Northern Lights Recreation
đ Harbor Springs, MI
Northern Lights Recreation combines bowling, laser tag, mini golf, Valo Arena, Krazy Darts, and an arcade with digital ticket tracking. Fully renovated in 2025 under new ownership. Food served via Louie's Sports Bar & Grill and Rocky's Beer Garden.
Super cool place to hang out, even if you have the kids with you. Plenty for them to do as kids, and even more to do as adults.
đ Family Action Verdict
Works well for families where parents want food and drinks close by the kids' attractions. Laser tag and Valo Arena suit ages 7 and up; the arcade's digital ticket system means no lost paper tickets. Mini golf in the beer garden area is accessible to younger children. Best visited mid-week for shorter wait times on bowling lanes.
