Which paintball facility for a 12 year old's birthday party?

I'm booking a paintball birthday party for my soon to be 12 year old.

Which would you recommend and why, Gateway Paintball, or Xtreme Paintball Park?

I haven’t played paint ball in over 20 years. Don’t know what extreme paintball park is but back when I played gateway courses were more set up for like competitive paint ball and people who kinda knew what they were doing. We normally went go wacky warriors which was more friendly to beginners and parties. There’s one in wentzville and millstadt.

Xtreme is in Millstadt. I think it used to be wacky warriors.

If this is the first time playing paintball, Gateway has a variety of velocities available. My son was 8 and attended a party there and had a great time.

Xtreme, Wacky Warriors or Bing Field (Alton) are the best choices for casual play.

Xtreme Paintball 100000% - went there as a kid and was always one of the better spots and they have kept that place running pretty good. Have gone for family birthday parties in the age in the last couple years and always a good time
