There's just so much to look at and play that it's easy to wander around and keep finding another game you want to try. I know Ground Kontrol is also a bar, but I haven't tried any of the drinks, so I can only speak to the arcade side of things! The game credits are also pretty reasonable. For $20, you get 310 credits, which can actually last a surprisingly long time depending on what you play. I definitely appreciate being able to spend a good chunk of time here without burning through everything immediately. I played Street Fighter, Mario Kart, and a bunch of other arcade games, plus several of the pinball machines. There are so many classics packed into the place that it really does feel like a giant nostalgia trip. Definitely a fun spot if you like old-school arcades, pinball, or just want to relive the feeling of walking into an arcade and being surrounded by like-minded folks who are there to also have fun!

If I could give it ten stars, I would. So my better half told me about this place and that may have…read morebeen part of why I picked a hotel where I did. 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.

Gamepath Arcade is super cool and I can say my daughter loves it. The game prices are really not…read morethat bad so you can say it's affordable. Most games at 1 and 2 quarters. There are a few that are four. They also have several games that give tickets out and I can say that was also a hit. As far as prizes for ticket redemptions it was pretty fair and what I expected. To summarize we spent $20 and that was honestly more than enough money to have a good time. Looks like the also do birthday parties but I'm not sure the details there.

My family and I had a great time at Mt. Hood Adventure Park. We rode the alpine slide, which was…read moredefinitely the attraction I was looking forward to the most. The park was quieter and less crowded than I expected. The alpine slide alone was $29 per person, but you can purchase an unlimited pass for about $79-$89 per person. I recommend the pass if you plan to experience several attractions. The park has two sections--the east and west sides--which are about a three-minute drive apart. I don't recommend walking between them. Other attractions include a maze, zip lines, bungee jumping, go-karts, batting cages, rock climbing, a summer tubing hill, and much more. There is also a bar and restaurant on the west side of the park.

(This review is my kid's opinion about the alpine slide specifically)…read more "We didn't have to wait very long to get on [mom's note: we were there around 11AM on a Monday] so I recommend to get there early for not a lot of lines. There was good view from the top. The people were helpful to get you off the lift and onto the slide. They will tell you what to do, like how to go fast and slow. I liked feeling in control of the speed. There are leisure and experienced tracks but I didn't really seem to notice a difference. It took about 5-10 minutes to come down. Probably the trip up was longer." Another mom note re: missing 5th star: the website and pricing details were not easy to navigate. There is NO WHERE on the a la carte page that clarifies that the rides are per person (only on the paperwork at the gift shop do they make that clear). I had to fork over an additional $20 onsite but was not ready to spend an additional $30 beyond that for the experience. Instead, stayed at the bottom to get photos.

HOLY. SWEET. SISTER. MARY. FRANCIS…read more This place is... AWESOME. A couple buddies went with me from Eugene to Hillsboro to primarily check out this place. We are very pleased that we did. Upon pulling in, we worried, because the parking up front is sparse. There is, however, ample parking around the back. You have to hoof it a bit once to you do get parked, but they have enough room for everyone. There are food trucks outside - one with pizzas and others with chicken basket kinds of items. There are other small buildings around the main, large one. I am not sure what all is in those. One of them in the back has a bunch of claw machines. The others may be museum places and we didn't check those out. Once inside the main building, you get a wristband that allows you to play all day for $23. There is a small section of ticket/claw machine kind of games, but the vast majority of the 690 games are free to play arcade machines. Now, I have a multicade at home. I can play a lot of arcade games, but even with 12,000 games on my machine, there are a lot that I don't have. This place has many of the ones that mine doesn't (not all - but most). And it has 300+ pinball machines. When my friends and I first walked in, I went into a U-shaped area and spent 45 minutes playing a couple old racing games a bunch of pinball machines. They have pinball machines I've never heard. Lots of them that I have never heard of. My machine doesn't do pinball and I'm terrible at them, so I rarely play, but when they are free, I played a whole bunch! Beyond pinball, there was a skeeball area, several different driving games - including 3 different 4-person sets of Mario Kart, but they were always full with people that didn't one round and move on, they would play for 40 minutes straight and hog the entire thing. We never got to play Mario Kart since it was perpetually taken. We did get in on some other driving machines by luck. There was a Star Wars area with Star Wars games, there were old school and new school arcade games. There was one where you pull your guy up a mountain by pulling on a rope. A VR game, lots of shooters, and it is big enough that I lost my buddies a couple times and it took 3-4 minutes to figure out where they were playing. We were there for 5 hours an in no way had a chance to remote play everything. We wouldn't have had a chance to play all of the pinball machines solely (even though I suck at them and my games go pretty quickly) if that was all I was there to do. They did have a couple couches here and there and with all the standing in front of machines, your back and legs can get tired. There is a U-shaped area to bring your food from the food trucks inside to eat. Far too much to see and do in this place. I should note that it is very loud. If you have autistic children, they may struggle here. Noise cancelling headphones may help, but my voice was starting to go after the 5 hours because you have to be pretty loud to be heard over all of the games and the people inside. This place is epic. It doesn't have everything (I would have loved to have played Elevator Action, but they didn't have it), but it has soooo many games. And if pinball is your thing, you'll think you died and went to heaven. You really have to start early and somehow stay all day to get through sections of the establishment and even then, you'll have to come back again and again to finish playing the rest of the titles. I wish they had a method of moving people along for the popular driving games so people didn't just camp there for the majority of an hour, but there was plenty else to do so it is by no means a deal breaker. Even if you have arcade machines at home - or a multicade like mine - you need to see the epicness (that's needs to be a word) of Next Level Pinball Museum!

After ordering food and a round of drinks for the group, we sat down at one of the gaming booths, excited to dive in. When I went back to the counter to ask how to start playing, the bartender told me it was $5 per person to access the games and that guests needed to consistently order drinks to maintain access. Honestly, that seemed fair to me. However, things quickly went downhill. I offered to pay the game fee, but was told I needed to buy drinks first. I explained we had just bought drinks--he had literally served us minutes earlier. His response: "You need to have an open tab, and we won't let you play unless you order more." At that point, the experience soured. The staff felt dismissive and unwelcoming throughout the interaction. Despite already spending money, we were denied access to what we came for. We finished our drinks--which, for some reason, didn't count--and left. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, likely my last. (This place had 5-star potential when I first arrived, but the staff interaction left miserable)
