How old do you have to be?
You must be at least 10 years to play at Boston Paintball. Anyone under 18 must have a Boston Paintball release of liability form (click here) signed by someone over 18. Spectators in the players area must also be at least 10 years old and number of spectators is limited to 4 per reserved group.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Boston Paintball is open 7 days a week for reservations as well as walk on play. We try to make it as easy as we can for you to come in and play - but part of making it easy means preparing us for your arrival when possible. Players may walk in after 3pm Monday - Friday with groups of 5 or less and anytime during regular business hours Monday - Friday with groups of 6 or more - but we strongly suggest that groups with 6 or more at least call ahead (especially on weekends!) so we can let you know if we think it is in your best interest to make an advance reservation. We do offer pre-paid group rates to groups of 10 or more (when reservations / payment is made at least 24 hours in advance) and we offer many options when it comes to the type of reservation that best fits your needs. We're not saying you can't just show up - because you usually can - but with our easy reservation system - you can avoid any possible wait time and make your day of paintball even more enjoyable!
Types of reservations available:
Guaranteed reservations = reservations with submitted game deposit form. All Guaranteed Reservations must be made at least 24 hrs in advance.
Non-Confirmed Reservation:
What Does a Non-Confirmed Reservation get you?
#1 On a weekday it will mean less wait time while our staff would normally be getting the field inflated and arranged. Probably saving you 10-20 minutes of wait time.
#2 It gives you equipment priority over any groups showing up without any kind of reservation.
What Does a Non-Confirmed Reservation NOT get you?
#1 It does not 100% guarantee that equipment will be available if it's a particularly busy day and we have run out of equipment or that we will have room for your group if we have too many players when you arrive.
#2 Does not get you access to any discounts.
Please remember that weekends and School Vacations are EXTREMELY busy!
Reservations and advance payment are necessary for all package rates - such as the Corporate Rate, Bachelor Party Rate and Birthday Party Package Rates (Discounted Rates are NOT available during Holidays and School Vacations).
There is a 48 hour in advance cancellation policy for all reservations. Please make sure you read the policies as they apply to the type of reservation you are making (located on Game Deposit Form)
When should we arrive?
Groups that have a Guaranteed reservation should arrive no sooner than 15 minutes before reserved time. If you are walking on (did not make a formal reservation with a deposit at least 24 hrs in advance) - you may do so at any time on weekends but waiting time may vary during peak hours (weekends / vacations). All players must be registered to play one hour prior to closing time (if we close at 8pm you must be registered to play by 7pm)
Can I bring my own paint?
Boston Paintball is a field paint only facility. You May NOT bring your own paint.
What if I bought my paint in your stores?
Unforunatley that is not Field Paint and it cannot be used.
What do I need to wear / bring / leave at home?
We suggest that you wear long sleeves, long pants and sneakers. A couple of layers may also be beneficial (more padding). If you have knee pads / ski hat / baseball hat/ gloves you may want to bring them as well (the whole "padding" thing!) .The paint does wash out, but you may want to wear something you do not mind getting dirty. We have jumpsuits available to rent but they are adult sized and may be big on some smaller players. You may want to bring a change of clothing to go home in (the person who owns the car you came in might appreciate this!) . We do not rent gloves, supporters, hats or bandanas but we do carry many of these products in our pro-shop. Leave home anything of value - or plan on having a place to leave these things (wallets / purses) such as in a car or with a spectator.
I have never played before. Is this for me?
We cater to players of all skill levels from complete beginners to tournament level players. At Boston Paintball we put only like players out on the field together, which means that beginner / rental players will only play with other beginner / rental players and more advanced players will only play with more advanced players. So..... rest assured that your birthday party group will only play with players of similar skill!
How do Birthday Parties work?
Upon arrival your group will need to turn in waivers for everyone playing AND everyone that will be spectating (during peak hours the number of spectators will be limited to no more than 4 per reserved group). Due to insurance regulations - noone under the age of 10 will be allowed back where the players are staged (unfortunately this is where the pizza is served). There is plenty of viewing available outside of the players area, but children will need to be with an adult at all times. Pizzas are ordered whenever your group would like and take between 30 and 45 minutes to arrive. Please keep in mind that they open at noon so we cannot order before then. Your group will have it's own table that you may stay at for as long as the type of reservation you made permits!
I want to bring a cake / food for a birthday party - is that ok?
You may bring in anything you like - except for alcohol. You should bring extra paper plates and cups for anything you bring with you - and any necessary utensils. If you have reserved a birthday party package we will provide cups and plates for the pizza and soda included in that package (for the 10 players). Do you have food there?
We have vending machines with snacks and drinks. There are several places that will deliver as well. Menus are available upon request.
Do you have group discounts?
Yes we do! Check out our Group Rates!
(Reservation and payment in advance required for all group discounts.)
