Archers Arena

Visited this weekend for a one hour beginners course. It exceeded our expectations and was so much fun! Josh and Adam were very knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and super funny. Had an overall amazing first time experience here thanks to the combination of such great coaches, activities, music and the environment here! I definitely recommend and will be coming back after these blisters heal.Visited this weekend for a one hour beginners course. It exceeded our expectations and was so much fun!

My wife and I went to Archer's Arena for the second time today, and it was a blast.

We played a bunch of games involving a bow and arrow. The training that Coach Manny gave us at the beginning really helped make the games more fun.

They really pay attention to safety, make sure everyone is having fun, and explain the games really well.

We'll definitely be coming back.

This isn't right. It shouldn't be this much fun to inflict violence upon your friends. To shoot them as they run away. To laugh maniacally when you get a clean head shot. I hope this doesn't awaken anything dark inside of me.

Archers Arena is a hidden treasure within a bunch of commercial complexes near Downsview Park. Who knew that within these lame brown walls, there is a battlefield? A battlefield complete with a throne made of arrows, a meme wall, and 10,000 sqft of space rigged out to do combat. As the name implies, this is an archery tag place, but they also do Nerf gun wars which frankly, sounds AMAZING.

Each game starts with a lesson from a coach, who is not only skilled in the sport, but also an effective teacher. Peter "The Paladin" was our facilitator, and not only was he a great coach, he was also a very chill dude. I've done archery tag once before and I find the instructions this time around were much more thorough. Explanations were very clear, safety precautions were drilled into our heads. It seems all of the employees there are passionate young people that take this job seriously but also have a lot of fun.

The part where you shoot people lasts about an hour. The coach sets up 4 or 5 different games; some cooperative, some not. All of them are one side vs. another side. You definitely won't need to go to the gym that day because that hour is one intensive cardio session. You'll be running, jumping, hiding behind obstacles. It's the most fun I've ever had doing a full body workout.

Despite the intensity, this place is very family friendly. We played our game with a bunch of little kids and nobody hated us afterwards (I hope). The arrows are foam-tipped and the bows are lightweight. And with each game costing about $35, it's no wonder tons of people have their birthday/bachelor/team-building parties here. Great financial and entertainment value!

Whether it's to challenge your friends to a badass game, or to therapeutically take out your grudge on someone, Archers Arena is the place to do it. And with all of the weekday/Groupon/special event promos, you can unleash all of your rage and/or Legolas fantasies at a discount!

Very fun! My girlfriend and I did the beginners archery session and loved it. The instructor showed us the basics and then we played various games with their setup. They also have an advanced course using steel tipped arrows that we would definitely consider.

This is the NUMBER 1 activity anyone and everyone should experience if you ever get a group of friends to go with! The staff provides a variety of game modes that manages to keep the activity fun and fresh. For $25 plus tax it's worth the 1-hour play time and 30-minute training package.

Indoors. For Archery tag itself there are two giant rooms filled with obstacles and duck covers. The arrows, face helmet, and arm guard are provided to you along with the training on how to shoot and play safely. I have played here twice and have yet to see anyone seriously injure themselves, and that's thanks to the super professional staff that thoroughly explained things pretty clearly!

Honestly the 1-hour game time is MORE than enough. Overall I strongly recommend Archers Arena Toronto.

Tip: book 2 weeks in advance

SO FUN. And so exhausting. Maybe I'm just out of shape?

Came here with a group of adults and kids from my church this past Saturday night for NERF GUN WARS because what better way to bond with your pastors and their families lol. We hung out in the reception/lobby where we could play foosball, take photos on the GoT-esque throne and watch other groups playing live on the TV screens while waiting for our turn. The facilitators are enthusiastic individuals who were great at commanding the kids' attention (and the adults too, let's be real) when going through the instructions and safety precautions.

There were 4-5 games we played, and each of them were a lot of fun and went by so fast! We had a great time and definitely got a solid workout. If you have the tiniest sliver of competitiveness in you, you will work up a sweat! Facilities are well maintained - my only complaint was that my team's side of the arena had a bunch of bubbles (for bubble soccer) at the back, which made one of the games a bit difficult as we had to squeeze our way through them to retrieve a bouncy ball that was getting tossed back and forth. But our team won anyway, so it wasn't so bad :P

They have party rooms available as well, which is handy for post-game friendship reconciliation over a shared meal ;)

Can't speak to the value as the cost was covered - but I'd definitely be interested in returning!

A place where you can shoot your friends with arrows without getting in trouble? Sign me up!

Came here for a birthday event and boy was it fun! If you have never been before, fear not as they have a demonstration that is pretty thorough. They show you how to hold the bow, shoot the arrow properly and even provide protection to help from string backlash. Although, that was not an issue for me.

Once we got into the arena, it was like a new side of me came out! I was channeling my inner Katniss Everdeen. They have two towers where you can have snipers that can shoot you but you can't shoot them. Talk about perks! For the unfortunate souls on the ground, they do have blow-ups to hide behind. There was a few different versions we played but they were all as equally as fun.

In short, it's a great place to get out any pent-up frustrations one may be holding onto and its extremely fun! Word to the wise, you will feel all the fun the next day as it can be quite a cardio workout/squat workout. It's also smart to have a rule that if you are in the arena with your partner, not to take anything personally or you could have an upset partner on the way home. Or just don't shoot them in the head could be a simple way to avoid that, trust me I would know!

So pull that arrow back and come try this place out!

This is an amazing place for cardio and to let aggression out. The coaches and owner are all amazing at their jobs and clearly passionate and energetic about archery tag. There are plenty of different game modes for large or small groups and additions like sniper towers, swords, shields and axes make game play exciting and inclusive even for those who aren't pros with a bow.

The garlic sauce is amazing, and not only that but if you get a full meal then the garlic sauce is free!
