Description

Context Children's paintball in Madrid takes place at two specialized fields: Navalcarnero and Villalba. Together, these sites cover over 300,000 m² and feature 16 themed maps, including real military vehicles such as BMR tanks and helicopters, along with natural obstacles and constructed terrain. The activity is available throughout the year except in August, with low difficulty and designed for children aged 7 and older. At Villalba, the wind carries the scent of pine and damp earth, enhancing immersion in the natural environment.

The Experience After receiving child-sized safety gear—low-power markers, vests, and face masks—and a clear safety briefing, children move through realistic battle zones for 60 to 120 minutes of gameplay. Each group is supervised by a dedicated monitor who ensures safety, fairness, and energetic participation. The soft sound of markers firing and the rustle of leaves underfoot create a dynamic yet controlled atmosphere.

For Whom This activity is suitable for children aged 7 and older with good mobility and a desire to play outdoors. It’s also ideal for school groups, families, and birthday celebrations seeking a safe, supervised, and active experience. Not recommended for children under 7, individuals with limited mobility, or those with medical conditions that restrict moderate physical activity.

Local Context The fields are located in areas with both natural and military history: Navalcarnero, near the Xanadú shopping center, and Villalba, nestled in the Sierra de Madrid. Local communities appreciate these facilities for promoting active play and healthy social interaction among children in open spaces, while respecting the surrounding environment and regional traditions.
