Brilliant for energetic kids, but expect waiting, muddy kit and paintball prices that bite.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
GO Action Forest is an outdoor paintball and laser tag venue in Surrey, with the kids’ laser tag taking place in the woods beside a covered seating area. Reviews suggest it works well for birthday parties and school-age groups, with activities split into timed sessions and lunch built in. The setup sounds more adventure camp than soft-play slog, which is exactly the point. The big win here is how much fun the children seem to have. Parents mention brilliant games, energetic staff, and a format that lets kids run around, team up and get properly stuck in. The laser tag kit tracks hits and locks players out briefly when they’re tagged, which sounds like it keeps things moving and stops arguments before they start. It also seems well organised for parties, with staff happy to answer questions and accommodate cake, extra food and requests. It’s not exactly a low-effort outing. Reviews mention a lot of waiting, especially if you arrive early, and the toilets are clean but not plentiful. Food is onsite, but the coffee is only for those marooned in spectator purgatory, and paintballs are expensive. Wet weather also matters: one reviewer found waterproof layers and spare socks essential. Great fun, but not a polished day out for parents who want comfort and convenience first.
Two-minute orientation

Forest-based laser tag and paintball with proper team games in the woods. Best for school-age children and teens; 7-year-olds can manage laser tag. Good staff, decent organisation, but cafes, queues and extras are a bit of a faff.
