We did not know what to expect going into this place. We were looking for something fun to do to cheer up my daughter. Groupon has a special 2 players, 1 hour, $17 dollars. They had mentioned you can bring in your own rival style guns and masks. We came in to a wall of nerf guns. Yes, you can rent the big daddy ones that are automated! The ref's play games with the kids and dived them into teams. Protective eyewear is a must as well as a safety vest. Music is pumped into the arena. Large boxes serve as barricades to hide behind. My son has promised A's to come back. read more

My daughter and I were invited to a birthday party here. We didn't know what to expect because we'd never been to anything like this before. Upon arrival, the clerk was attentive and let us get used to her nerf gun before the game began. The games were fun and we had a great time. read more

Foam Warz - Indoor Playcenter Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

The website is misleading. The smell is overwhelming due to having everyone take their shoes off. The guns were overpriced and jammed constantly during our 1 hour session. We got the "highest shelf" for 2 of our sons and they had issues the entire time. The referees were unprofessional and did not have a plan during the entire session. It would be useful to have timed games. read more

My friend works there and it was really fun playing with the workers and him!!! If you like taking off your shoes it's a place for you. its 3 dollars for drinks. you can upgrade your Nerf guns it's really fun. read more

A $400.00 charge for a child's birthday party. -A 'party room' with questionable health practices in regards to disposables provided (especially in a pandemic era). -Seemed to be little to absolutely no air conditioning in the 'combat' areas. -No air conditioning, it seemed, in the entire building. The 'party room' was sweltering as well. -Worn out darts that fired half the time, leaving more time spent to seek new/stiff darts and unclog gun jams during actual 'war' time. -Of course I'm far from a foam war pro. However, I expect more than, or at least additionally to other obstacles, stacked, painted boxes as part of the war area. I could stack boxes that are free and make a war zone in my back yard. The boxes would be free. I could purchase 1,000 nerf darts for about $50. They would function properly. My backyard is not air conditioned either, but free. My kitchen as a party room, would offer clean disposables, that are protected from guests' touches, sneezes, coughs and everybody's Covid concerns- considering every ($400.) party is offered the same, unprotected stack from party to party. I hope this young business can be as successful as possible. But, I will not contribute to their income any more than I have. For what we received, I feel horribly gouged. read more

This place is fairly new. Pretty great concept. They have 2 arenas where kids and adults can shoot their nerf guns. They have blocks that you can hide behind. You wear either a yellow or an orange vest (maybe it's what team your on?) and safety glasses prior to entering the arena. Each arena has a referee. You can bring a nerf gun from home and use it. Each admission gets you a free nerf gun to use. An upgrade (better gun, holds more bullets) can either be $5 or $8. Check this place out! Who doesn't like to shoot nerf guns?! The kids will love it the concept. Parents, you'll love the fact that the kids will be worn out after playing here! I know we will be back here again! read more

There's not a whole lot in terms of the "Arena", but it's getting five stars simply because of the "Refs" (the people who were working there that night). From the minute we walked in they were so welcoming and just wanted us to have fun! I didn't play but brought my nephew to cheer him up as he was having a pretty terrible day. We stayed pretty late and it was Valentine's Day so all of the other players had left for the night and my nephew was the only player left in the arena with an hour left still to play. With no opposing players left the "refs" decided to join in and made my nephews experience so amazing!! We will definitely be back, these people love what they're doing and it shows!! read more

This is a great place for people of all ages that have a lot of energy. Admission and basic gun are reasonably priced, the referee for the games is always interactive, and there are massage chairs for the people who don't want to play. My crew always have a great time and beg to come back! read more

This is a super cool concept! I took 3 kids on a weekday. It's $8 each person. With that, we got an hour of play time and a 5 shot revolver type nerf gun. You can upgrade for more powerful guns all the way up to automatic 250 ball guns. You can also bring your own gun(s) to use. No shoes in the arena, so I suggest wearing socks. The arena is filled with paper covered cardboard boxes to be used to hide. These boxes are very easily knocked over as they aren't secured by anything. There are bullets to be used all over the floor. It was ample space to play for the 4 of us. However, as kids showed up, they were added into the same space. At one point, there was at least 30 kids in the arena. They separate everyone into 2 teams, and it ended up just being a madhouse. I would say they max amount of people in the arena should be 10 with the size that it is. This would be better if it were as big as the laser tag arenas around town. read more

Worst customer service EVER!! Paid $53 for 2 people for 2 hours & discovered quickly that the air conditioning was broken - on a 95 degree day in August. Literally drenched in sweat within minutes & were told "the air is broken, sorry we didn't tell you that". Asked for a refund & were told no, asked for at least a voucher to come back another time when the air is working - nope. The poor employee felt so badly he offered to Venmo us the $53 out of his own pocket while the owner sat in his office refusing to do anything at all to satisfy his customer. Totally ridiculous, this guy is a rip off artist, don't patronize his business. read more

Our experience with foam warz has been great until yesterday, and we will not be coming back. I been taking my son and his friends there since before covid. They no longer have discount Thursdays and upped the prices... Charged 34$ for 2 kids to play in a arena for 15 min... When we go there, there was a church group there , they left 10 min later and the staff on duty walked out the arena and sat behind the desk, left my kid and his friend in there . They wanted to leave, as we left he said " we should've came earlier"... Mind you it was hot and muggy inside, felt like no ac was on... My experience before was the staff is always inside arena referring a game of any sort... Soooo disappointed!!! read more

Pretty fun for kids, staff are friendly but it is a bit chaotic with lack of clarity of the rule.

We had been to Foam Warz in Lexington before and had a lot of fun. We even had my 11-year-old's birthday party there last spring. But this time was very different. I tried very calmly to explain to the girl at the desk what my concern was about our game on the way out. Instead of listening, she got incredibly belligerent very quickly and even though we were on our way out, told us to leave! The problem was that we had some kids in a different group who were not following the honor system and acknowledging when they were hit. There is only so much one referee can do in this case since there are obviously lots of places to take cover in the room out of his/her direct sight, and one person cannot watch every kid at once. Towards the end, we were being more vocal about the situation, and the ref warned two of the other people that if he caught them not using the honor system, he would sit them out. All I said to the girl at the counter was that it got pretty un-fun after a while when the other players were not following the rules, and that perhaps they needed to have two referees in there, even though it would increase overhead. I wasn't even asking for a refund. I was literally just trying to share our experience. She glared at me and was so rude in her tone and words with me that we will never ever go back. After spending $100 for five people and upgraded guns, I expect to be treated better than that. Again I was not blaming the referee or even the company. I was trying to make a suggestion. Just an acknowledgement of the bummer of the situation would have sufficed! I was literally just trying to share our experience. This young girl needs a lot more training if she's going to represent a company! read more

We visited about a week or two ago and loved this place. However a friend of mine had a birthday party for her kids here and we both did not like how you don't have a host. Every place we have attended for birthday have a "party host" that will be will you the whole way so that the parents can relax and enjoy the party as well. My friend was so busy running the birthday she missed out on many things for her sons party. I will not be having my daughters birthday here for that very reason. We will be trying the trampoline parks since they host and make things 10x easier. Other than this one issue this is a fun weekend activity for the kids but don't waste your money on parties here. read more
