This is my go to airsoft site when i want to go out and fling plastic at other human beings. Its a well run site that offers a wide variety of games each time i go. They started to offer hot food this year which is an added bonus on those cold days. Its by far the cheapest site i have played at but one of the best. Great site, great prices, great location and great fun...so get down for a game!

Mrs Dowsons Farm

Reviewed By rhiannond2019

Great day out at Mrs Dowsons farm! Fantastic staff, very welcoming! Always check we are having a good day and offer support with any questions we have and you can tell they really do care about the animals also about the people that are visiting the farm. Animals are great there, cared for really really well! The kids love handling them and feeding them, it's made them much more confident around animals now! We have been to a lot of farms around the area but this is by the far the best! We just keep going back this year. The Christmas experience at the farm was also fantastic!

We have discovered a gem! Local, great price and super fun for all. We visited with my son and 8 of his nerf gun crazy friends for a birthday treat. We were warned about the old steep steps to enter and yes, they were old and very steep, but once we entered Dart Zone the boys loved it. Jack who works there, was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be returning as the boys had a 'blast' and we all give Dart Zone a huge thumbs upand all his !! Thank you to Jack and Ian for making a ten year old buddies very happy and a birthday treat to remember I'm sure.
