Overall an okay experience. My son and I go about once or twice a month, for the past year during the cooler months, as the summer months are miserable in the arena as they don’t have adequate air conditioning in the building. As far as a review of a birthday party: it was total anarchy of having a kids birthday party, but was handled adequately. Expectations of timeline are clearly conveyed before purchase, and are reinforced via email days before the party. I think a grown adult managing the building would be a dramatic improvement. I say that, as there were about 40-50 players in the half basketball sized playing arena, and the unused arena was opened only because another kids party had reserved a private arena. There does not appear to be a tripwire for total player count on an arena to open the open side, which makes game play way less fun when it is packed. Over the year long time of going here, the cleanliness of the building, and quantity of functioning nerf guns have gone downhill. Usually you can find large hairballs in corners, and the room gets the gym locker room stink when it warms up. The nerf guns in use usually are beyond their life due to the extensive use for hours a day, 5 days a week. Overall it is an OK experience, but this place is definitely trying to take in the money while they can, and not put much back into the experience you’ll pay for. Less

We did an 8 year old's birthday part here and they were great. We got the SHARED ARENA PARTY WITH ROOM. Birthday kid gets a single level upgrade to an "advanced" nerf gun. All the other guests get a basic nerf gun unless paid to upgrade ($8 for Advanced, $12 for Premium). The pizza was from the place next door, Papa's Restaurant North, and was ok. One of our pepperoni pizzas was quite burned and some of the kids wouldn't eat it. The staff at Dart Wars was amazing and kept everything on schedule. The 2 dedicated party hosts were really great and, again, kept everything on schedule and facilitated the party room events. We would definitely plan another party here. Less

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I spent $130 for maybe 2 minutes of actually shooting. The remaining hour was fighting jammed guns, trading them out, and shooting blanks, dealing with crying kids because they were frustrated and dealing with the same thing. They had no system in place for jammed or broken guns during wars and you are still out if hit while dealing with it. I went through 3 guns and all were broken. I would try shaking them, banging them, removing clip and checking for jammed balls, down grading guns to get a less technical one and no matter what I did the gun would still not work after 2 shots. Great idea but horrible quality and execution. My recommendation would be to have people on the floor to help repair and unjam guns or replace them so that you’re not losing all your battle time or getting hit dealing with it. Less

Dart Wars was so wonderful. The staff made all the arrangement in the party room and the arena was excellent. All the guns worked great and the refs were fair and fun! Unfortunately we did get pizza from the restaurant next door arranged by the Dart Wars staff for my son’s birthday party. The pizza wasn’t great and we had to wait an additional 30 minutes after our allotted time in the party room because we had yet received our full pizza order. It’s great that Dart Wars has partnered with the pizza restaurant next door, unfortunate that their quality of services does not match the service of Dart Wars. However, it’s a must when you want to have fun. We love Dart Wars and will always be a huge supporter! Less

One star off for all the young gentlemen at the front desk. We had a great experience at an old place on Barnes road, so booking this newer facility was a no brainer for us as ots much closer. The folks at this new place - No eye contact with people walking in, even us the party booker, not organized, no customer service skills, zero enthusiasm to communicate, didn't ask the name of the birthday boy and just pointed to the cart to set up our stuff (turned out to be for a different party), checked our party in a few minutes late and started briefing a few minutes late. Even our guests were commenting that the staff at the front desk is just not helpful at all. Perhaps more training and a couple of cameras would fix the issue. I don't think we will be booking here again. (The hosts in the party room were helpful though, and the facilities are great - clean and comfortable, it's just folks at the front desk seem to lack knowledge & simple people skills) Less

Went for a kid's birthday party. Secretly lamented on wanting to participate, along with other dads. Was "coerced" into joining in the frey by another, braver, dad. The most fun I've had in ages, and was dripping with gobs of sweat per the workout of PWNING THE KIDDOS WITH MY PEA-SHOOTER due to my superior tactics and dedication. EAT FOAM TIMMY! It's organized elimination style managed by referees, and a lot more fun that "I GOT YOU"/"NO YOU DIDN'T" at home Nerf. They upcharge for bigger and better guns, but I'm told you can bring your own (Rival) style gun. Being a proud Rival owner, I'm going in fully loaded next time.... TIMMY IS GOING DOWN! Now to just find another excuse to go and behave like a kid again. Less

Growing up, one of my favorite places to have a good time was dart warz. But because of covid, dart warz closed forever! I recently discovered this new location under new management, and I've got to say, the magic never left! All the employees are fantastic, the vibe is super positive, and I had a great time! I highly recommend dart wars to any parent who's looking for an affordable way to have a fun packed day! Fun for kids and adults alike, I'll bet you'll find yourself going again and again forever just like I did Less

Fun time. Not well managed. It is run by teenagers. They need more refs watching. I play paintball at big games. This is a very small scermizh field. Maybe 50x50 or 75x50. Several times, my 6 year old got shot point blank by several players with full auto guns. I shot them out, and they still played on. After a few rounds like that. It's time for Dad payback.... face shots only on these guys. With a 15 round pump. I play big paintball games hundreds if not thousands, playing at the same time.. and Dad plays pump. I was going for faces. The game starts. Son, stay right be hind me. He was like, ok. To the center we got. Grab both shields and out. OK, we are going to post up right over here in the side corner. With full view of their team. Sit back and a few seconds later. Bam in the face of 1 gun goes I. The air. The kids are about 14. One of the 5 that are over shooting. OK, 1 of 5 are out now. About 5 seconds after the first one leaves here come #2 guy about 15 to 16. Full auto. We have shields. He came so fast shooting he for got one miner detail. Ammo.... he ran out and was still trying to shoot. OK. Blame headshot. #2out 3 more to go.time to move. Son, stay with me. Ok.we move up right next to their front bunker. See number 3 and 4 ones in the corner and the others right on the other side. Guy, behind me, stands up. He's like Big Brother, about 17 or 18. He doesn't see me or my son. Son says to me that the guy dad. So I told my son. When he leans over again, hit him in the bottom of the hit chin. Few seconds and he pops back out. Bame son scores.. perfect shot. Dead center of his chin. #3 out. I quickly reloaded my sons gun. We still have shields. We moved to the center. I know we're my next victim and wear. Still haven't seen me last guy looking around nothing. So I popped up base face shot on number 4. You're out. Now, I need to find my last guy. Mover to the back side and across from where we started. Found my guy. He is in the dead center. Spraying a praying with 2 guns. And his sister, I shout out. That we number 1. Was reloading for him. So I walked over to a ref. And go hay ref watch this. Head shot bother. Sister grabs the guns and turns to shoot me. My second shout in the cheek. Bout out, and call it. Tun and number 2 are back in. Son shoots him. Priceless!!!!! Ref sees the shot you're out. Then the ref see no wrist bans on them. Checks them all. None. Goodbye, guys. Less

I'm giving 3 stars because the kids had a lot of fun for my sons birthday party but, the confirmation email had hardly any information- No phone number, no address. I thought, based on what I saw when I booked the party online, that the timeframe was 1hr and 30 mins. When we got there, the kids didn't get in the arena until 30 mins after the time I had thought, the game went on longer so I had to go ask the young man behind the counter how much longer the party would be so I could then text parents who dropped their kids off to let them know what time they should be there vs the time I had originally told them. I'm not complaining about more play time, just that I was misinformed. I am a planner so this made me VERY anxious. On top of that, they charge you an extra 1% to run your credit card so, bring cash if that matters to you. The 1% adds about $25. Less

Excellent place to have a birthday and probably my favorite birthday party place in town!! The game is fun for all ages (adults as well as kids), clean, organized and there are plenty of viewing areas so everyone feels part of the fun! The party helpers had everything set up by the time the kids were done playing and headed to the party room and that was a huge relief for me! My son had the BEST birthday experience!!! Thank you!! Less

If you want a free for all where the referees don't enforce the rules that are in the safety brief, then this is the place for you. We had a birthday party ruined by players, not in our group, who did not follow rules and referees who did nothing about it. Even after multiple times of telling the referees of the issues. No one at the facility could do anything about it. The owner was called, and they flat out called me a lair because they did not see the incident on the video. The employees at the location had called the owner and told him something completely different from what I was told by them at the time of the incident. If I could give zero stars, I would. Do not recommend! Less

The whole family enjoyed this Nerf Battle Arena, parents and kids were exhausted after all of the action packed rounds. It’s a new and clean establishment that would be phenomenal for birthday party experiences for all ages, especially for those that like using nerf blasters and having fun with their friends!! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and teamed up harmoniously. I absolutely love that it is Veteran-Owned as well:) Thanks for making it one of our best Funday Sundays here in the Springs!! Less

Really awesome place to throw a birthday - expensive, but my son had a blast. He is 6 years old, and I think it would be better if they had less people in the arenas each round (there was easily 40 people each time) and similar age groups rather than 6 year olds with teenagers and adults because the kids can’t play as long because they’re immediately lit up by the older people and out….but if they did it by similar age group I think it would be a 5 star easily. Very fun, clean, and helpful staff! Less
