A: The sting of the paintball hit is what makes this game unique. The thrill of running and jumping, dodging the paintball goes right back to your childhood and the competition of trying to make the point to win the overall game just adds to the rush. So although getting "marked" by a paintball might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting popped with a towel and will usually go away in a couple seconds.
Low-Impact rental equipment is very similar to regular rental equipment, except that Low-Impact markers shoot smaller paintballs. These smaller paintballs travel at the same velocity & distance as regular paintballs but because they weigh signifigantly less, the impact energy is much lower resulting in less "ouch." Low-Impact is ideal for new players of any age.
Regular paintball equipment uses .68 caliber paintballs that has been the standard size paintball since the early 1980's.
A: Each child is required to have a waiver signed by a chaperone or guardian prior to playing.
Waivers are included in the email confirmation you will receive once your party has been booked and confirmed. You can copy or email the waiver to guests that will be playing so that they can have signed and ready upon arrival to the park.
Waivers are available at the park and can be filled out on site by either a parent or the party mom whom would be acting as a guardian while at the party.
A: The paintballs are a mixture of food coloring and vegetable oil, they will simply bleed into the clothes to the point of transparency and will wash out with your normal laundry. You need to make sure you wear long pants, like jeans, something that you don't mind getting dirty. The dirt from jumping into fox holes and rolling around in the leaves will create more stains than the paintballs ever will. Remember, you are in the woods and bugs and sticks are still around. Long sleeve shirts are highly recommended, even in the summer time. As footwear, be sure to wear something comfortable and again, something you don't mind getting dirty. We provide everything else that is needed for you to enjoy a fun filled day of paintball.
A: Simply do the math, party packages equal out to the same price per guest and you get the private referee along with the rental equipment and same amount of paintballs. If you are still on the fence as to what package will be better, remember, it's your child's birthday party and it's all about their experience on this once a year day. A private referee is there to assist with any and every aspect of your party. From loading your equipment with paintballs, adjusting goggles, giving pointers on how to play, and more importantly, making sure that they birthday boy is having fun. Your private referee is going to be your guests best friend for those 3 hours of play time.
A: Insurance companies allow us to leave it up to the parent to determine if their particular child is mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come along with playing paintball. Here are a few questions to ask yourself if your child is ready or not:
Usually, if the child is active with any type of outdoor sports, they will be fine with paintball. For kids under 10, we recommend our private party to insure that it is just your group shooting with each other and no worries of other experienced players using your child for target practice. Usually, after a couple of hours of private play, even the youngest of players are ready for more competition. If you are still undecided as to if your child is mature enough, look at our Low Impact Paintball packages. These packages are designed for players as young as 8.
A: Let's Play Paintball are field paint only facilities. By enforcing that you purchase all paintballs from us, we are able to insure that: no staining or hazardous paintballs are being used, no frozen or nonbreaking paintballs are being used as well as keeping the environment clean with paintballs that we know are ecofriendly and made here in the USA.
A: A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule, with colored liquid inside of it. Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or a bath oil bead. The fill inside paintballs is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water. Paintballs are even edible, although we don't recommend it! Low-Impact rental equipment is very similar to regular rental equipment, except that Low-Impact markers shoot smaller paintballs. These smaller paintballs travel at the same velocity & distance as regular paintballs, but because they weigh signifigantly less, the impact energy is much lower resulting in less "ouch."

A: During the summer months always carry bug spray and sunscreen. Application of bug spray should be done before you play and will keep the pests off you while on our many courses. Avoid using bug spray near your goggles. It will damage goggle lenses and other plastic equipment. In the winter lip-balm and good warm gloves are a must. Remember, we are outdoors so dress for it.
A: The most important safety precaution in the sport of paintball is the full face goggles. We require all participants to wear full-face mask system with ear protection. All visitors to Let's Play Paintballs parks are given a safety briefing every time they visit park. This briefing explains the important safety rules at the park, along with how to properly use the equipment and play the game. We also require guests to chronograph their markers before each game. This allows us to make sure no guests are exceeding the maximum velocity of 285 fps (feet per second).
A: Paintballs are made of a gelatin shell, the same material that a Tylenol capsule is made of. The RPS Marballizer paintballs that we use have a fill of vegtable oil and food coloring. Our paintballs will not stain your clothes, they are composed of a water-soluble fill material. One of the main reasons we insist on our Field Paint only policy and that you have to buy our paintballs is so that a staining paintball cannot be brought in and used without our knowledge.
A: We offer Tippmann 98's or BT Combats as our basic rental marker. These guns are good for 3-4 balls per second with a accuracy range of approximately 100 feet. We also provide a full face goggle, 200 round loader, a 48 ci compressed air tank that is good for 500 shots before you have to refill and a barrel sleeve for safety.
Yes, but we will inspect your equipment to make sure it meets our safety standards. All goggles must be full-face masks and be unaltered. There can be no cracks in the lenses at all. Paintball markers must be semi-automatic with a trigger guard. If there is a question on if your marker can be used here, a staff member will make it. The decision of our staff is final. Barrel sleeves are required on all paintball markers. All CO2 or High Pressure tanks must be in test date. High-pressure fiber wrap tanks may not have any cracks or fraying and can't have any stickers, decals or other coverings on them.
Maximum velocity is 285 fps.
A: You want to dress according to the season. Long pants are long sleeve shirts are always recommended, if nothing but to provide a barrier between the paintball and your skin should you get hit. Do not worry about the paint itself, it washes out with water. The dirt and clay from the fox holes and trenches will cause more damage to your clothing and footwear. So dress appropriately. Summer time warrants light colored clothes so as to not attract any more heat than what is already obvious. Winter time justifies a sweat shirt or hoody, so not only will it keep you warm, but also provide plenty of padding. Don't go too crazy on the clothing. If you have too many layers, you will not be able to run around, crawl and jump in those fox holes. You will mimic the pillsbury doughboy and just be an easy target that cannot get out of the way.
A: If you brought someone else's child to the park, you may sign the waiver for another persons child. You will be signing as the guardian. Every player must sign an electronic waiver upon arrival to the park. If under 18, a parent or guardian must sign a paper waiver for the player.

"Always an awesome time. I highly recommend bringing a group and spending the day to get the most fun out of it. They have numerous fields with all different styles of play, obstacles, and terrain. Last visit we rented the electronic markers rather than the standards rental guns and it was absolutely was worth it."
