The Battlegrounds

Absolute F'ing chaos. No organization, no supervision. 7 year olds hand picking guns and nerf bullets without order or ensuring safety equipment issued. No instructions no staff? Like Lord of the Flies with projectiles

My boys love The Battlegrounds, and I love to take them there. It's a great environment for pre-teens and young teens. They run around, they have fun shooting each other (for whatever reason, lol), but safety is a top priority so I don't worry about them getting hurt.I play gel blasters when they do that, because it really doesn't hurt and we all have fun. They like the airsoft too, even thought I don't do that. We don't do Nerf because my boys are too old for that, but their Nerf play areas are cool.They guys that act as refs do a really good job teaching and keeping things fair. And their process is just like an amusement park. Organized and clear and helpful.Def recommend.

Two different maps, the town and the warehouse. Town was good, warehouse was lousy, cluttered and too many gaps and openings to get shot from. Refs were professional and polite and kept games fair.Rental guns were actually pretty good. If I have a gripe it is that the prices are a bit steep. Most places that charge $25 allow you to play all day. Here, you get a 3 hour window. On the other hand, there was minimal downtime between games so you got some value.

Would not recommend. Will not return.We traveled roughly an hour and a half out at the recommendation of a friend. It did not live up to the hype. Several factors led to a rather lackluster outing. We'll start with the pros: One time fee ($5) for all day air tank fills Actual referee staff was friendly and helpfulUnfortunately that's where the positives end. Expensive field fee (~$35) for a day pass Poor map design. One team was almost always spawn trapped. On site technician staff was friendly, but unhelpful "Briefings" were short, or non-existent Objectives were uninteresting, impossible, or absurd. Every match was essentially TDM. Management (anyone not actually out on the fields) was snarky, tone-deaf, disrespectful, and all around very unprofessional.Our group was constantly getting split up because (in a very loud staging area) we couldn't hear that a "briefing" was starting and were denied entry because we weren't present to listen to whatever drivel was presented. Worse yet, management was mocking when we expressed concerns, and I was told that if we were late again, we would be denied entry to any match for the rest of the day. $35 is quite a hefty fee to sit in the staging area and wait. We decided to cut our losses half-way through our paid-for time and just pack up and leave. We won't be returning.I don't understand the glowing reviews for this place. If you go here, you'll leave at best, indifferent. At worst, angry and frustrated.

Great place! Overall, great experience. Well organized staff created a safe environment. Owner very friendly and you can tell he has put a lot of time and improvements to the place. Armory well stocked with informative staff. Great afternoon for families and friends to enjoy.

I'm writing this review to give this place the recognition it deserves. My son went to two Nerf birthday parties back to back at the Battlegrounds today (what child wouldn't love that, right?!) He had such a great time & all the employees were so great with the kids. I wanted to write a review though to emphasize how great the owner is. My son misplaced his favorite hoodie at the first party. It wasn't until the second party was over until he realized it was missing. The owner noticed him crying & how upset he was. He took it upon himself to go & grab him a battlegrounds hoodie & give it to him to make him feel better. What a guy! I didn't catch your name but your small gesture made a little boys night! Thank you Battlegrounds! We will be back!

Awesome place! The employees are friendly and informative! They want everyone to have a great time! We had a group of 10 and we had a blast! Our plan was to play all day but after 7 hours us old folks were done! Thanks to everyone there and we will definitely be back!

I have been here a couple of time now and each time I return I have fun yet I leave angry. The game itself and the maps there are amazing. The facility really sets the mood. They are also strict with their safety which help with possible injuries. Their rental guns and materials are nice quality stuff and not cheap stuff just to fit into their budget. However, some of their staff are not the greatest. The last time I was there we had told this ref that this one player had been shooting us from two feet away and kept shooting us after we declared we were hit among other rules he broke. When we told the ref he said he'd handle it. He did nothing. We told him about it again and he mention that he was a regular and that he knew that rules. He was playing favorites. I had finally had enough after the third time and ended up not playing anymore. Don't get me wrong there were other staff there that helped me and assisted me in what ever I need and were nice. It's just sad that it seem like every time I go there is always that one employee that happens to be be rude and mean about things ( different employe each time) also rental and entry for all day is $60 which is outrageously expensive

We had a great time for my son's 16th birthday. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was a little tricky, so carpool if you go in a group. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

I don't do this, my kids do. And I'm sure they could go on and on about how much they enjoy the air soft arenas. But from a parent perspective top notch quality staff. Hands on helpful I can't say enough good things about the staff. I assume that's top down. You could make a day of it. Drop off the kids, head on over to the Waterfront some shopping, then pick them up on our way home. Everyone's happy.
