Stronghold Ops

Great place to play, the staff is friendly and the referee’s are fair. I regularly make the hour long drive to get here and I always have a good time.

Terrible place to play. No rules are enforced. They give you a gun that doesn’t fire and falls apart. They say auto weapons are restricted but then let people blast you with a gun with a ridiculous fire rate and don’t stop him. The equipment is all falling apart and old. The course is filthy and full of splintered wood. All in all this is the worst place to play. The crew is all rude and will just yell at you and tell you you are doing it wrong. Ok buddy. Let me just sit out of sight for the entire game and try to get the weapon you rented to me working while I get blasted by cheaters using fully auto gear. Never going back and you shouldn’t either unless you like being disappointed.

Started playing airsoft here two weeks ago and love it. I meet the husband and wife owners. They are awesome people. Extremely nice and caring about your experience there. The field is great. It’s huge. Cqb engagements and long distance fire fights. The staff is helpful and nice. The people that come play here are honest playing. Genuinely nice people. I come by myself and there is always someone you can get to know and run with. New England’s best indoor field!

it looks like a lot of the negative reviews are for an old business that no longer exists here. Be sure to look at the dates. we have lots of fun every time we come! the pro shop is well stocked and the new lower prices help make it affordable for everyone! it’s very safe and the refs make sure to keep it exciting. we will definitely be back again!

I recently visited the site with my two sons ages 14 and 10. It was my youngest son’s first time playing airsoft. The staff was great with them they walked him through how to use all the equipment as well as all safety procedures. He had such a great time he made me take them back the next day and stayed for nine hours. The site was a little crowded on the second day but we still had an excellent time. Overall we had a great and positive experience

Truly incredible indoor field. Nice mix of structures, in a large, movement — facilitating arena. There are many different game types, to keep things interesting. Super helpful, kind staff. The play area is MUCH larger than most indoor facilities. There is always good turnout for the games, si you don’t need to worry about showing up to an empty field. Playing at stronghold is truly a great experience.

Wonderful field. Well built and well maintained. Looking forward to seeing what they do in the future.

Great place, great staff! These guys and gals really know their stuff! They are organized and ready to help everyone have fun while being safe, too!
I can’t wait for the next Op!

This place is wonderful! Fantastic new owners who really have it together! I have been bringing my grandson to airsoft for 3 years & he loves it… every other place was run poorly & I never felt comfortable leaving him. This place now is safe, friendly & comfortable. Very busy on Saturdays which is good… Happy to finally find a well run facility!!!

This is a review of the airsoft field. For everyone out there confused by the reviews, realize that this place has changed from an parkour, trampoline, acrobatics place to an airsoft field in the last year. I think the reason was that the insurance was too high to cover as others have put it «deathtraps».
Anyways, the place itself is fairly nice. The field is pretty cramped since they tout it as «Close Quarters Battle». If only considering the field, I would probably give this place a 4 – 5 star. However, the experience is completely ruined by the utterly rude and coarse staff. It boggles my mind that they would put such acrid and hostile people in a customer facing position. You could pick any random person off the street and they could do a better job at handling customers than these guys.
The staff walk around in military/​Army attire despite having never served in our armed forces. I think playing dress up really got to their heads because they then walk around pretending to be drill sergeants, hollering at people, and talking down to everyone. If you have a concern or questions, forget about it. One big staff member actually just grunts and ignores you, as if we’re all in actual basic training or something. If I wanted people to treat me like shit and be demeaning, I would just go join the actual military. Sorry, but I’m actually here to have fun. I cannot emphasize how unprofessional the staff is here. We’ve been here around 5 times and it’s somehow been getting progressively worse each time.
The people you play with is also kind of a downer. Obviously this is different each time you come, but in general, we’ve found that the people who play here are not really that friendly. A lot of the older guys are overly aggressive.
If you are an adult and can ignore all the crappy parts, then you can come out with a few fun moments. If you are a parent, please, do not take your child here. There aren’t that many places to play airsoft in massachusetts, but the other places are worth the distance. We now drive an extra hour to a field in Bourne, MA; it’s excellent and is where we play now.

It’s really too bad that this place has such a bad average because of too large of a crowd due to Groupon.
In any case, this really is a solid place to play airsoft. I try to come here as much as possible. Although the field price is expensive ($ 25/​day), and I like to come Fridays, they often do deals where they have $ 10 or $ 15 field passes (check their Facebook page). I almost always come when I see a deal.
Saturdays can get pretty packed, but on Fridays and Sundays they often have a crowd of 10 – 25 people which is perfect. The staff is great, the place is clean and safe, and it’s always a blast. I really do love this place.

Keep in mind that the negative reviews for this establishment are from the zombie events that happened in the Halloween season. Since then, new management has been hired and the field and the culture has undergone major change.
If you weren’t aware already, stronghold is a close quarters airsoft facility. The field is quite large compared to any other CQB fields in the Massachusetts area. It is relatively well balanced with an open middle area for longer range firefights, and structures to navigate through on either side for closer fights and flanking. I quite enjoy the playing field and most of the people who play there. The pricing is very reasonable, especially if you have your own equipment.
As far as me, I’m a military veteran with a background in firearms instruction, and I’ve played paintball and airsoft since my early teenage years, I am now 25. However, if a new player is willing to throw themselves into the fire, I’m willing to bet you would learn extremely quickly from the veteran player base, who I dare say would be more than happy to help that person out as far as tactics, aggression and gunfighting.
I’ve deducted one star for a few reasons. Some of the referees are less than ideal and have a hard time corralling players into the games. The regulars and teams always want to stay together, and this often turns into a slaughter of the walk ons and rentals. For example, players have been known to walk on the field after the game has started, upsetting the team balance and turning a fun airsoft game into a meat grinder. Granted, when tank (the new operations manger, or whatever his title is) is on the field, these types of problems tend not to occur. Also, I believe 400fps with a .25 gram bb is a tad hot for cqb play, I would be more comfortable with 400fps with a .2 gram bb. However this seems to not be a problem, since I’ve never seen anyone running a gun close to the limit, and the polar star crowd (myself included) tend to self regulate and make sure our guns are not hurting people by choreographing well below the limit.
Aside from some referee and team balancing issues, you have the problems that every field has, which is cheating. It’s not the fields fault, but tempers can get quite hot and I would like to see more ejections and bans for people having temper tantrums, which kind of ruins the vibe for most of the players.
In short, stronghold is your best option for a CQB field in the greater Boston area. I’ve had some great nights here, with the occasional night where I leave shaking my head. Now that the outdoor season is upon us, I’ll be spending more time at UBG in bourne, but if you want to be indoors or play at night, this is the place to go. Aside from some minor issues, you will probably have a good time here. Just remember that we are playing a game, and leave the tempers at home.
