Q & A
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT TO ENTER THE EVENT?
Parental discretion is advised for all of the attractions. To come to the Zombie Apocalypse Paintball Hayride, anyone under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by an adult.
For the most part no, the Zombie Apocalypse Paintball Hayride is not scary. Zombies do not shoot back. Parental discretion is encouraged since the ride may be frightening to some children. The ride does take a path through the dark woods with limited lighting. This event is usually seen as fun instead of scary.
No the zombies cannot shoot back but shoot them before they reach the trailer because we all know what they like to eat.
HOW MUCH AMMO IS INCLUDED WITH THE RIDE?
You get approximately 200 rounds to start and more can be purchased at the gate or on the truck at the halfway point ($10.00 for 100, CASH ONLY). Most riders buy an extra 100 rounds and if you buy at the gate or online it saves you from losing valuable zombie shooting time and you can also pay with credit cards at the gate.
Yes, for $20. But we promise you won’t want to miss out on the fun of alienating the zombie!
This is an outdoor event, dress accordingly. You must wear rugged shoes, no sandals, high heels, or flip flops. You will not be shot at with paintballs but you will be getting on and off a trailer and walking around in the dirt, gravel and grass. There may be a bonfire on some nights. There is NO hay on the trailer.
We do not have covers for our trucks and trailers and will run our regular schedule if possible.
