Reservations also include a table in which you can bring in snacks or catered food and non-alcoholic beverages. There is no additional charge for guests wishing to not play, they are welcome to watch through spectator windows.
Q: Do you have any fun or unique stories about Splatball bachelor(ette) parties that you can share with us?

A: Our venue is very fun, easygoing and simple to plan a party. Parties may be booked online and we have everything you need! You can also call nearby bars (Psycho Suzies and Betty Dangers) for your after-party!
Q: How far in advance should a Splatball package for a bachelor(ette) party?
A: You can actually book a party the day of (if times are still available) but we recommend booking about two weeks out for ideal reservations.
Q: Anything else do you want couples to know Splatball?
A: Yeah, before booking check out our specials. Right now The Bachelor and or Bachelorette play for free with a promo code! Also, note that our paintballs wash out of clothing but they’re harder to get out of the limo or bus seats. Groups can bring extra clothes to change into.
