Hi! Paintballing or Go Karting!

Hi!

I have a option of having a day out for ten people (students) and doing one of the following


paintballing
go karting.


I am looking at costs and would like to know peoples experiences of go karting.

Is there any tips at getting good deals or ways of saving money for either such as buying your own paintballs?

Thank you

    I've tried both and I personally had more fun paintballing. I'd recommend paintballing, if its outdoors only. Get to work as a time through a variety of different games, its good fun and they even did a bbq for lunch. I can't remember the prices of the paintballs or smoke grenades unfortunately.

    Go karting was fun for about 10mins. And wasn't worth the money in my opinion. Dodgems at the fair is wayyy more fun :)

    Hope you have a great day out which ever you decide.
    I'm better off without you.

    Hi, are you allowed to buy your own paintballs if you go paintballing?

    Hi,

    Yep you can buy extra refills for your gun, some people are extra trigger happy so they get through a lot :)
