Paintball Fields in Illinois

By area: Millstadt

• Aggressive Paintball
  Indoor · Chicago Ridge, IL

  Indoor paintball in Chicago Ridge: climate controlled, predictable, and a common pick for parties and corporate groups.

• Chilli Paintball
  Multi-Field · Chillicothe, IL

  One of Illinois's multi-format sites. Worth a call to ask which fields are open the day you want to play.

• Badlandz Paintball Field
  Multi-Field · Crete, IL · website

  Badlandz has been operating since 1996 and is the closest field to Chicago, roughly half an hour from the Loop. Depending on how the site is configured it runs more than twenty separate maps, enough to host a big game, a tournament and private groups at the same time. Two things set it apart: walk-ons may bring their own paint rather than buying on site, and open play is separated by skill level, so beginners are not lined up against regulars.

• Paintball Explosion
  Multi-Field · East Dundee, IL · website

  Paintball Explosion occupies the grounds of the old Santa's Village amusement park in East Dundee, about 40 minutes from Chicago, and leans hard into the theming: fields built as movie-quality sets modelled on the shooters people actually play. There are themed outdoor fields plus indoor play, so weather is not a factor, along with a large indoor laser tag arena, airsoft, low-impact paintball, and a bar and grill on site. Paved parking, heating and air conditioning, and real plumbing.
