7. Archery Games Denver
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 40 reviews
Denver's only archery dodgeball arena and the ultimate action experience Two teams battle it out with bows and foam tipped arrows in the Archery Games arena. The game-play is similar to dodge-ball and the ultimate objective of the game is to tag all of the opposing players with arrows in order to eliminate them from the game. There are no painful marks or bruises from the arrows.

We had a larger team, in excess of 40+ participants. We split them into teams of about 8, and played a round robin tournament. All employees really enjoyed the fun!! We worked with Archery Games to coordinate an external food provider, and all things went really smoothly. It worked great, as the teams weren't playing, they'd eat, and just cycle in and out of the arena. We bought drinks from Archery Games onsite. We rented out the location for a full 3 hours, which was just the right amount of time.

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly people, smooth whiskey. I attended REM’s production, “Three Tales of Poe”, which was performed in the distillery. I was lucky enough to get to visit with the owners, Patrick & Meagan, Bartender, Mia, as well as Meagan’s Mom. It was like sitting at enjoying drinks at a friends home! The story behind their whiskey is fascinating & my speciality drink was delicious. The space is inviting, the whiskey is wonderful & the people make it a place that you’ll want to frequent!

This place was great fun! We only did the indoor waterpark- a lazy river (very tiny), 2 waterslides, spray park and play area, and leisure pool. There is a lap pool as well but you can only do laps in it. The waterslides were fun, one you do sitting and the other is on a single or double tube. The tube slide does go faster than you think, and both have a few seconds in the dark so be prepared for that with little ones. The area was clean, with lots of lifeguards. That being said, don't depend on them totally - there was a little boy trying to swim right next to us saying "help" and the lifeguard missed it despite looking right at him. Too loud likely, but hey parents watch your kids if they can't swim well. If you plan to do the water slides, be aware the flooring on the steps HURTS your feet! I would have loved to have water shoes. It was nice to have family locker rooms and shower as an option (there is soap in the showers). The facility is HUGE with lots of other rec options, including an indoor playground, weight room, etc. We would definitely go back!
