Day-of entry also available at $40. This is one of the twice-yearly signature events that draws participants from across the country.

Memorial and seasonal events like Christmas Explosion benefit local charities (Toys for Tots donation matching).

"Paintball is an outside activity played in a large space where social distancing is naturally a part of the game. It promotes staying active, reduces stress, and supports social and physical wellbeing." — TJ Andres, Paintball Explosion

Unlike indoor sports, paintball has practically zero person-to-person contact—you engage opponents from distance. Combined with fresh air, wide-open space, and no equipment sharing during play, it's a genuinely low-contact activity.

Field paint only policy. Paint available for purchase at check-in in multiple quality options. Rental equipment available. Gift cards sold in denominations of $25–$100 for gear, paintballs, or field time.
