Paintball has been a popular pastime in Washington since the 90s. But for the slightly younger crowd, Nerf Gun arenas have been popping up all over the state in recent years. Although it recently moved locations, The Tag Zone has been around for nearly a decade. And whether you’re a child, a teen, or just a kid at heart, there’s no denying that this place is a total blast.

The Tag Zone moved to its current location in Bremerton in July of 2019.

For his son's 10th birthday, he set up cardboard obstacles and bought several Nerf guns for the party guests. The reactions he got from others that day were all he needed to make the decision to start his own business.
Needless to say, The Tag Zone was an instant hit. And aside from a brief closure due to Covid, they've been going strong since their opening.
