Why does this train have a 1 star..? I suppose everyone has a different experience, but my experience was awesome! I would highly recommend this! Who doesn't want to shoot at zombies while on a moving train? You ride the train for about 15 minutes to a field full of zombies. I suppose there could be more zombies but they had about 8 which I thought was a fair amount. Most of the zombies did come close enough so you could actually shoot them (and trust me, we all went crazy lol). A few were too far away but you could still hit their barriers! The actual shooting time was pretty long too, we probably went by the zombie field 10 times! Yes, you have to pay for extra ammo but hey I think it was totally worth it lol. Not sure why everyone seems to hate this train. It was a totally unique and fun experience. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend and I will do it again in October! read more

Not as expected. For $50, you would think you get unlimited ammo. But nope,. Around 240 rounds. Then they have the audacity to charge $5 for another set of 100 rounds. I counted 9 zombies on the field. Some are standing so far from the train it would be impossible to hit them. Some are just standing there, covering their crotch area, while some are actually playing the zombie role with their hands up. Don't be fooled about the 2 hours. More than half of that time is spent sitting inside the hot cabin that doesn't have a working a/c. It was fun when our group finally get to go out and shoot, but again, not enough paintball. Plus they walk around with a tip bucket?? Please. The only thing that made it worth it is the little girl with the scary costume who never broke character. She walked around entertaining the bored guests. Don't waste your money next year. What a ripoff! read more

My dream of killing zombies finally came true! My husband and I did this at the 5:30 train ride and we had a blast! It was well organized and really fun. The train itself is cool, I'd never been on it before--it felt historic and I can see why they use this area to film movies and TV shows. Lots of people ran out of paintballs and needed a refill, but we were told we were going through six passages, so we did a good job of conserving our "bullets" and didn't need any refills. It was exactly an hour and it was the perfect date night for us. We definitely plan to make this an October tradition, and will go again next year, maybe this time doing it at a later time, when it's dark and scary! read more

Our family of five had a great time shooting zombies from the train. The staff was accommodating, friendly and fun. We couldn't stop smiling. We didn't just open fire, we took our time shooting and everybody needed only one refill of ammo. read more

Took my family here. This was worth it. My boys were so excited and the zombies were nice enough to come say hi. All the staff was very welcoming. Would do this next year. My boys are 3 & 5 and we're not scared . Not sure why there are bad rating for. You get a train ride a paintball gun already setup and ready to shoot. With people there ready to assist if needed. read more

I'm confused by the bad reviews. This was really a fun night! The train was neat, they served alcohol (pricey but to be expected), and we got to shoot things and people with paintballs! The people you shoot at are protected because yes you are actually hitting them with paintballs, so they don't totally look like zombies. Maybe if they had some actors in makeup that you don't shoot at it would be a little scary, but really I had no complaints! Everyone was super friendly, parking was easy! I actually enjoyed being the last group to shoot, we got to sit on a bench outside on the way back and that was really nice. read more

SO SO SOOOOO much fun! Me and my friends had a blast and FYI everyone the train has a full bar on it! Such a great surprise The zombie actors were great and would even fall to the ground and play dead lol. All the bad reviews are so sad I wonder what these people expected a scene from the walking dead? We were the first group to shoot then while the second group was shooting we got hot dogs chips and lots of wine in the cute old train dinning car read more

If you like trains, paintball and zombies (or at least two out of three), it's worth doing at least once. Here it is by the numbers: - Train ride 1 hour - Shooting time about 35 minutes - 6 passes past the target area - 8 zombie targets plus a roving Honda Civic Del Sol - 250 paintballs included - Additional refills for $10, or 3 for $20 I found I needed one refill during the event. Some people enjoyed shooting at dirt, air and bushes so they needed more refills. The zombies were "accommodating" but were at a distance where hitting them was a challenge but definitely doable. Even my 9 year old son could hit them. The vintage train was pretty cool and had some light Halloween decorations. I wish there was more of it on the train and at the station. There was one roving non-threatening zombie on the train which added to the overall ambiance. Perhaps if they piped in some Halloween music or scary sounds that would have made the whole experience more immersive. Maybe more zombies could amble onto the train for photos after the shooting stops. If they could plus up the ambiance, I would give them 5 stars. All the employees were super friendly and helpful. They made sure everyone had a good time. I'd do it again. read more

I didnt Get the full 2 hours of the ride. They separated You into two different groups to shoot. The ammunition ran out really fast. There was nothing included such as drinks,chips, etc. There were only about 5 zombies and one person on a motorcycle. There Also wernt enough seats so a majoriady of the customers had to sit on the floor. It wasn't worth the 50 dollars. A lot of bullets would fall out the barrel when not using it so you lost your ammunition. read more

Maybe fun for kids but disappointed that the train went slowly back and forth the same 10 zombies that could not die. The guns were mounted so limited shooting angle. Overall experience was a 2/5. Highlight was a silly zombie on the train. read more

Pretty much echoing what everyone wrote here. A few minor improvements and this could be a lot better. Like give each gun a different kind of color paintball. We were all using yellow, we didn't know if we hit or not. The paintballs didn't tumble well and the distance they, the actors who played the zombies were at was kind of far, so they tend to bounce. If they added a few more zombies and brought them closer (but who can blame the employees for not wanting to be closer?). read more

I don't like to bash on things and be extremely negative.. but as I am not getting a response from the company, it is important to share the experience. My husband and I attended the train and were extremely disappointed in the event. The train was not haunted like advertised. When we returned from our 10-minute session of paintballing, which was not 250 balls as advertised either, there were not enough seats so a large group of us had to sit in a separate area of the train which had the staffs belonging in it and was very muggy and smelt bad. In order to attend this event, we had to pay a babysitter and commute from Simi Valley and felt that we did not get what we paid for. Spending over $100 on two tickets. There was no zombie apocalypse and there was about 6 people out in the field as targets and we returned to our cars before 4:30. read more

This was one fun ride! It was a giant party for young, and old! The zombies did a great job and awesome. I think they deserve a beer after being shot at all afternoon. read more

So much fun! Who needs The Walking Dead when you can ride the Zombie Hunter Train! There were at least 10 zombies to shoot at and they were definitely into their roles. This is a fun experience for all ages, not too scary so good for the whole family. Some trains run in the daylight which is great for the younger crowd. 5 stars without a doubt. read more

So much FUN!!! I can not believe how exciting this experience is! I got such a rush can't wait to do it again. The zombies were excellent on and of the train. I highly recommend this adventure to everyone! You will not regret it!! read more

I'm also confused by the bad reviews? We boarded the train on time and went to the bar for some drinks while everyone settled in. The paintball guns were set up along the open train cart, loaded and ready to shoot. There were targets and actual actors in zombie costumes to shoot at. The encourage you to shoot the zombies until they fall to the ground, hopefully they are super padded up! We bought a couple of more paintball rounds for only $5 and had a blast (pun intended!) It was a fun, different Friday night activity. I was worried it may have been more of a "kid" thing but I was pleasantly surprised with the "grown ups" having adult beverages and Halloween fun on a zombie train! I will definitely return with more friends next October :) read more

This ride was not as expected. They separated groups and we took turns to shoot. When we got to go out to the open section to shoot we saw the small portion of shooting range was not what we were thinking of. They were not zombies we were shooting at they were people dressed in animal costumes (the costumes that are posted on the hunting train ride on the actual website) which is not what was adverstised on the website. After the shooting we were instructed to go back to our seats and my group and i did not have a seat to go back to. We ended up opening another section for ourselves to sit at. This was not a professional business we paid to go to. It was not a haunted train it was a normal train with out any haunted festive decorations and only few of the staff were dressed for the occasion. My party of 6 was not satisfied with this ride and we spent so much on this. $50 per person is not worth a train you expect to be haunted and is not. We paid to shoot animals not zombies and a lot of the paintballs would fall out of the guns as well. If you are planning to take this ride spend your money somewhere else. If you want haunted, spend your money elsewhere. read more

Just left the zombie hunter train ride. First time and would not do it again. Not worth $50. I will be honest on what we experienced. 7:30 departure excited about trip, after 15 min ride we arrived to open space to shoot zombies. Then the train went back and forth two times to same place. Shoot, then done at 8;15 then sat in Dining cart for next group to shoot. Back to station at 9:20. About 6 zombies to shoot at. Geared up. Did not not look like zombies. Sorry for review but have to let others know. read more

We are a family of four with an 11 year old girl and a 8 year old boy. We rode the train with another family. We thoroughly enjoyed this night! We came early and had a nice Mexican dinner at El Pescador in Fillmore. Then we headed over to the train depot. Leave some time to wander around, it's really cute. The staff in the ticket office and on the train were friendly and helpful. There are some ghouls on the train, and they add the perfect amount of scare....we like that sort of thing. The ambiance on the train is charming. Shooting the Zombies was great. They are dressed up and were very into their roles. None of us had ever shot paint ball guns before. We were expecting to be able to see the paint ball explosions but that was not the case. That was the only disappointment, but it did not detract from our total experience. We could still hear the pings of the bullets as they left our guns and made contact. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We will be back next year and will look into some of their other themed train rides. read more

I had so much fun on this train ride. The best time to go is the last train at 7:30 PM. Our train was so lit! Literally and figuratively speaking. The zombies got so turned up that they ended up burning down one of their houses. That wasn't supposed to happen but it was so much fun. No one was hurt. I would absolutely highly recommend this as a fun experience at night time. I can't guarantee that you'll see the fire we saw but definitely take your crew with you! Things like this are best in numbers. read more

Would have given them less of possible. The field has 6 zombies and the train just goes back and forth through the same empty field. You sit the majority of the time in a hot train car waiting to get there and waiting for your turn. Actors are not even playing the role and it is NOTHING like the videos they posted. Just go to a paintball center, you will save money and have more fun. read more

I have to agree with other reviewers. It's not worth $50 per ticket. You get in a train and just go back and forth past the same spot 4 times. There is only 6 "zombies" which are just guys dressed in paintball gear. It was really disappointing to say the least, and a lot of false advertising is going on here. What they don't tell you is that their is two groups. So half of your time is spent sitting waiting for the other group to go. No one mentioned that before we purchased our tickets. On there website it says "shooting at targets from a moving train. It's approximately 1 and 1/2 hours of fun". Our actual shooting time was about 20 minutes and the other half was, like I said, waiting for the other group. The majority of the time is spent by the employees re loading all the guns and setting everything back up for the second group. I would save your money and go elsewhere. Sad because I was looking forward to this. read more
