AIR SOFT Game Park

Hangar 37 swaps Gran Canaria’s usual holiday pace for team airsoft among tanks, old planes and bunkers. You get a weapon, mask and 350 airsoft balls, then join a team for games on a purpose-built battle course. Come with friends or on your own; solo players can be assigned to a side.

I like two things about the setup: the course offers plenty of places to run and hide, and the activity can turn a short outing into a few hours of energetic play. The friendly English-speaking staff and nearby café also make it easier for families to settle in, even if some people would rather watch than play.

The main consideration is comfort and safety. Airsoft balls can sting, bruise or break skin, especially at close range, and Gran Canaria’s afternoon heat can make covering up feel like its own challenge. Wear long sleeves, long trousers and sturdy shoes, and ask how beginners will be grouped before play starts.

• A battlefield-style course: Use tanks, old planes, bunkers and hiding spots as cover during team games.
• 350 shots included: You receive a weapon, mask and ammunition, with more shots available to buy.
• Solo players can join: Staff assign you to a team if you arrive without a group.
• Ages 12 and up: The activity is open to children over 12 and adults, with no upper age limit specified.
• Plan for the sun and impact: Shoes are not included, and protective clothing is a smart choice.
• Allow time to stay: The advertised visit lasts about one to five hours, but play can run longer if you choose to continue.

A battlefield break from the beach

Hangar 37 gives you a lively alternative to another afternoon of beaches, shops or sightseeing. Instead of looking at the island from a bus window, you move through a course built to resemble a military setting, taking cover behind bunkers and other obstacles while playing against the opposing team.

The action is physical but does not require a high level of fitness. You’ll be running, crouching, moving between cover and keeping an eye on the other team. You can take it at your own pace, though the more you move, the more involved the game is likely to feel.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. Tanks, old planes and bunkers give the course a more convincing feel than an open field with a few plastic barriers. The site is large enough to offer places to hide and routes to move through, so you can choose whether to advance or stay back and watch for an opening.

This is not a quiet activity, and it is not a passive sightseeing stop. It suits people who want a dose of competition, a bit of exercise and a shared challenge. If your idea of a holiday afternoon is a shaded café and a book, you can still come along, but you may prefer to watch from the sidelines.

Joining a team at Hangar 37

You can arrive with a few friends or come alone. Groups are welcome, but solo players are assigned to a team, so you do not need to arrange a full party before booking. That makes the activity accessible to a couple or a single visitor looking for something active to do.

The important question is how the teams are mixed. The play can attract experienced airsoft players as well as first-timers, and a beginner may feel outmatched if the sides are not balanced. If you are bringing children or a group with no prior experience, ask the staff how they separate or mix players and what support is available before the games begin.

A clear briefing matters here. The stated guidance includes not shooting someone closer than five metres and calling bang instead. That rule is easy to understand, but it can be harder to remember in the rush of a game, particularly for young players who are new to the sport. Listen closely, and ask for any instruction you need repeated before you enter the field.

Staff are described as friendly, professional and able to explain the activity in English. That is useful when safety rules and game instructions matter. Still, do not assume a quick briefing covers every concern: if you are unsure about minimum distance, how to signal a close encounter or what to do if a player gets hurt, ask before play starts.

What the 350 shots cover

Your price includes an airsoft weapon, a mask and 350 airsoft balls. That gives you a starting supply for the games, though a fast-moving player may want more. Extra ammunition can be purchased on site, so you can decide after seeing how much you use rather than paying for additional shots in advance.

The included equipment is practical, but it does not make this a fully outfitted activity. Shoes are not included, and you should not expect a complete uniform. A colored vest or similar marker may be used to show team sides, but bring your own clothing and footwear.

Cover your arms and legs. The balls are not harmless simply because the activity is called airsoft. Players have reported painful hits, bruises and occasional broken skin, especially when shots land at close range. The five-metre rule is there to help, but covering up remains a sensible precaution.

Sturdy, comfortable shoes are essential for moving around the course. Leave new white trainers at home; the ground and play can take a toll on clean footwear. A good pair of closed shoes you do not mind getting dusty is a better choice.

Heat, clothing and comfort

Gran Canaria’s warmth adds a real wrinkle to the clothing decision. Long sleeves and trousers offer more coverage, but the afternoon sun can make heavy layers uncomfortable. Choose light, breathable clothing that still covers your skin, and avoid turning up in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt if you are concerned about bruising.

Timing matters, too. Some weekday games have begun in the afternoon, around 3pm, when the heat can be intense. Available tour times may vary, so check the time that suits your plans and consider how you and your children handle outdoor activity in warm weather.

A mask is included, but do not mistake that for full-body protection. The main value of proper clothing is reducing direct hits on exposed skin. If someone in your group is particularly worried about pain or marks, talk through that concern before booking rather than hoping the game will feel gentler than it is.

How long to stay, and what the outing costs

The experience is advertised as lasting about one to five hours, with several tour times to fit into your day. The time you spend can depend on how much you enjoy the games, how busy the field is and whether you decide to buy more ammunition. Some families have stayed for several hours, while others may prefer a shorter session.

At $36.05 per person, the price includes the basic equipment and 350 shots. For someone who wants a structured activity with a large course, that is a reasonable starting point, especially if you play for more than one round. The value drops if you stop early because the game feels too intense or if you spend a lot of time waiting to play.

Ask what the price covers when you book, and confirm the current on-site price if you are comparing options. One account reports a lower price at the venue than through an online booking, while the advertised price here is $36.05. Rates can change, so check directly rather than assuming those figures still match.

If you enjoy the activity, extra ammunition is available to buy. That means the initial ticket does not have to be your only expense. Budget for additional shots if you expect to play for several hours, and remember that the included 350 may go quickly in a busy game.

Getting there and taking a break

Hangar 37 is near public transportation, though the site is described as a little out of the way. Buses pass roughly every 20 minutes, and routes #30 from Las Palmas and #1 back have been used to reach the area, with some walking involved. Check current bus details before setting out, as routes and service times can change.

The café and relaxation area are useful if not everyone in your party wants to play. A parent or grandparent can watch from the side while younger family members burn off energy, then meet them for a drink or lunch. The café has been described as reasonably priced, though its menu and stock may vary.

That option also makes the outing work for mixed-age groups. The minimum age is 12, so younger children cannot take part under the stated rules. Older family members can still join in if they are comfortable with the activity, or sit out and watch.

Who will enjoy Hangar 37 most

This is a good fit for teenagers, adults and families with children aged 12 and up who enjoy games with a competitive edge. It can be especially fun for a family group that wants to share an activity rather than simply watch the children do something on their own. The course gives everyone a common goal, though comfort with getting hit varies from person to person.

It also suits solo players and small groups. You do not need to assemble a large party, since individuals can be assigned to a team. But if you are new to airsoft, ask about the skill mix and beginner support. Experienced players can add pace and challenge, but they may also make a first game feel less welcoming if the sides are not balanced.

I would think twice about bringing a child who is sensitive to pain, easily discouraged by competition or uncomfortable with strangers shouting during a game. The experience depends on active play, and a person who sits out after one round may not feel they got their money’s worth. A spectator can still enjoy the café, but that is a different sort of afternoon.

Should you book this airsoft outing?

Book Hangar 37 if you want an active break from the usual Gran Canaria routine and your group is comfortable with running, teamwork and the chance of bruises. The battlefield-style course, included equipment and option to join a team alone make it easy to try without bringing your own gear or organizing a large group.

Before you commit, prepare for the heat, bring long sleeves, long trousers and sturdy shoes, and ask about beginner groups and the safety briefing. If your party includes younger teens or first-time players, those details can make the difference between a memorable afternoon and an early exit. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time.
