Where Fun Meets Community

Welcome to
Puddletown Adventures

At Puddletown Adventures, we’re all about creating unforgettable memories, one adventure at a time. Located in the charming town of New Hartford, Connecticut, we’ve built a place where thrill-seekers, relaxation enthusiasts, and fun-lovers of all ages can come together to experience something extraordinary.

Our Story

What started as a simple idea to bring more fun to our community quickly grew into a hub of exciting activities and events. We wanted to create a space where parents could reconnect with their inner child, kids could have the time of their lives, and families could bond over shared experiences. Puddletown Adventures isn’t just a venue—it’s a place where smiles are contagious and memories are made to last.

Rob started Puddletown to share with the world what these blasters can do—and to show there is so much more to Nerf blasters. He has found pure joy in sharing all his Nerf gear with friends, colleagues, and clients. Rob is a true entrepreneur, always working to better himself and his businesses.
