Highly recommend! This place has everything you want from a paintball place. Nice folks, plenty of shade, good fields, and clean Porta potties! We came on 4th of July weekend and it wasn't too busy which was nice, but they were still fully staffed and very attentive. We spread out and took over a couple tables...they have about 30 of them so there are plenty to go around, and they're all under shade. The Porta potties were clean with ability to wash hands which was definitely needed with the paint. There is also plenty of parking, and not too far off a main road. read more

Paint and Suffering When I asked my son what he wanted to do for his birthday, he randomly told me he wanted to bring two of his boiz and go paintballing. Unfortunately, with the closure of Santa Clara Paintball, Sunol is the best closest option for those of us who reside in the South Bay. The Good: *Friendly staff & referees *The have more games than just team vs team deathmatch, like medic and capture the flag. *Port-o-potties available *Price is fairly reasonable for $66/per that gets you a gun, mask, and five hundred paintballs. *The kids seemed to have fun and that's all that's important The Meh: *Weekends only for walk-on play (weekdays are open for private events of 20+ people) *Reservations system is a bit convoluted, as you have to fill out an online form and then wait for them to send you a bill for a $10/per deposit to be paid via Paypal to secure your rental equipment. You don't *need* a reservation but you take the chance you might show up with no equipment available to rent. Also, the $10 comes out of your rental fee, unless you no-show in which case you have to was eat it. The Ugly: *Sunol is known for always being extra warm in the summer, so be sure to arrive early to beat the heat and bring more water than you think you'll need. Conclusion: Fun spot to pop a cap in the boiiizzzz!!! read more

A fun time. The rental process was a little awkward when I tried to reserve a rental gun online the previous night, but I still got a gun without any problems when I arrived as a walk-on. There aren't any lockers to store your belongings in between matches, so plan accordingly if you'll stick them in your pocket while playing. The price may seem steep depending on if you're conservative with your ammo. The amount of paintballs that came with my rental lasted my 3.5-hour session until closing, but everyone plays different so keep that in mind. Even though the website says otherwise, rental and self-equipped players can play together if enough people are okay with it, which was fine by me as I have prior experience. My gun was working properly and the cleaning station was very useful when other places I've been to don't have that. read more

My son wanted to paint ball for his birthday and Sunol Paintball's pricing and amount of time for players far exceeded what was available in Livermore. Since we had a reserved time slot, the group had their own referee, only played against each other and had the fields to themselves. The three hour time slot was well planned and they kiddos and dads had a great time!! read more

Nikko and Katelyn, the owners of Sunol Paintball, run an amazing business. They organized my husband's paintball party from the moment we were first interested in having one until our players were exhausted after 8-10 rounds of awesome paintball and our party was winding down. They had their family helping us all out and it was great customer service, training, briefing, and refereeing all around. They blocked off a section for our party which was appreciated decorated with some Niners colored balloons. The protective gear, guns, and paintballs were legit. The paintball games were so fun, interactive, and dirty lol. Thank you so much Sunol Paintball. The adults, the kids, we all had a blast. We will def refer more people to you and we also plan to be back soon! Stay ballin'! read more

I visited this place last weekend and absolutely loved it. If you're a first timer or see yourself as a beginner, I would consider this place the best place for you to go to in the Bay Area. Pros: -Very friendly staff. This is probably the highlight here. The staff at the front counter and referees are nice and easy going. -I love the music in the parking lot! The DJ plays bangers all day and makes announcements over the speaker to get games going. -If you're self-equipped, you can bring your own paint. -They run games within 5 minutes of the last game ending so you're playing non-stop. -The staff cares about your safety and chronographs your gun every single game. Cons: -Paint is relatively expensive for rec-level paint. $71 for GI 1-star after tax. -Rental guns seem to need proper maintenance. The staff was kind enough to loan my buddy and me some rental guns so that we can play with the other rental walk-ons once all the self-equipped players left early; however, they seemed to need some work to get it operating properly. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place for newcomers or any seasoned player looking to have a light day. That's all. A+ establishment and I hope to come here more often. read more

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Don't know how good the play is as i stayed outside for a kid's birthday party. There is construction on 84 so GPS navigation doesn't work as of May 2024. read more

Had a wonderful time here for a private event, the field was so much fun and the price it was so worth it for rentals etc. They are well organized and even during pouring rain our group had so much fun. Shout out to the crew here ! read more

Sunol is a great field for new players to try out paintball because of their kind referees and beginner-friendly rules! The referees/employees are approachable and very friendly to new players, even when enforcing rules. For example, I've seen referees tell players not to break the seal of their mask when on the field in a firm but polite way. The rules and games are designed for beginners as well. The most evident is a 15 foot "surrender" rule, where you can get someone out by yelling "surrender". This rules protects new players from getting shot at closer range. The guns also shoot at a lower 275 fps (compared to 285-300 fps at other parks I've played at ). They also try to vary gameplay from deathmatch (standard shoot the other team), capture the flag (bring flag in middle to other team's home), medic (designated medic on each team can revive others and only gets out with a headshot), and president (one team must transport president across field). Fields are all hyperball fields that range from small (half a soccer field, can shoot the other team from the start) to medium sized (an entire soccer field). What the fields do not have in size, they have in clever bunker layouts (e.g. houses, snakes, mounds of dirt). No airball or woodsball fields. Rental equipment is on par with what I've seen at other fields: Tippmanns with stock barrels and masks that fog on warm days (they have anti-fog spray with helps a bit). Rentals do not come with any pod packs, so longer games often end without being able to switch sides. Not too many self-equipped players show up, but the ones that do try to be accommodating to rentals. For example, I've seen self-equipped players go with pump guns or let rental players use their higher end guns. If you're looking to rip at 10.5bps with your CS2, this is likely not the place for you. If you're self-equipped, I would come with a performance handicap/training goal in mind (e.g. playing off-handed, practicing snapshooting, trying out a pump or mech gun). Sunol also runs separate private events. I've seen younger kids do that for birthdays and such. Field paint only (GI Sports for lower end, DXS bronze for premium). I think admission + air + a 2000 round case of premium paint was $85. Music is always playing in the parking lot and there is a quick turnaround between games. Car parking is separate from the covered/shaded benches, so gear is left out during games. A ref is always near the benches and I've never heard of theft being a problem, but it's possible. Port-a-potties are clean with hand washing stations, and there are separate private changing areas too. It's a bit of a bumpy dirt road the last 0.25 mile to the field. My little sedan was fine and I've seen many Teslas make it, but I wouldn't drive up with a Corvette. About me: I spent almost 10 years as a referee at another paintball field and have been to Sunol twice now. I'll likely keep going in the future because it's close, and then perhaps venture further out if I want to play woodsball. read more

Ok! Paintball is not for the weak. Party/sitting area was nice, staff was cool and the field was perfect. This was the best place for my son 13th bday. We really enjoy our time here. Of course life is pricey, so 59$ pp which comes with 1 mask/1bag of paintballs...everything else is extra. Love the fact you can bring your own food. read more

This field seems like a fine place to play if you are a complete beginner, but was a real disappointment as a more experienced player. In particular, their premium $70-per-case field paint was is very rough shape. It was too old or wasn't stored correctly, so it didn't fly straight at all and made a huge mess inside my hopper and marker. They didn't hassle me to exchange it for their lower-grade, but fresher paint, which performed much better. They allow self-equipped players to bring their own paint, but I think they'd be better off not selling premium paint if they don't sell enough to keep it fresh. In addition to the paint being bad, the fields themselves are not well-designed or well-balanced. Several of the fields we played have weird sight lines down the tapes or otherwise have one side with a much stronger position than the other side. The music is also very loud, which makes it hard to talk between games, but the turnaround time between games is very fast, which is nice. The staff were friendly, if not particularly knowledgeable and once I got the paint exchanged, I still had a good time. That said, American Paintball Park is nearby, cheaper and much better run, so I'd recommend it over Sunol if it's not your absolute first time playing. read more

We had more fun than I could've even imagined! It was our first paintball experience. Every single person working here was super nice, responsible, and informative. Not to mention this entire environment was lively with music and constant action! The cost is absolutely reasonable. Plenty of parking. We spent all day there. We can't wait to go back! read more

Note: Excellent, well run, and family friendly field. It is great for new to intermediate players, not quite for tournament level. Well I started paintballing over 20 years ago when I was a kid. The late 90s were a pretty different time for paintball. There were a few fields owned by gruff old school guys who seemed to love to bark at people. Once you were "in the club", they were cool to you. But, it was far from a friendly experience for the newer player. In the time I have played, I have taken gaps of time off and moved around, so I have seen different eras and areas. I will say this field is a really great spot. It has some great selling points. It is VERY friendly to newer players. In fact,that seemed to make up 90% of the players when I was there. The refs are patient, they are very safety conscious, they balance teams carefully. Players who are a bit more experienced like myself hopefully turn down our energy level a bit to make sure we don't overpower newer players. They keep the games going! One of my complaints was always to play for 30 minutes then stop for 30. Here we would play a few back to backs then like 5 minute breaks for air, water, snack, paint, etc. Love it! The vibe is so nice. They even have music playing which really is not distracting, but rather adds to a more fun experience. The field is not "natural" like natural trees/woodsball. But the setting has lots of natural elements and the background feels more "woods" than speedball. It does have speedball elements, but also is not the dreadful large inflatables that make up the modern speedball field. It has some more character to it than that with wooden bunkers (of varying sizes and style). The price point is very reasonable for both self equipped players and rentals. The rentals are ok, the old Tipmans which are battle hardened but also have little flair. So, if you enjoy it, you will likely want to play with something a bit better next time. My recommendation would be to have other more "high end" rentals for people who don't mind paying an extra $10 or $15 for better markers. They have very reasonable and affordable party pricing if you can get a group together. Then you can have your own field and space. The worst part of the field is the entrance. Please don't miss it from the road or you are screwed trying to find an opportunity to turn around (and you can only enter it you are travelling one direction). Also, to get back to the field you have to drive over a pretty treacherous dirt road with lots of bumps (don't come if you have a lowrider). Overall, very impressive. Will definitely be back, and plan to bring other newer players as this is a really great entrance experience into the sport. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We did a reserved walk on today, and had an absolute blast! Hardly any downtime, and the staff worked to keep everyone engaged and safe. It was extremely crowded today but the way the staff ran the course, it didn't feel that way. Of the times I've played here, my experiences are getting better each time. Today was, for sure, the best time I've had at Sunol Paintball without a doubt. We will be back! read more

This place was fun and great for our group. We had a group of 6 people for a birthday and they had a paintball game every 20 minutes or so. It was a little pricey, but worth it! It was $20 for the extra gear (chest armor, helmet, gun, gloves, neck protector and a protective suit). Honestly, you could probably layer up and buy armor and gloves, and you'll be good to go! It was scary since it was my first time, but pretty fun too! :) read more

Just moved to the Bay Area, getting back into paintball and decided to give this field a try. First issue is the high speed bumps the owner of this field has and my car would hit on every speed bump(there are no signs about the bumps). Second issue field is unsafe there is no nets dividing each field so I was constantly getting shot from people on other fields. Third the refs are lazy, they don't really get involved with the game just manage time. 4th a lot of cry baby little kids that complain to the refs and if they know the refs the ref will pick on you the rest of the time you are there playing. I won't return. Now i gotta Check If my car is damaged from these speed bump read more

I am a bit on the psychotic side. Keeping my cool is not one of my traits. But get me on a paintball field and I am your worst nightmare. My husband and I are familiar with rules and a few paintball places, so catching on isn't a problem with us. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: -nice staff -easy parking -not too long of a walk to the playing areas -well maintained equipment -nice rest areas -they provide paper towels at the counter area (for your paintball mask) -if you like obstacle courses than this is the place for you -they cater to private parties... making sure you have a good time. Cons: -the port-a-potty is NASTY (this is a common problem at most outdoor paintball facilities -urine puddles in the paintball hideouts located on the field, yes I stepped in a few -the referees aren't too strict on enforcing the rules (I got peppered with paint balls when I was 'out' and walking off the field with my hands up... many times) -they charge $5 a refill on CO2... on THEIR tanks. This is not customary at some places we go. -they are a bit on the pricey side. I will add that my husband left his ID at the service area and the staff made sure it was safely returned. I loved that they gave us a break in the playing fee.... since we showed up pretty late in the day. 3 stars.... I'd go back, in a dryer season... when the urine puddles dry up. read more

Good field. Friendly staff with the tables and benches located close to the fields and fill stations. No inflatables nor turf so bring knee pads because it's all dirt and real rocky. Get there early because the parking fills up fast. Good mix of self equipped and lots of rental folks too. They do keep them separate except for 2 or 3 optional big games with everyone in there together. They do a good job of announcing the next games and do keep the games going at a good pace throughout the day so, even though they close early at 3, you get lots of playing time. Drinks, snacks, and paint are available on site. A great plus is that they allow outside paint with no extra fee. You'll get your money's worth playing here. read more

A-W-E-S-O-M-E! We were looking to find a place to go paintballing with a big group of people on a Friday. After some researching, we narrowed it down to Paintball Jungle and this place. Sunol Paintball is usually closed on weekdays, but will accommodate private parties of 15 or more. SCORE! They were quick to respond to my e-mails, and everything got set up within less than a week of me contacting them (paperwork, scheduling, deposit etc). We were set for a 4.5 hour private party! Whoot whoot! GAME DAY came, and we all had a BLAST! I will post up a few pictures to prove it =) Lucy was super nice and explained everything quickly and thoroughly so that we were able to get out in the fields quickly. Mark and Rob were the two gentlemen assisting us in the fields, and they were awesome too! They had changing rooms and parking right next to the station, which were helpful. The defogger spray came in handy. And belongings were safe with Lucy in the front. My idiotic self decided to wear one thin shirt and sweat pants. Results? Getting shot up 16 times and being left with 14 brutal bruises. The getting shot up part was my fault for sucking at this game, but the brutal bruises could have been prevented if I decided to gear up better. YIKES! But with the bruises still lingering, I still say that the experience was way worth it. And I'm glad we decided to pick Sunol Paintball! Cost? $1,500 for rental of their entire place (multiple fields to choose from). 4.5 hours which we did not use up because that was A LOT of paintballing. A ton of paintballs and then some. A camouflage suit. Some beverages. Private party fee etc. etc. Bonding experience and battle wounds? Priceless. I definitely recommend Sunol Paintball and we will certainly be back! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#ut3bI93NjGYgcL8FkPqWSQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#0Q0MGyHsTDPgLrgexgYWsA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#uvNN5etF_uP37u39aeV2cA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#EWSXeFRtlSi95b7anSiT-w http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#5p4zV_K2vNdqWf9WObsJrA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#mo9p7WayEIR0a041WBaXsA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wW-2Y6esUimYaDN_tKCv7Q?select=oAAgG5ElZ6O4NX9H2faEPg#F9UmF8EiH6aT4ffbIFHB-g read more

Came here for my fiance's nephew's birthday today. For my first time doing paintball, definitely had a lot of fun. Came early, leaving from San jose around 7 something and got there about 45 minutes before they open and staff was already setting up. It is a family run business and they are nice people. The mother was really sweet and even moved her car so we could park closer to the benches which I thought was really nice. It really helped out later when it got hotter so our car ended up in the shade. Throughout the day, a lot more people kept coming in so there were a lot of people. I would recommend coming in early if you've never gone paintballing and want to get a feel for it. We came in with a group of eight and went through several boxes. Our last box was premium pellets which we got for the price of the regular pellets because they ran out of the regular yellow pellets. The emcee, Mikko, was quite energetic and kept the flow going. He did poke a lot of fun at my fiance at times especially since he was wearing a tank top shirt (nicknaming him uncle Larry), but he was a pretty funny guy. There are a lot of organized games done as well as raffle prizes throughout the day. You can pre-order pizza for 6 or 7 and they do take a break to have a lunch break so you can eat the pizza when it comes. I know I had fun, and hopefully everyone else who came had fun as well. Just a tip to anyone who has never gone paintballing before, it will be hot as it gets later in the day so make sure you stay hydrated. Also the paintballs will sting, especially if it hits bare skin, so make sure you do have some sort of protective coverings to ease when you get struck. Expect to get bruises. I got hit on my pinky, lower back (i have a bruise and welt because my shirt went up since it was not tucked in), my face mask, and neck (i have no bruise here because i tied my bandana around my neck). read more

Sunol Paintball rocks! I played here 3 separate times as well as other fields here in NorCal and I enjoy this place the most. The layout of the fields makes it fun and challenging where you can encounter action almost immediately. They have a live dj that plays good music to get you hyped and a taco truck that comes in around lunch. Thank goodness for that since my buddies didn't bring a lunch. I can't speak for their rentals or paint since my friends and I have our own gear. What impressed me the most were the staff. Not only did they ensure everyones safety, but they were also accommodating. We had 4 and sometimes 6 in our group and we asked if we can play against ourselves on an unused field. Not only did they let us but even assigned us a ref or 2. Love the service and the fun atmosphere! read more

This place is well run and a lot of fun. This is our first time here and other than it being a little hard to find because of construction on the main road, it's great! I brought 4 teens, none of whom had done this before, for a birthday 'party'.

I took our Church youth group out for a day of paintball, along with a couple of our chaperones. We had a blast. The rental equipment was well maintained, the staff was courteous, and they never tried to sell us more than what we asked for. Recognizing that we were a large group and the tendency of teenagers to rush through cases of paintballs, they advised our group leaders on paint management. We had plenty to last us our entire visit. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who wants to take a group out for a fun Saturday. read more

Pros: Super nice staff and quick games, they do "try" to make sure people have fun. Taco truck shows up around lunch. Cons: Each game had 1 stationary ref that didn't walk the field and didn't check players, they just stood at the 50 to call start and time. As far as I could tell real refs were pretty much non-existent. Most of the staff was playing instead of helping run the field. They blare music all day and for some reason they have a speaker facing the staging area that is connected to the game microphone so you cannot get away from hearing the "announcing" on the field. This place is run like a family restaurant that happens to offer paintball instead. They are more focused on their own staff and friends having fun than the other patrons. I want to stress how cool and nice much of the staff was and that I really wanted to like this place, maybe I came on an off day or maybe this place is really just geared towards high schoolers. Either way I am super disappointed because this place is only 15 minutes from me. read more

We had our sons birthday party here. All COVID protocols were in place and the staff was super friendly.

We've been here twice & it's so much fun. Both times we came in with a Groupon deal & for a full day of fun it's not crazy expensive for a group of 6-8 people. We also brought a cooler & snacks for the day but they have a taco truck that comes during the early afternoon. Seems like a family run business and the guys that run it are incredibly helpful and keep it super fun. read more

I highly recommend this place! read more

$60 for admission, mask and gun rental, all day air, and 500 rounds of paintball. Pretty good pricing but I can veer you over to save a couple bucks if you use Groupon (you have to redeem voucher 24hrs in advanced). "Does it hurt?" - Bluntly, yes. BUT, while inside the arena, you have so much adrenaline, the pain is the least of your worry. My boyfriend, little brother (12), and I had a lot of fun here. I would suggest renting the body armor for kids 10-13 for sure. 2 days later, and I still have the red impact spots of where I got shot. They are basically small bruises. Be prepared to play with experienced folks too. As being our first time ever paint balling, we were surprised at the amount of "veteran" skilled players there were. They are self equipped with premium guns and gear which make the competition a little one sided. Nevertheless still fun and a great time. read more

This place is amazing! Definitely the coolest paintball field I've ever been too! And the people who work there give great service

I give it a 1/5 stars because I can't give it 0/5 stars. We made a reservation and when we got there, they said that we didn't have a reservation; so we left. A couple of hours later, they called us and said that we didn't show up for our reservation. All the guys are sketchy and kind of trashy there. Never coming back here again. Prices are jacked up to the max. read more
