Here's a list of places similar to that: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces

Unfortunately, only the larger hackerspaces have laser cutters, so your milage may vary. Fablabs are also places you can look into, however they usually cost quite a bit (techshop for example costs 100$ per month) compared to hackerspaces.
