What an amazing place! I have been there twice once for entertainment and once for bowling with the pros. My boyfriend had a tournament with the pros. We got to meet some big names and got a bowling pin signed from some of the pros such as Chris Vie, Kyle Troup. Would definitely go back again just for fun!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A solid choice for families with children aged 5 and up who want a big-venue bowling experience with arcade extras. The sheer lane volume means waits are rare even on weekends. Families should that the venue operates with security screening at entry, which is standard for this size of facility.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

⏰The pro shop stocks shoes and equipment; rental shoes are available at the lanes
🎟️Arrive ready for a brief security screening at entry β€” it moves quickly

β€œReally expensive and not worth the price. The employees at the front desk are really rude and don’t make the experience pleasant. It’s also not really fun walking into a place with security and metal detectors. All around just a terrible bowling alley. I do not understand how places like this stay open. It’s really dirty and the bathrooms are gross as well.. just all around a crappy experience and I wouldn’t recommend this as even a last resort”
