Reviewed By Murray2003 - Dublin, Ireland

We headed here for something fun to do on a Sunday morning. For a great price we did archery, laser clay bird trap shooting and an Argo ride. The owners take the time to show you how to do the activities properly which is really appreciated. They also do other activities such as paintball. We had a great time. The place was virtually empty except for a young family. The owners were great and we were able to take the time to chat with them. highly recommended as a fun place to go.
