About
Tukwila Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle's Restaurant has been a go-to family destination in the greater Seattle area for decades. Conveniently located near Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, the center packs an impressive lineup of attractions into one campus — making it an easy choice for birthday parties, family outings, or just a spontaneous fun day.
The activity lineup covers nearly every age. Go-karts are the star of the show, offering both single-seat and double-seat options so parents can ride with younger kids. Laser tag arenas provide team-based excitement for big kids and tweens who love competitive play.
Mini golf courses wind through whimsical obstacles and are gentle enough for toddlers to participate with a little help. Bumper boats bring splashing fun in warmer months, though fair warning — kids (and adults) often come back soaked.
Indoors, the sprawling arcade offers hundreds of games ranging from classic ticket-dispensers to modern racing simulators. Kids earn tickets redeemable for prizes at the prize counter, which adds an extra layer of motivation. The facility is large and well-maintained, with clean restrooms and stroller-friendly pathways throughout.
Bullwinkle's Restaurant makes the experience especially convenient for families. The on-site eatery serves pizza, burgers, pasta, and a dedicated kids menu, so there's no need to pack up and leave mid-afternoon when hunger strikes. The restaurant has a fun, casual atmosphere that matches the energy of the facility.
For families visiting from out of town or looking for a reliable rainy-day option (Seattle gets its share of those), Tukwila Family Fun Center delivers reliable fun regardless of weather. The combination of outdoor and indoor activities means you can fill half a day easily, and the proximity to Southcenter Mall adds shopping or dining flexibility if you want to extend the outing.
