Getting Started — FAQ DodgeArrows Annapolis
Hours & Availability: We are open by reservation only for private experiences. No walk-ins. Our schedule changes day to day, so we do not have set business hours.
Open times are on our live calendar. Book online 24/7.
We also run off-site events for schools, companies and large groups, so our team may not always be at the facility. Reservations are required, so please book online before visiting.
DodgeArrows Action Arena is more than just arrows. We offer laser tag, arrow tag, Nerf gun wars, dodgeball, camps, field trips and more. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, team building event, or a fun family outing, our facility in Millersville, MD has something for everyone. Every session includes multiple game modes such as Medic and Capture the flag bullseye and more. Great for kids, teens and adults!
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 5.0 stars with 530+ five-star reviews on Google. We now offer much more such as laser tag, dodgeball, nerf and more.
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 & Nerf guns (age-specific: Nerf guns 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.
Yes! We offer two laser tag options:
- Squad Hero Laser Tag — Ages 12 and under
- Battle Rifle Pro Laser Tag — Ages 13+
Laser tag is non-contact with light sensors and sound effects, completely supervised by trained staff. Perfect for birthday parties, adults, and corporate team-building events.
Our 5,000+ sq ft indoor arena features inflatable bunkers, obstacles, and professional lighting for Arrow Tag, laser tag, and NERF battles. Here’s a video tour of our facility:
We’re at 8855 Veterans Hwy, Millersville, MD 21108 — conveniently located near Annapolis, Severna Park, Gambrills, Crofton, and Odenton. Free parking on site.

No food is allowed unless you book the Green or Red Party. For a play-only party, you are not allowed to bring food, because the longer parties are built for it.

Yes, our entire facility is ADA compliant. Bathrooms, fields, and all areas meet ADA standards. Several wheelchair-bound participants have successfully participated in games. The space is rented from a nonprofit called OBI that serves adults with various abilities.

Tips are appreciated but never expected! You can tip at checkout, in person, or skip it entirely. Our team is committed to giving you an excellent experience regardless.

Children must be symptom-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before attending camp. If a camper becomes sick during the day, parents will be contacted for pickup. We cannot provide refunds or make-up days due to illness.
Campers should wear comfortable athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes (sneakers or tennis shoes). We discourage jeans or stiff clothing. Flip-flops and sandals are not permitted for activities. A light sweatshirt is optional as our facility is air-conditioned.

Electronics and personal toys must be put away during camp hours (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM). Campers in early or late care may bring a book or device for those hours only. We do not have secure storage, so bring electronics at your own risk.
99% of our activities are indoors in our air-conditioned and heated gym. On rare occasions with great weather, we may do a short outdoor activity, but camp is primarily an indoor experience.
