Sun Mountain Fun Center, Bend OR

Great experience at the go carts.
It was my son's first time. Those running the course were very kind and patient. Took the time to go over everything about the go carts with him.
Will be coming back soon.

This place sucks, they kicked me out of laser tag for doing nothing. Skye is the worst employee of all time. I hate this place.

I had heard some horror stories from my mom, but honestly, this place ain't bad. The garlic fries we ordered while bowling were a little lackluster, but I ain't losing sleep over it. It's not a bad place to hang out if you don't mind the cacophony of kids.

Was a lot of fun. They have an arcade, bowling, mini golf, bumper cars, batting cage and go carts were a blast!

We were there less then 15 minutes and my sister-in-law had her wallet stole right out of her purse and when we went to the staff about it they refused to do anything and brushed it under the rug I would not recommend going to this establishment enless you are willing to lose your stuff

Looked like the arcade was really popular, but the rest was run down: mini golf had standing water covered with algae on some holes, go karts are indefinitely shut down, and the bowling shut off mid-game.

The new renovations are great the new added games and virtual reality are so much fun. I love the virtual reality game with zombies was a blast. I've never done anything with virtual reality but it was so easy. A revised menu and drink selection was a really nice addition. So many activities to do here. The only 2 issues were the lack of employees available to help customers and the hours of operation are to short now. They used to be open till late on the weekends and open 7 days a week but now only open 5 days a week and hours are only till 8 p.m.
But otherwise walk in party events are ok but they do have birthday party packages for purchase to along with go carts and mini golf outside.
Lots of great memories here with the family and I highly recommend it even if this establishment has a high turnover rate.

See Belowfor my ADULT tip!

The Good- My partner and I come here once a month or so. We've got no kids, but it's a lot of fun here. We get some beers, shoot aliens, play air hockey. Nice to take your mind off things here. The kids will get enough tickets here to get some good loot unlike other places like this.

The Bad- Hope you're not hungry, as the prices for food don't make a lot of sense here, and it doesn't taste great. Plus, set-up is all wrong at register - see tip.

The Tip- Eat elsewhere first (if not with posse of kids), play games here after. Buy a card and put increments of $20 on it- won't have to wait to re-up, and $20 goes a long way. WHEN WAITING in line for drinks, food, beer, go to ANY cashier - trust me (they mean for you to do this).

*Kast's Adult Tip* - IF YOU ARE TIRED from wrangling kids, convince a child to play Typhoon (see photo) with you. You lay down and pretend the shaking is a massage while watching the nice images- surprisingly nice.

We dropped by for a round of miniature golf and were treated to 18 holes thereof. No waiting on a Thursday afternoon, the staff were friendly and efficient, the other putters on the course were chill, and a good time was had. The tastefully creative use of vintage farming and manufacturing equipment on the golf course was a nice touch as well.

Arcade games were lacking but the main attractions such as go carts and mini golf were very satisfying and fun. The only downside to this place really, Is that there were a lot of family's causing drama and it really disturbed the energy.

Fun little place - Shame things are closed for the season, Go Karts & Bumper cars. Otherwise it was good!

Go-karts, bumper cars, arcade games, laser tag, virtual reality games, batting cages, bowling, and beer for the adults. Has everything lots of fun

Update: they snazzed things up so much!
It used to look very dated & I legitimately wondered if they were going to make it out of the pandemic - but they updated things a lot & it is so much nicer now. They brought it into the decade!
They have a nice selection of games now (LOVE that they have Mario Kart haha) & their prizes are so much better than they were over the winter (last I checked you can get a switch lite now with enough tickets!) Hopefully they keep that up!:)

Business seems to be doing well so awesome! Ive know Sun Mountain since my childhood so I'm really happy to see that they might continue to stick around for the long haul
I think the only thing holding them back from being an amazing spot is just space - they are limited by building & lot size I think.

Old review Id say is still relevant but less jarring than it once was:

This place is fine for kids and they have cleaned it up quite a bit since the pandemic started. However, they really don't do a great job of cleaning their surfaces or bowling balls which is gross - but bowling is sort of gross by default. If you're not a germaphobe like me then it's not a problem - just not into sharing finger food in a spot with little care for cleanliness.

Horrible experience. Been here 4 or 5 times over my life and this most recent visit was horrible unfortunately. I know, how about tell someone if something is "closed" before they buy their package deal? The staff is a bunch of teens and there's no respect for adults while service is lacking. Especially for the price it was not worth it. Went there for go carts and were closed on a beautiful day! Better have plenty of time to be there also bc Lazer tag is every so often so you may have a wait.

Bowling alley with lane quirks.
Check.
Pool tables not level.
Check.
Gastro problematic food.
Check.
Miniature golf kinda eh.
Check.
Not expensive is why three stars.
