On Performance Paintball’s year-round outdoor field, teams compete in 10-minute rounds of elimination or capture the flag. Clutching Tippmann 98 paintball guns, players stalk and pursue enemies around obstacles—or climb the two-story Tower of Terror for a bird’s-eye view—as they fire gelatin capsules from pressurized air-guns, splattering enemies with water-soluble, biodegradable, nontoxic paint. Customers can arrive alone during open-play hours, or organize teams for a party or event. The outdoor playing field is open year-round, allowing players to compete against both friends and snowmen.

The Little Theatre brings a roster of reel wonders to Rochester, with a slate of films running the gamut from quirkily mainstream to accessibly indie. Cinephiles can nab tickets (evening showings: $8, weekend matinees: $6, seniors: $5, children 5–12: $5, and students on Sun.–Thurs.: $5) to any number of upcoming features appearing on The Little's five flickering screens, such as the risqué Ewan McGregor dramedy Beginners or the sardonic sojourn documented in acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom's The Trip. A slew of other silver-screen selections are sure to satisfy moviegoers from all walks of taste. The Little's 70-seat, jazz-infused café pitches in to delight the less movie-centric senses of taste, spidey, and smell, with its eye-fetching collection of local artwork and appetizing menu of rich quiches ($8) and grilled paninis ($9). A fluid fleet of specialty coffees ($1.50–$3.75), globetrotting vinos ($6/glass, $18.50/bottle), and sudsy brews ($3.50–$4.50) lithely impart an impressive cineaste vocabulary sure to impress neighboring critics and wide-eyed ushers.

Aboard their various watercraft, ACA and BCU instructors lead lessons and nature tours that wind through glacier-carved terrain and former Seneca Native American lands.
