Gellyball (gel blaster) uses soft, water-based gel rounds that burst on impact with a light splash — low sting, biodegradable ammo, and great for ages 6+.
For most first-timer families, Gellyball is still the usual pick through about age 11. Airsoft is allowed at 10, but it stings more — better after kids have played once, not as the default first birthday. Compare Gellyball, airsoft, and paintball.
Most kids barely notice. Extra layers help. Eye protection is required.
Coyote Field offers a private outdoor field from $30/player for 10 players / 2 hours (gear included). Mobile backyard packages in Central Indiana often start around $550 with inflatable bunkers.
