Defence families
10% off. Any day. No paperwork.
Defence families have been finding us every posting cycle for thirty-three years. So we made it official — a standing discount on private bookings, and a place where the kids meet other kids quickly.
- 10% off private bookings
- The whole venue to yourselves
- Unit & family events
- Darwin City
Landing in Darwin knowing nobody
Every posting cycle brings families to Darwin who need to build a social life from scratch, fast — usually through the kids. We have watched it happen here for three decades: a birthday party where a new kid invites a class they barely know yet, holiday sessions where the same crew turns up all fortnight, a league where you see the same parents every Wednesday.
We are a family-run Darwin business, not a chain — so the discount is simply a standing arrangement, and the person you speak to on the phone is usually one of the owners.
Mention Defence when you book — that is the whole process.
Where to start
- Private bookings →
The whole venue for a family get-together, a welcome-to-Darwin crew or the unit — and this is where the 10% applies.
- School holidays →
Unlimited laser tag and arcades, $15 an hour, drop-off friendly. The fastest way for new kids to meet other kids.
- Weekly leagues →
Junior, teen and open competition every week. Same faces, same night — the thing that actually builds a friendship group.
- Birthday parties →
The whole venue to yourselves, and an easy invite for a class your kid has only just joined. (Packages are already package-priced, so the Defence discount does not apply to these.)
- Unit & family days →
We can bring the gear to your venue — any under-cover space. Ring and we will talk through what works.

Defence discount questions
How do we claim the discount?
Just mention it when you book or when you arrive — online, on the phone, or at the counter. No forms, no codes, no proving anything twice.
What does it apply to?
Private bookings — the whole venue for your family, friends or unit, from $25 a head before the discount. The 10% is for private bookings only — it does not apply to birthday parties, open play, school-group rates or mobile events.
Does it work with other offers?
It stands on its own rather than stacking with other promotions. If you are not sure which way works out better for you, ring (08) 8981 1333 and we will work it out with you.
Can you run something for a unit or a family day?
Yes — either here with the whole venue to yourselves, or we bring the gear to you. Mobile events start from $1,100 and need an under-cover space; the 10% applies when you book the venue here. Ring and we will work out what suits.
We have just posted in and know nobody. Is this a good way to meet people?
Honestly, yes. Holiday sessions and leagues are where kids find each other fastest — the leagues run weekly, so the same faces come back. It is one of the quicker ways into a group.
