Something for everyone!
Wyldside Paintball is an awesome place to play, no matter your experience level. They have different fields for every style of play — from beginner-friendly speedball to professional-level speedball, plus woodsball and fun scenario fields too. There’s always something new to try, so every game stays exciting.
It’s super easy to set up and get started, and the staging area is big, clean, and perfect for gearing up or hanging out between games. The staff is friendly, helpful, and keeps everyone safe while making sure you have a great time.
Highly recommend Wyldside Paintball for anyone looking for a fun day with friends, family, or your whole team. We’ll definitely be back!

Frequently Asked Questions About Wyldside Paintball
What is paintball?
Paintball is an action-packed sport where players compete, either individually or in teams, to eliminate opponents by tagging them with .68 caliber paintballs. Whether you’re into fast-paced speedball or enjoy more immersive scenario games, paintball offers a variety of exciting game styles.
What should I wear when I play paintball?
We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that covers as much skin as possible. For cooler weather, hoodies, sweatpants, and supportive running shoes are ideal. In the summer, opt for lightweight clothing that breathes well, keeping you cool while protecting you from the sun.
Does getting shot with a paintball hurt?
Getting hit by a paintball can sting, but it’s usually no worse than being snapped by a rubber band. The sensation fades quickly and is part of the thrill of the game!
What should I expect when I play paintball?
Paintball is an exhilarating, high-adrenaline game where players shoot paint-filled projectiles at each other in fast-paced, action-packed scenarios. Expect a workout—running, dodging, and diving are all part of the fun. You might get a few bruises or scratches along the way, but that’s all part of the experience!
