CHARLOTTE — This post-apocalyptic, immersive entertainment experience is taking its offerings to the next level.

District 57 opened Bordertown on Friday in Charlotte’s Ashley Park neighborhood.

That 4,000-square-foot, tactical laser-tag arena transports players to the front lines of a high-speed combat zone.

Players age 16 and older are suited up in bulletproof vests and equipped with military-inspired rifles. Each weighs 7 pounds with features like recoil, muzzle flashes, red dot scopes and magazine reload.

The goal was to provide a unique and interactive laser-tag experience, says Jelani Patterson, co-founder of District 57.
