Action Commando Paintball Gokarting Montreal

Bad experience. Unprofessional staff. I should rather say, horrible staff: immature and hardheaded.
Overpriced laps that are very dirty and small.
Simply, don’t waste your money. There are better places to go to for Karting, don’t get fooled by some positive reviews and their advertisement.
Employees are unable to communicate in English and they should if they want to attract tourists.
I’m very disappointed and I discourage anybody who is thinking about going there.

It was my first time ever go karting (YES its not only Paintball!) and I have to say I really enjoyed the rush feeling and just racing. It’s so easy to learn, and the excitement is just great. Just a few tips tho (as I had no idea how to get ready before it)
–wear sports shoes, dont wear sandals or anything like that (in case you forget, they give you shoes tho so its perfect!)
–don’t carry a lot of valuable things, but even if you do you could put it in a locker for 1 $
–don’t be scared to go a bit fast but not too much, as then you start enjoying it a lot
–time flies by! enjoy

Showed up on a Saturday with no reservation with 4 guys and unfortunately they were booked. They did however find us a 10min spot for a race!
This place is awesome, fastest go karts I’ve been on and the track is a lot of fun. This is the best go kart place I’ve been to!

There are two locations! We went to the one in Laval, which is a short drive on the highway from downtown montreal.
Came here for a bachelor party on a Friday afternoon. There was a lot of down time between events (took about 2 hours to finish a go-​karting package that was three fifteen minute races) because the place was so busy. The karts had good speed, and the staff were quick to help people who were stuck along the walls. The paintball area probably had too many large places to hide behind. I would personally prefer a few smaller obstacles to encourage movement and not just camping. The ground was also completely wet – it was like playing in a swamp, but I guess it’s tough to maintain an indoor field. All said, we had a good time.

Montréal’s most famous bachelor party scene is only better when there are places like Action Commando Paintball around. It’s a giant facility — where there is both a paintball arena and a giant go-​kart track. In more or less words, it’s the ultimate men’s playground.
The paintball scene is among the best I’ve seen. After opting for the adrenaline package ($ 60CAD per person), my group of 10 and I were given uniforms, masks, and semi-​automatic paintball guns, 500 ball ammo, and our very own referee. A couple of tips: Wear clothes that are paint friendly and know the uniforms are really just coveralls, which are meant to be worn over the clothing (hence, no real changing area).
It goes without saying, the venue is massive. It reminded me of an indoor tennis facility with all of the nets separating each section. Most of the «courts» are truly different paintball environments, which almost feels like being outside, except in my opinion, far better. Despite being littered with paintballs day in and day out, the place was surprisingly clean and didn’t smell like a locker room.
My group and I had a blast. Each of the fields had a different element to them and the fact there was no time limit was super nice. It is super easy to get trigger happy, so we got an extra 300 balls to keep the fun alive. Even though we were only 10 guys, I think 20 would’ve been ideal.
And despite the fact we had such a fun time, the one thing that kept this place from being a five star was the fact we had such a tough time communicating with some of the staff. My initial reservation took almost a half an hour to do because the guy on the phone wasn’t able to understand English too well. It might’ve been the same guy who was our ref, who sadly decided to revert to Québécois French to explain the game («capture the flag») and confusing 3 native French speakers (Belgium and France) in the process. It’s a bad day when even the Frenchiest of folks aren’t able to keep up.

I’m not a fan of most public paintball arenas, but this place is pretty awesome. It’s set up in a huge warehouse with nets dividing the various paintball fields (I think there are five, though we only played on two). Each field is covered with a thick sand (excellent for falling/​diving), various obstacles (stacks of tires, oil drums) and large ‘bases’ (wooden forts, cars, trucks and busses, etc). The fields were just big enough that we didn’t feel enclosed, but small enough to contain the game.
We got a group package, which starts off with a basic package (includes marker, mask, coveralls and paintballs) for $ 43, which is good for about an hour of playing and you can upgrade from there.
I’d highly recommend upgrading your gun/​marker to the model with the target barrel — it will make a huge difference in your accuracy. Don’t bother with the ‘full auto’ gun — it’s useless. If you want to play longer than an hour (or you have an itchy trigger finger), buy more paintballs. Most importantly, GET THE GLOVES (or bring your own). Everyone walked out of there with cuts and scratches and chunks taken out of their hands.
The feature of this package that I really appreciated is that your time on the field is based on how many paintballs you have — basically, you play until you’re out of paint. If you buy more paintballs (you can upgrade your package to 300, 500, 700, etc) you stay on the field longer. There is no one harassing you to hurry up and no clock you need to worry about.
