Columbia Opens Exciting New Paintball Facility for Adventure Seekers

Columbia Welcomes a New Spot for Paintball Enthusiasts!

Columbia residents, get ready to unleash your inner warrior! The city has just welcomed a vibrant new addition to the local adventure scene – Lexington Paintball! Located at 1789 Two Notch Rd., this fantastic facility held its soft opening last weekend and is already making waves. For those who love the thrill of paintball, or even for those curious about trying it out, this spot has something for everyone.

Meet the Owner

The brainchild behind this exciting venture is Eli Lykes, a retired Army veteran who has strong roots in Columbia. He shared that the idea for Lexington Paintball was sparked by his desire to create a fun, safe place for the community to enjoy. Eli’s passion for bringing people together through friendly competition really shines through in his words. “Come out and play, bring the kids and family members, or even business organizations that would like to do team building events… this is something for all different age groups,” he emphasizes.

What to Expect

Lexington Paintball is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. To ensure everyone has a fantastic experience, the facility operates on a reservations-only basis during the week. However, weekends are perfect for individual players to join in on the fun without prior reservations. The paintball fields currently cover about 2.5 acres of the total 15 acres available, which allows for thrilling matches with 50-60 players at a time.

Eli mentions some exciting future plans as well, noting that they might add another paintball field nestled within the woods on the property. Imagine darting through nature while trying to dodge a paintball – sounds exhilarating, doesn’t it?

Worry-Free Fun for Everyone!

Are you new to paintball and don’t have your own gear? No problem! Lexington Paintball has you covered with rentals for all equipment on-site, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. All the essentials are available, from paintball markers to protective gear, making it super easy for newcomers to jump into the action.

But wait, there’s more! You’ll also find a range of merchandise and refreshments to keep your energy up while you’re dodging and diving. Plus, there are various package options tailored to different players’ preferences, along with special group pricing for reservations. You can check out all the details about these packages on their official website.

A Growing Success

Even though Lexington Paintball has just opened its doors, Eli has already noticed a heartwarming response from the community. “It’s very exciting to see people booking their reservations and witnessing the smiles on their faces when they come out. It’s a good feeling,” he says, visibly thrilled about the positive feedback. After six to eight months of hard work to bring this vision to life, it’s wonderful to see it finally come to fruition.
