Connecticut Sportsplex

Connecticut Sportsplex is located in the North Branford area of Connecticut, just off Foxon Road, easily accessible from both I-91 and I-95.

A Laser Tag Arena That Keeps Evolving

The heart of the Family Fun Center is its laser tag arena — a 4,500-square-foot, multi-level battleground that underwent a complete remodel in 2019. The space is designed with plenty of obstacles, hiding spots, and vertical elements that encourage strategic movement and team play. It is not a simple open room; the multi-level layout means players can take cover, advance on opponents from above, or set up ambushes around corners. The arena runs on the latest LaserTron system, featuring 36 brand-new vests and phasers. What sets this place apart is the ability for groups to design their own custom games. Players can adjust point values, activate upgrades, and tweak game rules to create a personalized experience. Whether it is a quick skirmish or a longer tactical session, the system adapts to the group's preferences. The arena is open Friday through Sunday for walk-in play, and advance reservations are available through birthday party bookings.

More Than Just Laser Tag: Arcade and Sports Action

Beyond the laser arena, the Sportsplex houses a full arcade with over 35 games, including both redemption ticket machines and classic arcade favorites. As of early 2022, ten brand-new games were added, ranging from Mario Crane and Fishing Time! to timeless titles like The Simpsons and Wheel of Fortune. There is also a pool table and air hockey for those who prefer analog competition. The arcade uses a reloadable swipe card system, so no loose tokens or tickets are needed — just a one-time card activation fee. For those who prefer physical sports, the facility offers indoor turf fields in the Field House. Groups can organize games of soccer, wiffleball, flag football, or kickball on the artificial turf. This makes the Sportsplex a versatile destination where one part of the group can be running drills on the field while another is racking up tickets in the arcade or battling it out in the laser tag arena.

Celebrations Tailored to Any Group

The Sportsplex is a natural fit for birthday parties, and the numbers back it up. Both the Laser Tag Birthday Party and the Sports Activity Party are priced at $25 per person, with a 10-person minimum. Each party includes an hour of activity, a half-hour in a private party area, a slice of pizza, chips, a drink, a $5 arcade swipe card per guest, and a dedicated party coordinator who handles all the logistics from start to finish. Parents play for free during laser tag parties, and extra food — from pizzas to chicken tenders and burgers — can be ordered on-site. Corporate events and team-building outings are also a strong suit. Companies like UPS, Comcast, and Outback Steakhouse have held events here. The Sportsplex team customizes each gathering, combining laser tag, arcade access, and field sports with catering options that can include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even beer and wine. The facility also hosts bar and bat mitzvahs, school events, bachelor parties, and after-grad celebrations.

The People Who Make It Run Smoothly

One of the most frequently mentioned strengths of the Connecticut Sportsplex is its staff. Every party booking comes with a dedicated coordinator who manages the schedule, supervises the activity, and takes care of setup and cleanup. This allows parents and event hosts to relax and actually enjoy the celebration rather than running around organizing things. For corporate groups, the team works closely with organizers to tailor the experience — whether that means setting up a tournament bracket, adjusting game rules, or coordinating catering. The staff's experience with large groups and their attention to detail are what keep families and companies coming back.

A Place to Unwind Between Games

After an intense laser tag match or a round on the turf field, guests can retreat to the party area or lounge space. The facility provides a comfortable setting for guests to sit down, enjoy food, and celebrate. For birthday parties, a half-hour is reserved in the party area for cake and presents. The on-site menu includes pizza, burgers, hot dogs, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and more, so there is no need to leave the premises for food. Extra pizzas are available for $16 (cheese) and $18 (pepperoni). The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly — a place where kids can run around and adults can kick back without feeling rushed.
