The summer is starting to wind down. The kids are back to school, and the fall is here with all of its activities and meetups and clubs and sports events and school plays and all the rainy weather we can handle. It’s easy for everyone to get lost in the shuffle going from one venue to another, remembering homework and instruments and science projects. Soon, it’ll almost be a miracle if your family can sit down to a meal at the same time. You may not want a whole day of activities, but it would be nice to relax together for a while, right?

The good news is that it’s easy to make time for some sweet memories at Bullwinkle’s Entertainment in Wilsonville. If your schedule is tight, we can accommodate your visit, whether you’re with us all day or just for an hour or two. Rain or shine, everyone in your family will find something they’ll enjoy here.

Here are five activities that every kid (and kid at heart) will love, plus one extra—the Soaring Eagle Zipline.

Soaring Eagle Zipline

Soaring Eagle is the next generation of zipline rides: an 800-foot, two-way thrill ride. You’ll soar up and backward 75 feet high to the top of the tower (are your palms getting sweaty yet?), then you’ll zip back down at speeds of up to 25 mph! It’s an exhilarating time, and riders will want to soar again and again. You’ll enjoy this experience in pairs of seats equipped with seat belts, allowing you to share the excitement with someone who likes fun as much as you do (and so there will be someone to hold your hand—if you need it).

Experience the joy of flying with this unique ride—you’ll treasure this memory for a long time after. If you’re not sure your little one is brave enough, here’s a little preview. The view is worth it! Flyers must be at least 48 inches tall to ride the zipline alone, or 42 inches to ride with a paid adult.

Arcade

Once you catch your breath again, come visit our arcade and test your video game abilities. We’ve collected a wide variety of games for your enjoyment. Some games are single-player; some are double-player. Go head to head with your family members to win the highest score, or compete against yourself. We have a vast assortment of over one hundred video and redemption games that are ready and waiting to challenge your gaming skills. When you’ve won them all, treat yourself to the Prize Center. Our arcade games include Wheel of Fortune, Deal or No Deal, Air Hockey, Star Wars Battle Pods, Crossy Road, NASCAR Racing, Wizard of Oz, and much more!

LazerXTreme

It’s not just laser tag—it’s LazerXTreme! Battle your opponents and compete for the highest score in this exciting obstacle-filled arena rife with music, fog, and strobe lights. Virtual reality comes to life for a fully immersive playtime—what’s real? Who knows! Can you win?

LazerXTreme isn’t just a ton of fun—it’s a safe way to play. Unlike paintball, there’s no impact when your opponent is hit with a pellet. It’s all done using light beams and targets on the gear, which trigger sounds and lights. This fully immersive playtime means that your kids will have fun without the dangers of physical contact with paint pellets. It’s also a great heart-pumping cardio workout for those who want to get their sweat on.

Mini-Golf

Miniature golf, one of our most popular attractions, is fun for all ages and open rain or shine. We have two beautifully landscaped courses that have 18 holes each with multiple obstacles and features, like bridges, creeks, miniature buildings, caves, and even a castle! Your friends and family members can increase hand-eye coordination, improve concentration, and enjoy family time all at once. If your kin are more competitive, break into teams and compete against each other for the lowest total score.

XD Dark Ride

Time for a movie, but not just any movie. Have you ever wanted to be an action movie star? Have you ever wanted to step into the movie itself? Now is your chance! Prepare yourself for an enthralling ride into the movie when you visit the XD Dark Ride, the extreme interactive movie experience. Compete against your friends for the highest score using laser blasters to battle on-screen enemies with intense motion, incredible 3D graphics, and amazing special effects. Become part of the movie; you’ll be inside the action!

Sky Trail Ropes Course

After that, grab your courage and climb the Sky Trail. This adrenaline-pumping, unorthodox ropes course is 20 feet above the ground. You’ll be suspended in midair as you test your fear of heights. Test your nerve and challenge your confidence as you maneuver through four different ropes obstacles. Don’t worry—guests are harnessed to ensure a fun and safe time. To further ensure safety, participants must be at least 48 inches tall and weigh less than 200 pounds.

With these six attractions waiting for you, how can you not have a blast? Remember, that’s not all we offer at Bullwinkle’s—there’s more! You can spend the day bowling, driving go karts, or playing at Kidopolis with the littles, and then have delicious food and drinks (and adult beverages for the young at heart) at our restaurant. All that activity will make you hungry, so come enjoy a bite to eat at our restaurant. Build your own pizza, enjoy sandwiches or burgers, choose mac & cheese or chicken nuggets off of the kids’ menu—there are plenty of choices for everyone.

Have a birthday coming up? We can help with that too. Visit our website for information about making this birthday the best one yet.
