So a group of us decided that we were going to try this out as one of those - "have you ever done this or gone there" things. Paintball is kind of like the bungee jumping thing - or parachuting - everyone talks about always wanted to to it / may try it but never get around to it. So we looked around and found that there was an indoor place close to the city. It was not only easy to find - but it was huge! I actually couldn't believe how clean it seemed to be too - when you think of paintball -you think of messy - well this wasn't the case. We went through the instructions - got jumpsuits on (you can rent them if you don't want to leave covered in "paint") and headed out on the field. To say we had a "blast" is a serious understatement. There were a lot of kids playing - and some had their parents actually playing too! So we teamed up with other groups and went out to play what is really a fun game of tag. Someone bought a "paint grenade" and it just got better and better! The referees helped us with strategy, they were really cool - but they were also really strict which i guess is a good thing considering the fact that we are shooting at each other :) Pricing was $35 per person which covered entrance, equipment and 2oo paintballs - which we found out was good for quite a few games - but next time i would do the $45 package which comes with 500 paintballs.

Paintball is something i could definitely see myself doing again, and Boston Paintball also has an outdoor field in Maynard (Chops showed us the pictures - it looks awesome) we will be there next time!!

• Pros: huge facility, clean, well run
• Cons: ran out of paint!!!!
