Well, I am not a bowler, but my friends are and they had a time of their lives.

Prices are very poor compared to other locations. Approach area is sticky so sliding is a no go, and the staff is generally rude. They refuse to give you any extra time to finish a near finished game, which I have never had a problem with at other bowling alleys, even when the lanes are empty. Bathrooms are pretty grungy too. Go to Texa Tonka or Flaherty’s if you actually care about bowling.

Overview

New Hope Bowl has served the Twin Cities for over 50 years, offering open bowling every day, organized leagues, and a dedicated children's birthday party program. The Italian Pie Shoppe inside the building handles food, with pizza as the go-to. Volleyball leagues run alongside bowling operations, adding variety for older kids and adults. Lane reservations are strongly recommended as availability fills regularly. The facility goes 21+ after, keeping earlier hours clearly family-oriented.
