This place was very solid place for bowling. My group and I had a nice time for one hour and they made it easy to get a lane, shoes etc.

Ok. I enjoy this bowling alley but they really need new staff running the midnight bowling. There are multiple issues with how they handle this time. First we did not have colored pins until about 1030 which is do not understand. We went up to the counter and they are all playing poker.Next no one was calling out any money shots because again they still playing poker. They did not do the first wheel spin until 10:50. Then exactly an hour later they said we are no longer paying out money. A lot of bowlers were looking around like they had no idea there was money to win. It was a pretty big group of people. Lanes 11 thru 42 but some on 1 and 2 as well but none of the staff did anything to make this fun. It is not as fun as it used to be years ago. I hope the cameras are viewed to see the staff and the lack of caring. This all happened on 11/21/25.

Great place to take the whole family. Safe, clean, friendly staff. We've loved coming back every week over the last two summers.

We had the best time celebrating our child’s birthday. Our host, Brian, was absolutely top notch and made our experience incredible. His efforts allowed all of us to enjoy the party. We are so grateful to have had an awesome host. The 1/2 cake was huge and we had more than enough food to feed our large party. Highly recommend, especially for those hot summer birthdays!

A very nice place compared to the branch in Cary, a little more expensive and a little more outdated. There was no selection of balls. It was difficult for me to find which ball to play with... there were some errors in the results... for example, I dropped 9 pins, he calculated x, since the device itself clears the surface Faster than the Cary branch so we provided more games per hour Cost per hour for two participants $41 including shoe rental.
