Ironwood Batting Cages

Great value. I’d give it more stars if I could. We buy in bulk, and they let us open an account to draw tokens from. They have bats and helmets to borrow for the cages for free. Not too crowded, and the staff and patrons are friendly.

If I had the money I would buy Ironwood Batting Cages. Exit 36 off of 128N then a quick left into Cummings Park. Go all the way to the end. 8 cages of slow and fast-​pitch softball plus slow, fast and very fast baseball. Just there today. It’s closing September 30^th for the season. (They reopen in April) I got 9 tokens for $ 10. If you’re really nuts you can get 124 tokens for $ 100. You can also rent by the half-​hour. Each token gives you 12 swings and every pitch is right down the middle. The best part? You’re OUTSIDE and you can see the ball off the bat for a good 100 feet. Call (781) 933‑6657 for hours.

This place was great! $ 1.50 for 15 pitches. They have 2 slow pitch softball cages, plus medium fast and really fast baseball cages. It’s hard to find, and outside so call before you go.

Best thing about Woburn. This is my favorite spot to go during my lunch to break away from co-​workers and customers. I buy the $ 20 for 20 tokens. 15 pitches each round. Plenty of various cages. Slow to very vast baseball and slow to fast softball. Nothing can get your mind off of something quite like practicing your batspeed. Ironwood is my sanctuary.

Buy in bulk, hit baseballs and softballs for years and years. That’s exactly what we did… if you buy enough of them, tokens can be as cheap as .67 cents a piece (if you want to throw $ 200 at it all at once). I think we ended up paying like .85 or .90 a piece with how many we got.
I worked right down the street for years and just stumbled upon this place one day while exploring the area. It’s almost impossible to find if you don’t know where you are going, its biggest drawback. Head past the BJ’s and turn left into an office park. Make a right and then all the way down in the back awaits your final destination. There is quite a tease off I-​95 too when you can see this to get onto I-​93 while most people have zero clue how to get to it.
If you want accurate, fast machines as a baseball player, this is the place to be. I visited another set of batting cages over the weekend and it doesn’t hold a candle to Ironwood’s. Super consistent with both speed and the pitches themselves, solid solid 5 stars for that. Another positive is that they are rarely broken down and/​or have a line to get into the particular speed you want, I dont think I ever waited more than a couple of minutes for it to be my turn.
I’m not sure what more you can ask in a place like this, maybe offering up a little food? I noticed a grill outside the window so I’m not sure if they make up hotdogs or something for customers. Anyway, if you’re within 10 miles of Woburn, this is one of the BEST batting cages around, a hidden gem!

Great batting cage, although its a little far and you have to drive to get there. They’ve got plenty of cages, and a few dedicated to slow pitch softball, which is what i was there practicing for. It’s pretty cheap, as you get 20 tokens for $ 20, and each token gets you 15 pitches. I wish they were open a little later, but 8pm isn’t even that bad. Overall, best place to go take some cuts without having to go to an expensive indoor facility.

Two slow pitch softball machines, which is great. Never a huge line, prices are unbeatable. A little hard to find – keep driving around the back of the strip mall-​y place where it’s located and you’ll eventually get there, just as you’ve decided you’ve gone too far.

Best batting cage north of Boston. Maybe I’m biased since I live 10 minutes from here but I haven’t found a better one. It’s got plenty of cages (9 or 10) and speeds to choose from for both baseball and softball. The tokens are pretty cheap ($ 20 for 22 tokens) if you print out the online coupon at their website and you get 15 pitches per token. As for the cage itself, it’s not one of those claustrophobic small cages like Extra Innings where you can’t hit the ball any further than 10 feet. The Ironwood cage has their netting pulled pretty far back (180 – 200 feet) so you can tell if you really hit it good or not. The only tough part is finding this place as it is tucked way in the back of the Cummings Park office park. Unfortunately if you’re reading this review now, the cages will close for the season on October 3^rd. But from April to September, this is the place to come to get your batting practice on!

Home run! What great fun for little $$$… and who doesn’t like that? Just happened to be driving by, and saw the little sign pointing to the back of the dull-​looking office park, and thought «what??? batting cages!!!». I hadn’t swung a bat in 12+ years, but this was great fun on a sunny day (it’s outdoors, so it’s seasonal), cheap, and plenty of parking.

This place was really easy to get to, it’s right near the junction of 93 and 95 in Woburn, and since I am currently sans GPS, that’s always a big plus. It’s way in the back of Cummings Commercial Park, and by the time I made it back past the boxing club, I was starting to worry about ever finding it, but it was right past the next corner. I called ahead, and they answered on the first ring and told me the hours for that day — I think they were open till 9 or 10, pretty late for outdoor cages.
The tokens were cheap, the bats were all pretty beat up, but there were plenty of cages, and I was taking turns in the slow pitch softball cage with a middle-​aged guy in steel-​toed boots and a 6 year old who had a better batting stance than I do. Definitely a lot of fun, and I’ll be going back throughout the summer and fall softball seasons.

A great place for a solid afternoon of fun! My friend and I went to kill some time outside and practice hitting for our respective afterwork softball leagues. They have a cage just for slow pitch softball that no one else was using, it was perfect! They have a deal where you can buy twenty tokens for twenty dollars, with each token equalling fifteen balls. With two people, that’s 150 balls for ten dollars!
Located in the back of the Cummings commercial park off of 128, so you do need a car to get here. And check the forecast before you go as they will not be open during inclement weather. They did have a sign at the entrance to the commercial park saying the batting cages were open, so if you don’t call ahead of time, I guess you would be able to find out before driving around to the back of the buildings!
Other than needing a car to get there, Ironwoods is a perfect afternoon escape from the city. I have to agree that outside batting cages are tops and for a beautiful Saturday this place was not that crowded and very reasonably priced.

Whenever I went there, I never had to wait too long to use the cage. Although the website says that they have 9 cages, but it seems more for some reason. Maybe because I remember the place being fairly empty.
They have pretty wide variety on speeds. They even have super slow. So if you aren’t confident on hitting the ball. Fear not. Use the super slow.
If you go to a batting cage, try to go to outdoor one like this one. Indoor one does still serve your needs (to hit the balls) but nothing feels far greater than watching the ball you hit going deep like Manny or Papi. And imagine that Don Orsilo’s exciting shouts resonating in your head «‘The Oriental Bob Ross’ does it again! Red Sox wins by Jimmy’s Walk off home run!!!»
Since this place is outdoor, make sure to check the forecast first if you are to plan ahead.
Oh! It could be only me but wear a glove (if you hit righty, wear it on left. If you lefty wear it on right)! I always get carried away and make nasty blisters on my right hand (I hit lefty) and it’s painful…

Got to love practicing for Softball at the batting cages, this place is never too crowded and they have a good coupon deal on their website.
