The first Nerf gun was introduced in 1989, and it quickly became a popular toy. The plastic guns are perfect for indoor play because the soft balls and darts don’t damage walls, furniture, or the family pet. It’s fun to race around the house, blasting Nerf balls at your siblings…but Mom doesn’t always appreciate the indoor war games in her front room.
There’s a solution for that: Dart Nation. Pack the kids up and head to this huge warehouse space where you kids can spend an entire hour having a blast.
You'll find Dart Nation in the middle of many other warehouses on 500 West in Salt Lake City. Its entrance is tucked away down the alley to the right of WAirhouse Trampoline Park. Look for the bright blue entrance door next to the warehouse's bay door.
Your first step will be to choose your Nerf gun from the armory. There are several styles to choose from. You'll also be outfitted with eye protection.
...or make a break for it and tag your opponents with your darts! The game has very basic rules, just like tag. One hit with a Nerf dart, and you're out.
Bring a group of friends and family, and form two teams for the most fun. There's no age limit here - Nerf tag is safe and appropriate for kids and adults of all ages.
Most games last from 5 to 15 minutes, and you'll play as many games as you can during your reserved hour. You can also add on an extra 30 minutes of play for just a few dollars.
Individuals pay $10 per hour; groups of 10 or more people pay $9 per hour. Dart Nation is open seven days a week! Play Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Check out Dart Nation’s website to learn more and book your tag time. See more photos on the company’s Facebook page.
