1 / 2Arena Lanes
π Oak Lawn, IL
Family bowling center offering regular and mini bowling lanes, pool tables, arcade games, and comprehensive birthday party packages with dedicated party hosts.
Absolutely the best staff ever. My entire family was together for the first time since the pandemic. The staff made us feel like we were at home. I truly cannot believe how much fun we all had laughing together. The bowling alley was clean food hot plenty of good games. If you don't want to bowl you could play some pool or even some video slots. It's a great atmosphere no pressure no attitudes. Thanks again guys for making our day will be back.
π Family Action Verdict
Arena Lanes offers a classic family bowling experience with pool tables and arcade games that many families enjoy. However, multiple serious allegations of discriminatory treatment and poor customer service make this venue difficult to recommend confidently. Families should be aware of these concerning reports when deciding whether to visit.

βWent to bowl with a group of 4 , not to mention it's black history month there was an older black man who told us that he would add another game depending on time. We came around 8:50 the said they would be closing at 9. Our game ended around 9:18 we ask for another game "he said no" , "not going to happen". However there was a Caucasian couple next to us and he allowed to have a game. I politely brought this to his attention and he said we waited "too late" but this couple came in after us. NEVER AGAIN.β

βRacist and rude. I grew up and live in the area and I know for a fact that the prices the man at the desk gave werenβt accurate and the usually. Me and 1 other BLACK person (male) wanted to get a lane for an hour and he told us $80 for ONE lane for ONE hour for only TWO people. Also was very rude and clearly didnβt want us to bowl here. It took him a while to even address that we were standing there waiting.β
