    Smoky smell. $17 an hour for bowling. Wish the prices are lower. Lane had some issues... Attendant promptly fixed it. 3 star for pricing and smoky smell.

    Terrible. Smoking is right there and it isn’t closed off and was breathing cigarettes the entire time, my husband went in before me because I was in a store next-door and had already paid, if not we would’ve left

    Yes this is a cool place to bowl. The bowling machines are so original from back in the day. It’s a good place to visit and enjoy with some friends. You can order from the bar and watch some games on the screens also.

    Lakes Lanes is a true old-school bowling alley — nothing fancy, just great vibes, great people, and the sound of pins crashing. The staff are top-notch: friendly, quick to help, and they make everyone feel like a regular. The league bowlers are serious competitors but super welcoming — competitive without being intimidating. The place has that nostalgic, classic feel — wood lanes, neon signs, bar food that actually hits the spot, and a laid-back crowd that loves to bowl. It’s clean where it counts, the lanes are well maintained, and the prices are fair. If you’re looking for a flashy modern bowling lounge, this isn’t it — but if you love genuine atmosphere, friendly folks, and real bowling culture, Lakes Lanes in The Colony is the place.
