Under 18s Family Sessions at Point Blank Shooting – A Totally Unique Day out💥
Looking for something completely different to do with the kids this school holiday? Want to break away from the same old soft play, bowling, or cinema routine?🤠
Welcome to Point Blank Shooting, based in Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle.
A cutting-edge simulation shooting range that’s now offering dedicated family-friendly sessions for under 18s, running every Thursday and Friday from 12–4pm during the school holidays. It's competitive, fun, tech-led entertainment that gives older children and teens a safe but seriously exciting way to do something totally different and all for just £10 per person.
🎮 Real-Life Action, Gaming Energy
Point Blank isn’t your average family attraction. It’s a high-energy, immersive environment designed to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a real-life video game. Our cutting-edge shooting simulators use replica weapons fitted with laser technology, creating ultra-realistic, non-violent shooting challenges across a huge variety of game modes.
With over 200 interactive scenarios to choose from, there’s something for every level of player- from total beginners to mini action heroes who want to test their speed, accuracy, and reflexes. It’s the kind of experience kids usually only see in a game - but here, they’re in it for real.
👨👩👧👦 Designed for Families with Older Kids
Let’s be honest- it’s not easy to find something to do with tweens and teens that actually keeps them engaged. Our Under 18s sessions are tailor-made for families who want a shared experience that doesn’t feel childish or one-sided.
During these sessions:
💥Under 18s are welcome, supervised and hosted by trained staff
💥Parents/guardians must also accompany them on the ranges
💥The environment is safe, structured and welcoming- with all necessary instructions and guidance included
It’s ideal for families with kids aged 7 to 17, especially those who have outgrown soft play or don’t want to sit through another two-hour film.
🏆 Competitive, Social & Seriously Fun
One of the biggest things kids (and adults) love about Point Blank is the competitive element. This isn’t just “have a go and leave” it’s game-based, scored, and addictive in the best way.
Players:
- Take part in different game modes, from timed challenges to accuracy-based rounds
- Compete against family members and friends for the highest score
- See results in real time on digital leaderboards
It’s all about that thrill of improvement, laughter when someone misses wildly, and the bragging rights when someone (usually the kids!) ends up on top. Every round feels fresh and exciting.
💥 A Venue That Feels Grown-Up (But Is Family-Ready)
Point Blank is a stylish, modern venue with a bar, kitchen, and cool atmosphere that makes older kids feel like they’re part of something mature - but in a totally safe and age-appropriate way during our family hours.
They’ll love:
The lighting, sounds, and simulator screens that feel high-tech and immersive
The “grown-up” vibe of doing something their parents would usually do
Sharing stories, laughs, and pizza whilst they play.
Parents love that it doesn’t feel like they’re stuck at a kids' venue — they can grab a bite, relax with a drink (non-alcoholic or alcoholic!), and enjoy the whole experience alongside their children.
🍔 Fuel Up with Our Bar & Kitchen
Gaming is hungry work, and our bar and kitchen is ready to keep everyone fuelled up. From loaded fries and pizza's to soft drinks and mocktails, there’s something for even the pickiest eaters.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick session or making it a full afternoon out, you’ll be well looked after. Our staff are always on hand to recommend something tasty or accommodate dietary needs- just ask!
🎯 Why Kids LOVE It
We hear it all the time from families: “This is the best thing we’ve done together in ages.”
Here’s what kids themselves say they love most:
“It’s like Fortnite or Call of Duty, but in real life!”
“It’s not babyish - I felt like an adult.”
“I beat my dad on the scoreboard - twice.”
“I want my birthday party here!”
Older kids and teens often feel left out when it comes to family activities - this gives them something that feels cool, exciting, and interactive. And because the sessions are designed for shared fun, it’s the kind of activity that creates memories long after the school holidays end.

With 200+ scenarios, they never get bored. There’s always a new challenge to beat “It’s like playing Xbox with my mates, but in real life!”

Kids love trying to beat their parents or siblings for the top score. Leaderboards, rankings, and time challenges make them feel like they’re winning- or chasing a high score!
3) They Feel Grown-Up Doing It
Using (safe) replica weapons, being guided by a host, and being in a "cool" venue makes it feel more mature than soft play or trampoline parks.
4) They’re Moving, Aiming, Reacting – Not Sitting Still
They're physically engaged — aiming, reacting, focusing — which keeps their attention and burns off some of that school holiday energy.
5) It’s a Shared Experience
They get to team up or compete with their parents, older siblings, or friends.
