I have known the owner of this business for over 30 years and have no idea where this Cody C from California is coming from. This business is in the middle of the desert and has no other businesses around much less females. They need to get their facts straight and stop slandering a good Christian man. Have always had a great time when played paintball there. Rules are made clear up front and refs watch out for the players. So anyone looking to have a party or make fun memories with their friends this is the place to go. read more

The store owner picks up the phone and doesn't know how to listen without interrupting and assuming what you are trying to say. If he can't understand anything, I don't know how the rest of his staff can. I don't recommend coming here if you are looking for even just basic customer service etiquette. read more

My 14 year old asked to have her bday celebration here so I called them to ask some questions. The guy who answered the phone was helpful, and answered all my questions. Then answered them a second time when I called again to confirm. We showed up at 10 as recommended and the kids got themselves suited up with helmets, body armor and belts to hold extra pellets. The staff goes over all the details and safety rules and really emphasized the importance of following them. They tell you that if they have to give multiple warnings they will not be nice about it, but considering how important it is to follow the rules, I don't blame them. They don't want you getting hurt or hurting anyone else. Once everyone is ready they walk you out to the field. There is a gathering spot where can leave items - coolers with waters, extra materials, etc. they separate you into teams and then go over the rules again. If you want to just watch they have two areas for it. Once the game begins the ref pays attention to the whole field, making sure everyone following rules, that if a player is out they can leave the field safely, etc. There are some people who take the game VERY seriously and you could tell they didn't have much patience for first time kids who are afraid to play. But they just get them out easily, and move on. Games last around 15 minutes and then there is a 10-15 minute break where can reload, see if gun needs to be fixed, and compare battle wounds. Cause you will have them. You can leave during any of the breaks. We were there for around two hours and played four or five games. If you are going to be timid don't buy a lot of ammo. We bought 2500 for 6 kids and had at least 1/3 of it left. If not sure how will play start low and replenish on a break. read more

See all

I came here with family and it was our first time here. I was impressed with the way they run this business. They had a safety meeting at the beginning and they explained the rules and how important it was to keep your mask on in the playing area. Then they drove us out to playing area. The field was very large and had lots of things to hide behind. We played more games then we thought we would. Overall it was loads of fun and we felt safe. We will be back read more

Language Language and professionalism lacks. It's one thing to be in charge of everyone's safety, it's another thing to swear, cuss, and belittle people with the amount of people under the age of 24 years old. There seemed to be a church group, maybe an at-risk group, and many teenagers in attendance. I will not return. read more

I've played paintball recreationally for sometime in multiple states. Hawaii, California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other fields here in Arizona. Of all the places I've played this is the worst. Staff informed us the rules when we first got into the parking area. Later, after being driven to the field, the staff had informed us of contradictory rules. Honestly seemed to just be made up at that time. There is only one field to play on. As far as chrono goes, for those bringing in their own markers, there isn't a strict chrono rule. People were just walking on without verifying a chrono by anyone. Seen people adjusting the velocity up on their markers at the 1 field they have to offer. From what we were told there is no safety kill distance. I seen someone less than a foot away shoot at an unsuspecting female who at that time was trying to call the ref for help with the paintball gun they supplied. Calling for the ref in the event the gun didn't work was their guidance. After the ref approached the female he stated "this isn't airsoft, paintball doesn't have safety kills" Take with that, what you will. Don't be surprised if you hear "I was going to join the military but...." read more

Desert fox is the best place to play paintball in Tucson. Doesn't look like much from the road, and it literally is a junkyard. But the atmosphere is awesome! Huge emphasis on safety. They are very particular about mask and marker safety. I keep coming back because the rental guns are reliable and the rules are consistently enforced. read more

I've gone here a couple times and it has always been an enjoyable experience for both beginners and advanced!

Would not recommend. Went out here on a Sunday at noon, since the website says 10-2 on Sundays. When we got there, we waited for a while for someone to come to the outside counter. We talked with some of the others playing and they said the guy was out on the field, since there was a game going on. He finally came over about 20 minutes later and asked if he could help us. I said we were looking to play some paintball. There was myself, my fiancee, and her 2 kids, 15 and 10 years old. He said there was a game going on and they would be done in about 45 minutes. I said that would work, since it would be around 1pm and we could play for an hour. He said he was leaving when they were done. I asked if they were open until 2?? He said they are, but we needed to be there at 10, since it says that on the website. I said that it doesn't say that on the website. He insisted that it does. No, it doesn't as of today, 16 April 2015. He said that you have to be 12 to play, is that going to be a problem? I said that the boy is only 10. He said that he wouldn't let anyone under 14 play on his field. It doesn't say that anywhere on the website either. We left. Will NOT go back. read more

Wow, there are some pretty harsh reviews on here. I've only been to this field a few times, but I've had a blast every time. Safety is a top priority and if you take your mask off when you're not supposed to or don't follow other rules, expect to be quickly corrected. It is for your safety not because the staff are jerks. I've seen the staff work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels and be very professional with all of them. This place is a lot of fun if you come with the right attitude and mindset. I'll definitely be back! read more

Still having great experiences at this field. I've been playing there over the last year. I have zero complaints!

Great field and fun groups to play with. Lots of bunkers, boxes, trenches, and other things to use for cover. The refs keep the team's even so that it's not one sided play all day. The owner has everyone's safety as a priority. I've been to other fields and this one is my favorite. read more

I called Desert Fox Paintball this week to inquire about a dual paintball party for my sons. I wanted to get pricing and information to see if it was a good fit for our sons birthdays. Clearly it is not a good fit and what I got was not information but a rude individual who passed judgement on me as a parent. Our family has done private paintball parties for family events which allows you to control who is on the field and also control the calibration or power of the paint out of the gun. This enables us to do these events with all ages and levels of paintballers in our family. We have done paintball parties at Camp Pendleton and Ramona as we have family all over. My kids will be turning 8 and 11 and the man who answered my phone call was rude and judgemetal when I mentioned the party reason and said I would never let my own kids paintball that young. We don't allow that he stated. I'm sorry I didn't ask your opinion about my parenting. I was so taken back by how rude and judging he was before I even let him know all the details. This is a fun, safe family tradition and we will spend our $800 to $1000 elsewhere and never refer them to anyone. There are few paintball parks in Tucson so it is unfortunate this one is run by the type of people I interacted with on the phone. I will continue to detract anyone from using this facility and make the drive out of the city to enjoy our next family outing. read more

The older man, who came to help answer our questions regarding desert foxes prices and hours, was the most rude person I have ever dealt with, he wasn't educated on anything that came to paintball and was very overpriced. I would not recommend anyone to come to desert fox. The man, when he did not understand something would respond in the most rude response humanly possible and does not know the courtesy needed to run a successful business. Business runs off clients. read more
