Starland Sportsplex & Fun Park is located in Hanover, Massachusetts, on the South Shore — about 25 miles south of Boston, just off Route 53.
An Arena That Feels Like Another World
The laser tag experience at Starland takes place in a fully revamped, apocalyptic-themed arena that immerses players in a gritty, post-industrial atmosphere. With 20 different game options to choose from, there is no shortage of variety — whether you prefer team deathmatch, capture the flag, or free-for-all chaos. Each 10-minute session uses brand-new laser guns and vests, updated lighting effects, and fresh targets and bases that make every round feel crisp and responsive. The arena itself is designed with tactical movement in mind, offering plenty of cover and strategic sightlines. It is best suited for players aged 5 and older due to vest sizing, making it a solid choice for family groups, birthday parties, and casual competitive outings alike.
Beyond Laser Tag — A Full Day of Attractions
Starland is not just about laser tag. The fun park features 10 indoor and outdoor attractions, including a Power Up-style go-kart track with video game-inspired icons painted on the course, a new spin coaster, an 8-person drop tower, bumper cars, a rock wall with light-up climbing segments, an 18-hole mini golf course with mischief-themed challenge spinners, batting cages, a frog jump ride, and an XD Dark Ride 7D interactive theater. The arcade alone boasts over 70 games, from classics to modern redemption machines. For those looking to maximize their visit, the park offers several pass options. The Day Pass at $69 provides unlimited access to all indoor and outdoor attractions (with limited go-kart rides and batting cage rounds) plus a $10 arcade card. The Indoor Pass at $35 gives 3 hours of unlimited indoor access including laser tag, bumper cars, XD Dark Ride, and outdoor mini golf — perfect for rainy days or cooler months.
Celebrations Built Around You
Birthday parties are a cornerstone of what Starland does best. With 4 dedicated party rooms and 4 function spaces, the venue can accommodate groups as small as 10 and as large as 3,000. Each standard party includes a dedicated party host, 90 minutes in a private room, pizza, drinks, paper goods, and a Starland birthday t-shirt. Themed packages range from a Swiftie party (friendship bracelet making, photobooth, and music) to Shoot & Bump (laser tag and bumper cars), Sports parties on real courts and turf fields, Arts & Crafts, Bounce & Play with inflatables, Ride Plus with go-karts, and an All Access pass for unlimited fun. For corporate events, team outings, school trips, and private celebrations, the venue offers custom food packages — from passed appetizers to sit-down dinners and buffets — along with full catering from the on-site bar and grill. The space is flexible enough for intimate business meetings or buy-outs for up to 4,000 guests.
A Place to Refuel and Relax
Between activities, guests can unwind at the Rec Room Bar & Grill, a family-friendly spot serving comfort food, local beers, and seasonal cocktails. There is also Fuel Coffee & Smoothie Bar for a quick espresso or smoothie, plus a beer garden and concession stands scattered throughout the property. The Rec Room itself has its own arcade corner, making it easy to grab a bite without stepping away from the fun. For those waiting on party guests or taking a break, the facility offers plenty of seating areas and a lively atmosphere with sports on TV, making it easy to linger after the games are done.
Staff Who Care About the Experience
Starland employs a dedicated team of event coordinators, party hosts, sports directors, and park staff who focus on making every visit smooth and enjoyable. The basketball program, for instance, is led by Director and Coach Jazz Silva, who brings years of experience to youth clinics and leagues. Birthday parties are managed by a dedicated coordinator like Fiona Hutchison, whose energy and creativity have earned praise from families. The staff culture emphasizes warmth and attentiveness — the kind of place where returning guests are recognized and first-time visitors feel guided through the options. From the front desk to the party rooms to the attractions themselves, the team is trained to handle groups of all sizes and ages, ensuring that whether you are there for a casual afternoon or a large-scale celebration, the experience feels personal and well-organized.
Built for Every Kind of Gathering
Starland is especially well-suited for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, school field trips, end-of-season sports banquets, and family reunions. The combination of sports facilities (8 basketball courts, 2 turf fields) with amusement park attractions means that groups with mixed interests can all find something to enjoy under one roof. The venue also hosts adult-focused events like the New England Pong League and themed nights such as the PPPGA Putt Putt Punk tournament. With 175,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, the park operates year-round, adapting its offerings to the seasons — outdoor attractions run weather-permitting, while indoor attractions and the arcade remain open regardless of the forecast.
omplex boasts state-of-the-art facilities for soccer, volleyball, basketball, and indoor golf, making it a hub for local leagues and tournaments. The fun park, on the other hand, offers an array of attractions such as laser tag, arcade games, mini golf, and a rock climbing wall. With its convenient location and diverse offerings, Starland Sportsplex & Fun Park is a must-visit for anyone in the area.
