Laser Quest has been a staple of Canadian childhoods for 27 years, with locations all over Ontario and across the country.

The chain had briefly reopened during Stage 3 in Canada, with enhanced cleaning measures and physical distancing.

Laser Quest has one final message for its customers:

"As we bid farewell, we at Laser Quest want to thank each and every one of you for your support throughout the years."
