We are the kind of family that doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day, but this year it happened to fall…read moreon a Saturday so we still needed to find something to do with our 3 year old. Typically we would just drive into portland if we needed something to do but we wanted to stay closer to home. We decided to try out this bowling alley. We definitely didn't expect much. The first thing that we noticed was the strange carpet outside the building. Oh well, it's an old place. For being a holiday the place was pretty busy. We got one of the two open lanes that were not already occupied. It's always nice when they let our little one bowl in her own shoes instead of making her wear shoes that don't fit, so that was a plus. I ordered a pitcher of beer and some mozzeralla sticks. I waited for almost half an hour before having to go up there to see if they were finished yet. They forgot to start them. I was slightly annoyed but when they came out they were delicious and we were having a good time. They asked us if we wanted any marinera sauce, we said yes please! Too bad, we never saw it. We ended up ordering another pitcher of beer and playing another game. We had a great time and they fixed the issues promptly with the equipment (this happens everywhere you bowl). By the end of it my daughter wanted to play some arcade games. None of them were age appropriate except for a little ride on motorcycle. That's okay, she had no idea and loved every minute of it. My boyfriend kept trying to play the prize machine. He put in six dollars and finally landed on the prize. Unfortunately the machine didn't give him his prize. I went to the counter and asked the lady for some help. She was excellent! She couldn't give him his prize and actually gave him all his money back. That was not at all what we expected. She even chatted with us for a few minutes about coming back to have her son in law drill a ball for us. She was very sweet and is why we this place got four stars. We will definitely be back for more family entertainment!

I come to the bowling alley every once in awhile with a group of friends and we always know we are…read moregoing to have an incredible time if Mike is there. His customer service and desire to make sure our night is enjoyable is his top priority even completely stopping what he is doing to literally sprint to the back of the alley to fix our pins if there is a mechanical error of any sort. He as well as the other staff members treat us great every time and its the reason we choose to continue to bowl there when we are in town. My only caution is to watch out for the owners son, he gets hammered and walks around to try to bet money on games against more inexperienced players claiming he is as well, inexperienced. He is actually pretty good compared to the casual player and needs to grow up and stop trying to hustle paying customers that keep the alley running in the first place. He also loves to brag that he is the owners son the entire time(which really isn't impressive and I believe does nothing but give the alley a bad reputation.) Myself, as well as 3 of my friends had to tell him that we didn't want to bet him on games over 20 times(to be conservative) and Mike, as well as his friends had to literally pull him away. Other then that specific individual I would 10/10 recommend and definitely plan to return.

A solid 4. Man alive is it EXPENSIVE to bowl now a days. Oh lord - do I sound OLD AF saying that!!!…read moreHa! My daughter and I went to bowl as part of celebrating her birthday. She and I chose King Pins. Well I technically chose them as the bowling was the least expensive in the area. And for us two, for 90 minutes, it was almost $70. Yes. That's EXPENSIVE. So we made the most of it and had a great time. We played with all the options in the bowling area for games and were silly and had fun. And clearly didn't bowl well lol But despite the price - fun was had. Service is okay at best over by the "Tap house," but at least the option exists to have "table service," while you bowl. This trip was just bowling. No arcade! Still 4 stars.

We recently held a teen party here and it was easily one of the easiest planning/executions anyone…read morecould have asked for! It was a last minute ask (thank you, dear child *eye roll*) that I was able to book at a preferred time in under a week, and the kids had fun, which is what mattered most! From start to finish, service was spot on: we were met by Coleton who walked us through the logistics & timing, as well as helped with some changes I requested due to attendance, and our server was Paige who made sure the boys never went without beverages. Pizzas came out quickly so the kids were able to eat & bowl, and everything was timed to perfection so they were able to sing to the Birthday Boy and enjoy cake before heading over for some Laser Tag & arcade time to end the festivities. It was also great to have a table reserved in the arcade area for belongings & whatnot, which also allowed some pitchers of beverages for the rest of the time. The space itself was immaculate and staff was buzzing around to keep tables turned over, bowling balls replaced to their rightful homes for future bowlers and the restrooms (at least the ladies!) were also clean (I know that can be a big deal for families, especially with Littles). All in all, I'd say this was money well spent, especially considering everything that is included in the package. For 7 total kids, I think they played 3-4 games of bowling, we did 2 laser tag games & their arcade time, didn't have to set up, break down or clean up party supplies/food, etc -- id do it again in a heartbeat!

Its so fun to just be able to play without doing mental gymnastics to see whether or not it'd be worth it for the amount of credits you have left. As well as the pinball machines they have TONS of retro arcade game machines and lots of new stuff as well! Genuinely a place that can be enjoyed by all ages. The staff are always super kind and helpful! AND it's open late!!! One of the only things you can do in the Portland Metro Area thats open past 9pm! You can even leave and comeback if you have something planned or need food, your wrist band will allow you to get back in! None of this "if you leave you have to buy another ticket" crap. With arcades being a dying breed and feeling more and more like a cash grab nowadays, places like these are important to have!

Each of the machines have some history about the machine and the pricing is very reasonable. They also change out machines from time to time. The business also seems to be a community space which is really nice to see as well. We definitely plan to stop by here again on our next trip to Rockaway or one of the other neighboring cities. Also, this is located near one of the inland waterways and other local shops so you can take breaks from playing and get some ice cream and hang out by the water on a nice day.

So that we would just be around the corner and popping in here would be easy during our stay. Luckily I was able to come in on two different days, and at different times! We got both the night life experience and the day time experience. I think I preferred the day time because it wasn't as busy. Night means cover charge ($4) and bag check. And no kids. You might see some kids during the day. What a cool place, with yummy drinks (no food), and all my favorite arcade games, and then some! They operate on a card system, so no coins needed when you visit. My pinball wizard friend had been traveling arcade ready with coins in her bag, but it turns out they weren't needed. Ground Kontrol supplies free lockers to store your stuff; just follow the instructions and don't forget your code. I learned a lot about pinball during my visits here, and played more pinball than I usually do because of that. I mean, why not? I played one of the newest pinball games, released within weeks of my visit, which was Pokemon themed, and I played one of the more vintage pinball machines, Xenon. And everything in between! It was awesome. $20 loaded onto a card will get you 15ish games, but there is a different cost depending on which game you're playing. I was satisfied with the value and would, and did! come back again. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area! Make sure to check out the whole place, as it's bigger than you think and there are more games (mostly pinball) upstairs.

A little smaller than I was expecting. The place is really cool tho…read more It seems like majority of the games were pinball machines or old school classic arcade games. There's a parking lot right across the street for easy parking. I didn't try any food or drinks from the bar this time around but the staff at the entrance were nice and friendly. Overall, this place was a bit underwhelming but if you're into drinking and pinball machines, this is the place! I just wish they had a little more variety with their games.

Seaside, Seaside, Seaside... I moved there when I was three, and if you grew up around that salty…read moreair and carnival glare, you know exactly what Funland means to me. My mom was a die-hard Ms. Pac-Man slinger back in the day, and my brother and I would burn through quarters like we were trying to keep the Oregon economy alive. The place still carries that old-school magic classic skee-ball lanes, the photo booth that's been snapping goofy faces for decades, and enough blinking lights to make a grown man feel like a kid again. Old games, new games bells ring, tickets sing, and nostalgia swings. Now these days your fun card works over at the rides too, and let me tell you something about those bumper cars. The track looks small... but those little devils spin, bang, and ricochet like a bar fight on roller skates. Fast, loud, and chaotic in other words, perfect. I always run a few laps there, but this trip I talked my wife into the Tilt-A-Whirl, that beautiful old beast that feels like it's been spinning folks silly since the 1920s. You know the one with the operator stick push forward and she flies, pull back and those cars start spinning like a politician dodging questions. By the time it really got going, we were holding on for dear life. I was laughing. My wife... not so much. Now I'll admit something bittersweet. Seaside isn't quite the little carnival town it used to be. They tore out the old roller coaster, a bunch of rides, and even that little snow cone shack at the end. These days it's more shops, more crowds, more folks than a church picnic on payday. But even with all that... Seaside still holds the crown on the Oregon coast. The beach cuts the wind just right, the Prom is perfect for a long walk, Broadway's buzzing, and the Turnaround still feels like the center of the whole show. So here's the rhyme and the reason, the simple seaside truth: Walk the Prom, hear the gulls cry, smell the salt in the air. Play some games, crash some cars, spin 'til you don't care. Drop a few bucks, laugh all day, let the good times expand Because a trip to Seaside just ain't complete... without a little time at Funland. Five stars. Still the king of coast-town fun.
