A little expensive for paint but all around fun time. The fields closed at this point but it was very fun to play there. read more

Chesapeake Paintball - Paintball Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Appears this business is closed. Drove by 2/8/25 and everything, everything, has been picked up taken somewhere. Found a news article from 1/1/25 that had the fire department putting a fire out on a set of stairs in one of the maps. Address 3064 Yadkin appears to be dun. Too bad I did think it was great paintball facility, lots of maps. Refs ran good games and kept the pace moving. read more

Perfect isolated location yet easy to drive passed the fenced entry point. Battle high impact or low impact in the woods, industrial settings, and inflatable competition style courses, though biggest battle could be the Smell. It's BAD, like being trapped in a garbage truck, especially on a hot August Sunday. We went for a friend's birthday party. Unpleasantly surprised by the lack of organization and bait/switch up-sell, not to mention hundreds of people NOT physically distancing or wearing masks while sweating/spitting/cursing. Not throwing shade to diverse paintball subculture, just sharing dets. Genius business plan (aka DON'T BE FOOLED): lots of young people (cheap labor) "running" the place, minimal upkeep/cleaning, party provides inconsistent loaner guns that constantly need attention (jams/CO2), with ammo for 1 lone round (12 kids to shoot 35 times ea) assuming none get dropped on the ground, then ALL subsequent ammo MUST be bought from paintball site. "Party space" was a metal trailer (hot box) in full sun. Young party chaperone was inexperienced but did try his best to please the group. Didn't see an adult employee until the very end. Porta potties are the only restrooms. Plenty of parking. Remember to wear loose fitting long pants and sleeves. Overall, it was a unique experience that several party-goers liked. read more

The place has changed since my last visit but for the better. The smell though, that could go away. They picked a nice spot for this with a thick woods, inflatable course, and conex boxes for days along with an old bus and plywood houses to add extra confusion. I would set the level of difficulty for the following courses so you know what you're getting into: Urban - Beginner/Intermediate since you can advance at a decent rate and surprise the opposing force. Woods - Intermediate/Experienced since there's a tower out there with low cover on the side. Speedball -... I wouldn't know, Pro more than likely since the folks that go inside that arena of splatter show no fear with the flurry of balls zooming towards them. The staging area is covered with picnic tables and the setup with your rental and such is okay. I imagine that the place may be a bit of a headache when all the pro's show up with their random things they use to store their gear. Some pulled up with what looked like luggage as if they planned on checking in to stay the weekend. The staff line up regular deathmatch style play at first so noobs can enter without being scared off. But about mid-day, the regulars may show up. That's when you shall brandish your armor, or the layers of clothes that you may think will protect you. The secret to this is to wear something loose that way the ball will need more pressure to smack your skin. If you go out wearing some workout gear that's snug, prepare to regret it. The next day you may have a nice reminder of what not to wear when you notice some nice sized welts. But, they only sting a little so don't be worried! Once the deathmatches stop, they break into scenarios such as Capture The Flag and your typical team style matches. At the end of the day, turning your used gear is easy. Just be sure to bring a change of clothes with you and a jug of water to rehydrate. Best of luck to all that partake in the paint extravaganza! read more

Came here for the second time for the "Zombie Thrill Ride" but it's sad to say that I think I'll take a hard pass on this next time. Last year, I came here the night before Halloween so the lines were incredibly long. Came here using a Groupon discount so I didn't mind it much. The large crowd was lively and so were the workers. The ride itself went by pretty fast but half way through the ride, my paintball gun jammed. Came here again this year for the Zombie thrill ride. This time my group and I decided to come here on a night where the lines weren't so long. We also used Groupon again so the price wasn't so bad. However, despite the short line ... the wait seemed to go on FOREVER. I think this was due to only having one "hayride" open. It was also a lot less lively and there was honestly no "thrill" to the ride and the ride itself only took about 10 minutes or so. On the plus side ... my gun did not jam but for the wait and money ... I don't think the zombie thrill ride was worth it. Gotta still check this place out during normal hours :) read more

Definitely isn't in a super ideal location for a paintball field, but definitely provides a fun time for beginners and experienced players alike. The paint is a little annoying with how brittle it is but other than that I can't really be super picky. read more

This place was incredible. I got 12 tickets on Groupon for a total of $46! The staff was great, they allowed our group to choose the field they wanted to play in and make their own rules. My husband and his coworkers had an absolute blast here!! We will definitely be coming again! It's completely outdoors, with a pavilion area for parties. I recommend wearing a few layers as the paintballs can be pretty painful when they hit you. Usually people know this when they play paintball. I wouldn't take younger children here to play, but it's a great place for teenagers and adults! read more

I will be honest with you, I have gone back and forth about this place in my mind. But it turned out to be a positive experience...it just took a bit to get to that point. CONS: 1-I was very frustrated with whoever returns the phone calls. Beyond frustrated actually. Poor customer service. I purchased the platinum birthday package for my daughter and spent over 450.00 with the initial purchase. I had questions and concerns and I can't tell you how many times I called the business and left a message...I got one call back. One. The second time I spoke to someone was because someone picked up the phone and answered. The person on the other line did not apologize for their lack of communication. They are only open on the weekends right now, so I couldn't even visit the business and talk to someone because no one would be there and, in this case, the party was just a few days away. The concerns I had were allergies, since I purchased the package that provides for the food. (One of the kids in my daughter's party is allergic to chocolate.) My other concern was shelter. It was calling for rain and the temp was 50. I didn't want the kids running around for several hours, in the rain, with no shelter or place to change. (End result, they provided vanilla cupcakes without chocolate icing and they don't have an area for shelter, so I was able to change the day of the party to the following day.) 2-Their website says they have a birthday bunker for the birthday kid. They do not. They need to take that off the site until they can provide one. With the lack of communication, I didn't know what to expect for the party. I was so tempted to cancel it, but I couldn't. The business has a time restriction and we wouldn't get a refund. The day of the party, my son got sick, so I sent my husband to the paintball place with everything in hand and what we expected/paid for, just in case something went wrong. I was ready for bear. Lol...The gentleman I dealt with ticked me off so much that much. Heck, I was already writing a scathing review in my head for YELP, but then came the PROS. Literally. PROS: 1-They were great with the kids and treated my daughter like a beautiful princess covered in mud and paint! LOL...Jamal was the kids referee and he was AWESOME! His excitement was contagious! 2-They were mindful of the chocolate allergy for one of the children and provided everything they said they would and beyond. (Leaving out the birthday bunker) 3-They were all around attentive to the party as a whole and made sure every need was provided for. 4-The owner apologized for the lack of communication to my husband. As I already stated, I was home with a sick child, but the owner went the extra step and called me personally to apologize. He didn't need to do that. 5-The courses they have are great. My daughter and her friends like the one in the woods the most. The second favorite was the speed round. It is now a full week since the party and it is still the talk of the class and the parents. A number of the children are going to have their parties there and the dads are talking about just them getting together and having fun. The excitement from the party is still going strong. I am so glad my daughter has this wonderful memory for her birthday. I would give this place 5 stars if the person I had initially dealt with had a better attitude. My suggestion, hire someone part time to return phone calls that is customer friendly. Some people are not customer friendly and there is nothing wrong with that, unless you put them in the position to deal with customers. read more

This is for the Zombie Thrill Ride. If I hadn't gotten the Groupon for this, I think I would have been a little less impressed for the whole experience. Went last night (Friday 18 Oct) and the line to get in was pretty long. We waited approx 1 x hour and had to enjoy all of the smoker's smoke. Then as we got up to the ramp/window area to get the tickets, a group showed up and cut in front of us. Maybe if the company put some lanes up with some "do not cross" tape or something, it would be a little more orderly. That took the first star away. Next they divide you into groups of 20. They put you on a tractor-drawn two-story trailer which has pistol-style paintball guns mounted to rails. For the Groupon it was $22 for two people and 50 x paintballs per person. Bought an extra 100 x paintballs so we would each have 100. That was another $10. Looked like they had 3 x tractor-trailers going. They had one down once we got up there to board but I think it was due to some compressed-air issues for the paintball guns. That probably contributed to the latency. They haul you in a big loop around the paintball "city" and then stop three times to let you engage the Zombies. My 8 - year old had a great time and went through his ammo pretty fast but got some enjoyable hits on the zombies. The zombies are lumbering, rushing, running, crawling, and show really good acting skills when they get hit! Either they had really good padding or just like to get hit with paintballs, but my hat is off to them, thanks! My tip for the zombie thrill ride is probably plan on getting at least 200 x rounds per person, the zombies go down and react to your hits but there are so many targets, you can definitely light them all up with 200 x rounds easy! I had extremely high fire-discipline (of course) so I pretty much made my 100 x rounds last through all three waves, and gave the last few rounds to my kid since he was firing at the rapid rates! Overall a good time and worth it. If the wait wasn't so long and the actual ride so short and a little better control on customers in line (no cutting, smokers go somewhere else to a smoking area instead of standing right there with everyone), it would have been a 5 - star experience. We will probably go back on a regular paintball day sometime to check it out. read more

Paintball on two levels: 1) This is serious. Let me spend $100 on paintballs and speed shoot you with my $1,000 gun with my extra thick and special paintball clothing. (Not me.) 2) This sounds like fun. I sure hope I don't get hit. Wow, that dude has $1,000 paintball gun. I hope he's on my team. (The rest of us.) This place is in the cut. I didn't drive so I wasn't sure of my surroundings. A GPS will steer you in the right direction. It's off the beaten path in Chesapeake. When you arrive, you'll find what appears to be a trailer park. There, they have everything you need. Facilities: - Check in and sign your waiver on their iPad - Rent your gear, buy extra paintballs, get extra gear (like a jacket) unless you have heavy clothing - Prepare to play in their picnic area. Here, you will load your gun, increase your gun pressure, and strategize a plan that will not be carried out in the field. - There's a speed shoot area with lots of inflatables (my preference if they would just let us shoot each other) - You can play in the woods. Yeah, I don't like getting dirty. - They have an open field with old trailers, dirt mounds, and various blockades (we played this several times) What's cool is that they have different scenarios: teams playing against each other, capture the flag, protect your soldier, etc. After the second scenario I forgot that the place smelled awful. Combine a rainy, humid day with the woods and wearing enough clothes to make you sweat like a pig. Tip: Wear heavy clothing. Although it will be hot, be sure to get covered. Paintballs hitting you do sting (not very hard), but certainly leave a bruise. read more

Went paintballing today for the first time, had a blast! I went with 19 others from work. I will definitely be coming back...I am hooked! read more

Chesapeake Paintball - Paintball Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We went here for a birthday party. Granted it was raining and cold...but the kids didn't care. I wish they had some sort of a fire pit for the winter days. It was about 10 kids in the party. All was going well HOWEVER, their masks kept fogging up...so in return instead of telling the children not to shoot if they couldn't see...a child inadvertently just starting shooting all around and my son got hit in the back of his head and neck, which caused a lot of pain. Now this was a party with 9-10 year olds so I understand how it could have happened. With that being said...if they have a party for younger children...I really think they should have full helmets to avoid injuries such as this one. I signed a waiver but I think just knowing the age group...better equipment should have been offered. Not to mention they forgot to get the cake for his friends birthday party but offered candy instead which the kids loved. Overall, it was ok and the kids had fun...but I really wouldn't recommend coming here if it's raining with children. And although they say they play rain or shine...one of the hosts said the reasons some of the kids guns were getting jammed and not working...was due to the rain . If you have children here that are younger than 11...I wouldn't recommend it unless they have full head gear. I won't be back. read more

I went to Chesapeake Paintball the first time about a year ago. I thought that it was easy to get signed in quickly and ready to play. Other fields sometimes have you wait forever before you can play. I went with a few friends. The staff was very friendly and even helped my buddy fix his gun while he was there. Overall I thought the fields were fun. We played the airball field, woods fields and also my favorite the urban field! It was intense. I have been back 5 times since. I can't wait to go again when the weather gets warmer! read more

Had a blast at Chesapeake Paintball for my son's birthday event. It started out great, got a little rocky as we had to wait so long to even begin play when we paid in advance for the party, but then after the encounter with our ref Splash he helped our crew get back on track and have one of the best experiences ever with paintball. He was able to get us access to each field that we wanted to play on and offered different games we could play on each field. He would thoroughly explain the rules and answer all questions anyone had. We did have a small injury with one of our younger ones with the first impact of the paintball and Splash tried to help in every way and continued to check on him throughout the remainder of our play. He showed great concern and empathy for our child and encouraged him positively to keep playing. Great job Splash!!! We will be back to this location for sure!!! The only cons I have is that we had to wait about thirty minutes before we were even taken back for the instruction video and the fact that I wasn't offered the VIP prior to booking my party. Other than that it was great!! If you do plan on booking a party I would inquire about becoming a VIP member first. Good luck to everyone out there and if possible wear long sleeves and long pants. It takes away from the sting of the hit. read more

Great experience for my sons birthday party, did the basic package for 300 ended up buying 2000 more rounds along with grenades and smoke bombs( I would save your money on the grenades tho). We had our youngest 11, our son 15 and his friends along with adults of all ages who enjoyed their time. The guide/ref was awesome, and we enjoyed all the courses. Watch for the speed round, it will eat up your paintballs. We probably did about 9-10 games,wore out all the kids and got our workout in too. We will def be back! read more

A group of 14 of us heading here to go kill some zombies!!!! Got the groupon for 2 people, 50 round of ammo each for $19 monies. Can't beat that. Get there early and I mean early early early! It started at 7 and we were there at 730 and waited for 1.5 hours to get to the kiosk to pay. I felt like I was at Busch Gardens waiting forever. Once we got to the window we showed our electronic waiver and bought more ammo. $16 for additional 200 rounds. Hell yeah! Spent another 30 minutes in line to board the double decker tracker. I got to go on the top and it was pretty cool. The guns are bolted down and can't move all too well. I get the reason for it to prevent people from shooting each other but it would have been cool to be able to hold them for easier shooting. Surprisingly we went through all the ammo. And it was a good time. Just super freaking long lines. read more

ZOMBIE THRILL RIDE.... so much fun!!! However, very short lived. Spent a lot of money for about 10 minutes of fun. I used a groupon Plus had to purchase more paintballs for the ride. The ride was over as fast as it began. Wonderful concept Just poorly executed as far as time to play is concerned. read more

My son went for a birthday party and said he had a blast. He said it too alittle to long to get ready but for the most part he enjoyed himself and says he wants to go back. read more

"Zombie Thrill Ride"... Hot garbagio. Solid 30-45 minutes in line for a total of about 1.5 minutes of shooting. Once you get to the front of the line where they onboard, it is an absolute mess. They asked us probably 5 times whether we wanted top or bottom, then they moved us to 4 different places in line. At one point we were told to stand off to the side, then told to get in a single-file line. Then when we finally get to go on, the grown ass man signaling to board is yelling at paying customers as if we had any idea of what was going on with the lackluster crowd control. The unlimited paintballs is a sham, there are 3 sections to shoot in and they fill them up after each section. You could purchase the smaller amount and be fine, there's like 4-5 zombies in each section and they just stand there so you're not going to be excited about shooting at much. I guess I can kind of see what they're trying to do here but it's really just not there. If you find a good Groupon where you can pay next to nothing and get the cheaper paintball amount then I guess it's okay IF it's a first time experience, otherwise don't waste your money. read more

Perfect paintball place. The speedball field is very good and the tournaments are very well controlled and made. The woodsball/xball fields are pretty good too offering lots of cover and even little motor homes you can go in and battle in and out of. The staff makes it very welcoming and helps a lot. Not sure about the rental equipment but im sure its good. One of the best paintball places i know around me. read more

Whereas my son really enjoyed the experience at CSP Paintball, my experience as a parent and handicapped customer was TERRIBLE. I paid $300 for a basic birthday party, plus I bought $100 worth of extras. But here is what happened. I parked my new, black Cadillac coupe in the handicapped spot and my Escalade next to it. My car was covered in paint that had sprayed through the mesh. I realize I was at a paintball park, but it would have be logical to have signs that said if I parked there, my car would be covered in paint. Worse still, is that when I went to the service desk, the girl at he counter laughed at me for complaining, so I asked to see a manager. His name is Phillip Shay and he was not only rude, but he actually got in my face as if he was going to fight me when I recommended they put up a sign. He is a terrible representative for the company and if I were the owner I would fire him. He never tried to understand my complaint and even poured water on my new car and wiped it with a dirty cloth. I will say the Trevor was a great rep and did a great job helping me. read more

I have called them at least 6 times over the last three weeks trying to set up an event leaving a message every time, then called the parent company and had them request for them to call me back and still have yet to get anything. read more

Went with a group, got terrible service. Took over an hour to get our equipment, then there was no one at the fps check station so we had to bring that to their attention. The games started and the time between each was ridiculous. We decided to pay extra for a private referee, which we were promised at 330, but didn't get until a little after 4. Definitely would not recommend for a big group. Terrible customer service. read more

I would recommend zombie thrill ride it was great fun everyone who worked there was very friendly and nice we bought the comando package $26 200 rounds of ammo which we found to be plenty cool tee shirts to $15 a piece or two for $26 so we each got one I did not notice any bad smell or experience anything that was not positive great fun for kids and adults thanks zombie thrill ride for a out of the norm Saturday night read more
