No More Vaccine Mandates
Starting from the 1st of March, vaccine mandates will be dropped for Private Events!
Up to 30 people in the Party Room and up to 15 people in one court!
We have all sorts of activities to offer, participate in a team building event, or just have a blast! Come find out what's happening!
Combat Archery
Think about the last time you played dodgeball with a bow and arrows. You were able to shoot at your friends, but they could also return fire! It's like playing extreme Hunger Games style - only instead of being thrown into survival frenzy, we have rules!
Ricochets don’t count, your bow or arrow also counts as an extension of your body, you wear helmets and the arrows are foam-tipped so you get to witness and feel the impact without the arrow being dangerous.
Nerf wars
Evolve from a hunter with bow and arrows to a sniper with our Nerf Blaster Guns! Use a variety of the guns we offer like the Nerf Surgefire or Nerf Strongarm to mow down your opponents upclose or from afar!
It's true that these are some of the best games for kids. They're also great to play with friends or family members, and whether you're playing with friends, family or kids - these battlefields are great for any age group in our many different game modes such as Wars & Capture the Flag!
Bubble soccer
What if you could play soccer with bubbles? Well, now people can!
It's called Bubble Soccer and it is so much fun. The bubble suits will make you feel like an unstoppable force in this activity where all boundaries disappear including gravity or friction from solid surfaces.
Even air resistance won’t hold back our elastic bodies as we bounce off friends safely thanks to these magic suits. You'll be running, tumbling and rolling around without even realizing that time is passing by until it's over too quickly!
The suits are cleaned and sanitized before and after each session, so don't worry about getting sweaty or corona when playing!
Blacklight dodgeball / basketball
We always love having new dodgeball experiences, and this time around it will be especially fun as not only you’ll be bringing back nostalgic childhood memories, they will also be glow in the dark!
Play clean and safe indoors while having a music dance party. You can provide the music or we can do it for you. You should wear bright-colored clothes so they will be easier to see and play with.
Saber wars
Relive your Star War’s fantasy by joining the ranks of the Jedi Council or succumbing to the dark side! Defend Princess Leia from being captured or (if you’re bringing kids) reenact the infamous Youngling’s scene 😈
Beginner archery training
Maybe you don’t want to shoot at your friends? Or to perfect your aim before stepping onto the battlefield and rack up those headshots?
Our coaches are ready for you with a one hour long session that includes digital targets and plenty of room at their disposal. They will guide everyone through different games such as Around The World or Headshot Bob where each player gets an opportunity shoot themselves in order improve accuracy/speed ratios (or both!). There's no need wait any longer - get practicing today by contacting us now!
Personal scores and stats can be generated and if you compare yourself across the different session, you’ll be able to measure your progress and improvement! Plus if one person has been playing longer than another maybe they know some secrets that might give an edge?
karaoke party room
Looking for a space where you can bring your own food and drinks?
The perfect place to host an birthday party, team building event or gathering with family! Our karaoke room is the right size, it can hold up to 24 people and we have a bunch of amenities inside such as unlimited billiards, foosball, board games and more!
private gym space and basketball courts
At $12 per person per hour - minimum 2 people charge on weekdays, and minimum 4 people charge on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - we offer a private gym space if you want to exercise without having to worry about a monthly subscription or other outside people.
Train with no judgment during your session and lose all those extra pounds built up in quarantine!
We're Back Open, Hope You're Ready To Play!
Now that we’ve re-opened, things have been going GREAT thanks to awesome customers like YOU! Yeah, we’re talking to you. Thanks to all who have come back to play so far. We’re so grateful that you’ve remembered us after all this time away, and that you’re coming back to get active and have fun! You’ve gotten bubbled up for epic matches of Bubble Soccer, battled it out with family in strategic games of Combat Archery, and everything in between. We’ve been loving seeing people come out and let loose again.
THINGS ARE PICKING UP
We’ve been very busy, and are starting to fill up our days at capacity (based on Ontario’s Step 3 rules). That being said, please be sure to BOOK AHEAD! That’s the way to ensure you save your spot for your next gathering, B-Day, or battle to solve your latest family dispute. We are operating at 50% capacity as per the guidelines, and with our two large courts, archery range, gym, party room, and 4 separate entrances, this is isn’t a problem.
IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK
You can still play all your favourite activities: Combat Archery, Nerf Wars, Saber Wars, Bubble Soccer, and Blacklight Dodgeball. As well as a fun new addition, glow in the dark Basketball, which can be done on its own, or as apart of your Blacklight Dodgeball game. You can also rent our courts to play some regular B-Ball with your friends. And of course, we still have target archery and advanced archery lessons for those who want to channel their inner Hawkeye or Katniss. We can never be too ready for the zombie apocalypse after all. We have expert coaches, and up to 50 pound bows that you can shoot as we progress you through the lesson.
COME PLAY
So all that being said, it’s time to lose some of that lockdown weight in the most fun ways possible. Come get active with us at Archers Arena and learn that exercise doesn’t have to be a chore, birthdays can be a blast, and work parties CAN be fun after all. If you have any hesitations know that we prided ourselves on keeping things super clean before the pandemic, but have taken things to a whole new level to ensure your safety, and ours. Between uses, our bows, Bubble Soccer bubbles, Nerf blasters, and all of our equipment are now cleaned thoroughly with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilized and deodorized with UVC lights. We’re ready if you are. Just remember to BOOK AHEAD to guarantee your spot.
Thanks again to all who have come out so far, it’s been great seeing so many familiar players, and lots of new ones too. We’ll see you soon, in the Arena!

P.S. During the lockdowns we were keeping quite busy on TikTok and went from 10K to almost 350K followers. Be sure to follow us here to keep up to date with all things Archers Arena, and hopefully get entertained and learn something along the way. You can also check us out on Instagram or Facebook.
We're Coming Back!
Hey everybody! As Ontario gets closer to step 3, we’re getting ready to re-open, and we’re now taking pre-bookings for mid July. We have all your favourite activities to choose from, such as Combat Archery, Nerf Wars, Bubble Soccer, Dodgeball or Saber Wars. We’ve also recently added basketball and a full weight gym! If all that isn’t enough for you, we even have Toronto’s only 100ft indoor Archery Range so you and your apocalypse team can train for the next “hunger games”. Or just practice your aim.
Here at Archers Arena, we’ve taken this time off to reflect on what worked best, and what needed improving. Especially focusing on how to deliver the same fun experience in a post COVID world. Our cleaning procedures were always top notch, but we’ve taken them to a whole new level by thoroughly cleaning and washing our gear with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilizing and deodorizing with UVC lights.
We’ve compartmentalized the Arena and all of our bookings now have their own separate entrances. When you come it, you’ll NEVER mix with another group. We’ve even made it easier to book online in case some of your friends bail on you (it’s sad but it happens). Now when you book online, it won’t charge you, and everyone can pay separately or in one lump sum on the day. The only way you would get charged is if nobody shows up. The no show fee is only for 4 people max. Even if you booked for 10 or more. This is to try to ensure the initial organizers of the fun don’t get penalized anymore if a few of their flakey friends are no shows.
One of the other big upgrades we’re in the process of getting ready for you is a brand new, MUCH bigger party room. Equip with a pool table, photo booth, foosball, with lots of extra space to social distance. It’s going to be the PERFECT place to hang out and celebrate with your friends and fam. In between pelting each other with foam arrows of course.
During the lockdowns we were also keeping quite busy on TikTok and went from 10K to over 250K followers. Be sure to follow us here to keep up to date with all things Archers Arena, and hopefully get entertained and learn something along the way. You can also check us out on Instagram or Facebook.
There’s light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re so excited to see you guys again! Book your next birthday party now!
See you soon players!

Toronto Has Gone Back To A Modified Stage 2 And We Are Limiting Our Services
Hello amazing customers and community of Archers Arena. We regret to inform you that we’ll be limiting our services until at least mid November. We were having fun starting up again with you all, but COVID cases are on the rise and new limitations have been put on indoor groups and recreational sports. Toronto, Ottawa, and Peel Region are going back to a modified stage 2. For the time being, we are limiting our services to only training sessions. That means either Target Archery, shooting on our range, or Archery Lessons. We based the decision to just stick to training on the guidelines below.
This way we can meet the requirements and keep everyone super safe in our 10,000 square foot facility. We hope you are all staying happy and healthy these uncertain times. Our hearts go out to all those affected by COVID as well as those affected by the lockdowns. Hang in there, stay strong, and know that we’ll get past this together. As one of the last standing Combat Archery facilities in Toronto we’ve gone through pretty much everything by now. We know the road before us won’t be easy and may be more of a mountain, but we will figure out how to adapt and climb it, we always have.
We’re passionate about all of our activities and giving people of all ages an extremely fun workout, and a place to play. Really though, we’re passionate about you guys. Whether it’s those who have just come once for a birthday, bachelor party, bar mitzvah, or those who are a part of our amazing and ever expanding Combat Archery Community. We’ve celebrated and played so much with you all, and we look forward to doing it again. Thanks for the good times, and trusting us with your days and nights of fun.
We wish you all the absolute best. Take care of each other, stay kind, stay safe, and we’ll hopefully see you all very soon!
Much love!
-Team Archers Arena
To stay in the loop with all our latest updates, and see some of the fun content we have planned for this quiet month, check us out on Facebook, Instagram, or Tik Tok. We’ve got a bit of time on our hands and we’re going to be spending some of it entertaining and educating about all things Combat Archery and beyond.
Keeping Things Safe Since Day 1
Safety has always been our number one priority since Archers Arena opened. For starters, when Sam Lai (owner of the Arena) started playing Combat Archery, he noticed that getting shot on side of the face or on the top of the head still stung a bit. This led him to implement hockey helmets instead of paintball masks.
WE’LL PROTECT YOUR NOGGIN
Nothing against the places that use paintball masks, but the feedback we were getting was that people were finding it a bit hard to breath, and the paintball masks weren’t really doing the job with the full force the foam arrows could potentially hit with. A hockey helmet is built to withstand a puck to the face. This makes the hockey helmet a much nicer choice while being pelted with a foam arrow. People can bring their own, or use one of ours, which we thoroughly clean wash with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilize and deodorize with a UVC light so you can put your battle gear on with peace of mind.
CHANGING THE BOW
Another successful change we’ve made along the way is that we used to play with heavier bows. At a whopping 30 pounds it was very easy to get back at your boss on team-building day. We then reduced the bows to 22 pounds and found it led to way less painful hits. That made the game a much more inclusive experience for people of all comfort levels with the sport. We also use the thickest foam you can buy anywhere for our arrow tips. This helps to ensure your mighty uncle Hank doesn’t bruise your sweet aunt Mod, and everyone can have a good time.
HOLD. HOLD. HOLD.
The hold command was an addition by a past coach. If someone yells hold, everyone is trained to get down on one knee and do the same. Coaches teach everyone about this important command. This is in case anything is wrong or there are any safety concerns on the court. If you’re having a great time and somebody gets injured, no one is having a good time. Before we can have fun, we must be safe. That is our number one rule. We never want people to leave injured. This applies to our coaches and staff, as well as our customers.
ARM GUARDS
Arm guards are something we implanted right away. We saw people leaving other facilities with bruises or cuts on their arms from the bowstrings. We don’t think it’s necessary to risk drawing blood at your niece’s birthday party. So sanitized armguards are available for anyone who wants to use them.
SHIELD YOUR FAMILY JEWLS
Something no one ever asked for is a used jock. Can you imagine the horror of checking in and out sweaty jocks like shoes at a bowling ally? We wouldn’t want to do that to you, or our staff. However, we do 100% recommend that men wear a jock to avoid becoming a permanent soprano. Okay, we’re being a bit dramatic but we have definitely seen some pretty nasty crotch shots, and feel it’s better safe than sorry. You can ask any of our regulars, a jock is the way to go.
A CULTURE OF SAFETY
We guess the point we’re making here is that safety has always been a priority for us at Archers Arena. When COVID-19 changed the world, we were ready. We’ve been dealing with large groups, birthday parties, shared equipment, and much more for many years before this. We’ve always been cutting edge in the safety department and we’re not going to stop now. There’s nothing fun about getting hurt or sick when you just wanted a fun night out, and rest assured, at Archers Arena we go above and beyond when it comes to keeping things clean and safe during all of our awesome activities.

A Love Letter To Combat Archery
The first time I tried Combat Archery (also known as Archery Tag) at Archers Arena in Toronto was for a friends B-day. I enjoyed it, but the main thing I noticed was how quickly it went by and how good of a workout it was. It’s a really good workout. I was surprised. After a few hours of running around and pelting my friends with arrows, I was absolutely exhausted, sweating, and my crotch region hurt a lot. This is because I didn’t take the website’s advice and wear a jock, so I got pegged square in the nut sack a few times.
Disclaimer #1: Wear A Jock
Anyway, we happened to show up on a night called “Community Night”, which fell on a Friday. So there were other archers there, some new to the game like us, but also some more seasoned players. The vibe was friendly, and at the end of the evening the coach welcomed us back. They said something like “we do this every Friday”. On the drive home, I pondered. I’d wanted to make some big changes moving into the New Year and a workout routine was one of them. I asked myself if this could be a sport I could play every week, and the quick answer was “Hell Yes!” As the great Charles Bukowski once said, “go all the way.” So I went all in.
Disclaimer #2: Go All The Way
I made a promise to go play Combat Archery at least once a week, and was able to make that consistent. I played every Friday, and on Tuesdays sometimes too. The months passed, and just like with many things, as I put more time and practice in, I kept getting better. I was no longer as scared to face off against some of the best players. I even started entering into tournaments that took place in Toronto at Archers Arena, and in Ottawa at Archery Games. I met so many great people and incredibly skilled Archery Combat players at those tournaments. Players hailing from Montreal’s Combat D’Archers, folks from Archery Games in Boston, and from Vancouver’s 6 Pack Beach, which I even got to go visit and and join in their community night on their awesome indoor sand court. Now, I’m not trying to pretend like I went to some Archery Combat boot camp where I did nothing but breath, eat, sleep, and poop the sport until I came out a hardened archer warrior… but I did immerse myself in the community, and I was consistent.
Disclaimer #3: Be Consistent
With anything in life really, to see progress, you have to be consistent. Chip away at it, slowly but surely. That’s why I feel that if you’re interested in diving into Combat Archery, or another passion of some sort, really give it time. Understand that you’re going to fail a bunch, that’s part of the fun. Honestly, I’ve listened to an unhealthy amount of motivational speakers in my lifetime and I would say that one of the most common threads in all of the conflicting noise is that we must embrace failure. I’ve had my good days and bad days. For starters, I can proudly say I’ve worn a jock every time since that first fateful day when my gonads were threatened. See, I learned from my first fatal error, adjusted, and improved. There were lots of these little improvements, and still are. The gang is starting to call me the “human net” because I catch everything, but you think this was always the case? I was pummelled with foam arrow after foam arrow until I really started to hone my catching skills.
Disclaimer #4: It’s About The Community
When it all comes down to it, it really is about the community. It would be fun to take all the credit for how far I’ve come in this sport, but that would be a flat out lie and I’d deserve to be full drawed at point blank in the tallywacker (no cup). It’s the community that has kept me coming back, the coaches, the regulars, the newbies, everyone. Without getting too sentimental, there are many great people who come and go from Archers Arena, as well as some just as great people from other facilities that we’ve competed against along the way. We all come from so many different backgrounds, careers, and life experiences. However, we are brought together by one common thing, the love of Combat Archery.
Disclaimer #5: Find a Common Goal
For whatever reason, us Combat Archers enjoy aggressively launching foam arrows at each other, or maybe it’s the games, or the competition we love. Either way, it’s amazing how this shared interest can bring out such a wide array of people. We go to battle on the court, but in between it’s all smiles. It makes me think about our species, and this wacky time we live in. It makes me wonder if we’d all be better off, and much happier, spending our moments on this earth focusing on the ways we’re the same rather than the ways we are different.
Disclaimer #6: We’re All In This Together
I’ve been playing this sport for over a year and a half now, and honestly, I have more fun every time I come out. As things are opening back up and regulations are loosening over group activities, I understand that times have changed. All businesses that host Combat Archery are having to adjust the ways they operate. The good news is that by the nature of this sport being a group activity with shared equipment, these establishments have been ahead of the curb on cleanliness and safety. I know that if we all work together, and learn from each others communities, we will get through this uncertain time. In doing so we’re going to come out of this pandemic stronger and safer than ever. Looking forward to the day when we can all join together again for another epic tournament, but until then, much love, and keep aiming!

Archery Lessons For Kids @ Archers Arena
We recently had a lovely lady bring in her daughter for a one on one archery lesson. It was her kids first time trying out archery, and she had an absolute blast. As they were leaving The Arena, the young girl beaming with joy, her mother mentioned she wished she’d known about this sooner. Well, that’s why we’re writing up this blog post, so that doesn’t happen again. We want to make sure that you and your family are aware of this incredible service we offer here at Archer’s Arena.
If you’re in the Toronto area and looking for a fun activity for your child, look no further than archery lessons at Archer’s Arena. For only $40.00/hr per person, we can work with kids as young as 5 years old, and help them form a strong foundation in the incredible sport of archery. It’s interactive, fun, and challenging. Due to COVID-19, it’s been a hard year for everyone, but especially kids who have lost many of their extra-curricular activities. This is why we feel strongly that this is the perfect, safe, and socially distanced sport to try out.
We find many children after only 20 minutes with one of our coaches, gain confidence, and develop a passion for archery. We’ll have them hitting targets in no time, and feeling great about themselves, and their new skills.
The Equipment:
We know what you’re thinking… “Archery for children, you must be mad!”. Well there’s zero need to worry as we always start the training with foam tip arrows. That’s right, FOAM TIPPED ARROWS. They can be shot point blank at you without leaving a mark. These are the same arrows we use when groups come to play Archery Combat at our facility. For archery lessons, If your child is 10 and over, they can move to real sharp tip and field tip arrows eventually. This is only once they are comfortable with the safety protocols, and they move from beginner to intermediate in their skill level. You and the coach will be able to gauge when and if they are ready.
We have bows ranging from 15 pounds to 30 pounds, but find the most popular and easy to use among the young crowds are the 15 pound bow from PSE archery, or the 18 pound bow from Bear Archery.
Health and Safety:
We realize that folks in Toronto still have COVID concerns and we take extreme precautions at our faculty to ensure that every touched item is cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol as well as sterilized after each use with a UV-C light so you and your little archer can have complete peace of mind. We also currently require all our customers and staff to wear masks.
Are You Raising The Next Katniss or Robin Hood?
There’s only one way to find out. You can book your child a spot today by reaching out to us at info@archersarena.com or giving us a call at (647) 992-7362. They’ll love it! We hope to see you and your family at our facility (located in Toronto), and once you all get yourselves trained and ready, perhaps it’ll be time to jump into the Arena and battle it out together in an action packed game of Combat Archery.
