American Paintball Coliseum – Colorado Springs

American Paintball Coliseum is located in the eastern part of Colorado Springs, near the intersection of Powers Boulevard and Airport Road, in an industrial area off Emory Circle.

Four Ways to Play Under One Roof

This isn’t just a paintball field — it’s a full-scale indoor action sports center. The Colorado Springs location offers four distinct activities: paintball, airsoft, laser tag, and axe throwing. Paintball is available for players ages 8 and up, with low-impact paintballs used for younger or first-time players. Airsoft is recommended for ages 10 and older and offers a cleaner, less painful alternative to paintball while keeping the same tactical feel. Laser tag starts at age 6 and provides a fast-paced, no-mess option for families with younger kids. Axe throwing lanes are open to all skill levels and make for a great addition to any group outing.

Immersive Indoor Arenas Built for Action

The Colorado Springs facility features two main indoor fields. The Scenario Paintball Field is the centerpiece — a 10,000-square-foot arena filled with creative obstacles including salvaged airplane parts, boats, wooden walls, barrels, and hallways. It creates a hide-and-seek atmosphere that rewards both strategy and teamwork. The second field is a speedball (airball) arena with inflatable bunkers on AstroTurf, designed for faster-paced, close-encounter games. Both fields are indoors and climate-controlled, making them available year-round regardless of Colorado weather. The airsoft field uses a custom urban layout with planes, hallways, and barrels that bring video-game-style action to life.

Scenarios, Tournaments, and Big Games

Beyond casual open play, the venue hosts organized tournaments and special events throughout the year. The Rocky Mountain Paintball League (RMPL) holds events at APC locations, and the Colorado Springs field occasionally runs 3-man paintball tournaments. Special scenario games like the famous “Battle of Chernobyl” airsoft event draw large crowds. For groups that want a completely private experience, after-hours parties can be arranged where the whole facility is reserved exclusively for your team — starting at a $500 minimum for the event.

Built for Birthdays, Teams, and Celebrations

American Paintball Coliseum is a natural fit for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, bachelor and bachelorette parties, military group outings, graduation parties, and holiday celebrations. The venue offers “Eat & Play” combo packages for groups of 6 or more that include field time, gear rental, ammo, pizza, drinks, and snacks — all handled by the staff so organizers can relax. Spectators are welcome and can watch the action from designated viewing areas. The facility also has lounge sections where groups can set up tables for food, cake, and gifts after playing.

Knowledgeable Staff and a Full Pro Shop

The team at APC is frequently praised in reviews for being attentive, professional, and patient with first-time players. Staff members walk new groups through the rules, safety procedures, and equipment before each session. The on-site pro shop carries gear from major brands like Planet Eclipse, G&G, HK Army, GI Sport, Elite Force, and DYE Paintball. They also offer compressed air fills up to 3000 PSI and CO2 tank refills. Equipment repair services are available as well, making it a one-stop shop for both new and experienced players.

A Place to Gather Before and After the Game

Each reserved group gets a section in the facility’s lounge area to use before, during, and after play. These spaces allow guests to celebrate birthdays, share food, or simply catch their breath between rounds. Players are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages at no extra cost. The facility also has a snack bar with drinks and snacks available for purchase. For corporate or team events, the lounge setup makes it easy to combine active play with social time — all in one location.
