BOTTOM LINE: 3 great courses and layouts kept things interesting throughout the day…read more This place is located about an hour outside of Boston and in a forest, which provides perfect surroundings for their 3 courses. The staff were organized in directing various groups around the day making for little down time between games. You can purchase a painters suit to keep your clothes (mostly) clean, but the paint truly does wash off easily - and this is coming from someone who was really worried my runners would be ruined! You have to bring your own protective gear if you have any - they obviously provide eye wear/masks. Also, there's nothing to eat around here, but you have the option to order pizza with some of your packages. The 1st course consist of a "defend the fortress" setup with an actual concrete base in the middle of the forest (this was my favourite). One group starts in the fortress while the second group starts at the top of the hill and needs to rush down it. The 2nd course was another asymmetrical setup in a tight playgroun with different huts, fortress and objects to move about in. This was often one of the most tense ones because you were in such close quarters. Finally, the 3rd course was the "speed course" of a symmetrical field of inflatable objects. This was the one that seemed to draw the hardcore paint ballers - you know, the guys who brought their own paint ball guns, colour-coordinated body armour, and extra paint ball cartridges they could reload with on the field. I suppose this is as real life to a FPS as you're gonna get! Finally, not sure where else to mention this, but there seemed to be a very small gun range adjacent to the grounds (i.e., only one shooter at a time), which I found odd, and sometimes unnerving whenever you heard live rounds go off in the middle of your game.

Since it was my first time, I was a little intimidated when I saw some serious players came dressed in camouflage suits and carried their own gear. Thank god those pros were playing in an exclusive tournament that day *phew* At the check-in tables, we signed our waivers and purchased our rental equipment. The staff were not particularly welcoming but they were efficient and strict about safety (a good thing). There was no pressure to purchase upgrades or additional equipment. We each got the $55 deluxe package anyway: tippman A-5 gun (with higher rate of fire), 500 rounds of ammo, and an ammo waist pouch. All packages came with unlimited air fills and a full-face goggle mask. Equipment was decent quality - a couple guns malfunctioned, which were replaced immediately. The masks also became foggy and itchy after a few games (buy your own if you plan to play often). As for clothing, I played in my old college hoodie, grungy gym pants and sneakers (saved myself $10 on the jumpsuit). After we geared up, a ref briefly trained us on gun handling, rules and protocol. Important note: you are not allowed to shoot anyone at close range (10 feet or less) or else you'll get a warning/TO. We played several games in both outdoor fields, the makeshift "village" and the woods (aka. the actual forest). The latter was more challenging and involved some crawling, sliding and hiding behind skinny trees. Other notes: - no road signage; keep an eye out for the dirt path across from 1 Tavern Circle - no food on site, but apparently, you can order pizza delivery (the staff didn't advertise this). There's also plenty of local restaurants within a mile radius. - porter potty bathrooms = BYO hand sanitizer - expect to spend half a day here - be prepared to cover up all those bruises for the next week. I got tired of explaining to people, "no... I did not get beat up by my bf." My friends and I had a good time (we're in our mid-20s) and would return to this location.

My 4-year old son has been attending classes at Planet Gymnastics for almost a year now and he…read moreloves it! It never ceases to amaze me how different and creative every class is. There are courses built out all over the gym for the kids and they're different every week. They get especially creative around the holidays. They move around the gym to different stations with creative obstacle courses, like climbing along the rungs of a ladder and trying not to fall through the cracks into the swamp with the alligators or hopping over the witches hats on the balance beam! All this really keeps the kids engaged. The teachers are very patient as the little kids aren't usually following all of the directions and they keep the environment fun. Even when my son gets scared of new things, the instructors give the kids the space and support they need to get them motivated to participate. On top of making the classes super fun for the kids, Planet Gymnastics goes above and beyond and recognizes each kid periodically throughout the year with medals, giving them a sense of accomplishment and something to physically bring home for all of their hard work.

(Van Halen) If you think your little darlings would like to jump on mini trampolines, climb on ropes, walk on a balance beam, swing on rings, soar from the rafters on a zip line, smash each other with foam battle sticks, scale an arched wall, and just run around like a horde of demons -well just head on over to your closest Launch. Oh, and they have a game arcade with prizes, and a snack bar too. They have 30 locations across the US with 6 in Massachusetts. We visited Launch in Framingham, MA yesterday, and it was incredible. We made our reservations online and reserved an 11:00 slot on Sunday morning. Considering there are trampolines involved, you'll have to sign a liability waiver, either online in advance or at a kiosk when you arrive. A one-hour session on the play area costs $30. The time limit is monitored by specific colors on your wrist band, an overhead board that lists the remaining times for each color, and a team of roving attendants. We took our grandchildren there and quite a few other families did the same. By the time their session had expired, the place was packed and the decibel level inside matched the roar of the Artemis rocket. Our grands LOVED their visit and never stopped running around and taking on new physical challenges. The big child population also equaled a big parent/guardian population, and I observed that folks would congregate in the middle of the walkways drinking their lattes and effectively blocking other adults who wanted to track what their kids were doing. Some adults seemed to abandon their parental diligence in favor of social chit chat, and I saw one little boy who was crying terribly, looking for his mother who was otherwise socially engaged with her buddies. One last thing -at about the half hour mark, the lights inside the complex dimmed significantly. I thought it was a power failure, but when I asked one of the attendants, he said it was planned and designates regularly scheduled "Dark Time". I found it to be a negative since it made tracking your kid's whereabouts more difficult throughout the maze of activities, and I also felt it was dangerous because the dim lighting made it tough to see the dividing line between the walking paths and the drop into the various pits (at least the pits are padded with foam cubes). We also enjoyed the arcade games and grabbed a chicken nugget and French fry plate to share on the way to our next activity. I thought the food was pretty good by the way!

The lighting and sets exceeded our expectations and the monsters were fantastic! It was a thrill to go into battle and actually have opponents that attack and strike you. There is nothing else like this place ! The experience is very customizable and if you aren't quite sure what you are looking for the staff is experienced at building stories and running events.

Friendly, Fun and Good For All Levels!…read more I am writing this review as a newbie, but I planned and attended with 7 other people of different levels, ranging from the ages of 35-45. I traveled from California for a surprise birthday and had to plan it from afar. The staff was clear with all information regarding prices, rental equipment and description of what we would be doing for the day. Arrival: We all arrived right at 9am, signed in, and were able to pay individually(AMEX, MasterCard and Visa accepted). The cost was $58 each for a party, which included: * 500 rounds * gun * full mask(covers ears, forehead and down to chin) * two tubes on a belt to carry extra ammo * unlimited air * lunch with drink and chips (pizza/cheeseburger). $5 for additional lunch *2000 extra rounds is $65, ($40) if you have your own equipment. We bought 3 extra boxes for a full day with 8 guys. We had a few issues with equipment throughout the day to which the staff gladly fixed or swapped equipment. Let the games begin! There are two teams on the field(about 12-20 people per team), and being the less experienced, we got to start off defending a fort. There were some real pros out there, but people were all friendly, and it didn't deduct from our fun. Throughout the day, we played about 12 games (20 min each with about 10 min between), all with different scenarios. The course is 14 acres with tons of obstacles to hide behind. There are tons of trees and no open field. This is great for avoiding being hit, but can be trying to aim at your target through. 3 referees explain each game clearly, and take the course with you. They yell out if a man is hit, and make sure no one fires at them. They are strict with the rules but exceedingly helpful. Good for everyone: At one point, we had kids as young as 10 (many with professional equipment that could take us out from a mile away), men and women, and people as old as early 50's. It does require a good amount of walking, some climbing, and crouching. No one seemed to bully or push the boundaries of fair play. The Staff: I've peppered my review with comments about the staff, but since this was one of my biggest concerns, I'll give some more kudos. Being a first-timer, I felt like an idiot, well, most of the day. The refs would fix my gun in the field, check to see if I was actually hit, and direct me when I was totally lost. They were very heavy on the rules, nobody was hurt, and there were no arguments of real issues. The people working the office, food concessions, and equipment desk did whatever they could to make the day enjoyable. It's rare that you try something unfamiliar and have an incredible experience. Summary: 8 guys, different levels, different ages, and we all had a great time!
