Customer Reviews

These guys are absolutely amazing that work here! They are running doing 2 people jobs and still have a smile on their face! I wish I would have grabbed all names but Dalton was the one we catcher and from start to finish of our game he was amazing along with all the lovely ladies there helping us! ?? this was our first time and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a great Saturday night!

Tawnya, Ryan, Veronica, and the entire Silver Creek Lanes Staff, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for making my grandson's birthday party such a wonderful success. Life has been incredibly hectic with graduation and his birthday falling so close together, and I was in a real bind with last-minute planning. Silver Creek Lanes truly came through for us! It's clear that Tawnya and Ryan take immense pride in their establishment, and it absolutely shines through in every detail. The staff was excep

The employees were so welcoming and helpful. They were down a few lanes though and things seemed a little out of order after the holidays. The restaurant was out of several items and the portions were kinda sad. Love all the bowling game options, the arcade and the patio.

Pretty cool for being a small little place. Nice feel and vibe. Nice people.

Made appointment with the Pro Shop to get new ball drilled. Ball fits perfect, experience was good. Great service!

We booked Silver Creek Lanes for our NWDTL league once to twice a year for years. Very reliable, wonderful staff, affordable food, and an amazing atmosphere!

Beautiful 12-lane bowling alley, great food, beautiful back deck above the creek! A hidden gem!

Mike Greyna, pro shop owner is amazing. Thanks for all your help.

We are new to the area. I had seen the sign for this place and didn't think much of it. Then a couple months ago, I heard an interview with the owner on Oregon Public Broadcasting. She sounded so invested in this place that I decided to watch for it to get re-opened. Wow! I had no idea we had such a modern, snazzy bowling alley in our midst! My family of six made a reservation a few hours ahead of time through Facebook, and we had no trouble getting a time that worked for us. The staff was so helpful, pers

Came here on a whim to kill time and ended up eating. The food and milkshakes were delicious, the service was awesome and the lanes were up to date. We loved the back porch by the creek. Great experience

Cosmic Bowling was wonderful! I highly recommend coming here for a fun family night out. The food was good, we had some chicken strip baskets. chocolate Oreo milk shake was super good!!???? Everyone was very friendly and accommodating even though it was pretty busy. Thank you!

Fun atmosphere. $70 for 2 people for 2 hours; expensive. Food was fairly good.

Clean, great staff, safe and fun atmosphere and will definitely return!

As with most customer service places, people is the difference between regular, and memorable experiences. This place is a few notches above when rating the customer service oriented staff

So much fun bowling with the grandson. Bumpers come up for him and go down for the adults.

Went with a large group and had a blast!!! Very nice and up to date! Great vibe in there and the owners where super nice! Food was awesome and so was the full bar! We had no technical issues. Will definitely be back!!!

We came with 50 students and ordered 10 wood fired pizzas. They were very good, not a lot of toppings and a little high priced. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We all had a great day. I got some time to check out the outdoor patio and it's so nice! I can't wait to come back with friends and have some adult fun. Will be very nice in the summer, over looks Silver Creek.

Very fun vibe. Balls look like ?? and stripes and solds. Lots of playing options, and affordable food. Staff were quick to resolve the few minor issues we had.

Took my son here for a night out. Updated atmosphere, staff and food was good. Would recommend.

Highly recommend, great customer service. Incredible bowling experience. Awesome food, my new favorite bowling spot.

My wife and I Finally had a chance to check out Silver Creek Lanes last night and we had a blast! It's a well-kept, clean environment and the lanes themselves had some really cool projected graphic overlays that interacted with your ball as you threw it (I think this is only certain nights). I've never seen that before! Definitely added to the experience. All the staff, including the owner, were incredibly nice and welcoming. We enjoyed a few delicious drinks and a tasty pizza on their beautiful heated pati

Tasty burgers and milkshakes great customer service

Great place for date night, food was good, ordered the pizza. It was made to order a little too much sauce for my liking. Also silly mask restrictions require you to wear mask at all times. How are you suppose to eat drink and bowl.

I. Love. This. Place. Staff and owners are the friendliest people around and they're very charismatic. I don't come often, but when I do I make tons of memories and have a blast. The food here is great and the milkshakes are on a whole new level. Silver Creek Lanes better stick around, because this place is superior to nearly any bowling alley in Marion County!

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Food was good, but a bit pricey. Bowling was a lot of fun. Video games were about half out of order, but we weren't really there for the games.

Good place to have a good time

Great Lanes and awesome staff. The owners really care about their customers and are also very good bowlers. If you like to bowl and are in the area this is a must stop , also they have a awesome patio by the creek that runs threw Silverton.

had my daughters birthday here this year. ok prices, little high but small town so I kinda get it. great staff - nice back patio - decent food but nothing to get excited about , just your standard processed food food with not much flavor

We just had my daughter's 5th birthday here-- staff was super accommodating, patient and helpful. The kids had a wonderful time bowling and playing arcade games and the food was good. Would definitely use this venue again and would recommend to others! Thank You!

Pro shop personal wouldn't listen to my fianc? and I request and redrilled her ball his way messing up her grip and throwing. When asked if he can move the thumb hole a centimeter up he said he can't do it and has to redrill it all.

Wonderful staff good food and a fun time by all that attended the boneyard tournament.

Best bowling facility I have been to in several years! Lanes and equipment in excellent condition, a great menu of food and drinks. An unusual feature is their neat and serene deck where you can relax and enjoy peace and quiet. Wish it was in my town!

Super fun clean well kept family friendly place to bowl! Nice lanes, decent food, only issue is it's pretty spendy! For a large family like mine. 1 game cost us almost 100$. So unfortunately it's not something we can do regularly.

We had a great experience there for our son?s birthday party. The service was wonderful, the facility was nice and everyone had fun. It was a fair price for a fairly large group.

Great, friendly place. We love bringing our kids in to this fun atmosphere. Beer is cold, food is good, and the folks working there are friendly and seem to enjoy the place.

I am a bowler that rolls often. I compete in local tourneys and consider myself knowledgeable about the game. That said, this is the first bowling alley that I've seen that is exceptional. It is only 12 (14?) lanes wide but all everything was maintained, the design of the facility is bowlers first, and the service is just fantastic. Being from Portland this is a bit out of the way for me but well worth the trip! They have a deck for breaks that is gorgeous, easy parking, great food and I can't say enoug

We went for kids bowl free but the staff there informed us that they weren't participating until the owners got back. Super disappointing. There have been other days this summer they did not participate and the kids bowl free program did not send us vouchers for those days. I feel like this could have been prevented.

New shoes nice selection of balls had a great time! Will be back!

Had a great time. Quick service family friendly atmosphere. Good food and cold drinks. Not much more to ask for for.

Amazing as always! Tanya went above and beyond to help make my baby girls 18th birthday a birthday she will never forget.

Silver Creek Lanes is a family owned and operated bowling ally that is a staple for family fun in Silverton. Super friendly staff, great food and cosmic bowling!!! Need I say more. My husband and I really enjoy taking our little kiddos down for a game or two in the evening, or sneaking away for a date night. A+++ establishment, highly recommended ? Keep up the awesome work Tawnya and Ryan T Johnson

This bowling center is fantastic! The new updates To the center and new bowling options are fun and challenging. And the service is excellent! Definitely a place to bring the family and friends to have a great time. Prices are fair and food is great!

They are the Nicest people they helped us se started and we're made to feel at home had a great time ?? Thank you everyone We Highly recommend Silver Creek lanes?.

It was my first time going to Silver Creek Lanes. We had a blast last night! And the blonde guy with the goatee was amazing! Super nice, amazing multitasker, hard worker and he just cared. Thank you!

Great atmosphere Kids loved it and bowling ??.

This is a gem of a bowling alley. Very well kept up. The best place to have a new ball drilled. Ryan is the best and you will have your bowling ball professionally fitted. I had i new and 2 bowling balls filled, refitted and redrilled. Huge difference and no pain in my hand anymore. Average is going up because of it.

Such a great family owned establishment. Great atmosphere and wonderful people. Fun times every time.

Such nice people, good food, wonderful music and a good atmosphere to have a good time. Overall a great expiriernce! Making this a monthly trip!(:

I absolutely love this bowling alley, The owners are so nice and have always been there for my wife and two daughters. Very family oriented, great with kids, and even their family is nice and helpful, especially Tawnyas mom :) Thank you Tawnya and Ryan Zwicker -J. Moore

Ryan runs a great bowling center! It's not the largest place, but he won my business for sure. He not only did a fantastic job drilling my new spare ball, he "tweaked" the finger holes on my current strike ball. Between the two, I added 20 pins to my average in a week! Silver Creek has the only Specto lanes for hundreds of miles. I live 20 miles away and I gladly drive that far to use their center.

Clean with a nice staff, great atmosphere, but few technical issues. Just enjoy your time, know your pin might get stuck and you will have a fabulous family time.

Had my son's birthday here. Great time. The staff is nice and courteous and helpful. We'll be back.

Love this place. Their food menu has gotten an upgrade since the last time we were here as well.

Absolutely the best bowling alley we've ever been to! Excellent staff and a fun/friendly family environment that is second to none! LOVE this place:)

This is such a fun bowling alley. Nice folks and good equipment. Great family entertainment.

Super fun spot for our work group of friends! Hourly lane rental rate was very reasonable, staff is attentive and nice and alcoholic beverages were tasty!!

Silver creek lanes is amazing. The staff are polite and friendly. The lanes are fun yet challenging. They even have games you can play when bowling. Love this house.

Very nice family place.good.food,.the lighting effects on the bowling lanes are awesome!!!!! We had a blast at my grandson's birthday there today!!!!

This is a great place for teenagers to spend the afternoon if you have a little cash to spend. For one game, a large pizza, and for drinks, it was 40 plus dollars .

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
