Triple Play Family Fun Park
Triple Play is North Idaho's sprawling entertainment park, open since 2000, packing a large skill-game arcade, 20 bowling lanes with black-light nights, indoor and outdoor mini-golf (including a 9-hole black-light course), laser tag, and go-karts. There's a restaurant on site for pizza and burgers between activities. It's about 8 miles north of downtown Coeur d'Alene.
The story
Eight miles north of downtown Coeur d'Alene on Orchard Avenue in Hayden, Triple Play has been operating since 2000. It is a sprawling, multi-attraction complex built on the turn-of-the-millennium philosophy that no single room should ever be quiet or dimly lit without black lights involved.
The venue crams 20 bowling lanes, a 9-hole indoor black-light mini-golf course, an outdoor mini-golf layout, go-karts, laser tag, and a dense floor of ticket-dispensing skill arcade games into one contiguous footprint. Attached to an adjacent resort hotel and indoor water park, it functions as a self-contained ecosystem of mid-2000s family entertainment.
What it's like
Expect high sound levels, flashing ticket displays, and carpet patterned like deep space. The secret to a decent visit is timing: hit it on a quiet weeknight when the weekend birthday crowds disperse. You can play a round on the UV mini-golf course, roll a few black-light bowling frames, and grab a burger or pizza from the concessions grill without fighting for room at the counter.
The move: Go retro-meets-neon: a round of black-light mini-golf, then a couple of black-light bowling frames, settled with an arcade ticket showdown.
