- Dave K1 contributionGreat fun. Definitely not just for kids!Had a group of 10 of us running around like big kids. Played laser tag, games were great and the guns and headbands worked every time. Big advantage that it doesn’t hurt when you get shot!Visited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 23 April 2023
- Karol S1 contributionGo if you want to have fun!!It was without a doubt the most enjoyable and pleasant event I had in a long. The staff was incredibly helpful and always willing to assist, even if it meant taking a paintball to the arm. One of the staff members, Leo, has assisted us with setup and game marshalling alongside other staff members. I had a great time.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 September 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a great time, Leo the instructor was great, 100% recommend. Book directly so save money and get free paintballs. We used an agency and ended up paying nearly double.

Hi. Thinking of booking for 10 people but wondered if that meant we would be pitted against strangers or paint balling amongst ourselves? Mixture of adults and kids but one kid in particular is very nervous about playing against strangers.

When we visited with for our son’s birthday (group of 10 teenagers) they were mixed with another group of adults. I was a bit concerned as they were in their 20s but it was fine.

Thinking of having a splatball or lasertag party for my sons 11th birthday. Just wondering if anyone can advise, with the splat balling do you get enough pellets included in the initial price to cover the 2 hours? I've heard the pellets are expensive and as its quite pricey to begin with I'm worried might end spending much more. This is why I'm considering lasertag as obviously the ammo is then unlimited. Any advice appreciated

We had a party for my 12yr old. No extra splats were needed, and we had over excited adults in the party. Lots of fun and enjoyed by everyone!
