Zombie Outbreak: Live Action Zombies, Laser Tag at Aurora Venue

In the fall, they serve up Halloween scares at their Basement of the Dead and Shattered haunted houses, ranked No. 1 in Illinois by Haunted House Chicago.

Now, the business has branched out into even scarier territory: a zombie apocalypse.

Zombie Outbreak Chicago, a tactical laser tag venture, opened recently in the Basement of the Dead location at 28 W. New York St. in Aurora.

The business, open Fridays and Saturdays, gives guests the chance to fight off the zombie horde with either live action zombies or iCombat tactical laser tag gaming.

This Friday, Zombie Outbreak will celebrate Friday the 13th with "Jason Voorhees" himself making an appearance.

Zombie hunters can still book playing times of 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 p.m. Players and teams must make reservations in advance. Reservations can also be made by calling 630-896-2466.
