Overall, Jaegers was a pretty fun airsoft experience yesterday. The field was super cool, but a little small. The space is super unique, and the massive cylindrical support structures made for super interesting engagements. That being said, I think there are a few things that could make it a better experience in the future. The biggest thing would be more slow down respawns, and introduce new game modes. The constant onslaught of unlimited life TDM might work really well for paintball, but airsoft benefits from limited life game modes with revives and/or objective based modes to slow down the gameplay a little bit, especially on a field that small. There was at least one game where my entire team were just sitting in our spawn because we'd all ran out of ammo - hpa, aeg, and gbbr players alike. One new game mode that could be fun and work for the space is a 1 life tdm, played to best of 3 or best of 6, flipping sides every round or 2. It could reset until everyone needs to come off the field and reload. It'd be nice to have a clear sense of who won, and who lost, as I honestly couldn't tell you who won or lost any of the games yesterday. It also didn't seem like the refs were super attentive to the game. There was at least one player who consistently was shining a laser in people's eyes, and kept doing so even after they were told to stop by referees. As I looked through my footage last evening, there were several moments where I noticed the refs were grouped together, instead of spread across the field. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that it was extremely frustrating to have my group be split up for most of the day. We drove three hours each way to come play together, but we ended up only getting to play on the same team 2 or 3 rounds the whole day because the referees wouldn't let us play together, and they never really explained why. This was the main thing we complained about on our way home, and is the main reason we wouldn't want to come back in the future. We are looking forward to airsoft getting to play on the outdoor fields as the weather warms up, and we will be back to try those out. the Fort specifically looks like it would have super interesting gameplay read more

We had a blast at Jaegers paintball complex celebrating a surprise birthday present! Nestled inside of a cave, you can run around and hide behind obstacles while trying to take down your targets. There's an area that you can sit and watch through the plexiglass once you get hit. You can buy a jumpsuit there for extra padding if you'd like to play it safe. Go with a group of friends or family...very fun! read more

Coolest place to paintball! IN A LIMESTONE CAVE!!! Plus, there's an upper obstacle area too ~ with planes, buses, forts & obstacles! Really funny & friendly staff too! Wish there was a more extensive target practice area, where people who don't want to compete, can just shoot. Also wish the common seating areas, for the parents/observers were a bit cleaner. For newbies, like myself, I experienced great comradery & sportsmanship with everyone! read more

This place is the best for laser tag and paintball. I always go here for paintball and laser tag when I was younger.

If three girls who have never held a gun in their lives can enjoy this past-time, anyone can - that is if don't mind a welt or two or twelve. For about $30 you can have a very different afternoon - maybe you want to release some built up tension, maybe you dislike your friend, maybe you want to know what it feels like to run around and play war. Whatever the reason, Jaegers attracts mostly men. As a woman, with my two other female friends, this was a perk for us going in. Kind of like the time I visited Westpoint, I was one in a thousand men, something to remember. But Jaegers is more like a paintball club. Everyone that goes there enjoys the sport to an immense degree - and most are hard right republicans if you can't guess why. I met Dick Cheney's nephew here! Customers can pay to play either on the indoor field or the outdoor field. I never tried the outdoor field, although from the website it looks very detailed and adventuresome, I took to the indoor cave instead. It's a freakin' CAVE - it's like paying to be apart of some surreal experience, like being in a horror movie, or like playing make-believe for grown men, whichever way you want to look at it. I personally became infatuated with paintball as a little girl. My older brother kept his paintball guns and bags of paintballs in the corner of our basement (as if my basement weren't mysterious or scary enough to me now guns were thrown in the mix, along with the Bogey man and ghosts for my eight-year-old mind to envision.) Jaegars provides the protection and the equipment, if you don't already own it yourself, and most of the guys I saw did. The cave had a memorable REAL dank smell and it was deep and dark and winding. I could hear the echoing screams of the players throughout - it was very exciting. As a player, you want to find something large to stoop behind and shoot at those in open areas. If your location is found at you'll want to crawl or run behind another crate or barrel. There are great photos on their website that really show well what I'm talking about in their indoor cave arena, http://www.jaegers.com/. When I was playing, it was like being in a video game - so imaginative and exhilarating - I honestly never imagined myself in the positions I was in, running from the paintballs (that feel like small rocks being pelted hard at you by a slingshot) and trying to take down the enemy. As a girl, I've imagined myself doing all sorts of exciting girl things, like getting locked in a mall, getting a makeover like in the movies, marrying European royalty, crap like that! But ever since my stint at Jaegars, my imagination has been broadened with less gender-specific adventures. After the game we played (my friends and I and a bunch of other strangers that came the same time we did) - we all took off our protections and unarmed ourselves, while talking about it! "Hey, you got me good back there." "My helmet's completely covered in purple!" "I noticed your aim got better as time went on." "Let's play another game!" The community of painballers is awesome and I hope to go back soon with my two friends (the only ones I know who will pay $30 to be shot at!) read more

Overall was great, A lit bit expensive. I hope there was more communication between the refs and front staff. read more

APATHETIC and INCONSISTENT You have to be proactive here to find anything out. They do a good job of explaining safety but trying to figure out where to play is impossible without asking questions. Once we started playing: We played 1 game. Then the ref disappeared, 10 minutes later I went to the desk and ask, "How do we play another game?" They grabbed a ref. After the 2nd game the same thing happened. I ask someone who goes here a lot how long the breaks between games was. He said at least 10 minutes! So I asked an employee how long breaks between game should last. He replied 2 minutes... Once we established that we would like to play a game every 2 minutes the refs started drawing straws for who would ref for us each game, which was fine but totally inconsistent calls on the field. We came here for my sons birthday, it was fun because we chose to make it that way. It just sucks that the employees aren't better trained on basic customer service after the point of purchase has taken place. read more

It was so fun. We did the late night and we were the only people there and had a great time. It was my first time laser tagging.

Horrible smell outside but it's in the caves which wasn't too bad. Staff was friendly when taking your money but then kind of did not communicate after that. Finally had to start asking questions to even understand what was to happen next. The kids enjoyed it...was the first time for my son who was turning 16. All and all was an okay experience but may need to try somewhere else in order to get a real feel for it. read more

Staff was very helpful. The cave map was very unique and well done. Overall a great place to go and paintball. Price is a little expensive though. read more

This place is amazing. They have a lot of fields, indoors and outdoors, and really good/helpful staff.

By far the worse birthday party experience I have ever planned in my 12 years of planning a birthday party. If I could zero start and simply post a warning, I would. Red flag number one should have been when I called a month in advance to plan the party and the person on the other end of the phone had horrific communication skills. When I was interested in making a reservation, he appeared to not understand what I was talking about. I told him that I was planning a birthday party of 10 for my 12 year old daughter at 3pm on a Saturday and I wanted to do the outdoor play because the course online looked amazing. He then recommended that since majority of my group was under 17 that we should do the family package. He went on and on about what foods to bring and I had a hard time getting him off of the phone once he became repetitive and I believed all of my questions were answered. The way he behaved, I would have rather made my reservations online. Fast forward to the party. I arrive at 2:45pm with majority of my guests. I find the checkin counter and tell him that I have arrived for my 3pm reservation. Only then was I told that the outdoor field was up the hill (there was no visible sign stating this). Since that was the case and I had to wait for a few more of the guest, I asked if we could go set up there and if my guest needed to be physically with me once I brought down the waivers to begin. I was told I could go set up and that all I needed to get started were the waivers. So I relay this message to my party and that set the tone of our experience. I get all set up and my entire party up the hill and gather waivers to take back down as I was instructed. By this time it is around 3:30 and now there is a lady at the checkin counter. I tell her that my party is doing outdoor play and I have their waivers. She proceeds to tell me that we can't do outdoor play because it's closing in an hour. THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD OF OUTDOOR CLOSING AT 5PM! The website lets you make a reservation outdoors for as late as 4:30pm, why is that even an option of it closes at 5pm and it is said guest spend 2-4 hours there. Not only that, the gentleman I spoke with a month ago when I TOLD HIM I WANTED A 3PM RESERVATION also NEVER mentions this. Not only does she now tell me we can't do outdoor play, she says that those doing paintball need to present for the safety speech and receive their equipment. THIS IS WHY I ASKED IF THEY NEEDED TO BE PRESENT AND WAS TOLD NO 30 MINUTES PRIOR. By now, I'm pissed. I have to go back UP THE HILL, gather our setup, and gather my guest only to go back to where we started! My party was planned from 3pm-5pm and through all of their misinformation, miscommunication, lack of knowledge, and misleading website, we did not start until 4pm. I had to call parents who were expecting to pick their children up at 5pm and ask if they wouldn't mind coming at 6pm instead. $175 and a migraine later I will never be back to this establishment or recommend it to anyone wanting to try something new. read more

I have a 13 year old son so I'm really familiar with the standard birthday party circuit. Jaegers is a staple of that rotation. If we rate this solely on the fun had by the kids, it's 4 stars (leaving room for... say, something amazing). But I'm not 13, but I did have to pay the bill. And for two hours, I sat in a cave. I'm trying to balance the idea that it is what it is with the fact that, come-on, would it kill you to sweep a little? This place is like spending two hours under the bleachers at a NASCAR race. Sure, fun is being had, somewhere. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff! Had a blast and ending up buying myself a paintball gun since I had so much fun. Natural smell of the cave gave me a slight headache at first but got better as time passed. Will be heading back soon! read more

I have been here 3 times so far and for Kansas City, I have to say it's the best place to play paintball around... as far as the terrain goes. The cave is definitely my favorite, as Colleen waxed so eloquently about. It features undulating mega-beige walls and interspersed natural pillars, some as big as 30-40 ft around (perfect color for desert camo, and the pillars provide strategic objectives to capture, hold, and leverage). The sand-dirt floor is clutter free and perfect for "first-base sliding" although you may get a nice rasberry for daring. There's a nice variety of well-placed cover and concealment objects including barrels, cement walls with shooting windows, and camo netting. As has been mentioned, the earthy smell and 65 degree all year round temperature is a speed-ballers delight. For the equipment, I can't remember exactly what their standard marker is since I always use my own gear, but when my family came once they told me the guns are about average compared to what you will rent at any other reputable field. They only let you use their paint there, purportedly because the giant viewing window that looks into the cave area "will get stained by other colors"... And they charge you an arm and a leg for the paint. I would personally buy some for cheap online or at Dick's (they have some good prices for paint there) and sneak it in. Just remember, they use white paint on the field. The staff there aren't the worsed I've encountered on a field, and actually they gave us a couple of extra games once because all the renters were gone and we all had a bunch of paint left. The old guy at the counter was super rude though to pretty much everyone (at least he didn't discriminate), and he may be a manager there I don't know. In all it's a great setting, but the prices are too high for what their policy's dictate. As an added note, the regulars that come there are pretty legit, leaving the field when they are shot and not taking cheap shots, things like that. read more

First time there today. Great place. My kid loved it and can't wait to go back. It can get pricey but u can check their website for their prices. They have specials for families and younger kids. Excellent location inside old caves!!! Just a great place to have some fun! ( you will need to wash all of your clothes when done and shower as you will stink like the caves!) read more

Please,listen when i tell you, don't spend your money in this place, i spent almost $200 on a paintball gun and paint balls there and when i say after the first game i still hand a gun full of paintballs,i told a staff member and he ask me if i had picked up paintballs off the ground and loaded into the gun, mind you i bought a couple thousand paintballs, no need to be picking them up off the ground, second game same thing,then he says oh it doesn't have any air in it, I go to the front desk to inform them of the situation and the owner tells me he isnt responsible for the gun not working, please find somewhere else to spend your money,you deserve it. read more

I am a regular at Jaegers, and can tell you from 6 years of experience at jaegers that the staff is incredible and so is the facility. Almost every time I've gone the staff have been incredibly nice and have assisted me with gun repairs and playing in general. Both parts of jaegers paintball are great, although the cave does smell like limestone. Personally I wouldent let people that over dramatize their experiences deter me from playing at this field. Even if you are a brand new player the staff and even other players will show you the way to becoming better players. read more

I bought 2 markers from Sam in the pro shop. If you want knowledgable, friendly service, this is the man and jaegers is the place. They give you 4 free months of field time., doesn't get better. Jaegers wants all players of all ages and skill levels to have a safe time, and a fun time. read more

I dont know if this place has changed since I last went. Hope so. I went with a group of friends for a birthday party. We had never been there before. We were novices and did not know the lay out. I went in the cave with my group of friends and battled with a group of commandos, some of which whom worked there. We naturally got pummeled with paintballs in roughly 8 minutes. Then went home. Not fun, total rip off. Total bummer for my friend on his birthday. read more

Used to love taking my kids here every year. They no longer do Groupons so it is not worth what they're charging

My husband & I went for our bday with friends & had a blast! It was our first time & I didn't realize how HOT it would be in there. Just remember, this is the caves so the smell outside & inside is not that great. read more

First off let me say I have been playing paintball off and on at Jaegers since the first month they opened in 1994. I will continue going to play at Jaegers paintball because I have had great experiences and fun there. I would normally give Jaegers 4.5 star rating. Our rather large group goes 2-3 times a year to play and no problems. BUT last time went like this: 4/29/17 We had a 6:15pm reservation for 17 plus players. We expected to have our own course like we have had for years. This time they said we had to play the "Rental" course with other players. Ok, not what we wanted but could be fun. No one even walked us to the course "it's in the back" they said. True to their word it was in the very back. The course was bad and very poorly lighted on one side of the entire course. The playable field was half the size of a small field to start with but we figured we would try it. The ref was nowhere to be found. I had to find a ref to ask where our ref was. He said he was the ref, ok cool. Let's play. The ref was awful and then one of they players said he worked there and ref'd so he was going to lead. It was a difunctional mess. They kept adding players to a already to small course course till it was total chaos. One of the groups that was there left because they said it was too crowded and getting to dangerous to be on the field. When the ref's started to get snippy with us and was playing on the course as a player and ref, we went to management. They said sorry, and got us a new ref and private course. New ref was great but we only had a game or two left to play. We had a few new players and I did not feel like they got the best experience at Jaegers. They offered a free box of paint on our next visit. I'm not saying that was not enough or I expected our money back but as a business man I would have given all the money back and plead for another chance to make a great paintball experience. That's it, we left. Everything that was written on this review was told to the manager. read more

This place was awful. We bought a package deal at PBTevents.com only to find out that we still owed money once we got there, 30.00 a player to be exact. I take my group of 10 yr old boys in for a birthday party to the family area------MISTAKE. We had 1 ref for a group of 20, he wasn't even paying attention. The kids were shooting less than 20 feet, kids were getting hurt coming out crying. It was just dangerous, not enough refs for the area, it was dirty and nasty, and a bunch of young kids running the place who could care less. I WILL NEVER go there again, I honestly feared for the kids safety so we left. We hardly used any paintballs and got screwed on the prices. It was a joke!!! Don't waste your time and don't take anyone under 18 in there, to dangerous. read more

I am 13 I go there all the time it's really fun but smells weird but who cares the refs r really cool and the rules are fair it's just really fun I suggest u go there read more

I could not ask for a better place to take my child to enjoy time with friends and family; new or old. Such a diverse environment where everyone respects each other and keeps the frustrations to take out on the battle field. read more

Lots of fun. Great with beginners. They work hard to keep the complex safe by enforcing safety rules. The rental equipment was comfortable and fun to play with. read more

Ok, but could be better. Yes, it smells a little funky if you are assigned a far away field and have to go way back into the caves. But the main waiting area is not that bad. At least you are not out in the heat. The biggest problem I encountered was some 20 somethings being allowed to smoke in the waiting area. SERIOUSLY??? In a cave? With no air circulation and who knows what coming out of the rocks? That's not only inconsiderate, it's stupid and dangerous. Also, if your kids are playing in a back cave, you will have a long walk to the restrooms, vending machines and to the wifi hotspot. read more
