Sports Center of Connecticut

Where Adventure Meets the River

SportsCenter of Connecticut sits on over 20 acres along River Road (Route 110) in Shelton, Connecticut, in the heart of Fairfield County. What began as a simple golf driving range in 1999 has grown into one of New England's largest family entertainment destinations, with more than 150,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor activities under one roof.

Connecticut's Only Star-Force Lazer Tag Arena

The centerpiece of the indoor action is the Star-Force themed Lazer Tag arena — the only one of its kind in Connecticut. Built on the Delta Strike Laser Battlefield system, the arena features multiple levels of play, interactive music, and a dynamic laser light system that transforms the space into an energetic battleground. Before each session, players gather in a debriefing room for a short video briefing on rules, tips, and strategies. Real-time stats track every shot, hit percentage, and team dynamic throughout the match, with final scores displayed immediately after the game. The arena can accommodate up to 28 players at once and is fully handicap accessible. Beyond laser tag, the center offers a Western-themed Target Paintball arena with moving and impact-illuminating targets, plus immersive Virtual Reality experiences with a rotating selection of interactive simulations.

More Than a Game Zone — A Full Day of Play

The variety of attractions here is what truly sets this place apart. Visitors can enjoy an 18-hole nature-themed mini-golf course complete with a flowing river, fountain, and waterfall. The FunBowl features state-of-the-art mini bowling with pop-up bumpers, laser lights, and video scoring — no special shoes required. The GameZone arcade boasts over 100 games updated monthly, from classic pinball to modern ticket-redemption machines. For sports enthusiasts, the double-decker, heated, and weather-protected Toptracer Golf Range has been voted a Top 50 Golf Range in the country year after year. There are also baseball and softball batting cages, and the world's only double-decker NHL-sized ice skating arena, which hosts public skate sessions, hockey clinics, and learn-to-skate programs. The facility also houses the Shelton Pickleball Club for those looking to try the fastest-growing sport in America.

Celebrations Built Around You

Birthday parties at the SportsCenter are designed to be stress-free for parents and memorable for kids. Each party includes a dedicated party host, a private room, and future-use coupons for every guest. Families can choose a single activity for 90 minutes of fun or opt for a combo party to double the adventure. Party themes include Lazer Tag (the best-seller), GameZone arcade, Ice Skating, Mini-Golf, FunBowl bowling, and even a Let's Dance party where guests learn a choreographed routine. Pre-K parties are also available with a special FunBowl format designed for younger children. Weekday discounts are offered for those looking to celebrate on a budget. The center is equally well-suited for corporate team-building events, school outings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, fundraisers, and large group gatherings. Facility rentals are available for private events of all kinds.

A Place to Unwind Between Games

After working up an appetite or wearing out the kids, guests can relax in the inviting lounge areas with comfortable couches or head to the new patio bar for a more grown-up break. A food court offers a variety of dining options, and banquet rooms are available for larger groups who want to keep the celebration going. The entire facility is kept clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere that has earned it a Travelers' Choice award on Tripadvisor. The staff includes experienced professionals across all departments — from USA Hockey-certified skating instructors and PGA-rated golf pros with over 175 years of combined teaching experience to dedicated party coordinators who handle every detail of your event. The center also runs a popular Kids Kamp program during school breaks, offering children ages 4–12 a full day of supervised activities including ice skating, laser tag, bowling, mini-golf, and more.
