1 / 3Showplace Entertainment Center
📍 Staten Island, NY
Staten Island bowling center with modern lanes and good food options. Equipment issues with kids' bumpers and arcade games make it better suited for families with older children.
A very modern bowling alley with several different "styles" of bowling. Traditional bowling is still available but called "bowling plus" and provides more statistics for each player from both a frame and game level. Pizza is pretty good too. Definitely will be bringing the family back!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best suited for families with older kids who don't need bumpers, as the modern bowling features are impressive when working properly. The venue excels at private parties and has good food, but frequent equipment issues make it risky for younger children or arcade-focused visits. Consider calling ahead to check if kids' bumpers are functioning.

“I bought $80 worth of coins for the arcade for my grandchildren 95% of the arcade did not work there were no signs saying out of order the lovely young lady kept apologizing for the inconvenience I will probably never go back there but I still have $70 worth of coins I felt bad for the grandchildren I probably won't take them there for food bowling and arcade the food was good bowling was good for them I had 18 people with me”

“It was Ok... was hard to find the right balls, the Lanes / bumbers for kids were not functioning properly. Not all pins came up every other time. So the place is a bit dated and needs a refresher. We still had a nice time with our company.”
