2. SuperPlay

If a combo party is what you're looking for, there's no better spot to find it than SuperPlay in Beaverton. Bowling. Laser Tag. Need we say more? Choose to play one or the other, or book a Deluxe Party Package ($199) and let the kids play both. Either way, they'll get their fill of active time on the lanes or chasing each other around the Laser Tag arena before settling in for pizza and cake. Arcade game cards and a sweet goodie bag are all part of the deal when you book a package here.
