Sun Mountain Fun Center

My coworkers and I come here every few months for a night out. We always bowl, order some food, and have beers. The food is always delicious and the service reasonable. Beer prices are moderate.

My girlfriend and I spent the first part of our anniversary night here. It was SO fun and we won a bunch of tickets. It was about to be ruined by some concession girls with attitudes, but was fully redeemed and made BETTER by a young woman behind the ticket redemption booth. Her name is Sierra and she was kind, generous, patient and fun! Thank you Sierra! What a fantastic employee to have on hand. Keep it up!

Great staff and place but could use more video games. Never overcrowded and the younger crew is very friendly. It seems alot of other family fun type company’s are ok with having their staff appear to be «bothered» when dealing with customers but I have never had an unwelcomed feeling at Family Fun Center.

A great staff makes a great environment for everyone! I’ve been coming here for the past year and it’s always a good time.

Sadly many of the games were out of order, and not all the features worked on the games.
When bowling the pins came off the lane in front of reset machine, the game hung up often and would not reset.
The place is clean but really worn out, and it shows.

They run a nice, clean operation for today’s youth to play games, bumper cars and miniature golf. You can get away with not spending as much as you think if you can convince your kids to not play the games as much. That said, they have every arcade game known to mankind. And the prizes, be still my heart, there’s not a single one that worth the amount of tickets it takes to get it. That said, the kids LOVE it. I feel so badly for the man behind the prize counter. All of those kids, looking, looking, looking, reevaluating their winning tickets and then looking, looking, looking.
When it’s all said in done, I’m okay with my 12 year old hanging out here early evening without supervision. Hanging with friends, not alone.
As for parents, stay away. Dreadful, all of it. The kids like it, that’s what counts. Be a reliable parent, drop off, pick up, be in contact via phone, etc.

What do you do in Bend at 9pm on a Sunday when you can’t possibly sample another craft beer? Easy: mini golf.
I make no secret of the fact that I am at once 1) obsessed with miniature golf and 2) profoundly disappointed in the current state of the industry. I am a man that craves elaborate holes featuring ridiculous obstacles, ideally with moving parts. I want to hit my ball across a moat and up a ramp through the castle’s gates. Well, I didn’t quite get my dream golf experience at Sun Mountain Fun Center, but it’s one of the better courses I’ve played in a quite some time, so they’ve earned the right to be graded on a curve.
They have one 18 hole course, none of it particularly difficult. However, it’s in great condition, the holes are unique enough to be interesting, and it’s well lit. In lieu of music, they seem to have attracted dozens of bullfrogs. It was ridiculously loud with froggy noises, and we loved it. This is an all-​around solid course.
Of course, they’ve got the batting cages and the go-​carts and the bowling and the arcade. We didn’t get to any of that. I did notice that everything center-​wide seemed to be working correctly and in good condition. The arcade had a lot of fun games that I’ll totally dominate the next time I come through town.
One last shout out goes to Ashley, the employee at the counter who served us up our clubs and balls. She’s a friendly girl who did her job well and with a sense of humor. I like her. Keep ahold of that one.

Great place to take the kids or a date for a good time however I have one giant elephant in the room when it comes to their Arcade. I am a huge Retro game Arcade fanatic however there is not one fighting game. Fighters are what made the Arcade hay day so incredibly successful for players of all ages. Sun Mountain, please understand if your Arcade is suffering there’s your biggest blunder of a problem. For a good solution Capcom and SNK both make cabinets that have tons of great games, fighter’s included all on one great machine. Please give us some Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom, Soul Caliber, Garou Mark of the wolves, Samurai Showdown ect please and thank you

I wish there was a better place for pool and bowling. The last two times we’ve gone, we’ve had a bad experience.
It’s that infernal wheel they spin on Cosmic Bowling nights. The first time, we all went to go watch our friend spin and they cleared our appetizer platter – half eaten from our table.
The second time, I was bowling in the 10^th frame and got the neon pin, so we all went to the wheel and they cleared our game, didn’t even get to finish my frame. (Not to mention the empty table beside us had food left on it the whole time we were there… not in the table busing mood that night I suppose)
Shaking it off, we went and played some games, and I hit a mini-​jackpot on a machine that dumps tokens down a chute and gives you 5 tickets per token. The tokens got hung up in the chute and only paid out 15 tickets (should have easily been 500). Oh well, not a big deal.
Management seemed apologetic but didn’t really do anything for us in any of the scenarios. So again, I wish there was a better place to bowl and shoot pool in Bend.

Every time we go here, we have a blast. The staff has always been awesome. I don’t know how they tolerate all the BS I see go on with customers, but every time I see a smile on their face and awesome service. The food isn’t the best, but it is a bowling alley so what do you expect? They have really done a great job upgrading their games as well. We will always be loyal customers. We truly have family fun when we are here.

Super fun, great games, they serve beer, my kids thought it was fantastic. next time we bowl!

Was awesome! My girlfriend and I played put put golf, got a free bowling game from Unilocal!:) and we raced on the go karts. Employees were awesome and the arcade was cool! We ended up giving our extra tickets to one of the kids :).

Called in advance to make sure the go karts would be open. On the phone they said yes, but when we got there they said they were closing early because they weren’t selling enough tickets. No accommodations for our group of 5 that wanted to do go karts. Poor customer service!

I found it a very fun place. I would go back but I kind of understand the bad reviews after reading some of them. We bowled and found that pins did fall down BUT that happens at all bowling alleys and really is only an issue if you are on a league. The only thing I found just a tad bit annoying is how some games took tokens and some took the card.
I think it was a reasonably priced place to spend time as a family and have fun, which is why you go to those kinds of places. Thanks for a fun day!

Nice building but the pins kept falling down and completely messing up the scores. Had to ask to switch lanes and still had the same problem. And it was a pain to get the staff to restart the game after we had switched lanes. Lava lanes is much better.

I came here with a friend since we were in the mood for mini golf and bowling. The bowling was cool and they also have billiard tables that you can reserve for hour blocks, the price overall was very reasonable and the area was somewhat clean. On the other hand, mini golfing wasn’t good at all. The artificial tarp that they use creates a lot of friction and there’s a ton of irregularity in the surface that it made things extremely hard to play on. The course themselves were also boring with little simple obstacles on the course. Also, there is only 1 course so if you’re behind a big family, you could be waiting for a while or else you just skip the hole and go to the next one. They also have go karts, batting cages and water ballon fights. Overall, it’s a cool place to pass time, but I been to better places for mini golfing like Boomers and Family Fun Center.

Lots of equipment wasn’t working properly.
Our bowling alley was bad: it would stop working. It would not place all the pins in place. Upon complaining, they credited us back for that game.
Arcade games: some of them take money and don’t work.
Go-​karting was of low quality, but probably for $ 7 I should not expect much.

You know what? This was a super good time!!!
Golf, bowling, beer, video games… AND they let us use our «super fly super pass» over two days so we could spread the love over Labor Day weekend. Super friendly, super speedy service… the fam could not have had a better time (other than the fact it had to end :-)

If you use Unilocal for their free game of bowling the entire staff is clueless to the deal. No one had any idea.

I’ve been bowling here a few times.
It is super GHETTO and pretty dirty but the staff is nice enough.
I’ve never done anything but bowl because it is a little expensive.
I’d rather go to Lava Lanes to bowl but Sun Mountain has longer hours so we usually end up here.
