Most of Grown Ups 2 was filmed in Massachusetts, mainly in the North Shore towns of Swampscott and Marblehead , which stand in for the fictional town of Stanton, Connecticut.

Main filming locations

  • The movie is set in Stanton, Connecticut, but production based the town almost entirely in Swampscott and Marblehead, Massachusetts.
  • Swampscott provided key neighborhood and school/field backdrops, including a large soundstage built behind the town’s football field for Lenny’s house and backyard.

Notable spots fans recognize

  • Many suburban street and coastal scenes were shot around Marblehead, including houses and small-town downtown areas used for family and friend hangouts.
  • Additional scenes were also filmed in other Massachusetts communities such as Saugus and Lynn, but these are used more sparingly compared with Swampscott and Marblehead.
