We cater for ages 10 and over (no upper age limit), so if you think you can… then do! Customers can choose from a range of exciting and fun activities in a healthy and safe environment, from our “Battlefield” sports such as Laser Tag and Paintball, where teams could be capturing and holding an objective, storming a base or escorting a V.I.P. to an extraction zone, to our more relaxed field sports such as Archery, Disc Golf and Orienteering where both individual and team stamina, skill and intelligence is tested to the maximum.

Had my sons joint birthday party here.
It was excellent, from beginning to end.
The owner was extremely helpful and couldn't do enough.
The children enjoyed the lazor tag so much and the adults even more.
Highly recommend it

The venue is a bit out from Galway but the company kindly provided contact details for a taxi company that would run a minibus that would run the 9 of us out there from the city and back for €10 each.

The staff were really friendly and we're very good at letting us get on with it. They gave a brief safety talk and allowed the game to run naturally, I have been to 2 other paintball places where staff can disrupt the game too much, here they leave everyone to do their own thing unless you ask for help.

As this is in a bog you need old trainers and make sure you wear footwear that can be tied tightly, some of my mates lost their shoes at times as they did not tie them. Being bog it is also useful as in the heat of the moment you end up jumping and rolling etc and the bog sponges the fall.

An idea of how many paintballs you shoot: In our group the least shot was 350, the most was 900... but most of us have been before so conserved paintballs better than our first times. The paintballs are sold as 100s that cost €10, we were given 200 initially and thereafter you had to buy 100s.

The courses are structured well, but there are only 2 areas... I was told that this will grow in time into more diverse games.

Archery also went very well, not too much time was spent on training us how to shoot but I think that was more due to us wanting to get going at it rather than the staff.

In both activities I cannot fault the staff, they were professional at all times, everyone remained safe and they genuinely wanted to be there even though it was a Saturday and getting late!

Throughly recommended... just expect to shoot more paint than you think (apparently packages are available online but as I was the stag I didn't know anything), they also accept card!

Our gaelic team recently went to Galway for the weekend for a bit of "team bonding" We decided to try out what "Eile Mental" had to offer and we not disappointed! It was perfect for all the lads, the craic was 90 and the banter was flying so we all really enjoyed ourselves. The favourite of most was the zorbing but the Archery was very competitive too!! The lads that run it were first class also, really made us feel welcome and joined in with the craic from the word go! Its definately something I plan to do again with the family next time as its perfect for all ages and sizes. Fair play to the lads they have a great setup, brilliant location and caters for all needs, so could not find a single fault.

My son and his 11 friends had an awesome afternoon up at Eile Mental for his 11th birthday. They had 2 hours of fun (laser tag in the woods followed by archery) and then a picnic/party tea at the picnic tables. The boys shouted with excitement for the entire time they were there and the guys in charge just took it all in their stride. I reckon it would be fun whatever age you are, but absolutely recommend this for kids parties for ages 10-18.

We had our son's 13th birthday party here and the kids (teens) had a fantastic time from start to finish.

Firstly they were split into teams, allowed to camouflage themselves and fully prepped on how to use the equipment (all brand new and second to none).

Then they set off into the woods to play and the hours of fun began! Parents were kindly offered to play for free too :)

The kids had four laser tag games in total:
- Attrition
- 2 Base Assault games (with the teams changing Attacking/Defending roles)
- Domination.

The staff were very helpful in making sure everyone having great fun, all instructions were very clear and safety was no 1 priority.

After the games we were allowed to have a picnic on the premises - there are 3 very large outdoor picnic tables seating 10 each.

The kids raved about the experience all the way home and now want it to become a regular thing.

Would certainly recommend and will be back.

Really fun experience and definitely worth trying it out. The guys running it were friendly and fun and ran the paintball sessions with safety in mind all the time. A unique experience in the heart of Connemara!

Thanks to all the team at Eile Mental for a fantastic experience. It was really well set up and organised and in a cool location. We were a large group for a hen party (guys and girls) and everyone had great craic dressed in combat gear. The shooting and archery were brilliant and the staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks again, we will definitely be back!

Brilliant day with a mixed group of 30 people. Organisers were very accommodating and made experience easier. Brought down to laser tag on an old school bus after changing into combat gear. Outdoor real feel experience with huts, paths and forest area to run through. Great group activity everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you so much to the EileMental team for our wonderful day! We did orienteering and laser tag and both experiences were completely different and both so enjoyable! Orienteering was half the family against the other half - teenagers won. Laser tag had other people in the mix which really added to the fun. Already looking forward to another trip back on next years holidays!! Thanks again guys!

Thank you LorrainePM4 for your wonderful 5* review and we are delighted your group enjoyed your time here with us. As you've experienced, we delight in offering our customers a mix of fast action packed activities and slower (yet very challenging) activities that suits most LIVE gamers and we very much look froward to welcoming you back next year, by which time we will have new activities and zones constructed and maybe the adults can take their revenge on the teenagers.:-) Thank you again and enjoy the rest of your stay in beautiful Connemara.
