Annandale Paintball

Where the Adventure Unfolds

Annandale Paintball is located in South Haven, Minnesota, less than an hour west of the Twin Cities and easily reachable from Highway 24 or Highway 55. The park sits on over 40 acres of land, offering a spacious outdoor setting that feels a world away from the everyday. It welcomes players from Annandale, Buffalo, Monticello, Albertville, St. Cloud, Minneapolis, and many surrounding communities.

Three Ways to Play Paintball — and Then Some

The park offers three distinct versions of paintball to match different ages and comfort levels. Traditional Paintball (.68 caliber) is the classic experience for ages 10 and up, played on multiple themed fields with bunkers, buildings, and towers. Low Impact Paintball uses smaller, lighter 50-caliber paintballs, making it a great choice for first-timers or those who want a gentler introduction to the sport. Family Friendly Paintball is designed specifically for kids ages 8 to 14, using JT Splatmaster or Gotcha Paintball markers that are easy to handle and fire even softer projectiles. Beyond paintball, the facility also offers outdoor Laser Tag (Minnesota’s largest laser tag facility, played on real paintball fields under the sun) and Airsoft for those seeking a military simulation experience.

Fields Built for Strategy and Storytelling

Annandale Paintball features 10 outdoor playing courses, each with its own personality. The park is home to the only outdoor turf playing field in Minnesota, built to Major League Paintball specifications with inflatable bunkers that rotate to match the latest professional layouts. A city-themed field offers buildings, cars, and towers for objective-based games, while other courses provide wooded areas, netted arenas, and open terrain. Every field is surrounded by safety netting, allowing spectators to watch the action from a safe distance. The park also offers an airball practice facility for competitive players training for tournaments.

Game Modes That Keep Things Fresh

Beyond standard capture-the-flag matches, Annandale Paintball runs special Mission Game Days throughout the season. These themed events feature objective-based scenarios like bomb defusal, defend the clock tower, and capture the nuke code, all played with music pumping through the speakers and referees providing live updates. The park also hosts competitive tournaments including the Annandale Summer Cup, the Fall Classic, and the Sunday Challenge series, which draw players from across the region. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, open play sessions on weekends allow walk-on players to mix in and meet new friends on the field.

Built for Groups, Celebrations, and Team Bonding

The park specializes in private groups and can host parties of all kinds seven days a week. Birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate team-building outings, youth groups, church groups, school events, and sports team celebrations are all part of the regular rotation. With over 20 years of experience organizing group events, the staff handles every detail from arrival to cleanup — no mess, no stress for the host. A dedicated referee or group host is assigned to each private booking to guide the experience and ensure safe, fair play. The staging area offers picnic tables and a BBQ space for groups to enjoy lunch or snacks between games, and concessions are available on site.

Experienced Staff, Real Hospitality

Annandale Paintball is a family-owned and operated business that has been running since 2004. The team includes certified referees who are present at every game to guarantee safety and fair play. Staff members are extensively trained and focused on creating a welcoming environment for first-time players and seasoned veterans alike. The park also offers a pro shop with gear and equipment for purchase, hydro testing for air tanks, and a season pass program for frequent visitors. Mobile services — including mobile paintball, black light paintball, and laser tag — are available for town festivals, county fairs, and post-prom events across Minnesota.
