As a head teacher I went to Campaign to inspect on the recommendation of another school for an end…read moreof term activity. I have little experience of what to look for at a Paintball site apart from Health and Safety and whether the punters were enjoying themselves. On arrival I was greeted by two staff with a friendly wave and taken to meet the owners. Fortunately, there were several schools arriving as well as groups of adults. It appears Campaign has been owned by the same guys for over 20 yearsthe site is vast and what I saw totally reassured me. Interestingly, the first school to be briefed was a school that I knew really well having worked there many years ago so I was able to speak to the pupils and teachers as the morning went on. They liked the equipment, the variety of themed areas and the banter of the marshals. Some games were extremely tactical and serious stuff. It was obvious the adrenalin was flowing and every pupil I spoke to was fully engaged and loving it. Lunch was also provided in the price. Most groups I spoke to had been before, and this backed up what the owners said about repeat business and making the experience bespoke for 'their customers'. In conclusion a well run operation, clear instructions, heavy focus on safety (I was given a briefing and had to wear the goggles, protective gear on the range even at lunchtime) and what seems like new equipment. I intend to take a large group of dads (and daughters) to Campaign very soon.

Excellent place for a day out…read more I have been to Campaign three times now. I had such a blast on my 21st birthday many moons ago that I arranged an outing for work. Last saturday I dutifully arranged my best mate Jon's stag party. Really pleased to say we weren't let down by Campaign.. These guys certainly take a lot of care in what they do and I can't praise them highly enough. Thanks again.

This place finally gave me a reason to dust off my paintball marker (it's not a gun, it's a marker)…read morethat I had so lovingly shipped over from the states. The first thing that impressed me about Campaign was how easy it was to get to. From SW6 it was a 25 minute train ride to Effingham and then a 5 minute walk to the range. Easy. The range itself is fantastically well laid out. They've split a large section of forest into about 8 different themed courses with the central area decked out with covered seating areas, a shop, info booths etc. Very professional. The day is also very well structured and organized. People are put in teams and demarcated with colored tape. You play 8 games in a round-robin format and they've planned the day just right so you have enough time between games to rest up, have a drink, etc. The staff, for the most part, were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a lot of fun. One or two were a bit too.cool for school. But all in all, they did a great job of running the games. One other thing to note is they split the kids and adults up so you don't need to worry about little Timmy getting roughed up by a bunch of lads on their stag do. Now I have to confess, I almost gave this place 3 stars based on one thing - the price. Sure it's 13 quid for all day paintball including equipment rental and a burger but the paint is absolutely ridiculously priced. You'll need to spend another 35 quid on paint to have a good day so expect to spend around 50 quid for a full day. You can't bring your own paint either so there's really no way around it. Given the number of people there, they must be making a killing. Despite that, I'll be going back. It's conveniently located, well run and a lot of fun.

I went to campaign yesterday with my husband, niece and nephew. Apart from a few kids on our team…read morewho thought it was funny to shoot their own team mates, we had a really great time. The marshalls and the staff were great and we were really looked after (and they sorted the naughty kids out!) There is a very strong focus on safety although I was a bit scared to hear that shots anywhere on the body (including head) were considered ok! I would recommend the body armour, I got shot in the back and it didn't hurt atall. My husband who didn't have the armour on and got shot the same has a nice big bruise to show for it! The maps were really great, especially Dodge City which was our favourite. We all had a really fun time and we would definitely like to go again. We used about 850 paintballs each so it wasn't cheap and we could have used more as we ran out in the last game which was hugely disappointing. But if you're not trigger happy like we were you can get away with less. I would recommend campaign, it was a really fun day out and one we shall be repeating soon i'm sure!

Laser Kombat is slightly out of the city centre, so you would have to take a bus to get there…read more There is a big arena, with plenty of places to hide. One game lasts 20min. All this fun for just under £6 - completely worth it! We played a game where everyone against everyone, as we were only 4, we joined another group, and I believe it's much more fun than if it only was just us. After the game if you did a good job of shooting and not being caught, you could see your score. Unlike some other places I have been to, you can't see who you shot and who shot you, but maybe it's for the best! Now, to downsides. When I called a day before to ask whether we need to book, we were told no, it's fine, just walk in. When we came (at 5) we were told that we should have booked, but they will let us play. However, we can join only one game - and have us a choice of two times- one around 5.30 and another at 6. I didn't quite why we couldn't play two, but didn't mind too much, as games are surprisingly tiring. Also, we had to leave our bags at the stuff discretion - no lockers or anything. These particular staff were very nice and I felt comfortable leaving things with them, but overall I'm not sure it's a good idea!

This place is the go-karting real deal. It has been a popular go-karting track for many many…read moreyears. What I especially love about this place, is that when most places insist that a large groups books together, individual people can book to go on the track. Also they cater for ages from just three years old with tiny go-karts, to all different stages until adulthood. So younger people get to see and be around the same environment as hard core racers. This place really is for professional serious would be racing drivers, it is not just a fun place for stag do's. Cleverly though younger people do go on a different track. The track for older children and adults is really big, it seems to be much bigger than most indoor tracks. The track for younger children is smalle, but perfectly fine and definitely not too small. The staff are friendly, helpful and it is professional and well run. The only massive headache is their website which has an appalling booking system, first time I just could not work it and had to call to do my booking over the phone. This place is a massive recommendation if you want to go go-karting for your children or as an adult. We travel quite long distance to come here and believe it is definitely worth it.

We booked an hour of laser tag with 3 games. It was really fun, more than expected. You dont need to run but you will get sweat a lot. Bring appropriate shoes and clothes as your shoes will get dirty and have fun. Great for a group experience. Then you can go for drinks to the O2 in Greenwich.

This place is pretty tucked away, it's right next to the Thames barrier pretty much. The venue itself in first sight is tiny, but when you get into the play arena's, WOW! the size of these arenas are immense and amazing. They are fun to run around in, and they are a great looking and great playing feel. I would gladly go back. Just a shame this one time I went, they offered a turn up and play deal. Normally you'd need to book, they need to do the turn up and play more often.
