It’s time for another holiday! That means a long weekend and hopefully, some fun adventures with friends and family. Of course, trying to figure out exactly what that entails can provide a challenge of its own.

Everyone has a different idea of what’s fun; deciding on an activity can be doubly hard if you have children.

  • What kind of activities will be equally enjoyed by both adults and children?
  • Is there a place that’s perfect for people of all ages?
  • Somewhere you could bring a group of adults, teens, or children to?
  • Or even a whole family?

Fortunately for fun-seekers in the Portland, Vancouver and Wilsonville area, there’s Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center. Perfect for families and groups of all ages, this location is packed with adventure.

Here are just a few things you’ll enjoy during your visit there over the upcoming long weekend:

Rides

Everyone, no matter their age, enjoys a fun amusement park ride, and Family Fun Center has plenty.

If the Labor Day weekend proves to be a hot one, cool down by hopping into one of the center’s bumper boats and trading shots from the built-in water guns.

If you have a competitive streak, try to outrace your friends and family in a speedy Go Kart race.

Family Fun Center also features the XD Dark Ride, an interactive movie experience that places you right in the action using motion and cutting edge special effects. Using a laser pistol, you’ll score points and compete with your friends.

For even further excitement, try the Soaring Eagle Zip Line; you’ll be lifted backward into the air to a height of 75 feet and then whiz down at up to 25 miles per hour.

Play Games

If you’re still looking to indulge your competitive nature, how about challenging your family and friends to a few games? Try your hand at games of skill and chances or earn tickets to put toward fun prizes that you can take home.

Family Fun Center has a huge selection of video games for you and your friends to play; get an Indoor Pass for hours of entertainment.

If you’re looking to try something a little more active, the center also has miniature golf, an epic laser tag arena called LazerXtreme, and batting cages. Challenge your friends and family to one game, or all of them!

For the true adrenaline junkies in the group, there’s a rock wall for climbing and even the Sky Trail: an obstacle course 20 feet above the ground. You’ll face four different obstacles all while trying not to fall.

Fun For Kids

For a family adventure, you’ll have a hard time beating Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center; as a matter of fact, it’s the perfect place to bring children ages three and up. While younger kids can of course join you in a round of mini-golf or an arcade experience, they’ll also be able to take advantage of the Kidopolis Playland; an indoor soft play area where they can jump, swing, climb, and slide safely while you watch them from the comfort of the parents’ seating area.

Relax and make use of the center’s free wifi while your children of all ages are having the time of their lives!

Get a Bite to Eat (and Maybe Adult Drinks, Too)

When you’re off on an adventure for a holiday weekend, the last thing you want to do is stress about your meals. That’s what makes Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center a perfect holiday getaway. It’s an all-inclusive destination where you can head for fun, and then relax and enjoy a slice of pizza at the restaurant.

Not a fan of pepperoni? There are options for everyone: try a BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple and red onions or a meat lovers pizza with Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, and bacon. You can even build your own pizza and pick and choose whatever toppings you prefer.

In addition to pizza, Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center offers delicious sandwiches like the Grilled Chicken Ciabatta and the Turkey Bacon Club. Or, you can enjoy a BBQ Chicken Wrap or a Sourdough Cheeseburger.

For the kids, there’s Mac and Cheese or Chicken Nuggets, making this the perfect spot not just to play, but to eat as well.

And for those in the group who are 21 and older, we also offer a great selection of wine and 13 different beers, including local microbrews and popular seasonal choices, meaning that the adults in your group can add on some needed fun and relaxation, too.

Save Money

While a holiday outing with your friends or family is a priceless experience, it doesn’t have to break the bank. At Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center, we provide the perfect place to give everyone an amazing experience without spending a lot; simply invest in one of the different passes the center offers.

The best value is the Extreme Pass; offered every single day, it will allow you to take advantage of unlimited Go Karts, Lazer Tag, Sky Trail Ropes, Miniature Golf, and Bumper Boats.

For an addition $6 per person, you’ll also receive unlimited access to the XD Dark Ride and Soaring Eagle Zip Line.

If you’re just coming in for the evening, you can save some money by grabbing a Twilight Pass and enjoying our space from 8pm till close on Friday and Saturday, or 6pm to close from Sunday to Thursday.

If you want to stay indoors the whole time, then grab the indoor-only pass; perfect if you only want to play a few rounds of Lazer Tag or hop on the XD Dark Ride.

For small children, there’s the Passenger Pass; they can ride with a paying adult on the Go Karts and Bumper Boats, and spend as much time as they’d like in the center’s Kidopolis Playland.

Come Back For a Party

Of course, Bullwinkle’s & The Family Fun Center is a lot more than just an evening getaway. It’s also an ideal spot for birthday parties, corporate events, graduation celebrations, and everything in between.

You’ll be able to book a table space at Bullwinkle’s Restaurant, giving your group a spot to hang out and enjoy pizza – which is included with the cost of a reservation – and then head out to play games and jump on some rides, too!
