids' problem-solving and physical agility simultaneously. It's the kind of activity that kids want to repeat immediately after finishing to improve their score, which is exactly the engagement loop you want on a vacation afternoon.
The arcade component adds complementary entertainment, with ticket-redemption games providing the reward structure that keeps kids motivated through the visit.
Located at Baytowne Wharf, the venue is convenient for families staying at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort or in the Miramar Beach corridor east of central Destin. With 248 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, it's a smaller venue with solid reputation. Weekday hours start at 3PM — plan this as an afternoon activity.

Why Kids Love It
The laser maze at Blast Arcade is the kind of attraction that makes kids feel like they're in a spy movie — navigating a room criss-crossed with laser beams without triggering the alarm. It's physical, puzzle-like, and gives even quiet kids a chance to shine when they figure out the path through. Kids want to go back repeatedly to beat their previous time.
