| Review: |
My 11 year old wants to have a paint ball birthday party and because no one in the family has ever participated, so we went to check it out. It was the first time for every one who went - 2 boys - 8 and 11, two teenage girls, myself and my husband - mid 40s.
We had a blast. For $35 you can rent gear - helmet, gun, chest protector, air, 500 paintballs. You got a Matt's Outback t-shirt.
Free hotdog, multiple vending machine for drinks. Perfect.
Our ref was awesome and gave us plenty of tips for the newbies. He helped my 8 year old aim the gun. Laughed when one of the teen age girl left her gun condom on during a battle. When a large group of college kids joined in the mix, he helped us newbies be successful during the battle.
Brooke could not have been more helpful. Great tip about bring a garbage bag for each kid.
We played in the woods area - meat grinder, castle - it was fun.
The ref let us go as a family to the tire area when our 8 yr old got bummed because he could tell who was on which team when a big group joined in. It was really muddy - but it was April in NE.
I have read reviews from experienced paint ball players who liked Matt's Outback.
I thought this newbie experience might be helpful, it was great.
