Ricochet Tactical

Ricochet Tactical sits in the heart of Levittown on Long Island, inside the newly renovated Tri County Mall. It is a compact, multi-purpose complex that combines an airsoft pro shop, an indoor combat arena, a dedicated NERF and dodgeball space, a tactical gear store, and even a mini golf setup — all under one roof.

The BrickHouse: Long Island’s Indoor Airsoft Arena

The BrickHouse is the venue’s dedicated indoor airsoft field, where players take part in military simulation using full-scale replicas of real-world weapons. Unlike paintball, airsoft uses 6mm hard plastic BBs, and the games here are structured as head-to-head combat between two teams working to complete specific objectives within a set time. Every session opens with a pre-game briefing where the mission type and objectives are laid out, and each player’s gun is chrono’d at the start of every round to keep play fair and consistent. Safety is woven into the whole experience. FPS is capped at 350, and trained safety marshals are stationed throughout the field to encourage structured play and enforce the rules. Proper face and eye protection is required at all times inside the arena, guns must be transported in a bag or case, and barrel covers are strictly enforced. For those who don’t own gear, gun, mask, and vest rentals are available, making it easy for newcomers to jump in. Airsoft sessions run by appointment only, which keeps each game well-organized and gives every group personal attention.

The ClubHouse: NERF, Dodgeball, and Kid-Friendly Combat

The ClubHouse is Long Island’s only dedicated indoor arena for NERF, Rival, and tactical dodgeball. It’s a safe, enclosed space designed for groups aged eight and up to enjoy player-versus-player competition without the sting of airsoft BBs. Beyond NERF battles, the space hosts Gotcha parties, Bazooka Ball parties, and Gel Blaster (Orbeez) parties, giving families and groups a range of gentler, colorful combat options. Bazooka Ball is a kid-friendly take on paintball that uses soft two-inch foam balls, while Gel Blasters fire eco-friendly pellets that dissolve on impact and leave no mess. These formats make the ClubHouse a great fit for younger players and for anyone who wants the excitement of tactical games in a softer, more forgiving package. Open play is available by reservation in advance, and party bookings are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Parties Built Around the Guest

Ricochet Tactical is especially well suited to celebrations — birthday parties, group outings, and team events. Party packages cover NERF, Bazooka Ball, Gel Blaster, Airsoft, and even mini golf, and each one includes three hours of play with all equipment and safety gear provided, a private party room, a dedicated host and referee, pizza and drinks, and custom invitations. The staff handle the setup and refereeing, so the host can simply enjoy the event. Because the venue offers so many different game formats, it works for a wide range of ages and group sizes, from a child’s ninth birthday to a teenager’s sixteenth, and even adult gatherings. The appointment-based scheduling means groups get the arena largely to themselves, which makes the experience feel personal rather than crowded. For larger day camps and school groups of 45 or more, there are special per-player rates for NERF sessions.

The Pro Shop and The Perfect Hide

Beyond the arenas, Ricochet Tactical operates a pro shop that stocks a large selection of quality airsoft replicas and accessories, along with a full line of firearm accessories and tactical gear. It’s positioned as a place where both beginners and experienced players can find what they need, and the shop price-matches US web retailers on the spot. The owner describes the business as a passion project built around a love of shooting sports, with a focus on respectful customer service and deep product knowledge. Right in front of the main booth sits The Perfect Hide, a separate retail space offering tactical clothing and gear — from pants and shirts to helmets and boots. Whether someone is preparing for a deployment, heading to an airsoft field, or just wants quality outdoor wear, The Perfect Hide brings name-brand tactical equipment to one convenient spot. This retail side makes the venue useful not just for playing, but for gearing up properly before a session.

Staff, Atmosphere, and the Everyday Details

The people running Ricochet Tactical are a big part of why guests keep coming back. Reviews consistently mention friendly, helpful staff who make the experience smooth from check-in to the final round, and referees who keep games lively and fair. The venue is described as a hidden gem tucked inside a bazaar-like mall, where the team is quick to point newcomers in the right direction. It’s a cash-only establishment, so visitors should plan accordingly. Practical touches matter here too — players are advised to bring water bottles, and the facility recommends sweatshirts, sweatpants, and gloves for airsoft, with full-covered footwear required. The private party rooms give groups a place to gather, eat, and unwind between or after games. With its mix of airsoft, NERF, dodgeball, gel blasters, mini golf, and a well-stocked shop, Ricochet Tactical offers a genuinely varied day out for families, friends, and tactical enthusiasts alike.
