"Such a fun and kid-friendly bowling experience! We visited this bowling alley during our summer camp, and it was an absolute hit with the kids! The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and truly knew how to keep the children engaged the entire time. From helping them choose the right balls to cheering them on, they made every child feel included and excited. The atmosphere was energetic and fun, and the lanes were well-prepared for young bowlers. The kids had a blast celebrating strikes, cheering for each other, and enjoying the whole experience from start to finish. This place made our field trip so special — safe, organized, and filled with joy. Highly recommended for group outings, camps, birthday parties, or just a fun day with kids!"

"Decent place for bowling games, facilities need serious maintenance even though staffs there keep fixing things around and offering help when needed. Price is reasonable, we have 6 people in total and get a $75 package for 1.5 hours unlimited play with free shoes rental. The place is crowded at weekends, come early to avoid crowds."

"We’ve been coming here for years and never had a problem till today. The middle-aged man with gray hair working the counter on 11/29/2025 had an attitude problem. He was barking orders to the staff and practically berating us for no reason. If you don’t like your job, then quit. Don’t take it out on your customers and staff."

"I love this bowling alley. I come here with my dad once in a while, and we never got dissapionted. There is a big range in sizes and wieghts, so everyone can find the right ball. I love the exitment, and no matter how many people there are, a lane is always free. the bowling shoes are also great, and even though the right size might feel a little uncomftable, you always get used to them quickly. I love this bowling alley, and I always come out happily(even if I lost)."

"Great price for bowling, it’s just $65 for 1.5 hours for 5-6 members. Food was decent. Place is quite old and the equipment is quite old but still good to play. Cocktail were not good, not worth the price. Ordered margaritas but don’t had any kick in it and the glass was garnished with Sugar instead of salt 🤦🏼‍♂️"
