Action Valley Paintball

Where You'll Find Action Valley Paintball

Action Valley Paintball is located in East Moline, Illinois, just off Route 5 and Route 92 — a convenient spot for residents of the Quad Cities area and beyond. The facility sits at 17406 Rt 5 & Rt 92, easily accessible from both Illinois and Iowa sides of the region.

Fields That Keep Things Fresh

The club currently features a hyperball field, an "attack the hill" field, and a speedball field in the works. Hyperball offers a fast-paced experience with large, curved bunkers that create unpredictable angles and ricochet shots. The attack the hill setup adds a vertical element to gameplay, giving teams a chance to strategize around elevation changes. A speedball field is being built to round out the offerings, which will bring inflatable bunkers and tournament-style play into the mix. Each field is designed to accommodate different play styles, from casual weekend warriors to more competitive groups looking for structured scenarios. The variety means repeat visitors rarely play the same game twice.

Games for Every Comfort Level

Beyond traditional paintball, Action Valley offers .50 caliber low-impact paintball for younger players ages 8 and up. The smaller, lighter paintballs sting far less than standard .68 caliber rounds, making this an excellent introduction to the sport. For the youngest crowd — ages 5 and up — GellyBall is available, using gel blasters that shoot soft orbeez-style projectiles. Getting hit feels like a light rubber band snap, and the gel balls won't stain clothing or leave residue. Traditional paintball remains the core offering, with open play available on Saturdays and Sundays during regular hours. Groups can also schedule private sessions with dedicated referees who help guide gameplay and enforce safety rules.

Built for Groups and Celebrations

Action Valley Paintball is a natural fit for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, youth group outings, and casual get-togethers with friends. Private parties are scheduled in two or four-hour time slots and can accommodate up to 45 people with rental equipment. The staff works with groups of all sizes, rotating players in and out so everyone gets plenty of field time. For those planning a larger event, the club encourages advance scheduling — especially for groups of ten or more. Weekday parties are not currently available, so weekend bookings are the way to go.

What You Need to Know Before You Go

Players must be at least 12 years old for traditional paintball, and anyone under 16 needs a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. A valid driver's license or ID is required to play. The club is field-paint-only, meaning paintballs must be purchased on-site, though paint bought previously can be brought back. Tank tops, muscle shirts, and cut-off sleeves are not permitted — long pants and long sleeves are recommended, though shorts and t-shirts are allowed. A membership program is available for regulars, offering discounted paint, waived field and air fees, and a free rental gun for the member or a friend. It's a solid option for anyone planning to visit more than a couple of times a season.
