My son wanted to play airsoft for his birthday. I was nervous as I have read that sometimes is can be intimidating for newbies. Then I found Battle Lab. They were highly reviewed so I looked them up. We booked a private party and booked gel blasters (they don't hurt) the refs Sebastian and Rob were super cool and patient. Alex who works the bar was really on top of everything too coordinating food, drinks, and cake. The kids had the private room for 3 hrs and they had a blast, played several rounds, and now want to go back. Thank you Battle Lab for such great service. Warning- there is no a/c in the gaming area, but they took plenty of breaks and iced water was refilled endlessly. read more

Battle Lab - The bar where you can order food and drinks. Food was good! - Airsoft Near Me - Ontario, California

My brother and I are a frequent visitor to battlelab yet the referees and staff working today were beyond disappointing. I don't understand how you host a 90 degree field with no ac and show slideshows on staying hydrated but when I go to hydrate the fountains are turned off? You can't even ask an employee for water and ice. Kitchen closes in the afternoon and you get hotboxed and surrounded with other players. There are also signs for no outside ice chest.......so what are players supposed to do when thirsty? I want to acknowledge the one employee Evan who realized my brother and I were sweating and overheating and gave both us water's complimentary. Someone give him a raise as the other employees simply wanted to me to buy bottled waters individually. If you plan on spending time here with friends or maybe hosting a party prepare to deal with heat and no way of relieving your thirst. read more

We came here to celebrate my son's birthday with a group of his friends, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing--especially considering how much money I spent to have his birthday here. At one point, I caught the manager yelling at my kids in front of a group of other customers, demanding to know why they had left their equipment on the counter by the desk. First of all, no one was even at the equipment desk when they went to return it. More importantly, we were never given any instructions about the proper equipment drop-off procedure. When I addressed this with the manager, he told me that someone "should have" given us instructions. Well, no one did. The young referee was apparently expected to referee the games AND handle the equipment desk at the same time. That alone shows how poorly organized and understaffed this place was. There was also another incident that really bothered me. At one point, staff approached my kids and asked if THEY were the ones who had vomited on the field. From what we observed, they did not go around asking the other players--they specifically approached my kids and seemingly assumed it was someone from our group. I found that incredibly inappropriate and embarrassing for them. What bothered me most was the way the manager chose to handle everything. If there was a misunderstanding about where the equipment should be returned, he could have simply explained it to the kids respectfully. There was absolutely no reason for a grown adult--especially a manager--to yell at children and embarrass them in front of other people over a procedure that his own staff failed to explain in the first place. I spent a lot of money bringing a group of kids here to celebrate my son's birthday, and I expected, at the very least, basic organization and respectful customer service. Instead, we dealt with inadequate staffing, poor communication, my kids being unnecessarily singled out, and an unnecessarily rude and unprofessional manager. For a business that regularly hosts kids, groups, and birthday parties, I expected much better. Spending that kind of money only to have my kids singled out and publicly yelled at over the business's own lack of communication was completely unacceptable. We will absolutely not be returning, and based on our experience, I would not recommend this place for a birthday celebration. Addendum in response to your lies: Of course you would lie. No accountability on your part. My kids and their friends were not breaking any rules. If they were indeed breaking rules, for 3 hrs your staff did not address this with me? Strange. Only because it didn't happen. My kids and their group of friends are the most kindest, honest, and respectful children. Can't say the same about you, your staff, and your organization. read more

One of the worst airsoft experiences I have had in 14 years of playing. The ref was useless and let players cheat on camera and not care about it and barely explaining game modes. Multiple new players to Airsoft that showed up left after one game because of the ref not doing his job and catering to the cheater. When problems were brought up they kept saying they would handle the person cheating but did nothing with 3 games being the cheaters last warning. I was also told that they can't rewind any of their cameras so he couldn't pull up the cheating again. read more

10/10 indoor field, friendly staff, FPS of 400 or below allowed, owner is a chill guy and the manager is dope too. If you play indoor but aren't used to dark fields I recommend buying a flashlight, this map forces you to stay fluid, very little spots to stay still Only "con"- they do not allow you to use propane if you use it on gbbs, you will be asked kindly to buy green gas nextdoor (reasoning: could set off firealarm) read more

All the parents were super impressed also, they all asked how did we hear about this place. The staff was awesome--super helpful and friendly. The food was great too. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable birthday party! read more

I found out about this place on Groupon. They have a deal for 3 players for their virtual reality lounge for an hour, for about $60, when the normal price would be $120. Being such a good deal, I made sure to snag 2 hours' worth. Not only do u get the game play, but you also get an entree and a drink per person, per hour. More on that later. When you enter from the parking lot, you walk right into the store. If you keep going straight, it takes you to the BB gun arena. And if you make a left halfway thru and down the ramp, it takes you to the Arsanal Bar where the 2 VR lounges are. Yes there's 2 lounges but it would've been better if there was separation or a wall for the rooms. Fortunately for us there wasen't another group. So we had both sides all to ourselves. Our waitress who was also working the bar was super cool. I didn't get her name. But she was super helpful and attentive to us. Helped us with how the groupon worked. Had free reign to make my soju inspired mixed drink, and it was amazing!! Food came out quickly. We had their chicken wings, their sliders, nachos, and mozerella sticks. Everything tasted amazingly. Quality and taste are so much more than what you would normally find in a bar. There are lots of different games to be played in the actual lounge. You can compete against your friend or play 1 player. Lots of seating area. Nice high top in the bqck to stand and eat. Great atmosphere. A little warm in the room. But it was very fun. The 2 hrs flew by like it was only 30 minutes. Going back to the groupon deal. 6 a great deal!! Because it turned out to only be $120 for 3 people for 2 hours. The free food option includes anything on their menu. From fries and mozzarella sticks to sliders and the more "expensive" things on the menu. And in regards to the free drink, it includes sodas, beers, and even mixed drinks!! So for $120, we got 6 entrees, 6 drinks, and 2 hours of play. 100% worth using the groupon!! Had a great time. It was fun. Literally had a blast!! The food was really good. Great experience. It's definitely a nice date night idea!! Or just hanging with friends. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Got a group together to go play Airsoft and this place is closer than Tac City so we decided to go here. Also we saw it had a Resturant and Bar so we brought along my wife. When we get there they don't tell you online that the Resturant and bar is not open during the week, only on weekends and there is no where for spectators to watch. So my wife just had to sit in the car and wait. Cons- 1. The field is so dark and is so close quarters that it's like a maze. If you have never played there you will get lost. We played 6 games and still got lost and found dead ends. Some hallways dead end and leave you stuck in a corner. They put 5 players that have never played before against a team that seems to play there every week. That did not turn out well since we were lost until they shot us way more times then you should be (these players were there to hurt people). We even told the ref that something needed to be said to these players but 1 of the players was a ref that was off the clock. 2. They make you pay for the Airsoft but also you have to pay a 1 time fee ($15) for a pack that tells you fps of your gun (which those same local players didn't have on their guns) 3. They lock you behind a metal door and even after the game you have to wait for the ref to come unlock the door to let you out. Seems like a fire / saftey hazard 4. Tables in staging area are super small. Pros- None at all. Will take my business to Tac City. Much better set up. This place will be out of business in no time. Even faster when Evike (airsoft store next door) realize that this place will give them a bad name even though it's a separate company. read more

Booked a group package for my son's 12th birthday! It was our first time for our boys and they were super excited. This place is awesome! It's clean and everyone working is very nice. They took care of us, and took the time to show the boys what to do. The front counter guy was very knowledgeable and because I ask a lot of questions, he answered every one and was very patient in explaining. The boys Referee was really cool too. Since he was inside with the boys while they played, I also asked him questions, and he also made me feel comfortable. Felt comfortable and safe the entire time we were there. I also have to mention that the store is REALLY REALLY COOL!! Thank you Battle Lab!! I totally recommend this place!! read more

I'm taking a star off cause recent experiences have been pretty mediocre. Staff is still exceptional and everything is professionally run. Which is great. Keep things as is on this end. But recently there's been a noticeable uptick in cheating, players not following game rules, and friendly fire just cause they don't bother using IFF. Really wish more was done about that. read more

We hosted our son's 13th birthday party here and it was EPIC. All the boys and the dads had a great time. The ref was accommodating and my husband was impressed with how strict they were about the safety rules. Do be prepared if you are going during their open hours. There are a lot of men that show up that are very prepared and this is obviously their passion/hobby! The game can be intense so make sure your boy is prepared!! read more

Good airsoft field. The refs were good and the players were very friendly. One issue was the heat, but that's not the fault of the field. It did interfere with me and my group's experience, however. We ended up leaving early because of it. So come prepared if you plan to come during the warmer months. Visibility was also very low on the field, which impacted our play experience as well. So once again, compare prepared with flashlights or other visibility options. They do have a small bar/restaurant connected to the field which is very convenient and a nice place to break from your games. There's also the EVIKE Outpost connected to it as well, which was very helpful in resupplying our group. All in all a good field and a fun experience. read more

Drove half an hour out on a Friday to airsoft just to be told that the field doesn't open until 5PM. Their yelp page says they open at noon on Fridays. Battle Lab apparently expect people to check multiple sites for due diligence since only google displays the correct hours. What an absolute waste of time. Shows how little they care for patrons' time since they can't even bother to make their socials consistent. As for the field, the experience is nothing special/innovative. Per my last visit, field is dressed up to appear as if it deserves the higher entrance fee, but at its core it's the same as every other field. Some of the game modes they rotate in are cringe/unfun and you're forced to waste time playing them. You can honestly get a better experience with more meaningful playtime for less money at somewhere like N1. Unfortunately, yelp said that battle lab was the only place open early so I made the mistake of deciding to come. Now that I know that their hours are similar to everywhere else, I will not be returning in favor of better fields. read more

This is my favorite SoCal CQB airsoft place. The community is great and cheaters are shunned appropriately. The primary refs Mario, Frank and Nick are always great and do an excellent job of creating fun scenarios and taking recommendations on game types. A real effort is put into keeping players fair and punishing players which are either cheating or being overly aggressive. The refs here really take this place to the next level. For anyone new to airsoft, try going on a weeknight it's less crowded and the matches tend to be more forgiving. Edit, I read a few other reviews on the refs and felt this needed to be clarified about this establishment. Airsoft is a relatively dangerous sport, players can abuse their guns and cause serious injury to another person (intentionally or unintentionally). The refs do an amazing job at enforcing safety practices. It can come across as harsh, but it's extremely essential. The last thing you want is a fist fight, mag dump, or a miss fire accidentally hitting someone in the eye. I haven't witnessed anything close to these scenarios at Battle Labs and it's a testament to the refs. read more

After careful consideration, I decide to post my experience , after only visiting three times . Some of the staff are friendly I give Nick the ref and Mario 5 stars for their service including Jennifer. Frank can be nice but can definitely ruin your day by being an ahole especially if it's your first time and your inexperienced in this arena since they have so many rules regarding engagement distances I believe he could handle himself a bit more professional and empathetic rather than being oppressive towards new players . Lots of favoritism as well. The reason for the 2stars is for the following reasons I called on June first to check out their specials for the month and I was told by Jennifer that it'd be better to come in to take a picture so I came in the next day and did so . On June second I came in took a picture and was excited for the BOGO offer so I sent it to my co worker and he sent it to his friends and we made a plan to meet up the following Tuesday to take advantage of the deal. The day of! We come in and they changed the schedule ! And I was upset because we all came thinking there was a deal . Yet Management messed up because they had no tickets to give us and wouldn't give us a voucher or any type of credit for making a mistake which wasn't our fault but their own . Yet they wouldn't honor their deal yet the young lady at the front counter insulted me by asking me if I even came in during the month and I showed her the picture that I took on June 2nd she called someone and they didn't care they just said sorry we changed it up because we don't have any tickets to honor it . So as a patron how is that my fault? They should have at least made an effort to make it right . Which made our group upset that our friends ended up driving home keep in mind we live an hour away. They need to have a post on the calendar and online (schedule may change at any time for any reason etc) As the night went on it only got worse there was only one ref who sticks inside of a little room and no one in the arena . Which leads to utter chaos! When you have players breaking the 1 second burst rule and going full auto on you and the refs do nothing about it. Neither is there a ref in the game to make sure it all goes smoothly. There was an incident that night as well. when it was time to leave we where literally being kicked out and pushed out the door the ref wouldnt stop rushing us to leave and go home and it wasn't even ten yet. That by far made my night worse because I was being rushed to get out as if I wasn't welcome which definitely left me a bit salty. Won't be coming back here neither are any of my friends after that night. Unless I'm offered a voucher to come back, To make up for their mistake As of now I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone especially if your new to airsoft . So much potential here and hate to see it go down . I also lost a gernade Inside one of the towers and it fell in between the crevices. I never got it back even after leaving my info. And I also got my foot stuck . Very unsafe especially for kids spot needs to be sealed correctly (tower with 2 staircases) read more

The refs really great and everyone was really nice. This field actually felt like a real cqb field as it really had some tight close quarter fights.

Let me preface this review by stating this was my first time playing airsoft in 13 years. This was my first indoor CQB experience. This is the first time I played at Battle Lab. Things I liked in my visit: - Great community. Players all seemed nice, wide variety of ages, and even a few moms and dads getting into the mix with their kids. I thought that was fun to see. - Organized well and fairly clean facility. Parking lot lights could be a little brighter. - VERY nice and accommodating staff - Lots of games! They run 2 rounds, reload/break for 5-8 minutes, then run 2 rounds, etc. - Nice to have Evike Outpost right next door for supplies and gear. - Awesome work out. Bring a towel (sweat!!!) and lots of water. Even on a chilly day outside, you will get hot while you play. It was cool. Not the experience I was expecting or hoping for, but it was entertaining. Definitely a great workout! Holy hell I was dripping in sweat. Games were going off quickly so lots of time to actually play. Staff at Battle Lab was great...very nice, easy check in, refs seemed cool yet had a handle on stuff. Special shout out to Brittany at the front desk for the nice welcome and smooth registration process. Mario, the ref on duty at the time, was also great. Super welcoming. Happy to explain things to me as a newbie. Overall, those two were great. And great employees really help make a business stand out. They had a few different game modes. Some where cool (infected!) some really sucked (VIP). I do wish there was a playlist or order posted. I also would have loved to have more games of just plain old team death match. Couple things I, personally, did not like. It's really dark in there. Almost dangerously dark. Maybe it's my old ass eyes. I would have loved to play a few games with at least dim lighting. But, I also didn't know the map at all. Which brings me to my next point. The map is a damn maze. I mean, I ran in circles numerous times in the same game. I guess this is more on me and my inexperience but the first 3 or 4 games really sucked cause I had no idea at all where to go or what paths lead to where. I almost left after those first few games because I wasn't even shooting my gun. I didn't even see anyone to shoot. Just confusing and frustrating. Refs and others referred to areas of the map by name (China Town), but there was no labeling/signage anywhere and there was no diagram of the map. If you don't know the terms, you just have to kinda follow and hope you are going the right way. It's super loud. Music is so loud that you can't hear people call hits. That leads to over shooting. The music is cool and it's a fun vibe. But, honestly they should turn it down a little. Would also like to be able to get some audio of what's happening on the field ..hard to communicate with your team (or even the enemy, for that matter) and multiple times people were shot point blank rounding corners. If people could hear others coming (to an extent) it would probably lead to less issues with MED. I saw a few issues with that and even I was shot point blank in the gut with a rifle, while dead and signaling! A thing I did like was that the ref was on the PA during the game, helping it move it along. He would caution the arena if a group of 'dead' were walking to the 'dead box'. He would also come on the speaker if he saw someone hit and not signal. Another suggestion though - turn down the volume of the PA. It's so loud that you almost can't understand what he is saying. Lots of guys playing at one time. The field isn't huge and at one point we played roughly 15 v 15. At some points you couldn't even really maneuver or do anything because every spot had a gun pointing at it. Dead people getting shot, lots of friendly fire. Frankly, it's just a cluster. I understand why they don't limit the size of the games, though. Only one field...and who wants to sit out? No one, of course. And, of course, you still have the age old issue in airsoft of the people who just don't call hits. I had three guys in a corner on a flank and killed them easily, this guy walks into the same room with his back to me. I shoot him 2 or 3 times (semi auto, even though both guns I used could go full auto) and he turns around, to which I shoot again, and then proceeds to shoot me 3 times. I call my hit. He continues playing. Allllllrighty. Between the amount of gear this guy had on and the loud music, he could feel or hear the hits. Still, not sure how he doesn't know but I don't blame him. All in all, it was entertaining. I do think that with just some more experience, some of my negatives would be less of an issue. I will go again a few more times to really get a good feel for it. The community and other players were really cool for the most part. Very easy to talk to others and a cool range of ages. read more

We played death match first round then kill confirm the second. We would go back again read more

This airsoft place was fun. However, I do not recommend going here.if you haven't gone airsoft before or have gone a couple of times or are a beginner. Do not go here if you are just beginning unless you are with a private party and are all beginners. Otherwise be prepared to be mixed in with players who are regulars or are far more advanced and have better equipment. And it seemed that the refrees did not really regulate when players can have their airsoft rifles on fully automatic or semi. This airsoft place is for the far more advanced close quarter combat players. Beginners be aware! Just a recommendation for this place set aside time for different level players. But I guess that is why you have private parties. read more
