What is B&B?

Knoxville's first indoor foam dart arena: referee-run, Nerf-style battles for ages 5 and up.

Where are you?

6709 Maynardville Pike in Halls, Knoxville, TN 37918. Get directions.

Do I need a reservation?

No. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to arena capacity. Parties and group events need a booking.

Is there an age limit?

Players must be 5 or older, with no maximum. Kids under 5 can't play because the games require handling a blaster and following safety calls on their own.

Do parents need a ticket?

Only if they play. Spectators are free.

Can I drop off my kids?

Players 14 and older can be dropped off. For anyone under 14, a parent or guardian must stay on site.

What are your hours?

See Prices & Hours. Holiday hours and closures post on Facebook and Instagram first.

Gear & Safety
What should we wear?

Comfortable clothes and grip socks. Grip socks are required; bring your own or buy a pair here for $3.

Is eye protection required?

Yes, at all times in the arena. We provide it.

Can I bring my own blaster?

Yes, if it shoots Elite darts at 90 FPS or less and passes our safety check. Rival and half darts are only for Hobby Night and Blitzfire.

Do I need a waiver?

Yes, every player. Sign online before you come to skip the line.

Is it family friendly?

Always. We say blasters, not guns; darts, not bullets; tagged, not shot.

Food
Do you serve food?

We sell snacks and drinks, and party pizza comes from local partners. No outside food or drink, except water bottles and party cakes.

Yes, from $375. See party packages.

Can we rent the whole arena?

Yes. Arena Takeovers start at $650.

16 WAYS TO BATTLE

FAMILY OWNED. KNOXVILLE BUILT.

It started at home. During COVID, our two kids turned the house into a Nerf battlefield: forts behind the sofa, darts everywhere. We wanted a place for that kind of fun without breaking lamps. So we built Knoxville's first indoor foam dart arena, and we still run it as a family.

Fun FirstEvery visit should be packed with energy, laughter and unforgettable moments.
Safety AlwaysQuality equipment, clear rules and attentive staff on every game.
Everyone's WelcomeKids 5+, adults and all abilities. We give back through school fundraisers and community events.
