DodgeArrows is Maryland’s premier arrow tag, laser tag, and party venue located in Millersville, near Annapolis. Think dodgeball meets archery — players use lightweight bows with foam-tipped arrows in an action-packed arena. It’s safe, fun, and perfect for all ages 8 and up. We’re rated 4.9 stars with 510+ five-star reviews on Google.

No experience required! Nearly all players have never used a bow before. Our custom-designed, lightweight bows are simple and safe for ages 6+. Each session includes a quick orientation where our staff teaches loading, aiming, and shooting — you’ll be ready to play within about 5 minutes.

Not at all! Unlike paintball, DodgeArrows doesn’t hurt. All arrows have soft foam tips, and protective goggles are required (provided free). You’ll feel the arrow impact but it’s completely safe — comparable to a light dodgeball tag. No welts, no bruises, just pure fun and competition.

Wear comfortable athletic clothing you can move in. Sneakers are best for mobility, though Crocs or socks work too. Pants are recommended if you plan on sliding (turf can be tough on knees), but shorts are fine. We provide all equipment — bows, foam-tipped arrows, goggles, and arm guards. No outside equipment allowed.

We provide everything you need at no extra cost:

• Bows (age-specific: DodgeNERF bows for ages 5+, C-Bows for ages 8+, advanced bows for experienced players)
• Foam-tipped arrows
• Protective goggles and face masks (sanitized daily)
• Arm guards (optional)
• Inflatable obstacles and barriers

Staff select equipment based on your group’s makeup to ensure the best experience.

Basic sessions last 45 minutes of nonstop play plus orientation time. After hosting thousands of games, we found 45 minutes is the perfect sweet spot — most players are happily exhausted by the end. Each session includes free filtered water and takes place in our air-conditioned, comfortable arena.

The Basic package is a 45-minute play-only session with all equipment included and full staff support. This is pure gameplay — no food or party time. Perfect for corporate team-building, youth groups, or anyone who just wants to jump straight into the action.
