Apex Entertainment in Destiny USA Closed Indefinitely

Apex Entertainment Center inside Destiny USA is closed, and will stay that way indefinitely.

The decision to close came after three $1,000 fines were levied against the establishment for not being in compliance with COVID-19 regulations.

County inspectors witnessed people bowling without masks, playing laser tag and tables with more than 4 people, according to Syracuse.com.

Company spokesman Rob Luzzi believe they are being unfairly targeted andsays the decision to close was a corporate one. "Essentially, if we’re going to get our chops busted, it’s not worth it,” he told Syracuse.com.

Apex Entertainment Center reopened its doors in October 7 after months of staying closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. They first openedopened in March 2019, featuring over 55,000 square feet of fun. In addition to the multi-level, New York City Laser Tag Arena and hyper-realistic VR and target practice, there's bowling, bumper cars, updated classics and the newest gaming innovations in a 70-player arcade.

There are several other Apex Entertainment locations in New York state and all are still open.
