Visited this complex several times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The employees are great and provide a welcoming and fun atmosphere, sometimes even joining the games. They provide a facemask and forearm cover for protection against arrows hitting your face and string burn from the bow. It's quite a small arena which makes it less challenging as you can hit the enemy from wall to wall, but you can dodge easily. The varying game modes the employees introduce change things up and make it more interesting. They have sniper style towers and are used for some of the game modes which are super fun to use and are a good addition. They have a locker room to store your stuff and have a washroom. I believe they are adding a changeroom but I'm not certain.

Never knew archery tag would be this legit. Everything was awesome and def this is something someone should experience at least once. Firing a bow and arrow is really easy when you follow the instructors directions to a T. The different game modes were fun, but for the sake of team balance and more fun combinations, I was expecting them to jumble up the teams for each game mode, but throughout the one hour session we kept the same compositions. Although maybe that was my fault for not requesting we switch teams up. Boys vs girls would've been fun.
P.s. the staff is really fun and awesome, and I liked the tidbit at the end about how much exercise we got. My legs are still sore.

I've been here twice now, and I absolutely love the experience. The coaches//staffs are extremely nice and very helpful. Both times I played the combat version and it was very fun. You get to play 5 different games during your booking. You get to meet new people, and try new games. It's kinda scary at the thought of getting shot at, especially when you are playing with competitive people. But the coaches made it enjoyable. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for something new to try out and meet new people.

Archers Arena offers a great activity for a bunch of friends looking to have a fun time. The staff is very helpful in teaching you how to handle a bow and how to shoot. The activities are very fun and very engaging, and they provide a great work out. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to host a birthday party or if you're just with a group of friends.

everytime i go alone or with a group of friends it's extremely fun. They have different types of games so it doesn't get boring. It's great for people looking to be active, meet new people, team build or competitive.

The staff are friendly and the archery game was a lot of fun. They include many small games in one session which makes it more interesting. I wish they would have recommended we stretch before and after the session, you have to bend to the ground every time you pick up an arrow (so it's like you're doing a lot of squats) and stretching would have helped the sore muscles.

I am glad to call Archer's Arena my second home! I come here every Friday for community night and it's a fabulous environment to be in. The place is extremely clean and futuristic. The staff are out if this world caring and the activities are perfect for a fun experience filled with adrenaline and excitement.

Such an incredible time at Archers Arena! A group of 10 went for my friends bachelor party. We had never experienced combat archery before. Our group leader Josh was very good. He took his time to train us. He was also very funny. If you want an awesome workout, mixed with skill/strategy, this is definitely for you. We'll be back! :)

Had a great time, but its really the individual players that ruin the experience. People seriously go here to just defy the game rules and make it a horrible experience for players taking the game rules seriously. The attendants fear confrontation and do nothing.

Although its my archerytag place of choice is a 50/50 chance youll have a positive experience during busy times, they pack to many people in, its feeling more and more like those attractions where they get as many tickets sold as possible and negate the actual experience of the game when you cant move without hitting eachother packed like sardines

These guys are incredibly enthusiastic despite probably training a lot of people everyday and constantly running around. The different games they have are creative and super high energy. Amazing customer service and very welcoming. Arena itself is fun to play in. Instructions are clear and you feel like a pro early on. Highly recommended!

You must add this place to your to-do list if you are person who enjoys having fun through adventurous sport. I played archery and the host was amazing. Hilarious, nice concepts for group events. Definitely a must go place for team events.

Came here with the family about a month ago and loved it! We had a fun time playing nerf wars. Jay and Dennis (or what is Danny?) were excellent at making everyone in the group feel welcomed and they were always there to help explain the game rules and how to use the tools. A great workout as well! My legs were sore the next day. Will certainly come back to check out their other games next. Parking was not an issue; there is parking in the strip plaza where they ware located

I've visited Archers Arena on several occasions and have tried the Nerf Wars (for adults) and Archery Tag. It's a fun and exhilarating. I would recommend the archery tag over the nerf wars for the simple fact that the nerf guns (for adults) jam occasionally which is a little bit of a nuisance during a war :).

The staff are accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. The instructors have personality and are willing to go the extra mile so the patrons are having fun and being safe with the equipment. Highly recommend for group activities.

The added bonus to going to Archers Arena, games/battles are coordinated by staff and there's ref at all times.

The location is close to the bus stop and car accessible. They have lockers available for your things (bring your own lock) and it's a clean facility.

The staff here are awesome, they really care about making it fun for everyone. They give each of us tips on how to improve our form during practice and even during the game. There are loads of game modes to play for archery tag so you'll never be bored.

A group of 5 of us came here for my buddy's bachelor party. We had to wait a little bit for another group to arrive to pair up with, but once we were all there everything went great. The staff took us through the safety briefing, made sure that everyone was capable of shooting a bow, and let us practice for a bit before bringing us out for the game. The game itself was really fun. There are lots of different game modes (elimination, paladin, president, etc.), each with their own rules and each was lots of fun. If we're ever back in Toronto I'd definitely like to come back here

Great place to have fun while getting a good workout. If you go in with a group of >10 people, it will be ideal. Lots of running involved but it's loads of fun and the coaches are pretty knowledgeable...Will go again!

Friendly, fantastic, fun place to go to. If/when you have no plans, call and check for any open games - it is a lot of fun. I've tried Nerf and Combat Archery both, both are good workouts but Archery is more intense. Kudos to coach Wayne. Highly recommended for birthdays.

Fun place to go for all active ages. I've been there as a father and son for lessons. As well we took the a hockey team of 12 year olds there for a team party. On both occasions we had a blast. The serious professional archer might not get the high standards of discipline they'd want. But that's not what this is about. It's just a fun game to play.

Great place this is. Our trainer was hysterical! We told him we're vulgar and to not hold back. It was phenomenal. The games were awesome. These guys add another level of gameplay with the swords and sheilds. I didn't think the Nerf wars was going to be that fun but we had a blast. So much fun the overall experience. Oh btw, that gif is my boss getting it right in the nards! Didn't flinch though, man of steel perhaps? Lol

This is a really fun and physically active place for a group of friends. Last time we went was a birthday party, I didn't really enjoy it that much. The head protective gear was uncomfortable for me since I wear glasses. It took time for me to learn how to shoot the bow as well. Although, this place is fun for a lot of my friends which is the reason why I gave this 4-stars.

Based on the Archery Lessons - Although this is not what I expected it was fun.

I was looking for more a of technical how to improve my shooting, this was far from it. This ended up being and hour of a quick how to shoot a bow kind of lesson. Nothing really technical about it.

Purchased the 1 hour lesson through groupon. Great Price.

It was fun none the less.

Peter was great and kept it light, humorous and challenging. Thanks for the Freezie!

In archers arena you will have a very fun and intense game. If you have a team or you have some friends who want to play as a group, i recommend you book the tournament. If you want to join the game with other people, you can book archery tags. They are holding tournament every month, come and win your prize. XD

My girlfriend and I were given an opportunity to revisit Archers Arena during a regular night session (as opposed to Community Night as we did the first time around).

Our experience this second time was absolutely impeccable. The staff paid attention to all the groups and set up a safe and fun environment for all.

When we first visited Archers Arena on a Community Night, my girlfriend and I felt disadvantaged as we played against regulars that frequent and train at Archers Arena. We were only beginners, and the experience left some to be desired.

On our second visit, we were matched with groups at our skill level. This allowed for a much better more enjoyable experience.

The game modes were varied and interesting, the equipment look to be well taken care off, the practice area is super fun, and the lobby has a few activities to keep you entertained.

Huge props to the team at Archers Arena. On the second night, thanks to Sam, Peter, and Tim for all the fun and cardio. The team here actually care about their customers. Mad props.

Based on my second visit, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot to anyone interested in some friendly archery games in Toronto. It's a blast!

-- original review follows --

Went on a community Night; archery was fun as hell. Only problem is that my group, a bunch of archery noobs, were playing in an arena with seasoned pros (some that work there).

Got a couple of bruises and didn't feel like i had much of an impact in the arena.

Probably enjoyed the target practice outside of the arena more than the games in the arena itself. :(.

Absolutely amazing. Booked archery and bubble soccer. Archery was a blast. We played a variety of games in short burst so that there was no boredom at any point. My personal favorite was 'Towers'. Bubble soccer is fun but exhausting. Miguel was our coach and he made the experience 100x better. He was a great teacher for archery and kept everyone engaged. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend a visit.

Awesome place! Staff are super accommodating and friendly. Came in with a group of 8 and we had a great time. The coach was energetic through out the day which rubbed off on us. Definitely coming back closer to summer time.
