Whether you’re ultra competitive or just looking to spend a day with the family, New Jersey is home to an array of paintball and laser tag facilities. You and your NJ kids can run through rough terrain racing for the flag while being pegged with paint pellets, or take the kinder, gentler route of being "tagged" with a infrared light--however you slice it, here are some of the best paintball and laser tag venues in our play-happy state.
