School Trip & Educational Visit Information

Action zone is the latest family run outdoor infra-red (laser) combat fun site in North Yorkshire.  We offer Battlefield Live guns which provide the award winning latest infra-red technology from Australia.  The guns on offer give a sci-fi feel to the games and our trained staff will enable individuals to work as a team to provide a winning combination.  There are no projectiles and the guns are completely safe as we can take players as young as 6 and as old as, - well let's say we held a 70th birthday party last year!   Our site is between Harrogate & Knaresborough within a conifer woodland which provides all year round cover & toilet facilities are on site.  We can also bring our mobile arena to your site (indoors or out) subject to a risk assessment.
