This was such a great day out, there was 7 of us and we had such a funny time with the lazer tag. All outside lots of running around a great guns to use with sound affects that kept you on your toes. This isn’t a neon inside experience you really felt like you were playing tactical air soft. Our host has loads of great games for us which was brilliant as we wouldn’t know what we were doing, the place was massive. We will definitely be back for more birthdays. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Great fun day out. Our group had a very varied age range from kids to adults and we all thoroughly enjoyed our laser tag session! Highly recommend!

Took my two boys (13 & 14) for their first paintballing experience. Needless to say we all loved it. A number of different games and loads of little places to get behind. We'll definitely be back

I booked a 90min session of laser tag for 9people as an activity for my sons 21st birthday. Dunk kindly squeezed us in on a busy day and we played numerous games in different areas of the property, supervised by Dunk. Our party ranged from 15 to 71 but we all had the most fantastic time and would highly recommend a visit. We cannot wait to return!
