Putters Eugene

Great choice for activities with tween and teen boys! Before this weekend, I had heard of Putter's but had never been before. We live about 45 minutes away so it was a birthday for an 11 year old that drove us to take the special trip and try it out. First impressions from outside the venue aren't the best. It does kind of look like an old Kmart strip mall but the inside was a great surprise! We were there mainly for the laser tag and it was the first time for my son and both of his friends to give it a try (I haven't played since I was a kid myself). We were helped by 2 really nice employees, David and Isaac, and they got all 3 of the kids set up with accounts and in to the laser tag room within 15 minutes of our arrival. I didn't play but the boys loved it, shared that the equipment was easy to use and said they would totally come back again. Big win in this mom's book! The boys also played a round of pool in the pool room. It was great for them to have a space where their age didn't prevent them from playing and Putter's rents the table in 15 minute increments for super reasonable prices so it was easy to let them play a round between laser tag games. We didn't get the chance to play a round of mini golf or the arcade while we were there but they did look nice as an activity to try next time we are there. We did get the chance to try the food while we were there and I have to admit we weren't expecting much when we got in line. We were thinking the food would be something along the line of bowling alley food-gets the job done, but its usually greasy and overpriced. We were surprised to find that the food was really great though, the prices were reasonable and food tasted really good. I have to send a special nod to their mixed salad, which was extra great because you could tell the ingredients were really fresh and the restaurant ranch was extra yummy. Definitely a 5 star experience for my kids and for me and I would recommend this place for others for any special occasion or a fun family activity.
