Laser Works opened in the 1990s on International Drive, pairing a multi-level laser-tag arena with a small arcade zone (Skee-Ball, racing simulators). The venue closed around 2008; its address now houses an escape-room attraction, but Orlando tourism blogs still share neon-lit photos of Laser Works’ sci-fi façade.
