This review is specific to Mrs. Ruth’s «Zombie Paintball Hayride», I cannot speak for any of the other things on the farm. The zombie paintball hayride was more hayride, less paintball, and even less zombies. The event starts when you load up into a tractor which takes you on a 15 minute trip through the woods until you get to the«mounted» tractor. Each rider has their own paintball gun and ~100 paintballs. Once the tractor starts rolling you’ll get a handful of practice shots before you reach the«zombies», which consisted of a couple of teenagers in paintball gear making noises and a whole lot of clothing stapled to trees as scarecrows. The«zombie paintball» part of the attraction lasts for 5 minutes or so, and then you get to shoot the rest of your ammo at exciting targets such as trees, garbage can lids, and more trees. Once that’s done, you hop on the first tractor and take another 15 minute ride back to the farmhouse. In short, good idea, poor execution. The zombie portion is way too short, and the tractor ride is way too long. If you’re looking to be scared, look elsewhere, as the tractor ride was by far the scariest part of the experience.

We had a great time! Everyone was very friendly too. I loved finding clues inside maze. Be ready to get worn out– tons of fun games, bounce house, sand box, but all spread out over a field, so good exercise! Only ~20 min from south chapel hill, not far from s. Durham in Chatham county.
