Glowing Greens: Blacklight Mini Golf, Escape Rooms and Axe Throwing in Downtown Portland

ByDill Ward

Looking for a fun indoor activity in Portland? Glowing Greens is one of downtown’s best kept secrets. It packs blacklight mini golf, escape rooms and axe throwing under one roof, one block from Pioneer Square.

What you will find inside

  • Blacklight mini golf: a 13 hole, 3D adventure course where everything glows
  • Escape rooms: fully immersive, multi room games for friends, families and teams
  • Wicked Axe Throwing: lanes for first timers and pros
  • Party room and bar: a private space for birthdays, team events and group nights out

Meet the family behind it

Dill Ward stopped in to chat with owner Raymond Lataki, whose family has been creating entertainment in Portland for over 20 years. It started with the 13th Door Haunted House and grew into a year round adventure space built to spark joy for all ages. From the glowing artwork to the detailed escape rooms, every detail is built with intention.
