1 / 3Waveland Bowl
📍 North Center, IL
Family-friendly bowling center offering general bowling, cosmic bowling with black lights and music, arcade games, billiards, and surprisingly good food options.
Went for a work outing. There was a big parking lot so was nice not having to look for parking. Inside there was plenty of lanes, a space with pool tables and games. We ordered a dozen pizzas and to my surprise the pizza was very good. There was alcohol for those who like to drink while they bowl. Everyone had so much fun and overall was a great experience. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good bowling alley to have some fun whether with family, friends or a date!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
This bowling alley works well for families with kids of all ages, offering a clean environment with surprisingly good food at reasonable prices. Best visited during daytime or early evening to avoid long waits and potential issues with unsupervised groups. The combination of bowling, arcade games, and quality dining makes it a solid choice for birthday parties or casual family outings.

“Came to take my son bowling for his 7th birthday and while we were waiting we decided to grab a bite to eat. My wife & I had the Grilled chicken sandwich combo w/fries & a drink. My son had the Alley Dog & my daughter had a cheese pizza (7”). I was VERY surprised at how good the food was and the prices were not bad at all. Besides the bowling the food was probably my favorite part of the afternoon lol”

“The few times I’ve been it has been a good experience. Staff has been friendly, the space is clean, always kids around so it’s family friendly, and the food is GREAT and reasonably priced. I also appreciate that the screens tell you how much time you have left in your game.”
