When you play here, remember that it's a family park and not a paintball park. This is a side business, not their main business.
The refs are a little lazy. Young kids who play tourney ball but aren't really into the working side of the game. They know all the PSP rules but can't enforce "Goggles on" when a kid takes his off. That's a pet peeve of mine. They also chrony guns, but rely a lot on the players to self-police.
The field has changed a lot. I liked playing on the hyperball pipes way back when, but they changed to airball and now currently they have X-ball bunkers. I'm not a fan of x-ball, but the kids seem to like it. The field is small, but not too cramped for 5 on 5. Several people hate the gravel surface, but I like it. It's different, and it's a softer landing than dirt. The staging area is covered, and shaded, a nice touch. And it's a quick walk to the main building for full bathroom facilities, food and drinks, and air conditioning. In mid-summer, a 30 minute lunch break in A/C is a great thing.
Paint is whatever they got, usually blaze, but the price is good. You can't beat the entry fee on walk-on days, or the BYOP rates. They also have HPA finally too. For the money, it's a good deal.
I can't take this place too seriously, however. Go there to have a good time, and try not to laugh too hard when they talk tourney trash at each other. It's kids being kids.
7/10 overall. Improvements would be the refs, they need to really be more assertive. Plus it's a family place, not a paintball place. Don't go there expecting top-ranked opfor. Just go to have fun. |

This field is amazing. The only problem is pea gravel. The refs are crazy nice and they can help you fix most problems with your gun. There are two guys who are usually there and they are real cool and funny. They both play so they actually know what they are talking about. They are huge on safety. They also have food and drinks and the prices are CHEAP!! The proshop kinda sucks....so does the manager in charge...i think his name is summin like Side Burns, idk cant remember. They are open from 2-10 on weekends and 5-9 on weekdays. In the summer their hours are real nice. I give this place a 9 but next summer it will be a 10 cuz i heard they are getting a Texas PSP field. |

I play here like every other week except for in the winter because it is too cold. The field has air bunkers now and the refs ushually do a nice field set up. The prices are awsome here. it is 55 for a case of nightmare. they have byop wednesdays and fridays now which is only 20 dollars for all day admission. they have all day compressed air fills for 5 dollars. The refs here are extremely nice and helpful. They have chronoed us before every first game. they have a huge selection of food and drinks in the main building. I hear that they are adding on to their paintball section with a brand new field. it will be next to the old field. I think it will be made with the more competitive players in mind. I also hear they will start doing tournaments on this new field. their hours run from 2 to 10 on fridays and i think 2 to 9 on wednesdays. I love this place and hope all who go there will enjoy it as much as I do. |

Well, I had a bad review on this before but I would like to say they have improved a LOT. I went there a little bit ago and the Refs are very nice only thing I can say is they don't get into it as much as a normal ref does but thats ok. The field has gotten MUCH better they finally got better bunkers. It is where I learned how to paintball or ever tried it so it definetly is a good time for me to go back and see where I all started out. They still don't chrono as much but they got better at that too. Then the only thing that got to me was them never having air but that might just be a coincidence.| Last edited on Tuesday, October 16th, 2007 at 9:16 am PST |

I went there on the BYOP mondays. My full review:
The safety here is okay. The highly enforce the barrel sock rule. What I would like to see more of is them chronoing. I don't think anyone was chronoed that day. And there only measure of it was if someone was complaining about it, they would chrono after the incident occured, which defeats the purpose of chronoing to begin with.
They had one field. I really liked that it was airball and the whole tubing system set up. They didn't have to refill the bunkers with leaf blowers. It's set up for 3-man but it's doable with 5-man. Anything over is too many people.
Their hours of operation are solid. It's from 2:00-10:00 but once the sun goes down, it's difficult to see in there. I duggest that they put more light on the field.
Thir prices are outstanding. It was $25 for BYOP and air or buy the field paint for $55 and $17 for admission and air.
The proshop could use a little work. I asked if they had any AA batteries and they didn't have any. It's mostly barrel swabs, squegees, stuff like that.
The refs were really cool. The enjoyed reffing the competitive players. If someone called for a paintcheck, they were right on it.
Competition is above average when at Action Territory. It's mostly people with Ions and kids with expensive guns their parents bought for them but it's getting better.
The facilities were okay. They need more benches though. I had to work on the gravel floor because all two benches were used up.
Lot's of food choices though. They have a cafe in their indoor facility where you can get pizza, hot dogs, stuff like that. Plus it's Kenosha, there's a KFC, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Arby's all within a blocks worth of walking.
Overall it's a decent place and I'll probably go there again. But they could do so many little things that'll make an average field into a great one. |

Even though this field is attached to a family fun park, and is supposed to be for the younger crowd and their parents, it is starting to become more friendly to the "hardcore" paintball crowd as well.
The field is and airball field with pea gravel. The pea gravel isn't all that great, but the new airball is pretty nice. The prices aren't all bad either. $9 for a field fee + 100 paintballs, and the cases of Nightmare run at $55.
A new thing they just added is $20 Mondays. Basically, you pay the $20, which allows you to play all day with your own paint if you want to. Once they get compressed air (which the staff tells me is soon), you get all day air with that too. Not a bad deal.
The staff is safe and pretty knoweldgable, but they won't fix your gun because of liablity reasons. The rules are pretty standard, and they have a rather small area to set up in; just two picnic tables and some 50 cent lockers to put your stuff in. The player crowd is starting to get a little more serious, but usually consists of 10-14 year olds with rental guns playing paintball for their first time. Otherwise, the crowd is mixed between 11-14 year old kids with spyders playing for their first time, and some hardcore guys every once in awhile.
The rental department is a little lacking, with the primary rentals being Diablo Inferno's, and there are some Tippmann Pro Customs as well. If you have a problem with rentals though, the staff is always glad to help you with that.
Overall, this field is just starting to gain some foothold with the more advanced players, and is pretty much average to great in other departments. Once the compressed air comes in, I expect it to take off in the right direction. This is a good place for beginners and rookies alike. |

Safety -
I think they were pretty safe , they chronoed there rental guns once, so it could be better, but they again, it could bne worse... I dunno what the refs do for the mask off thing, because no one in our group took off there mask. They had a safety briefing -by movie- when you pay, although it was hard to see -sort of- because of the glare of the sun, but it was easily understood.
Field -
It was pretty good, it was a hyper ball field with pea gravel.
WARNING - This is the first field I played at, so I might be biased... But please don't dispute for this reason...
Prices -
They were actually pretty cheap -they recently lowered their prices...
It's $4 for 100 balls
$7 for 200
$15 for 500
and $55 for 2,000... Pretty good prices if you ask me...
Refs-
They seem pretty good on safety, however they only have 2 staff people working the paintball station, so they lack a little in the staff department... (Atleast, they only had 2 staff working when I was there...)
Pro shop...
I wouldn't exactly call it a proshop exactly... It was really more of a station where they sell rental equipment and stuff, how ever they had a gun for sale NIB and some o rings and tanks and other misc stuff, nothing too exciting here...
Overall, I give this field an 8 |

Action is a great place for beginners and more experienced players alike. They no longer have the 5 o'clock rule which means you can bring you own stuff in whenever you want and they will soon be filling nitrogen. Even if they have pea gravel and hyperball, Action is still a fun place to play with an experienced staff and a relaxed atomsphere. If you get kicked out it because you are being a retard in which case i would kick you out also. By the way their cases are now $70 (bags of 500 $20). You should check it out. They now also have a call list you can be put on so you can find out when real games are going down. I want to say 8.5 but the ratings own go by whole numbers. and last of all i believe the most hateful review of this field was from a man who played here when the field had just opened. Back they normal park employees worked paintball, but now a special staff is hired to runn it.| Last edited on Tuesday, July 12th, 2005 at 10:38 pm PST |

I disagree with the negative reviews. For it’s market, the field does a good job. It’s part of an amusement park and is primarily intended for younger players and families who want to enjoy themselves. When I asked about the 7:00pm no equipment rule, it’s really that you can not use your own equipment in the park before 5:00pm and they explained that it’s because some players with moderate experience would sit and wait all day for the inexperienced players and then kick their butts for sh!ts and giggles. With the more experienced players now coming after 5:00, players from the area know when they can expect some competition to play against rather than lighting up the kid who wanted to play for his first time on his birthday. Makes sense to me and doesn’t really bother me. Also, the refs seem competent, though I agree they need to be more involved in the games. And their rental guns aren’t crap, like I’ve seen some places. They’re the same as Apocalypse Paintball uses, I believe. Their Draxxus Blaze is a bit pricey here, though, and I wish they had a different playing surface than pea gravel. It seems like most of the bad reviews have come from players sponsored by competing fields or @ssholes who got kicked out for being @ssholes. In any case, it’s a decent field to practice and play at and they seem really open to helpful suggestions. |
