What climbers say again and again
“The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated how much there was to do, from the arcade games to the more adventurous options.”
“But they were so outlandishly expensive that I limited myself for the first time in my life.”
“The atmosphere is fantastic, food is very good, reasonably priced, and if you don’t want to wait you can eat at the Bar too.”
From the reviews
This was our family's first time coming here and we had such a great time! We got here on a weekday in the afternoon and there was no wait to bowl. You rent a lane by the hour and each hour is $60. Shoe rentals are $3.95 but I felt like that was pretty reasonable for 4-6 people!
This place was amazing! Uncle Buck's Bowling Alley was worth the wait. Someone has an extensive imagination, this place was impressive. The prices weren't bad and the entertainment in addition to the bowling alley was great.
UPDSTE: DO NOT PLAY THE CLAW MACHINE GAMES!! THEY ARE RIGGED!! They are programmed to only firm the grip every (X) amount of swipes. They are pre-calibrated. By far the most expensive Arcadia venue you will find west of the Mississippi. They were thin on servers tonight.
I visited this spot recently and had a great time enjoying the variety of activities they have on offer. It’s a really fun environment, especially if you are looking to stay active or keep a group entertained for a few hours.
Birthday parties at Fun Mountain at Big Cedar Lodge
Fun Mountain at Big Cedar Lodge hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
