Paintball

Paintball is a good activity that can be done indoors or outdoors. In a large metropolis like ours we are fortunate enough to have a lot of choices when it comes to this activity. Plenty of warehouses and empty fields have been transformed into paintball battlegrounds. I will talk about 3 of the most popular ones that I was fortunate enough to visit and a fourth that is next on the list.

#1 Sgt Splatters
Sgt SplattersPros: Large field in a realistic setting (cars, multiple storey accessible buildings). Good players which makes for good competition and good games. Half prices every monday.

Cons: Area much, much darker than photo suggests. Blinding spotlights. Poor referee, teams always imbalanced.

Location: Midtown TO mapof.it/sgt+splatters

#2 Eastie Boyz
Eastie Boyz PaintballPros: Good location for the western suburbs. Decent light over the field. Good referee trying to keep teams balanced.

Cons: Expensive! Non-realistic battleground, those McDonalds playpen inflatables are completely ruining the atmosphere of WAR. Poor ventilation - it's a sauna inside. Weak weapons.

Location: Etobicoke mapof.it/eastie+boyz+paintball

#3 Paintball City
Image not availablePros: Half price pretty much daily before 6PM. Friendly staff.

Cons: Looks a little too dark on the battlefield.

Location: Etobicoke close to airport mapof.it/paintball+city+toronto

#4 Paintball Nation
Paintball Nation TorontoPros: To be tested

Cons: To be tested

Location: Mississauga mapof.it/paintball+nation+toronto


Now anyone have $300 so I can buy me a cool AK47 replica paintball gun???

AK47 paintball
Oh baby!


Cost: Around $30-50 rentals for everything (4-hr playtime). At least one of the above is always featured at half of those prices on groupon/wagjag/buytopia.
