Honestly a pretty nostalgic feeling bowling alley. They got the bowling balls the lanes and the bowling shoes all ready to go. For the score keepers they feel very old fashioned too with the classic animations and sounds. Though while there is normal bowling point scores there is also other game modes too. Inside there there is also some kind of bar lounge

Excellent staff, clean and organized. Props to the cleaning guy who never stopped cleaning. He was also very helpful with everything and anything you needed. Our kids love bowling and their pricing is also reasonable! Highly recommend you try them out.

Good old-fashioned bowling alley, with an arcade area to help pass the time. Everything is clean, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Large free parking lot. Nice place to have a family gathering, team building event, birthday party, or simply to hang out with friends on a Friday night.

They have an arcade game section for customers to spend time while waiting. Some games are enjoyable. The price is high, but the experience is worth it. The lanes are clean and well maintained. The seating was clean and nice, but it caught me off guard at first because 2 lanes seating joined together unlike more modern bowling center where each lane has their own seating and table. It was quite awkward at first to be in another party’s space. The staff were helpful. I asked for a kid helper slide and they brought it to me quickly. Overall, the game for us was exciting and fun. The down side is the food and drinks. I believe the quality could be better. The peach green tea was too sweet, and the pretzel was plain. Their cheese sauce was too salty.
