We went to The Rec yesterday for their Monday Madness night. It was a packed house, and their staff…read morewere super busy accommodating all of the customers' requests. We rented two lanes for the time, one for the kids and one for the adults--eight of us in all. Unfortunately, the kids' lane wasn't working at all, and it turns out they wouldn't be able to fix it that night. As most of the lanes were rented out already, we thought we were going to just have to get a refund and have the kids bowl in our lane. Instead, in the midst of dealing with all of the other demands on their attention, they were able to shuffle things around, and relocate us to two other lanes that were next to each other. We had no other issues the rest of the night, and had a lovely time. The manager/owner and his crew could not have been more professional, kind, and even-keeled. They brainstormed a variety of solutions during the controlled chaos that was happening with the influx of customers all coming at the beginning of the event, and wanted to make sure our evening was rescued and fun. We all ended up having a blast, the food was good, and our night was indeed everything we had hoped it would be on a summer night trying to escape the heat. Highly recommend The Rec!

Worst experience I've ever had in a bowling alley. Me and my family were on a road trip and decided…read moreto stop in to stretch our legs and as soon as we walked in there was a horrible smell that practically burned my nose hairs. Then we had to wait 20 minutes just to get a lane even though there were plenty open. Once we finally got a lane we decided to get food and the manager was screaming at the employees calling them names and racial slurs. To top it all off I saw a mouse run right under the managers legs and he just brushed it off like it was nothing. We left after that and can guarantee that we will never be back.

This place offers at least one great escape room, and I'm eager to try the others. We booked them…read morefor a grownup birthday party. We provided the party room (the common room in an apartment complex) and they brought the puzzles, the props, the ambiance, and great show-runners. They totally transformed the common room into a magician's lair, with a nice story and a fun setup. The goal of the setup was to unlock six or so locks, which would allow the magician to escape the box of death. In order to unlock the six locks, we had to unravel about 20 puzzles, which I won't describe here because I don't want to spoil them. I appreciated, though, that the puzzles were all different kinds of puzzles, so everyone could find something they could contribute. The magician themed room was medium-hard. I am told they have some rooms that are easier and some rooms that are harder. We are looking forward to doing their more challenging room at some point in the future. I also appreciated that the people working the event stayed in character and provided a lot of good energy. We had about 20 people at the party, so they had to run the escape room two times. It took about 15 minutes between runs to reset the room. They packed up in half an hour and left the room in great shape. We couldn't be happier with this booking, and I am already fantasizing about booking them again for another room.

After about seven visits, we're basically getting in for free. With the pass, you get extra jumping hours. We bring our grip socks every time but they're always available to purchase at the front desk. They have a water bottle station, so bring a cup or a tumbler because jumping is exhausting work. There are couches for non-jumpers as well as concessions if you're feeling snacky. The music is kid friendly and fun. Really great environment that as an adult, I don't mind hanging out for a couple of hours while my kid gets all of her energy out.

She rode on her first carousel a…read moreweek before visiting here and she loved it so when my best friend mentioned that Salem had a carousel (why??) we decided to come check it out. The carousel is indoors so that's a nice perk when it's cold or rainy. It's a large carousel with different animals as well as some benches, and they're adding others soon--including a U of O themed duck. The rides are pretty inexpensive at $2 each; you'll buy tokens at the gift shop. (They only take cards with a minimum $5 purchase.) Alternatively, you can pay $15 for unlimited rides for the day. The gift shop has lots of stuff... except t-shirts, which they were out of the day we came in and that was a bummer since I'd wanted to get one for the little one. There are indoor toilets here (yay) and they have some vendors--at least, there as a cotton candy vendor here when we visited. They also rent the space out and there was a nice private room off to the side of the carousel. There's lots of parking here since it's part of the overall Riverfront Park.

The carousel is beautiful but the service at the store leaves a bit to be desired and at $2 a ride,…read moreit's a little pricey. When I walked in, the cashier promptly stood up, but I was trying to pull up the photo of my berry pass so I waited off to the side. A woman paid and I overheard the cashier mention that she needs the physical berry pass so I scooted behind the person who was in line next since I no longer had to find the photo on my phone. The people who came into the shop created a fork in the line, so I let them go in front of me because I was the one who caused the confusion. After they paid, the cashier would not accept that I was waiting in line, however, the woman she tried to help told me to go. The cashier scoffed when I came up to the counter. Then she was very abrupt with my sale, and as I was leaving I heard her tell the woman who let me go, "that was very kind of you." I turned around and said, "I've literally been waiting in line" to which the woman said, "I know you have." but the cashier wouldn't even look at me. It was not a great experience for me. Thankfully my daughter was oblivious to the encounter and enjoyed the ride itself.

There are two fields to play in. One is a speed ball field that is just inflatables, lots of open area. The other field is a wooded area that offers a wood tank, a fort, a Log fort, a 1950's Car, a huge metal pipe and bunkers. The field is border with netting to protect people not playing from getting it. There is a lot of cover and concealment. There is a staging area with table and the shop/store. The shop is just a wooden shed but that is where you check in, fill air, buy paint or snakes. They offer rental guns, masks, and protective vest. Their equipment is quite nice and kept in good order. There prices are pretty good, better than other fields. If you paid for all day air they will remind you to fill before the start of every game. You have to sign a waiver but the nice thing is you can do it online. Game play is run by at least two referees, they control the games really well. They wear bright clothing so you see them and they are fair. They call out player that have been hit and just to see if player have been hit. They use whistles to let everyone know the start and end of games. They run several types of games. I use a fake bomb that must be disarmed. Looks like real and has a countdown, if you don't disarm in time it blows up (sounds an alarm). There is two way to disarm one buy pressing a button to 60 sec or pull one of four plugs. If you pull the wrong plug you blow up. Overall this place is great and I would come back. CON is the bathroom. It's a long walk down a steep hill. You have to use the camps bathroom. The bathroom is nice but I rather have a port a potty they have to make that walk again.
