Visited for my daughters birthday. Kids had fun, they enjoyed the zip line and rock climbing. My boys enjoyed the games. The one issue I had was, many of the games were out of order. The food is also extremely over priced, I would never pay $5 for a bag of chips.... I did enjoy their lychee and rose wine cooler. Also realized I didn't need to pay, because I did not join in on any of the activities. Now I know... I'd go back

really cool spot to visit in Brooklyn especially if you're a Brooklyn local & want to do something nearby! Check out Groupon for discounted tickets before purchasing on the website / in person. Be prepared for a crowd (even during snow days) on the weekends. I came at 11am & an hour didn't past before it was crowded. Though there's plenty of space and activities to have fun. Also, shower after your visit; I'm not sure what the cleaning process is but there are a lot of people in an indoor space , sweating & not a hand sanitizer dispenser in site !

Ropes course

Fun place to spend a few hours if you haven't been already. Went for adults nughtlm a Thursday evening, so it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. There were no lines. Did the ropes course which was attached to the Zipline. Played some arcade games, some of which were out of service. Climbed some structures and ate some dippin dots. The journey to get there by train included a walk through the neighborhood which was an eye opening experience. This is an interesting place to check out if you are looking for some thrill.

Laser Tag @ 16 yr old birthday celebration for my son was Awesome...great set up & service. Great neighborhood. He bought 13 friends & everyone had a great time

Party Room package private area
Kisha V.

Came for a party. This place is extremely fun for all ages. They have the kids area for 1 to 4 years old. And older. It's arcade games throughout the area which you have to purchase a card for an additional fee. The private party room package is a good size with 2 large tables for around 16 to 20 guests. You get to bring your own decorations and decorate the room according to your theme. I honestly didn't enjoy the food. The pizza was very blah not tasteful. I enjoyed it for the kids and pre teen. They had a blast. Great for kids party.

Do you HAVE to be 12 and up to play the paintball or could you be 9 and younger?

Hi Max! Thank you for reaching out. Our recommendation is that from 11 Years old & Up, but, with… 

Are you excepting walk-ins?

You can do Walk ins but it's better to reserve since when you go there they might not have enough space for you to paintball

Went here before a company paintball outing, My co workers and I purchased some items from them the…read moreweek of the event. The guys that work here were really down to earth and such a nice bunch. Me being a female and had never gone paint balling before i was really nervous, they tried to ease my nerves about the whole game on paint balling (which didn't help much at the time) but i really appreciated it. They are not there to hard sell you or try to sell you a whole bunch of things you didn't need and i respect that. Since I was a first timer they convinced me to rent most of the equipment the first time to feel out the sport, there was no point in spending money on equipment that i may never use again. Ironically I ended up loving it so will def be paying these guys another visit to purchase some of my own stuff for my next trip. You can tell that they love what they do and it shows. We actually ended up running into the staff at the paint ball facility that we went too, they were involved in a speedball tournament that was going on and oh boyyyy these guys are good. More about the business: They sell/Stock paintball guns, looks like they also repair guns, refill/sell canisters, paint ball apparel, looks like they make custom team shirts, large selection of mask. Could be missing a couple of things but this is the place to go.

Hot Spot Airsoft - Intrubuster Gen 2 10" Barrel Extension

I have been a marksman for over 50 years, having experience with everything from pellet and BB guns…read moreto pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns; and won many trophies in tournaments. A short time back I purchased an "upgraded" Umarex TRS 68 from Hot Spot Airsoft. The first time I tried it out - I applied an Umarex C02 into the handle - I then put it into a secure case so I could set up a target. 2 minutes after placing the TRS into the case - I heard it either fire on it's own or blow a seal somewhere or both, without anyone touching it and it had never been fired by me before. When I contacted Claudio, his exact words were that this was "IMPOSSIBLE" and that he performed the work and tested every item before it left the store. I now find this very difficult to believe. Claudio instructed me to ship the TRS 68 to him (at my cost) and that he would inspect it and let me know what could be done. A short time later, Claudio contacted me back and told me that for a fee, he would repair the item and ship it back to me. Claudio let me know for around $70.00 he would repair the TRS 68. When I received the TRS 68, I attempted to insert an Umarex CO2 into the handle and twist the piercing cap. Now, the piercing cap will not pierce the CO2 at all. I tried several times - with different but new Umarex CO2 cartridges without success. When I emailed him about this final failure - he actually had the nerve to tell me that I must have inserted the CO2 upside down. Really? I now have invested around $500.00 into this paperweight - which is now useless. Do not trust the owner of Hot Spot Airsoft - as I discovered he performs shoddy repairs and will never admit to his mistakes. Claudio upgraded the TRS68 and then "repaired" it and it still failed. You know how the old saying goes "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Buy a new airsoft from a legitimate company or the manufacturer, that has not been tampered with by an unqualified operator.

I first became aware of Hot Spot Airsoft by watching their YouTube videos, showcasing their various…read moreproducts. Irritant/Kinetic co2 launchers (stock & modified), parts, accessories, co2 and more, Hot Spot Airsoft has everything needed for the hobby. Acquiring a Mercury Rise Intrubuster Gen 2 this past March, an extended barrel was on my list for parts to purchase for it. The only option available was from another YouTube content creator, with a premium price attached to it. Waiting till hopefully more options became available, Claudio at Hot Spot Airsoft, posted videos on his prototype barrel extensions for the Intrubuster Gen 2, which he 3D prints individually and were testing for upcoming rollout. After a few videos, he finalized the design, a 10" & 6", and gave an introductory price for the first 50 customers, which was almost half the cost of what the other YouTube content creator's barrel extensions were. I quickly jumped on the early bird promo, and soon had my 10" barrel extension in my possession. The 10" barrel extension is simple to install, and my Intrubuster Gen 2 has now had a devastating power boost. I'm quite happy with my purchase, especially when utilizing the promo for the first 50 customers. Unfortunately, Hot Spot Airsoft's physical store for 30 years caught fire and has been permanently closed. Fortunately, however, they still do website & phone sales. Email communication has been met with quick responses. I chose UPS for shipping, and the shipping time was about a week. If you're looking to get into the airsoft/co2 launcher hobby, Hot Spot Airsoft has got you covered. They have great prices on stock and modified launchers, along with everything else needed. I'm looking forward to see what Claudio comes up with next for the Intrubuster Gen 2, and would happily do business with them, again. Highly recommend!

COUSINS STATEN ISLAND…read more Place opens at 9 I rolled up around 930. Saw 2 cars and 4 pre teens waiting with a dad. All I could think was "This is gunna suck".  I get dressed and loaded up, headed to the sign in. All day play was $30 and 2000 paintballs for $65, I was reluctant to pay because of who I saw outside but I said fuck it, I'm already out here let's roll. I got my gear and went to the Rec area. It was a decent size and 3 refs were already prepping 3 separate private parties, the Walk On's as we were called were huddled into the tented corner of the Rec area, seasoned Ballers know to find the shade immediately. I went over and said hi to 5 people. 4 of which were veteran of the game and one first timer. His name was Rob aka Pancho and he had a pump gun along with a Luxe 2.0($1,600). We were put right into a 3v3 game with the first timer on the opposite team. This is where I felt like a complete dick and I blame the paintball fields we've been to for it. I wasn't truly aware of the power that the Empire Axe has, I had the gun on ramping and I lit the guy up in the back with about 10 shots on honest mistake. He was highly upset that I had ramping on in a 3v3 especially against a First timer. I couldn't apologize enough. Because of how shitty skirmish has been, aggressive play was my only mind set. Throughout the day I saw Seasoned Ballers recognize their situations of WHO they were playing against and the DISCIPLINE they used because of the skillset they were playing. I met another kid named Keith, 17 years old. I saw an opportunity for him to destroy some kids bunkered down. I urged him to attack and he said "I know I can get them,  but I want them to have fun for a little bit." I realized then that I was playing at a field that was not only fun but respectfully passionate about the game. It sucks that I came off as a dick right off the bat but as time went on I was becoming accepted into the fold. The refs are FANTASTIC. They thoroughly made teams fair CONSTANTLY. Mixing and matching Rental/mechanical markers which electro markers to make every game fair and wow, what a difference. As time went on people started piling in. By Noon, there had to be 40+ walk on players ready to play paintball, it was a beautiful sight. Majority of the players were NOT new and exercised the same discipline and friendly atmosphere without making the games boring. Every match I played in was fun and challenging. The fields are quite decent. Some maps were small but others were of good size. The cover is a challenge. Lots of pallets and downed tree brush, but I like that in woodsball. Lots of terrain deflation made for interesting hill cover. Refs CHECK for ball breaks like surgeons. Recognize splatter and real breaks. Calling for paint checks was never and issue. It was an amazing paintball experience.  I left at 130pm and guys were still COMING IN to play. When I left I said goodbye to all the walk ons and all the players I played with cordially said their farewells, get home safes, and pleasure playing with yous. I shot about 1000 paintballs today and that's not like me. I was REALLY into these games. And I can bring the other thousand next time, they wont try to jam me up for different colored balls like Skirmish. Going to ABC Paintball, Top Gun Paintball and now Cousins Paintball has solidified for me that Skirmish is a gold mine that's a huge gimmick. They charge people $160 to have their pictures taken in front of a fake ass tank and run around NOT paintballing but just WREAKING HAVOC. I have no interest in going to Skirmish probably ever again. 2 hours away for terrible and overpriced paint and refs that sit there and do nothing, I'll be at Cousin's next week.

Great fun playing and reffing everyone i met playing and working are all great people and all…read morearound a great community to be in.
