“This place is a proper ten pin bowling alley. Unlike other places where bowling is a part of a mix of entertainment options, here it is all about bowling. The lanes are in excellent condition, staff are super friendly and the food is well priced and yum. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Very kids-friendly! The shoes were good and there were lots of games for kids to enjoy while waiting. They also have kids-size bowling shoes and helpful tools to make bowling easier for little ones. We had a great, fun day!”
