    Mini-bowling! 12 credits per person, automatic bumpers for children, shorter lanes and smaller balls.
    Courtney H.

    The sign does not match the interior. I had no idea that his was an arcade and laser tag establishment. I just read the "Buffalo Battleground" on the sign and assumed it was an army apparel shop or a gun shop. Walking through the front door there are the arcade games and mini bowling to the left. My 4 and 5 year old had a blast mini bowling and we played a few arcade games after. There is also laser tag, axe throwing, and a bar and restaurant toward the back. Ticket prizes were expensive and of course like every arcade, kind of lame. One small one piece of candy was 50 tickets. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back again for mini bowling.

    Showed up at around 12:30 pm on a Sunday. There was hardly anyone there, and we got there at the right time, as the Bills games was starting. The set up on how to play games is a little confusing. We went for a half hour of snook, which is a combo of soccer and billiards, and 40 credits. It came to $20.00. There was a $10 fee for the snook and $10 for the 40 credits, which we got for mini bowling. The person at the counter explained things well. There was a party of children just finishing up and we hardly encountered them. Snook was a fun game. Would be a lot more fun with a couple more players. You can play in your street shoes. For mini bowling, you had to swipe the card on the lanes, and it is 12 credits per person to play or $3.00. The games are 5 frames and extremely fun. You can also play this in your street shoes. We had a few extra credits to use up and played a shooting game, which was fun, and skee-ball, which was also fun. The one lane didn't work, and we got what we payed refunded, so we could play the one skee-ball lane that worked. This is a fun place on a wintry day. Check it out. I'll be back to try out their axe throwing and laser tag. It's a little pricey, but good entertainment.

    Had the best time!! Ive been wanting to do Hatchets & Hops for the longest time. Didnt know it was offered here until both locations for Hatchet & Hops was either closed or booked. Buffalo Battleground popped up as they offer axe throwing as well. I just always assummed this place was for kids...it is not-yes the arcade and maybe laser tag seemed like it was VERY kid oriented but the axe throwing was not (you have to be a certain age anyways to participate) Reserved a group of 9 online, they required a $80 deposit...paid the rest at the end of the nite when we got there. Walked in, was greeted and instructed how everything would go. They went over the Covid protocols. Yes you must wear a mask while throwing...same rules as bars/restaurants-can remove when seated. The instructor went in depth how to throw and gave us tips along the way. Practice rounds then there was a bracket competition. I had the best time and will be back again!!! There is a full bar to grab drinks. (I just came from dinner so I was not hungry) You must order food with drinks due to state laws right now BUT they offered a pretzel stick for $1....which was very tastey! Overall, I was very impressed with the directions and order the instructor kept!!

    When I say don't judge a book by its cover...this place doesn't look like much from the outside, but when you walk in its a really nice place. They have an arcade, which can use a little more games. We ordered some food and played some arcade games before laser tag session. All the food we ordered was really good. Only thing is there is no free refills for drinks you have to pay an additional dollar. We ordered our tickets online and signed the waivers ahead of time to avoid the wait. The laser tag here is 10 times better than Lasertron. We all had a blast. It was also a good workout the sessions are 1 hour long with about 5 to 10 minutes of instruction time. Will definitely return soon.

    Came in for axe throwing! The staff was so professional and helpful it was very fun! The facility was extremely clean. There is so much to do here! Perfect for a night out of innocent fun! Definitely recommend this location!

    I purchased a Groupon to try laser tag at this place, and everyone had a great time. The place is huge to run around in, and compared to Lasertron everyone agreed BB is waaaay better. For starters you only need to use a headgear/headband here instead of the clunky vest, and the gun is much lighter. *Be advise the props are real here compared to the plastic set up at Lasertron so I don't recommend for little kids. The Groupon was for an hour. At one point someone in my party needed to use the bathroom and they didn't cut our time short even though there was another group waiting. Side notes: - even without the Groupon this place is still cheaper than Lasertron so I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're looking to play laser tag. - they've a hallway near the bar/food area for parties with a coin operated foosball machine.

    I was able to try out the laser tag today after a recommendation from a friend who had been here for airsoft. Once ready to play we sat in on an instruction video with a kid who seemed less enthused about his job. In the arena the kid gave out the guns and picked the teams (which did not seem random at all) and did 7 against 5. He claimed this was fair because the two extra on the other team were kids. This entire game our team of 5 was killed back to back every time. I honestly don't think adults have any advantage in this game against 10 -12 year olds After the first game that we lost by a lot they did not switch up the teams despite us clearly voicing how we felt it wasn't even . We also felt the equipment was not reading a lot shots. I would clearly be a foot from someone shooting them and nothing happened. It just seemed really one sided which took away a lot of the fun in this activity. Just comparing to lasertron I'd rather go back to lasertron instead on Battlegrounds. They seem better organized and at least the teams are randomly selected. I did find the feel of the place cool and definitely a fun spot for kids since they have a Dave and busters type arcade inside.

    We went yesterday afternoon for a group outing to play laser tag. This place was definitely not what I expected, in more ways than one. From the road this place kind of looks like an abandoned warehouse, not much going on. When you get in though you'll quickly see this couldn't be much further from the truth. Arcade games everywhere, mini-bowling, and even a "bar and grill" await you inside. After seeing the facilities, I was much more excited about playing laser tag, thinking it would be a great experience. This is where I was wrong again. We get into the briefing room to watch the instruction video and talk to the referee and it just couldn't have been more clear he didn't want to be there. I get that not everyone is excited to be at work on a Saturday but this kid was clearly miserable and made no attempt to hide it. We went from the briefing area to the arena and he randomly picked our teams for us. We were allowed no input and he stacked the teams 5v7. Why we couldn't play 6v6, I have no idea. We then proceeded to get absolutely slaughtered for the next 5 games or so (I was on the team with 5) while the ref sat in a corner and texted paying no attention to us. Seems like it would have been a good idea to mix up the teams at some point, but I guess that wasn't in the cards. At one point he did switch up game modes to play something called domination that involved shooting boxes and controlling zones on the battlefield. Problem was that half the equipment didn't seem to work. I'm usually pretty good at games like this (aim wise) but I couldn't seem to hit anything. At one point I shot 30+ bullets into one of these boxes from maybe 5-8 feet away and somehow didn't capture it. When we complained about sensors not working we were just told by the kid refereeing to aim better. Overall this wasn't a great experience and I probably wouldn't go back for laser tag again, hopefully the air soft thing is more fun? I gave them a 2 at least because they had nice facilities and the arcade games looked fun, although extremely expensive.

    My friends and I get together on a monthly basis and do a fun group outing. Each month a different member of our group plans the event, and this past event was laser tag here. The arena was really cool- definitely a step up from your basic Lasertron principle where you hide behind little pillars. And what was really cool is that each game has an objective, so you are not walking around just trying to storm the other teams base. I was lucky and ended up with two little kiddos on my team as well, they have energy that I do not know at this ripe age of 29. It was $18 for multiple games (I think four?) and was very worth it. The only problems I noted were some friends guns and head pieces malfunctioned. Tips: Fill out the waiver online before you go You're gonna wanna strip down to base layers. It gets real sweaty up in there. They also have air soft!

I hate to write a bad review of any business, but the staff demonstrated a fundamental lack of care in my opinion. I am not from the Niagara region. A friend recommended NQ to me, and so I used their Airsoft part ordering service. This process took a couple months, with an extreme lack of communication. My friend would frequently contact the staff, and they would consistently not be aware of the status of our products. Apparently their parts "person" would not be in, and they would not maintain consistent contact with him. NQ would never give an ETA, citing problems at the border with the United States. When the products finally did arrive, we made the hour or so trip into St. Catherine's. Little did we know that the parts were not even ordered for one of my friend's guns. I handed over mine (CYMA M14 and KJW M9) to be fitted with a new barrel and hop up, and my friend gave his Desert Eagle to their gun technician. They then proceeded to tell me (after a week or so) that the hop up replacement was not necessary and that the barrel did not fit. They did not have access to my guns. I get that. But if they did not know something, they should have asked. I still got charged $25 for labour and my friend's gun was worse off than it came in. In terms of selection, NQ is not bad. However, DMZ does get a G&G shipment each month. I would place an order with them and get guns with them instead. I understand certain things take time, but I was never informed of the delay and was never questioned if parts would fit. They still charged me $25 and told me "this stuff happens". A fundamental lack of customer service.

I drove 2 hours back to the store with the rifle to demonstrate how things did not "line up" and to do so would damage the bolt thus voiding the warranty (PTS Radian Model 1). Their tech (Calls himself "The Witch Doctor") took it out back to confirm. He did, but his poor weapon handling drills engaged the mag release causing it to hit pavement, breaking the feed lips and he pretended like nothing happened. Regardless, it became my problem as they refused to rectify the situation. Ordering online from them makes Aliexpress seem like Amazon Prime, but as a medically released Canadian Forces veteran, I had nothing but time so the commute to the store became a regular thing and I always made large purchases. This is just one of many issues I've had in the years I did business with them, my mental state was just not in a good enough place at the time to know any better. The only good thing I can say about them is that the store actually does have a great selection of rare items, but they ruin that fact by lying about stock on their website.

The product I ordered was listed as "in stock," but after placing the order I was informed it was actually discontinued and unavailable. Instead of issuing a refund, the merchant attempted to push a replacement product. I clearly requested cancellation and a full refund multiple times, but my requests were not addressed. Communication became increasingly poor, and eventually the merchant stopped responding altogether. No item was ever shipped, and no tracking information was provided. I was left with no choice but to open a dispute with my payment provider to prevent further charges. This lack of transparency, combined with poor communication and failure to process a refund, made the entire experience frustrating. Based on my experience, I would not recommend ordering from this merchant.
