Would have given another star but they need longer hours. It's not covid days anymore.

A little run down and the exterior is very worn. Still one of the best places to take your kids bowling!

If I could've given a Zero, I would have. Customer Service from the Young person there was Absolutely Freakin' Terrible! He addressed myself & group while sitting on the counter, and could not give us 2 lanes side by side as they were not full yet, and said it needed to be busier in order to give us 2 lanes together. However, if we went and got more business for him, then we could've got 2 lanes side by side. WTFlipWilson, we gotta get you business in order to get side by side lanes, You lost your Damnnnnnn Mind! Do not go here, that ruined our outing with the kids!

Safe and friendly environment. Felt clean and sanitized which is important with a bowling alley.

Feels like you’re stepping out of a time machine. Old style bowling, old machines. The house balls just seem like random balls left behind, but hey, it works.

This place was a really fun and cute little date spot! Everything is cash only though so keep that in mind if you would like to avoid the ATM fees. A couple of the arcade games were down when we went but it really did not damper our time. Between bowling, the games, and even mini golf, we honestly had a blast and will definitely be back!

Amazing retro feel. Ball size selection could be better for people who need lighter balls. Very affordable fun. Would definitely visit again if in the area!

Nice bowling alley, cheap games and some put put golf. Overall nice place however last time I went there the attendant was stoned, but I have no real problem and it is a generally nice alley

A fun place to go! There is quite a bit here to do. Bowling, putt putt, video games, ski ball, air hokey, billiards by the hour a bar, snack area. They packed a lot in this building for sure. I do wish at some point they would ypdate some of it though. I am 100% sure nothing has changed in 30 years when I went here as a kid.

Worst public bowling center we have ever visited. The rental shoes wouldn't slide at all! Surprised they aren't being sued for knee Injuies!

Super fun place to take kids for bumper bowling and put put golf.
They did a great job of disinfecting the equipment when we turned everything in!

Fun place to hang out in. It is really crowded in the weekend. So, if you want to go and play some bowling be ready to wait till your turn comes.

Came in at 5pm told me I couldn’t bowl because of league at 630pm. What an absolute joke, keep some lanes open for people who want to bowl. Not coming back here again

Best place to bowl in town if you want that classic bowling experience and if bowling isn't for you they got mini golf too! I highly recommend this place!

Birthday party for the 6 yr old. Bowled and putt putt for 6 less than 30.00. Kids had great time. Will do again.

This place has some of the rudest staff I’ve experienced. The bartender especially. She was rude to every customer I saw approach her. I wouldn’t come back based solely on the staffs attitude towards PAYING customers. Definitely not a place I’d ever bring kids to.

Good experience bowling, clean facilities, good atmosphere. Place is cash only, just a heads up! Great place for family fun, bowling, putt putt golf, some arcade and some food/drink!
