A friend surprised me for my birthday by taking me here! It was both of ours first time to play paintball. We were a little nervous at first because it was mainly young men there but everyone, and I do mean everyone, were super supportive and friendly. They were totally judgment free and offered tips, advice and one group even offered for us to join their match. A very welcoming atmosphere! We had zero issues with any of the equipment rented to us and they clearly explained everything and the safety rules. We will definitely be back!!

It was my first time playing paintball and I had a great time. Staff are helpful and friendly and the rules are simple to understand. Feeling like an investment in this place would be a great idea, personally.

Dont be scared of the outside- maybe a little shady looking at first glance. We thought we were in the wrong place at first. :-)We played for 3 hours with both kids and adults and had a great time. We chose how we wanted our teams to be each time. The refs and staff were great. Very safety conscious. All the equipment was of good quality. We had no jammed guns or busted paintballs.There were 2 other groups playing and but no long wait times. We bought 2 extra cases of paint so it was a little bit of an expensive day but that was our choice. Admission was very reasonable.

Always a great time! I was amazed to find how much cheaper paintball is now compared to even 10 years ago!Plenty of rental guns in stock, and plenty of parts and service available if you own.Wear shoes with some grip and clothes that you can change out of!

ICU paintball is hands down the best full service paintball shop I have ever been to. They have their own field on hand, a wide range of accessories and equipment a genuinely knowledgeable team that wants to help you find the right paint marker for you not just the most expensive one. Anytime I need something paintball related ICU is the only place I go (without fail) strongly recommend you visit.

I get all my paintball guns fixed here. He is affordable, gets them done very quickly and owns the business, which means your not only supporting a local business but your business is his priority. I was born and raised in dsm and love to support quality local business. Its also an indoor paintball arena which means something fun to do during our very boring winters.

My 10 yr old had his birthday party here. No one in our group had played paintball before. We were given instructions and watched a safety video and started playing. Everyone had a great time. I was impressed with the staff making safety a priority. The number one goal seemed to be sure that no one got hurt. We stayed til close and all the boys in our group are already wanting to return.

I forgot to take pictures but oh well. I go there often. My gf just played for the first time. She loves it. Honestly yes paintballs sting for seconds then you dont feel it anymore. The store also has several of the most knowledgeable ppl to help you. For first timers I suggest Wednesday and thurThur nights to play one on one to figure things out. Its slower on those days so enjoy play a lot more often. Were doing date night there probably every Wednesday so if you wanna play with us.

Went here with a group of co-workers for a private party and overall had a blast. Price is reasonable for the amount of game play you get and the gear you rent is in decent shape. Only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is the facility could use some maintenance.

All in all, had a great time. Staff is excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly and helpful in every aspect. Equipment seemed great for those who rented it. I would like to see the barriers completely blow up and possibly a few different paint purchase options. Prices where in line with other fields I would definitely recommend ICU paintball to anyone playing at any level.

Review №55

This business was terrible. Almost all the staff acted like they didnt want to be there. Witnessed the owner berating staff in front of customers and would talk down to customers constantly. He looked at one of my friends guns and when he fired it once and a piece came out of the barrel, the owner handing back to him and said he wouldnt touch it.The play area was long AstroTurf and had, as one of the staff quoted, 10 years of paint on it. The floors were slippery with paint and it was pushed to the edges so it was like walking in fresh mud.The only positive thing this place has going for it is the person working behind the counter in the play area was friendly and wanted to be helpful.I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

This place is a go to for people looking for games every weekend or to get gear and parts or guns for any paintball gun. They fill tanks on site and supply balls and basic gear. And you can rent if youre just getting into it. But dont mention airsoft to any of the guys, they dont like talking about that hahaha

Frustrating to say the least, the staff is unsafe/ walking around the field without masks during tournaments. Feels very dirty and slight off putting smell. There is only one field and it never seems to change.

I personally vow for ICU Paintball as a great place with great personnel! It is definitely my go to place for a great paintballing experience. Weather youre a first timer just looking to have a blast or an expert speedball team practicing for an upcoming tourny, I almost guarantee that you and your friends or family will have an absolute bast. The owner is an great guy and really looks to make your experience the best it can be, after i had paintballed at ICU Paintball about 3 times over the course of about three months he could remember who I was and treated me as a friend, as well as having spent nearly an hour fixing the trigger sensor on my Spyder Pilot with Eye for far less than anyone else would have charged. I have played at several different outdoor and indoor courses over the years and i would rank ICU Paintball as my absolute favorite when it comes to playing with and around great people, and within the top three when it comes to the course setup and style, so unless you plan on driving hours to go to the next closest to risk it not being worth the trip. My advice is go to ICU Paintball, try it out, and just have a good time.
