    Nice environment, something to do for everyone- bowing, arcade, pool, food and drinks Prices are higher side. Arcade games 3 points per game- $1 for 2 point Bowling $12-$13.99 per person + $5.99 for shoes

    Lots of great games!

    This is a nice, clean arcade & bowling alley. They've got games ranging from claw prize grabbers to video games, a pool room, and a lot of bowling lanes. Music was 90's pop, a good volume, not overwhelming. The reason I went w 4 instead of 5 stars is it is rather tough to bowl- it's pretty slippery, and the televisions reflect on the lanes so you cannot see the arrows. They do offer bumpers for kids and a ramp to roll the ball for little ones, so that's helpful for families. The waitress was excellent, food decent quality, we had the artichoke spinach dip, which was good. Overall Bowlero is a nice place and staff is very good, prices are not cheap but are comparable to most places like this, it's a fun date place!

    This is my go to bowling alley next to Southcenter. I realized that this place rather clean. The are plenty of lanes, billiards, arcade, and a decent bar area. The food options meet expectations and the servers are friendly.

    We had ourselves a company function for a local aerospace company, and our division was celebrating all the hard work our team had achieved... so the large group of us came here for some fun and connecting with one another outside of a workplace. We had several lanes reserved, pool tables abundant, an arcade area, and good food! The bowling was fun and I seen many smiles and happy faces! Thank you, Bowlero, for accommodating such a large group and making it a memorable experience. Our teammates still ask when we are going back. Hopefully, soon! I definitely recommend this place for fun and unwinding with friends, either over a meal or drinks. As always, enjoy and Happy Bowling for Pizza!

    Fun place to bowl with friends. Food and drinks are good. Sometimes the sensors are a little off with how many pins you knock and they use string pins. Staff is super nice and attentive.

    Arrived at Bowlero at around 8:30 pm for 7 people on a Saturday night and there werent that many people. When we left around 10:30 pm, the place looked already packed. It costs $11.99 per game per person and $6.99 per pair of shoes and socks. Drinks were decent at a decent price. You could barely taste the alcohol. One issue we had was there didnt seem enough space for all 7 of us at our side of the lane. There were seats available up top, but it wouldve left a couple people out. There also wasnt enough space for us to put our items in. A little perch below the table and hooks for purses and jackets, but nobody felt safe to keep those items behind us if nobody was seated up top. Overall, we will still come back, but maybe not so often since it is pricey just to bowl one game.

    I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I was completely blown away…read more From the moment we walked in, the level of professionalism and cleanliness stood out, especially for a kids' arcade and activity center. Everything felt well run and thoughtfully managed. One thing that really impressed me as a parent was the staff member monitoring the entrance and exit. He was incredibly attentive. He recognized us, noticed our child, and was clearly keeping track of who was coming and going. Of course, you should always watch your own kids, but having someone that alert adds a huge layer of peace of mind. We used a Groupon, and if you have ever used one, you know it can sometimes be a hassle, but not here. The process was seamless. A staff member radioed ahead for us, and by the time we got to the snack counter, they already knew what to do. No waiting, no confusion. We were set up immediately and on our way. That level of coordination was impressive. Every game we tried was working perfectly, including VR games, which is rare in most arcades. Even smaller details, like all the basketballs being available at the Papa Shot machines, did not go unnoticed. The kids' drop ride was a huge hit with my daughter, and the claw machines, which guarantee a prize, were a fun bonus, especially as a way to end the visit on a high note. The prize center was also well balanced, with reasonable ticket costs and fun options. They had some great games too, like rhythm games and classics, that made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The real surprise was the food. We ordered pizza expecting typical arcade food, but it exceeded expectations by a mile. It was soft, fresh, and genuinely delicious, easily better than what you would find at places like Chuck E. Cheese. The entire dining area was spotless, which is almost unheard of in venues like this. Tables were clean. Floors were clean. Everything felt cared for. The service continued to impress throughout. Our food came out quickly, and when we finished, the staff handled all the cleanup. We actually went out of our way to find cash just to leave a tip because the service deserved it. We originally came for the full experience, including batting cages, laser tag, go karts, and mini golf, but honestly, even before doing any of that, I can confidently say this place is incredibly well run. Based on everything we experienced, I have no doubt the rest will be just as great. If you are a parent looking for a fun, safe, and well managed place for your kids that you will actually enjoy too, this is it.

    Be careful going to Family Fun Center. I used to really like this place, and hosted several…read morebirthday parties here. Over the years the technology they use doesn't seem to be keeping up, where things will glitch causing lots of time and effort to get the tickets earned reflected on your card. Luckily we took a picture of the ticket rings that were won at the claw machine prior to adding them onto the card, but even after that, it was still a big hassle where management seemed suspicious that we were trying to dupe them out of tickets that were earned properly. What was surprising is that they didn't even bring the staff member over that scanned the ticket rings initially to confirm she had added the tickets. After adjusting the tickets, my card account was still active on the board, so I went back and checked to make sure it was closed out properly to avoid any further ticket issues. I asked the original staff member if she remembers adding my tickets, and she said she did but we should be good now as this was a system glitch. I accepted the explanation and took that as issue closure. Later when we went to pick prizes, another "lead" employee approached me (wish I would've taken her name), and immediately accused me of being rude and aggressive towards the staff member that added my original tickets. As a lead, I would have expected her to ask me if there was any issues with the employee, instead of outright accusing the customer. I asked her to clarify what was taken as rude or threatening, as I never raised my voice or said anything out of line even though this issue took some time to resolve. She wouldn't give me any specifics but just warned me to not be rude. Instead of getting into any further back and forth with her, I decided to just pick a few prizes and leave. I found it very unprofessional for the lead to approach me in that manner, while the Manager Tabitha didn't step in, even being close by. If something was said that was perceived as rude, let's bring everyone together and hash it out. I can guarantee *God as my witness* that I never said anything offensive, threatening, or rude to any of the staff members. All I did was provide details and proof that there was a system glitch and the tickets that had previously been added were not on the card. At no point did I ever blame or fault anyone at FFC for this issue. Rich Yee, if you'd like to discuss this matter with me directly please reach out.

They have an incredible collection of pinball machines, and enough arcade cabinets to take a break from chuckin' steel at ramps (I still wish they had a Third Strike cabinet, but I won't hold it against them). There's also a back patio if you need a break from the din of the machines or want to have a conversation with your friends to discuss which Ninja Turtle is the best. It's Raphael. It's always Raphael. They have a fridge full of a variety of canned adult beverages and soft drinks, along with a non-alcoholic slushie and an alcoholic slushie to sip on while gaming. The majority of their machines have cup holders to help you out with your beverages. I usually need a couple of Rainier tall cans to get me loosened up enough to be at peak pinball performance. There's also a varied selection of small pizzas if you need something to snack on. It's a family friendly spot until about 9-10pm? I can't remember exactly, but after that time, everyone under 21 must leave the premises and it's adult swim time. The atmosphere has always been very even-keel though, I rarely notice when kids are or aren't present. The bartenders are sweethearts and love talking nerdery when they're not busy (What's up Randal 'n' Forrest!).

I originally thought this was a place meant to look like an old arcade based on reviews and pictures but this is truly an old arcade. Everything from the smells, carpet, machines, and vibe brings you back to the peak arcade days. There are a couple newer machines like Minecraft and 4 person PacMan but the majority of the machines are classics. They have multiple coin machines to exchange cash for coins and it seemed like games were between 25-75 cents each credit. We didn't try any of the food or drinks so I can't comment on that but there were other people enjoying that. They had signs on the front door that kids are allowed until a specific time as well.

Waterland Arcade is one of them. Certainly not the largest venue and they have quite a mix of video arcade games as well. Everything that I played on worked as expected. Not every arcade can make that claim. What was really cool besides the games were the people who worked there. Friendly, laid-back and willing to answer questions. My wife didn't but sat outside the building at a table and chair with the dog. We were meeting friends for dinner somewhat nearby, so I had a couple of hours to work out some energy. I had originally intended to spend some time in Hillsboro, Oregon at a major arcade but failed to note that they were closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I wasn't able to get my fix in. The admission fee is a quite reasonable $16 per person age 14 and over. I am a first responder and appreciated the 10% discount on admission and drinks. Military members, Nurses and Teachers also receive the same discount. They claim to offer over 40 ice cold craft beers and ciders, but I was happy with my Diet Coke.

They have many games to choose from so I suggest going to their website prior to visiting to check out which games you are interested in, so you can make the most of your gaming time. $25 for 30 min and $40 for 1 hour, if possible go for the full hour. It is your choice which games you want to play. Escape room type games take much longer and will eat up your time sometimes can take the full hour They have team games, versus shooting games, escape room games etc. Our favorites: Cook'd Up (work as a team, hilarious and lots of laughs, similar to the game overcooked) Plush Rush (work as a team, set up is like you are in the movie Toy Story and it's like a defend your base type of thing) Arrow song (similar type of shooting game but with arrows and a fantasy setting) *They have a hunting animals game and experiences where you can shoot each other too.

They always help you with the virtual reality gear (two hand things (apparently I'm not cool or trendy enough to actually figure out what the hand controls are called ) and the virtual reality headset). Also, we finished our escape room early and the employee there let us try five minutes of another virtual reality simulation because we hadn't used up our full hour with the other one. I was very impressed by their integrity with that, especially since we just had five minutes left and certainly wouldn't have noticed. Extra details: Half hour activities are $25 per person. One hour activities are $40 per person. They have options like laser tag, active shooter simulations (like shooting zombies and stuff), a few random simulations like cooking, and lots of virtual reality escape rooms. They have a lot of options, and the virtual reality gear is always clean. I've only done the escape rooms and they're actually pretty challenging. You can get hints within the simulation if you need them, and there's a constant timer as to how much time you have left. Final thoughts: It's a little spendy and virtual reality itself is always a little disorienting, but it's a very fun activity and team building exercise to do with friends or family!

And if you wanna blast to the past you can play one of the old nostalgic gaming consuls for about $10 an hour.
