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 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!

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.

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.
