Customer Reviews

Great Sport Complex! Plenty of parking spots. Cafe, toilets, equipment. We were playing volleyball here. And everything was awesome!

If you have the server Erin you will not have a good experience unless you have a different party server you will love this place. Oh and instead of calling her Erin call her Karen. When my kid asked her for something she snapped back at my 5year old and gave her an attitude and told her to sit back down . Other than this person named Erin as your severer this place is the best and fun for your kids

Their Tod Squad was great! Lots of variety of toys and my kid had a great time

Attended a Birthday party. Place is awesome and kids enjoyed a lot in the maze along with arcade. As multiple Birthday parties are going on felt bit crowded otherwise all good.

I brought my son there for Tod Squad. He absolutely loved it. He enjoyed playing with the cars and trucks, play house, slide, and bounce house. There was a ton of space for him to just run. Highly recommend.

My kids take sports clinics here, and we've been to dozens of birthday parties as well. Great staff, and the kids always have fun.

The service was cool but the cupcakes were horrible and when it is someone?s birthday then they give the birthday boy or girl 100 something dollars and to us they gave us only 10 dollars in our card by the way on my birthday they gave me 1 turn but on my friends birthday they let him have 2 turns and the games are so hard and i only got 90 ticket?s that is why I give this place only 3 stars.

TodSquad is really fun. We brought our 2 year old and he had a blast. There's a wide open turf area with playhouses and baby slides. Two bouncy castles and a huuuuge play gym with slides. Very fun for all skill levels within the posted age range (1-4 years)

This place is awesome. I took my 3 year old son to the multi sport class. He loved it

We celebrated my child?s birthday at Branchburg Sports Complex with around 40 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was incredibly helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly, from setting up the party room to guiding the kids through each activity. The kids had an amazing time playing laser tag, exploring the arcade, and running around the indoor turf fields. I highly recommend BSC for anyone looking to host a fun, memorable birthday party ? it was a 5-star experience all around!

we had our son?s birthday party. Amazing service and full fun for kids. Kids really enjoyed it.

Super fun Lazer tag experience! Of course the the family playing is what made it fun but the staff were super nice and helpful and just let us have fun!

Ben is the reason for my visits. He is the hardworking and best king to work here. Give bro a raise

It's pretty busy Friday night but kids love it there

So much fun! Love how every area is contained. Took a group of children there. Had a blast! Excellent staff leadership, too!

We held my 6yr old son's Laser Tag party here and is was amazing. Naseem was our host and he took everything out of my hands. He had incredible patience and was great with the kids! All the kids has a blast!

It was a little expensive for one game. Place is super clean and organized.

This place is great for bithday parties. I hosted many parties here and had a lot of fun. Laser tag is great, the indoor playground is wonderful for kids, and the arcade is fun and exciting to be in. The many activities are all kid friendly!

Awesome destination, especially for kids parties. Basketball, gaga ball, jungle gym, arcade and laser tag.

Awesome toddler play program. Workers are extremely helpful. Will be coming back!

We bring our 2.5 yo here for soccer class, which is really more of a gym class at this age. His coach, Laura, is fantastic with the kids, and has a new program for them each week that encourages various age-appropriate skills. We always end with parachute games and songs, and the kids chasing bubbles. Each gets a stamp and high-fives at the end, no matter their level of participation. It's a great way for kiddos to be active - and the parents are too, chasing after them! I also appreciate their flexibility

Doesn't let youth sports teams use training facility to prepare for youth basketball games while it's unoccupied.

Excellent experience. Steve even helped give my son tips on his batting. Private batting cages. Will definitely return.

Great place for a child?s birthday party! The laser tag arena is tons of fun for kids and adults!

Went to a birthday party here for a 5 year old, they played laser tag and finished up in the arcade, super cute.

We held my son?s 10th birthday here. I was nervous about the RSVP because we live about 30 minutes away. I had over 20 kids attend. Great turn out! This was very easy to plan. Tessa and Heather are great! Tessa really guided me on how much food to order and gave me honest feedback when I was going a little overboard. I took advantage of all the package add-ons, which made my life easier. Yes, I did pay more but it was worth the lack of running around trying to find age appropriate toys for the goodie bags.

This place has been a favorite of ours for kids sports. My kids have grown up playing soccer here and this time around they decided to try baseball. The coaches we have had here go above and beyond for the kids. Coach Pete, Coach Tara, Coach Anthony, and Coach Ryan to say a few of the many?We've been treated very well here and will continue to come back because we love it so much.

Staff is usually very nice. Some of the games in the arcade don't always work but the staff will usually refund for a faulty game. I have had parties here and been to parties here. The kids love the Lazer tag!

We absolutely love this place for summer camp, and schools out drop-ins. We have been coming here for probably 10 years now? My youngest has done, sports focused camps, and the regular kid adventure camp. Coach Pete, Coach Chris? They put a smile on my son?s face every time we pull up. He always comes out excited from the day that he has had.

We've held 1 birthday party and been to multiple birthday parties here. Every time is a success. Kids love the laser tag, play maze, sports fields, and arcade. Staff is always nice and helpful. Great job!

Loved this place. So many arcade games and you get tickets for most games which you can trade in for prizes!!

We had my grandson's 9th bday party here. What a great time the kids had! They absolutely loved the Laser Tag arena! It was amazing! Everything was explained in detail. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating! Erin was such a gracious hostess and took care of any needs. We literally just had to show up! Everything was done and handled by Branchburg Sports Complex. Highly recommend!

I really love this facility. The classes they offer here for soccer are perfect for introducing the sport to little ones, or providing structure and more skilled training for older kids. I owe it to the coaches my kids have played with here. Coach Pete and Coach Dennis really set the bar high with their training/coaching abilities. They are the most extraordinary, caring, and dedicated coaches I have ever met. Both my boys stated they wished they could have these coaches for ever. The great coaches of Branc

We had our daughter's 4th birthday party at the Playmaze last weekend, and it went absolutely flawlessly. The staff were professional and courteous, the order of events was explained clearly and followed through. The price point is very reasonable. It exceeded our expectations. The only downside is how incredibly busy the place is that it makes navigating the parking lot a bit bananas.

What an vast and amazing indoor sports facility! Great staff, outgoing and friendly. Highly recommended!

Went with my daughter for a Lazer tag birthday party. Kids had a blast. Party host was great. My breathing was getting bothered by the chemical fake smoke in the Lazer tag arena.

We had our son's 9th birthday here today, and it was a blast! The time was split between flag football and gaga ball. The kids didn't grow bored! The trainer was energetic and kind. Then, when they stopped for pizza and dessert, the staff did all the serving and cleaning. The party ended with time in the arcade, which the kids loved. I can't recommend this place enough!

We love BSC! I have a toddler and we signed him up for soccer when he was 1.5 and Tod Squad in the winters. I also had his 3 year birthday party here recently and it went so smooth! Our hostess Victoria was on top of her game and super helpful? making sure everyone stuck to the schedule (playmaze and then arcade) and ate well. I dropped off the decorations the day before and they decorated for us. Great experience. Highly recommended!

Great place for practices and birthday parties.

Great for parties - all you need to do is invite the kids and pay the bill. Nice and surprisingly large laser tag. Great play maze. Arcade is pretty good. Clean! Great coaching & staff - love their sports classes too. A huge asset to our local community. Their schools out camp has been a godsend.

We bring our daughter here for soccer class and she loves going to their playmaze afterwards. Kind and courteous staff all around.

We had another great hour playing laser tag there. They're my favorite laser tag place in the U.S. Huge laser tag area with state of the art equipment. Great staff. Even the bathrooms are clean! My high schooler's friends loved it. It was 97 degrees out today & BSC's air conditioning was strong, so it was a great way to get exercise & stay cool. It's an hour away from us but it's totally worth it. So much fun for all ages.

Generic birthday party factory. The facility is as clean as it can be and the staff is mostly friendly, but the parties are sub par. They pack in so many parties simultaneously that the separate party tables feel cramped. Impersonal. Doesn't give off a 'special' vibe for the birthday kid if there 15 other birthday boy/girls in the same space. Additionally, there is no good place to pile jackets and presents except on the end of the table where all the parents cram in while the kids eat their pizza for 10 mi

A ton of games for both children and adults. Batting cages, basketball, soccer, field hockey ... You name it and you will find it here. A ton of birthday parties and family events are hosted here.

Great place to play indoor sports. Well lit and kept super clean. The fields are well kept and the staff are really accommodating. I even heard that there was the option of laser tag when I was leaving the other night. For young children there is an entire room set up for a massive jungle gym. Only con is that parking can sometimes be a pain on league days.

We hosted my sons 9th birthday party here, and everyone had a great time. From start to finish the planning was easy, and they provide everything to make for a fun filled party, with no stress on the parents! Our party host Kaycie was great. She was there every step of the way! Our Sports Marshall Sean- he was very involved and tended to each of our guests needs while playing! Would highly recommend!!

Great arcade games! And the Laser Tag is the best game! Even my friends like the Laser Tag. This place is big. But sadly I lost one of my belongings and I couldn't find it anywhere but the employee of the company store I ask they say they will find it and will give it to me but I had to leave with my teachers and it made me so sad. But yes they are nice people. (Yes I decided to change my comment!)

Beautiful and clean facilities, including the ladies bathroom. My son and team, NJ Give & Go "Orange Team" won their championship game on Saturday, 5/7/22. So proud of my son and his team. Great group of young man and caring coaches. Thank you! ???????? Star ? Basketball ?? Players!

We really enjoy going here! They have some great sports programs along with various options to pick from when hosting a party. Our favorite is laser tag! They also serve ice cream cups for birthdays, which the kids loved.

My kid has a 4th grade day there. The place is unorganized. Some kids got more than an hour on laser tag, and some kids got less than 40 minutes. When the teacher tried to fight for it. The guy told the teacher, not much they can do. He just told her life is not fair. Definitely, I won't bring my kids there.

Went for a birthday party - my son had fun at the Laser Tag followed by other kids activities including arcade games. The arcade games though seem to be aged though

My kids went to a birthday party here. We were blown away at the size of the facility as well as the fun activities! Arcade could be bigger though. Next time I'll go in the laser tag to see how cool it is.

Awesome, awesome, awesome place! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The playmaze is super fun and a great workout for kids and parents. The arcade has really fun games and the Lazer tag is too notch!

Great atmosphere! Plentiful parking outside. Huge open space and it's clean inside. Lots of exciting things to do and games for children to play; even adults can join in the fun! The workers were very nice & accommodating. Wonderful place for a birthday party.

We went yesterday as a small family gathering, the place was PACKED. Despite being so busy, everything was clean and the staff was amazing! I have a 4 year old that has autism. He wanted to play laser tag with our family after the crowd thinned out a lot, but I was unsure of how he would react - there was a gentleman that helped us get suited up, he let us walk around inside to see how he would do with the lights out and the music playing. They even had a kid size version vest that was a little lighter. He

I just held my son's 7th birthday party and they did a really good job. We started out with soccer but I think you have a few more options on which activities you want your children to be involved in along with their party. Then we went into dodgeball which was a hit. After the kids play games for about an hour then you move into the food portion and then head to the arcade. It really makes sense. It's a nice flowing party and the parents don't have to do much. They really do have a lot of options for the p

Arcade is really fun. Hanged out here with some friends and had a lot of fun. Some machines in the arcade were broken but not too many. At the time, there was a 20 dollar unlimited laser tag game deal. Pretty fun. Overall, a great place.

Great place for birthday parties the prices vary but should be around $40 per child but very limited choices of food. Pizza is restricted to only one place. Cake is included no credit if you need to get egg-less or something great place for kids to play and socialize.

Very nice facility, recently had a birthday party and Kayla was our host. She was great with the kids. They really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend them for laser tag!

Great place with a lot of activities for kids. I had my son's birthday party at the Laser Tag Arena and the Arcade; the kids had a blast!!! Staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time here.

I had my daughter's birthday party here, and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. They made my daughter's birthday extra special! I recently tried to plan another day for my kids, and Scott Polizzio was so amazing. He was willing to run a program, just for my kids so that I wouldn't be left in a tough spot. I couldn't believe how kind and helpful he is! Despite all that is going on, there are good people at BSC and they will continue to have my business in the future!

They have laser tag soccer batting cages. All that in one activity is amazing but you can also do them separately. Great place to take your kids for sports and or games. The only negative is that they have to close at night.

We love the BSC. They try to find ways to use their facility to serve the community at all times of day. I personally have never had a bad experience. My littlest ones liked today squad and the play maze. The youths at my church like laser tag, and there is so much more going on.

Very nice Lazer tag and staff were so nice and courteous!

Well you need PATIENCE! And AT LEAST about $30 a kid or adult,WORTH IT. kids love it! Best laser tag around!2Floors! Would give it a 5 if all machines worked properly,BUT! They are good about refunding if it applies.

Very nice place, we had my grandson's birthday party and we had a great time. Victoria, our designated helper, was excellent. I highly recommend this place.

My boys love it here. They play the arcade games and rack up tickets for prizes. For parents - the noise can be deafening, but if your a big kid like myself, you simply enjoy the smiles on your kids faces and you know it's worth it. Lazer Tag is fun.

They were very accommodating when the place wer were going to have my son's party at closed. The complex is huge and there's something for everyone. We did laser tag there and it was a lot of fun, highly recommend!

Another successful birthday party! 3 of us moms got to play lasertag with our kids. Pizza and cupcakes were perfect! Heather was a super party host. Clean, fabulous fun!

great place for all my grandchildren (4) aged 5 8 12 and 17 the oldest likes the Laser Tag - the 12 year old Air hockey and larger video games and plenty of ski ball and other games for the littler ones

My son took a 10 week soccer class here and progressed a lot. We love the maze, too - it's often pretty quiet in the later afternoons. Great place to burn some energy!

This place is just gross. The bathrooms are filthy. The courts are littered with garbage & little rocks because of the turf underneath. When we have scheduled games here, I cringe.

Todd squad is a lot of fun. This is a good thing for a young kid to have especially since being cooped up with covid and all that. My daughter has a blast every time here. The gym has tons of room and plenty of things to do

I went on a school field trip and it took super long to get in. when we got in it was fun but also super crowded. I later went for a friends birthday and was super crowded and barely any thing was open to do.

It was a great experience. They have good number of activities to do plus laser tag was amazing. Great place to have fun with friends and kids. I will definitely go there again

Just nice to know when a place is run by great people. I had an event that got cancelled on short notice, and we had rented out half of a field on a Saturday for two hours. They conducted business in the kindest of ways on what I'm sure is a busy day for them. I'm a small business owner and that means a lot to me.

First time bringing my young son, the coaches were young high school girls, which is fine, but there was no introduction to the kids, nothing, it made difficult for the adaption. Needs more warm welcoming and a socialization.

Having tried many laser tag locations, this is the best by a long shot in the Central NJ area. Great for parties and the arcade afterwards is always a kid favorite, though us adults also have a lot of fun.

The complex itself is wonderful. They have a lot of activities for kids of all ages. The staff is very young and not always friendly. Teenagers who could care less some are nice but some are very rude!!

We had our sons birthday Party here and I have to say we had an amazing time. The staff was awesome the place was well kept and we overall enjoyed our experience.

Great place to bring the kids. So much to do and they have the best laser tag for miles around. You want to play laser tag this is the place. Nice arcade with the latests machines.

Amazing place for Birthday party. The boys and me loved the laser tag arena, just like a war movie, insane!!!

Great place to bring kids for a fun day. Prices can be high, but not terrible.

We had my sons 8th birthday party here. The kids had a great time playing soccer and gaga and on the arcade. The staff did a really great job.

BSC is one of the best places to bring your kids for sports workshops, boot camps, and birthday parties. They also do a really great job with camp for days off from school.

Fantastic place to spend with my granddaughters for their birthdays. It has become the regular place of choice for laser tag and other games. Very safe and clean.

It was a lot of fun. The laser tag arena was very awesome but a little short. Has a lot of arcade games. It was a great birthday party!

Flag football is not well organized. There is no one teaching the kids. It is just scrimmages. The teams r very lopsided. Some teams are coached by parents and have older kids only. They should at least have similar ages on each team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
