About
Launch Family Entertainment in Clearwater serves the Pinellas County side of Tampa Bay — a multi-activity entertainment center in the Countryside area of north Clearwater that bundles mini golf, bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, and arcade games into one indoor facility.
The variety is the core value proposition. Different age groups and different family members each find their preferred activity without compromise. Mini golf is the multi-generational anchor — it works equally for grandparents, parents, and children of all ages, requiring zero physical prerequisites while still generating competitive energy and fun.
Bowling brings another classic that doesn't require prior experience and lets everyone participate simultaneously. Laser tag serves the more energetic segment. The combination means a family visit doesn't end when the youngest child tires of laser tag — there's always something else to pivot to.
The Clearwater location specifically serves families in north Pinellas County — Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Clearwater, and Palm Harbor residents who find it more convenient than driving into Tampa or Brandon. With a 4.5 Google rating from 326 reviews, it's well-regarded in its local community.
Hours run relatively late on Fridays and Saturdays (until 10:30pm), making this a viable after-dinner family outing. Saturday opens an hour earlier at 10am compared to the standard 11am weekday opening.
Book activity packages online rather than paying per-activity at the counter — combo packages offer meaningfully better value, and online pre-booking saves wait time at the ticket desk.
