Fun for Kids of All Ages
Looking for something fun for the kids to do on rainy afternoons or to keep them busy after dinner while the adults socialize? Local teens in the Villages of Mt Hood like to hang out at the Mountain View Video & Arcade. The “Black Light” Arcade is located at the back of the movie rental shop of the same name in Hoodland Park Plaza on Welches Road.
There are 16 games including a black light pool table, several black light video games, shooting games, pinball machines and touch screen games. All games cost only a quarter to play. And every kid’s favorite snacks, soda pop and candy, are available on premises. Or for a more substantial snack, there is Mogul Mountain Pizza right next door.
Kids (and adults) of all ages are welcome, however it is suggested that an adult accompany anyone under 12 years old. Gamers can access the game arcade through the movie rental shop, which provides constant supervision of who is coming and going.
