Where can I find paintball / airsoft days out for ten year olds?

stevieboy11

Number one son has his eleventh birthday just after Christmas and wants to go paintballing - anywhere I've checked seems to be for 16 years and over so airsoft was suggested as an alternative

Looking for a day out for 6 - 8 ten and eleven year olds no further than about a 45 minute drive from Jordanstown

Any suggestions welcome as ever

Thanks

Could try Trigger Happy Airsoft in Belfast, near the Park Avenue Holywood Road.

There are 2 in Bangor also if you do a search, one is Combat Elite War Games, can't remember the other !

I took my daughter and a few of her friends to Airsoft in Dundonald when she was 12. It was us against a few grown men dressed as the SAS with their own kit who took it very seriously -it was a massacre -and airsoft does hurt believe me!!!.

May I suggest lazerqest or a gentle game of 10 pin bowling

Mark and Rolo, thanks for your replies. I contacted Trigger happy who told me that the minimum age was twelve and that it was quite painful - they suggested Laserquest instead

Big son did Laserquest for his birthday last year, hence the attempt to move to airsoft. Doesnt want the lasers this year so I guess its back to the drawing board for birthday ideas

Anyone got any for a soon to be 11 yr old boy?
