We thought we were going to a bowling alley but actually it was something different. We loved it! First time ever doing "duck' bowling. We will be going back. Great place for all ages. You only need your bowling shoes if you have them. No personal bowling balls needed.

A little hidden gem. Was definitely confused walking in... You do have to go down a LOT of stairs... Didn't appear to have an elevator, so I'm assuming not wheelchair accessible. Everything was very clean. Masks are worn at your own discretion. Pricing was fairly reasonable. I've never understood why you pay per person per game for bowling... You'd think if you're paying for the game then that would be it. Anyways, it was fairly clean. A little outdated... Should definitely invest in some newer equipment and they need a snack area. Overall my family enjoyed themselves.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We arrived after running a few mins behind our party’s time and the owner was extremely rude and threw deposit money in our party host’s face!!!! They said “Maybe next time you’ll learn to be on time” after throwing the deposit at her. The owner was called ahead of time to be informed we were a few mins behind so this behavior was surprising and disturbing to witness!!! We have never experienced such UNPROFESSIONAL AND AGGRESSIVE behavior from any establishment. This is not a place I would recommend to anyone especially people with children!!! This was a party for a 5 year old who was horrified after learning he is being unwelcomed and turned away for his first bowling birthday party. I would never want to spend my money with a business who is rude and disrespectful towards their customers and have a foul attitude and behavior. I would never want another individual or family to experience this negative attitude and behavior towards their guests. This is shameful and unacceptable!
