What should you know before your first paintball game?
Safety is the number one priority in paintball — every park provides protective masks, coveralls, and a safety briefing before each game. In addition to the gear provided, you should wear comfortable sports shoes and long trousers. Games typically last 2–3 hours, with individual rounds taking 10–15 minutes each with breaks in between.
Three main types of paintball are available in Latvia. Classic paintball with 0.68 caliber balls is the traditional format — hits sting more, but the experience is more authentic. SOFT paintball with 0.50 caliber balls leaves fewer bruises and works well for families and beginners. Reball uses reusable rubber balls with no extra charge for ammunition — you can shoot without limits.
Most parks require advance booking since fields are reserved exclusively for your group during your time slot. The minimum group size is usually 6 people to keep the game interesting, though some parks accept smaller groups at a higher per-person rate.

What is the GUNSnLASERS paintball experience like?
GUNSnLASERS — Šampēteris and Mežaparks
GUNSnLASERS is the largest paintball operator in Riga with two separate parks — in Šampēteris and Mežaparks. The Šampēteris park occupies a former textile factory with an industrial atmosphere, featuring 1,200 m² of indoor fields (complete with real VW cars as obstacles) and 0.7 hectares of outdoor terrain. The Mežaparks park is set in a former USSR military base with 5 different fields, two of which are illuminated for night games.
Three package levels are available. STANDART (300 balls, 2 hours) costs €25 on weekdays and €27 on weekends. COMFORT (400 balls, 3 hours) runs €29/€31. ELITE (500 balls plus a smoke grenade, 3 hours) costs €40/€42. SOFT paintball and REBALL with unlimited rubber balls are also available.
Instructors lead the games and offer various missions: team vs. team, capture the flag, tiger hunt, and more. A rest area with grills and tables is included in the price. Beyond paintball, GUNSnLASERS also offers laser tag, airsoft, electric go-karts, and VR experiences at their Jugla park.

What makes Bušas Underground special?
Bušas Underground — indoor paintball in Riga's center
Bušas Underground offers a unique paintball experience inside a historic brewery cellar in central Riga — over 3,000 m² of tunnels, halls, and arched corridors. The venue occupies the Gustav Kuncendorf brewery basement at Matīsa iela 8, easily reachable by car or public transport.
Up to 40 players | 3-hour sessions | Smoke machines and lighting effects
+371 26785909 | busas.lv
When you book a group, the entire 3,000 m² space is exclusively yours — no other groups are served at the same time. Sessions include a roughly 20-minute briefing, game time, and rest breaks. Smoke machines are used during games to create an especially epic atmosphere in the dark basement corridors. The temperature stays at 10–12°C year-round — comfortable for players, but spectators should dress warmly.
Indoor paintball here differs fundamentally from outdoor games — the main challenge is finding your opponent first, then shooting. Rooms are interconnected through hallways and tunnels, creating a labyrinth effect. The park operates year-round regardless of weather.
Why is PB Telpa a popular choice?
PB Telpa — Zaķusala paintball park
PB Telpa was the first park in Latvia to introduce SOFT paintball with smaller 0.50 caliber balls — the impact force is four times lower than classic paintball. The park sits at Zaķusalas krastmala 19, right in Riga's center with convenient public transport access and free parking.
Prices start from €9 per person (100 balls) up to €55 (2,000 balls). The price includes everything you need — equipment, instructor, and rest area. After the game, your group can stay in the park for an extra hour at no charge. PB Telpa also offers a Reball option with reusable latex balls and the ability to adjust shooting speed — fewer bruises or more, your choice.
The park features inflatable obstacle courses that can be rearranged for different missions. Each game is tracked individually with personal stats and achievements — titles like "Terminator" (hit every opponent) or "Avenger" (eliminated the player who previously shot you). The PB Telpa team consists of professional competitive paintball players — multiple Latvian champions.
In addition to the outdoor Zaķusala park, an indoor venue is available at Jugla, Salamandras iela 1 — ideal for bad weather.

Why choose Bušas in Saulkrasti?
Bušas Saulkrasti — outdoor paintball with overnight stays
Bušas in Saulkrasti is one of Latvia's largest paintball parks with four different outdoor fields, an automated gaming system, and the option to stay overnight. The park is located at the A1 and P6 road intersection — about 30 minutes from Riga's center and 15 minutes from the sea.

Beyond paintball, Bušas offers four holiday cottages (from €70 for two people), a sauna, hot tub (capacity 10), picnic areas with grills, and a zipline.

How to choose the right paintball park?
The key question is simple: indoor or outdoor, and how large is your group. If you want to play regardless of weather conditions year-round, choose Bušas Underground or GUNSnLASERS indoor fields. If you want nature, forest scents, and open space — Bušas Saulkrasti or PIF PAF.
The most budget-friendly options are PB Telpa starting at €9 and PIF PAF on weekdays from €12. For a full-day event with sauna, overnight stay, and picnic — Bušas Saulkrasti is unbeatable.
For families with children from age 9, SOFT paintball (PB Telpa or Peintbola Bāze) is recommended — it reduces impact force and bruise risk. For corporate events and larger groups (20+ participants), GUNSnLASERS and PIF PAF offer the best conditions with tournament organization experience.
When paintball adrenaline is no longer enough
In paintball, you shoot at speeds of 270–300 km/h and run an average of 5 km per game. That is exciting — but imagine freefalling from 4,000 meters at 200 km/h. Not for a few seconds, but for a full minute, with all of Latvia beneath your feet. That is exactly what a tandem skydive with Skydive Latvia feels like.
A tandem jump requires zero prior experience — an instructor with 3,000+ jumps takes care of everything. You attach to an experienced instructor and go together. Price: €239, photo and video option for an additional €70.
For something even more extreme — the Oxygen Jump from 5,500 meters is the highest civilian tandem jump in Eastern Europe. Freefall lasts approximately 90 seconds, speed exceeds 220 km/h, and supplemental oxygen masks are used at altitude. Price: €490.
