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!

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.

For just $23/day with in-and-out privileges, you can play unlimited games to your heart's content. With over 690 games and growing, wall-to-wall memorabilia and signed photos, and everything from childhood classics to newer titles -- they've got it all. And if you're a pinball wizard, this is absolutely your place. Hours are 10am to 9pm with plenty of parking. Getting hungry mid-session? No problem. You can bring your own food or grab something from their outdoor food carts -- hot dogs, pizza, you name it. There are also restaurants nearby, and with in-and-out privileges, you'll definitely want to take a break and refuel before diving back in. They even have a party room available for birthday parties or corporate events. And don't overlook the bathrooms -- yes, the bathrooms -- because the memorabilia continues in there too! Fair warning: I was so obsessed that I played all day long... and woke up the next morning with seriously sore hands. Totally worth it. Pro tip -- bring a friend or partner, because the two-player games are even more fun, and some games like Mario Kart let you race four or more players at once. I still can't believe they had all my favorites from the 1980s: Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Joust, Star Wars, BurgerTime, Rampage, Moon Patrol -- and so much more. Also, make sure to sign up for their club -- members get in for $20 on Thursdays, and your 10th visit is completely free. I'd give this place 10 stars out of 5 if I could. It's one of the most amazing arcades I've ever been to, and you absolutely will not regret going.

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.

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.
