When you have kids your heart is divided between celebrating the New Year as a family and/or staying up late and creating a ruckus at midnight. If you’re trying to decide which way to go, we have a suggestion: do them both and do them close by at Mt Hood Lanes in Gresham.

From 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm lanes will rent at $75 (shoes included), for as many games as you want, with party favors and a mock countdown for your little ones at 8 pm. That will be followed by a Family Monte Carlo New Year, from 10 pm to 1:30 am, when lanes will rent at $175 for 3 games, with unlimited pizza, soda, and meatballs, champagne or sparkling cider at midnight, and hats and party favors. Does that sound like fun? Take a look at the details here and then call them to make a reservation.

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, and a safe and fun New Year’s Eve. We will “see you” again in 2018!
