“Good place for kids and adults if you would like to bowl. The only bad thing about this area is that it’s usually very busy select times of the day.”

“This is a fun place to go of you want something different. It is a little different that normal bowling, and the balls are a lot smaller, but it is still a lot of fun. Pretty easy to play.”
