Superplay

Superplay is a large-format family entertainment center in Mesa, Arizona, combining a full slate of activities — bowling, laser tag, go-karts, arcade games, mini golf, and more — under one expansive air-conditioned roof. While catalogued in the Sedona area of this directory, Superplay is located in Mesa, about 1. 5 hours from Sedona in the Phoenix metro area, making it most practical for East Valley families or those including Phoenix in their Arizona itinerary.

The variety at Superplay is its primary strength. Bowling appeals to grandparents and little kids alike; laser tag gets competitive tweens and teens fully engaged; go-karts provide a thrill for those who meet the height requirements; and the arcade section can absorb enthusiastic children for far longer than any parent budgeted. Mini golf adds a lower-key option that works well for mixed-age groups where some participants aren't ready for faster attractions.

The all-indoor format is a significant practical advantage in the Phoenix metro area, where summer heat makes outdoor entertainment genuinely challenging. Being able to spend 3-4 hours in climate-controlled entertainment regardless of the triple-digit temperatures outside makes venues like Superplay a genuine summer necessity for many Arizona families.

The facility is large enough that it rarely feels completely overwhelmed, but weekend afternoons still bring significant crowds to the most popular attractions. Weekday visits offer shorter waits and a more relaxed atmosphere. Early Saturday arrivals (opening time) can get several activities done before the midday rush sets in.

For families visiting Phoenix with children spanning a wide age range, Superplay's format works well because something appropriate exists for every age group — toddlers on the kiddie rides, big kids on go-karts and laser tag, parents bowling. It is the rare venue where genuinely nobody is bored.
