Mt Hood Lanes — Local services in Gresham

I first went here last summer for Kids Bowl Free, and it was a blast. My child had a great time and kept wanting to go back over and over, and I rediscovered the fun of bowling. I might even buy some shoes and a ball of my own from the pro shop. The lanes are clean and well kept; nothing is breaking down or wearing out. Plenty of fun options for game overlays to amuse a kid, but with good controls at the lane so we could make the most of our time on lane. There is a small arcade with a handful of games, a claw machine, and 3/4th sized pool tables that a kid can reasonably use to have some more fun after bowling. For adults, it may help to know there is fry cook food served here, as well as adult beverages from a lounge. A pitcher to share made a certain grownups birthday even better earlier this year. I'll be going back, and I suggest you try these lanes out too.

Update: This is a great place to hold a birthday, my kid and their friends had a great time bowling and playing arcade games, while the staff was great with set up and takedown. Our party package included 2 hours of bowling on two lanes, with a pair of pizza and drinks. Had a...

My child is on a junior league on the weekends, and there is no direction or like signs they say what to do if you are new, what lane you play down... Alot of the kids on the league seem like they all mostly know each other already, and the newer kids feel 'leftout', also there are some children who are challenged/delayed mentally or medically, more than other kids on the teams, they are singled out, and kinda picked on...Also I think some of the delayed kids should have their own league to play on where the other teammates & parents know the child has some issues, or maybe when a new 'special', child comes on, the league should notify the parents, so they can speak to their child about the 'special friends", on the team that needs a friend & how they are different... Some of the current kids don't understand, so they look at those kids like a germ....The refs/volunteers are very nice... There isn't any organization for this...

This is a great place for birthday parties. My eldest daughter (9) wanted a bowling party (which seemed random for her), so we booked it here. They offer catering (mostly pizza, but it's good pizza) for it. It's really convenient and fun. It was about $75 for the all inclusive bowling for six, two pizzas, a pitcher of soda, and they gave her a bowling pin and a sharpie to have everyone there to sign their birthday wishes on, which she got to take home. My middle daughter (5) desperately wants a birthday party there, now.

The bowling here is pretty good, and they have frames to set the ball on and roll down for smaller bowlers who can't get it all the way down the lane (like my 2 year old). It's a solid place.

Also, beer selection is pretty decent, and reasonably priced....
