Paintball for children at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park is one of the most popular kids birthday activities we offer. Located between York, Selby, and Leeds, the park provides a safe, structured, and exciting introduction to paintball that is specifically designed for younger players.
Kids paintball is not scaled down adult paintball. It is a purpose built activity created to give children a fun experience while keeping safety firmly at the centre of everything we do.
Designed Specifically for Children
Kids paintball at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park is available for children aged 10 and over, school year 5 and above. Every aspect of the experience is adapted for younger players, from the equipment to the game format.
Children use specially designed paintball guns that fire at around one fifteenth of the power of adult paintball markers. This dramatically reduces impact while still keeping the game exciting and engaging.
Safety Comes First
Safety is the foundation of kids paintball. Every player is fully equipped with:
- A full paintball safety mask
- Camo coveralls
- Protective gloves
All games are run by experienced marshals who specialise in supervising children’s events. Clear safety briefings are given before play, and rules are enforced consistently throughout the session to ensure everyone plays safely and confidently.
Fun Games on Award Winning Maps
Kids paintball games are played on the same award winning paintball maps used for adult events. The difference is in how the games are structured.
Each game has:
- Simple objectives
- Clear rules
- Age appropriate pacing
The aim is to maximise fun, teamwork, and confidence rather than speed or aggression. Children are encouraged to work together, communicate, and enjoy the experience.
What’s Included in a Kids Paintball Session
Every child receives:
- Full safety equipment
- Camo coveralls
- Three games of paintball
- 300 paintballs included as standard
Games typically run at around 100 paintballs per game, which is ideal for keeping the action flowing without overwhelming younger players.
Perfect for Birthday Parties
Kids paintball is one of the most popular birthday party options at the park. It combines outdoor activity, teamwork, and excitement in a way that screens simply cannot match.
Many groups choose to combine kids paintball with other child friendly activities such as laser tag, gelball, archery, or nerf, creating a full activity day that suits different ages and personalities.
