Laser tag is best for children. It’s safe and kids have a blast using our outdoor laser tag gear. Parents need to know about the nature of paintball and decide for themselves whether their particular child is mature enough to participate in paintball. Paintball does come with some degree of pain when you get shot, so kids need to be up for it. To assist you with this decision, please contact our friendly staff members at (855) 901-PLAY for further information. Our knowledgeable staff members will gladly answer any of your questions and provide you with advice that will help when making your decision.
Paintball is one of the safest sports and statistically has the least number of injuries of all sports – which include baseball, bowling, fishing and many other sports. As with any other sport/activity, there is always the potential for injury. As long as standard safety rules are followed and the proper use of industry developed & approved safety equipment is utilized, paintball is one of the safest, participatory sports in the world. Our staff over sees all games and makes sure all players are safe and having fun!
