    I had family come in from out of state we decided to go bowling. I looked up their website made sure everything looked good it did. They opened at 4pm we arrived at 4:15ish. We were informed that all lanes were going to be used by bowling leagues. When I checked online they said lanes were available. I wasn't impressed with how the staff handled the situation. 0/10 I wouldn't recommend.

    Love this place BUT. For someone bowling on a Friday night for MANY HOURS. They didn’t charge us to unlimited bowling for 18.99. Ended up spending $350.00 just on bowling. Not including drinks, food, etc. Ridiculous they didn’t give us the price they advertised for. Very disappointed and will be sharing this disappointment.

    I can’t say enough good things about this place. I took three of my grandkids there and the staff went above and beyond. From the front check in, the drinks and food and also the arcade. Each and everyone were so nice! I highly recommend this place for a fun family day or a party. The place was very clean and well managed. Thanks to all the staff and management for making a fun filled day for them. We will definitely be back soon.
