| Review: |
I went there 2x once on 6/14/2008 and 1 week prior to get some indoor game play since the weather outdoors wasnt so good. I was not happy on the first visit, the field indoor temp was 96 degrees per the thermostat on the wall, very humid and had poor venting.
For a state of the art facility proper cooling would have been a great addition to make your field stand out, or something to cool the facility down and create a cross breeze.
The second time i went there, no one was playing, i waited around for an hour, no one showed up. I left... I called an 3 hours later only to be told yes there are people there playing... I drive 15 minutes to get there only to find out everyone is a rental player and that i wouldnt be allowed to participate, mind you this is after paint and air is purchased.
They tried to get me to practice in a snap cage for 10.00 per hour with reballs, but i was there to play with others not sit in a snap cage.
Prices in the pro shop are nuts. A v35 halo w/rip 135.00
I can get a brand new v35 halo w/rip at paintballwizard for 100.00... Very limited selection of what is available.. No dye products etc...
I would not play here, I would rather deal with the poles at boston paintball indoors.

Great field. Its kinda smaller than Boston Paintballs field but it has a much better feel to it and its alot funner to play on. The refs there are amazingly nice, If your new to the sport and they see you doing something that you could improve on they will give you advice on what you shoud do. Also they have yhree levels of games, Begginer, Intermeidiate, and open. Also if your a higher level player and come with you friends who are begginers, than they let you go in with them in the begginers, They are very nice. This place even has a lounge that parents can wait in while we play, Theres even a tv in the lounge that shows the field, so they can watch us play from the lounge. Its also a bit cheaper that Bostonpaintball. MONSTER PAINTBALL RULES!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
Altogether it was a great place to go to but a pain in the ass to get to if you are coming from cape cod lol.
when i first arrived there i was really impressed, the place was well kept.
Inside is very calm, they also have a lobby where you can watch the players currently on the field. The pro shop is very nice and have most of the things you need (only said because i was looking for a black grillz and it wasn't in stock). the re ball fields are nicely set up but im not down to get shot with foam balls anymore lol. the staging area is very nice and spacey and no trash was on the floor, some paintballs but whatever it happens, the paint they had was working well with my vicious 07 ego. there were a lot of renters so we played a lot of one v one, but we ended up playing with some of monster factory players, me and my teammate at the time (Diego) had a lot of fun playing with them.
very nice staff altogether, tony the owner is a great guy and even plays paint ball with his teams, i think that is hilarious and fun.
I work at Balls To The Wall Indoor Paint ball and the owner Chris would never step on a field with me, let alone a speed ball field lol.
out of 1 out of ten i give this place a 8 only because it has one field and takes a little while to get into a game if a lot of renters are there| Last edited on Monday, June 2nd, 2008 at 7:53 am PST |

When i first walked in there the place looked very clean, there were places for parents to sit. HD tv for the parents and another thing i thought was really cool was that they had a tv that was linked to the playing field so the parents could watch the kids playing. We went upstairs and there was an area to set up all your gear with security cameras all over the place so i felt comfortable leaving some stuff there while i got a drink. The staff in my opinion was "meh" I got a few sarcastic remarks and had some problems with a fill nipple on my tank and he made me buy a new one which seemed funny to me. (when stuff breaks at my pro shop while they are filling it they fix it for free) One thing that disappointed me was when we had younger kids in there the ref got shot and started cursing in front of the kids. The actual Playing experience was phenominal, turf made me feel like a pro, bunkers were full, no deflation. Viewing area was nice too, it was well lit up and for the most part clean. Plus this place is always open so i plan on going again within the next week. We went on a day where there wasnt that many people and it was still a blast. Besides the refs this experience was 100% great.
By the way the actual Owners of the place are extremely nice.
EDIT: I went again and the staff was a complete 180 degree change, they were all helpful, talkative and gave me tips. Must have caught them at a bad time last week.| Last edited on Sunday, April 20th, 2008 at 9:46 am PST |

What can I say.. overall a super great facility. I'll include in my review all of the folowing topics:
safety
fields
hours of operation
prices
rules
services
proshop
staff
refs
players
facilities
food
Safety-definently very strict about safety, they make you watch their safety video and are very strict about barrel sleeves and masks. They care very much about your safety when you are on their field.
Fields-Awesome fields! Thay have brand new turf which is a beautiful, perfect and there are no bumps or rough edges on it. They turf is very nice and so are the bunkers as well, they are never deflated and don't shift mad crazy when you slide into them. Also, i love the set up they put for the events, its probably my favorite setup on any paintball field. Not to mention they have a reball center. :)
Hours of Operation- They are practically almost always open! They are open on many holidays on which other fields close and there normal hours are incredible to.
Prices- They have really great prices and it is very affordable, definently very fair and just prices, unlike other paintball companies who try to rip you off.
Rules- standard, you know semi auto, and players are divided up into expierience levels so everyone has a fun time.
Services-Always has had and i hope they keep there great services.
Proshop-very imformative and helpful, they are very generous and can help you with almost anything wrong with your gun.
Staff- Wonderful staff and they are very helpful, they make sure you are having a great time and are actually in staging areas and provide tons of assistance.
Refs- great refs and very fair, even after i accidently shot one in the neck(sorry guys i couldn't see you ref shirt and you had the same mask on my friend had when i saw him enter the snake.) Still, a great reffing staff!
Players- very nice and couteous, no foul language swearing, or any of that stuff.
Food- They give you a menu from their local pizza shop so you can order in for your buddies. Great service too.
Overall a wonderful place! Plus, the owners are extremely nice and they are one of the nicest people I have ever met, and i ain't just saying this to say it, they are really nice and outgoing so that they can make your paintball expierience your best yet.
Thanks Monster Paintball! |

| Review: |
The first thing i noticed about this field was when i walked in, clean, great family watching area, pro shop was unreal, staff was mad friendly, and prices were very fair and worth it in value.
Safety is key ALWAYS, everyone is put through a safety movie, and the refs and staff were very keen on safety of the players and their staff. always chronoing guns. Gun condoms were always checked to make sure they were on before exiting the field and in the staging area.
Management: the owner was very friendly and could tell with a simple converstaion that he is dedicated to making the players experience the best possible. The main quote that caught me was "I want to make the most optimal training facility for paintball players of all ages and experience, with reasonable rates, no matter the cost...." you dont get that kind of dedication often at all. the refs, other staff, and facilities were the best managed i have EVER seen.
Prices: with own equipment and a box, $80 person, well worth the value.
Fields: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. The turf feels just like nppl, the refs would go out of their way to check players, the bunkers were well kept and always cleaned, turf was clean and no rips or creases (except for the rip i created when i slid on a crease in a awkward spot, sry guys, and that was fixed in between games), very well lit up. the only complaint i have about this field and its not even of ANY importance. The tapes should have more room between the wall and the bunker, not much room for movement, maybe 2 feet. other than that I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS FIELD TO ANY PLAYER..........OF ANY EXPERIENCE
I HOPE THAT MONSTER PAINTBALL HAS TOURNAMENTS SOON, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE WELL MANAGED AND VERY FAIR!!!! |

I went to this field for the first time, when it first opened, and it was awesome, the employees were mad nice, and extremely helpful. A few months after i went back and got a tour with some friends, before it was even open. No other field would do this. I played here 3 times and plan on coming back. |

This is definatly one of the best indoor fields in New England. I mean this place blows planet out of the water. 1st thing you see walking in is the registration window, and proshop. Proshop is sick, big, TONS of equipment at madd cheap prices. Also the tech, knew him from paintball wizard is wicked chill. he'll fix stuff for free, or cheap. This place has a brand new PSP field, straight from Cup. Absolutely sick. refs r chill, and so many cameras in this place u dont need 2 worry about anyone stealin ur gear. The reball field is sick too. Perfect for team drillen. 20 bux gets u 2 pods of reballs and 2 hours of time.
*side note, the owner is the nicest guy u'll ever meet, the company that shipped him paint sent him a bad batch, everyone was havin issues, so he goes ahead, and GIVES EVERY PLAYER 2 BAGS OF GOOD PAINT FOR FREE. idk n e other owner who would do the same thing. If your gonna ball in mass, this is the place to do it.* |

First off, I had a great experience at the feild, except for the fact that my gun broke. It even turns out that my mom knew the owner from high school!
Safety- They took into account if you had played before,and had a video that you could watch. They had chronos right on the feild which made for easy gun checks before games.They also made sure you didnt have beginners or rentals going up against the high end guns either.
Prices are about as good as any indoor feild I guess,$60-65 a case and $20 for all day air and admission.
Feild- The feild was very well set up and the refs werent sloppy. They were right in the game doing paint checks and always made fair calls. The turf was a BIG plus and it was very well lit. The staging area was also nicely lit and clean.They were also working on a smaller beginner feild. The games ran very fast and there wasnt too much downtime so you defiletly got your moneys worth.
Players- Thre were all sorts ofplayers but each were put into games with people at their own level which was great.
Staff- Staff was unbeleiavably frendly. Nancy, the owner was very nice at the front desk doing admissons. They also gave you a tour of the facilty. The general manager was also awesome.He helped me fix my gun when it went down. The other owner Tony was also walking around making sure everyone was having a good time.
Proshop, they had a very well stoocked pro shop with pretty much everything you would find at your local store. I was very impressed. Much better than at planet or canobie.
All in all it was an awesome experience and I think this is my new favorite feild. I wil definetly be going back again.
