Redhills Adventure Birthday

Looking for the perfect birthday party venue in Kildare? Make your next birthday a Redhills Adventure Birthday!

Splatmaster Junior Paintball

Splatmaster is a low impact tag combat sport that shoots color filled round Ammo resulting in a Splat. The Ammo is 100% biodegradable, non toxic, resists stains, and easily washes away with water.

After a short safety briefing, you play against other players in a number of game scenarios such as Territories and Capture the flag. You will feel some impact (or the game doesn’t work), but it is much more tame than regular Paintball. Splatmaster is safe, fun, thoroughly enjoyable and suitable for ages 8-12s.

Splatmaster is played in a realistic game zone similiar to Airsoft. This goes down well with the kiddies who are not old enough yet to play Airsoft. It is a tamer version of Airsoft so ideal for children aged 8 and up. We can accommodate large groups or if you are only a few players you can join our popular open Splatmaster skirmishes each month. For more information on pricing click here

 Archery Tag

Archery Tag is soaring in popularity, propelled by the Hunger Games series and hit TV shows Game of Thrones and Walking Dead in which bows feature prominently as the weapon of choice.

Developed in the US, Archery Tag pits two teams against each other in a dodgeball-type battle. But instead of balls, players try to take each other out with custom-made, foam tipped arrows. Unlike Paintball, you won’t get bruised or hurt all over for days!

The official version of the game is played by two teams with five players each, but it can be played with teams consisting of as few as four players or as many as 10.

Book your Archery Tag session with us today and see what all the fuss is about!

Archery Tag is fun, very safe and simple to get the hang of. It’s suitable for all ages from your 10 year old to the CEO of your company as we have 16lb to 28lb bows for whatever your strenght! Perfect for Birthday parties, Stag and Hen parties, Corporate Events and more. We operate Archery Tag on the road also so we can come to you!

Archery Tag involves: an area the size of a five aside pitch or larger. Archery Tag sessions last 1.5 hours and can be played with as little as 8 players to much larger groups.

Teachers and Facilities

We recognise that the teachers need some attention as well, so we supply travelling teachers with free lunch, tea and coffee. Our activity zones are fully supervised with Garda vetted and trained instructors who have an excellent understanding of looking after groups of young children to ensure all involved have a fun and safe day out.

Onsite Tuck Shop – Sweets and Treats

Changing Facilities – Due to the large number of children involved, our conventional changing facilities can often delay proceedings so we provide a boys and girls outdoor sheltered area to change which must be supervised by the teachers. If a private changing area is required, please advise in advance.

Lunch Area
Our large indoor seating area (non activity) is perfect for bad weather should it occur. In most instances and to ensure maximum activity time, we generally host breaks in the outdoor game zones. Teachers will be provided with a seated and sheltered area overlooking the game zones.

Weather
Redhills Adventure is an outdoor centre and we operate no matter what the weather (within reason). We have shelters installed in the game zones and a large indoor registration area (non-activity) for lunch break if necessary. None of our activities involve water however should it rain, a change of clothes is recommended. All children participating in Splatmaster must have legs and arms covered.

Bus Parking and Locating Us
We recently upgraded our bus parking facilities. We are located 5kms outside Kildare Town. The roads are suitable for double decker coaches. Please refer your bus company to us if they have any questions regarding getting to us. We are on Google Maps.
