#1. SHOWDOWN PAINTBALL PARK
Play paintball! Showdown paintball park in Lehi is a great way to spend a Saturday. Hunt down your roommates, or shoot-up your boyfriend on a wide variety of fields ranging from the thick wooded type to the wide-open “speedball” variety.
Participants can show up in an old pair of jeans, or rent a jump suit for a modest fee ($2.00) and battle it out with semi-automatic rental guns under the supervision of professional referees.
Don’t worry, the paint is water-soluble and washes right out. Play this game once and you’ll be hooked.
Call, or stop by Pegleg Paintball on State St. in Orem for more information.
