Alley Cats Entertainment - A stuffed elephant that I won - Laser Tag Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I had a terrible experience at this Alleycats location with the manager and one of their employees. My nephew wanted to go rock climbing and after my sister signed their form my nephew was standing near the rock wall ready to be harnessed when their employee, who already seemed to be in a bad mood since we asked to use the rock wall given it was pretty slow that afternoon (at around 5-5:30 ish), came over and pushed him away from the wall even though my nephew wasn't doing anything. He only apologized once my sister told him not to touch my nephew and that he is disabled (autism) but he never tried to apologize until my sister confronted him. My nephew still wanted to climb as he wasn't aware what that man did to him was unjustified and wrong. My sister went to the manager and explained the situation but the manager (picture below: woman with short black hair and glasses) said that she was watching everything and began saying it was a parents responsibility to watch over ones child, my sister agreed with that and said that either way the man had no reason to push my nephew and that the correct response would've been to talk with her about it. The manager insisted their employee did nothing wrong. My sister recorded everything and told the manager this and also told her she wanted a refund. We went to the front desk and the manager came back with a completely different story now, she said that she spoke with her employee and that he said he never pushed my nephew. My sister then reminded her that she said she had been watching everything. She is a liar who didn't bother looking at the security cameras after my sister asked her to. She never bothered with any kind of apology even though her later statements imply she wasn't present at the time of the incident and she wasn't even sure about what had happened. This was overall a terrible experience that could've been resolved had the manager taken some responsibility and had not tried to justify the actions of a grown man towards a child with autism. This goes to show that they do not care for any child disabled or not. They don't train their employees to handle children with care and respect that they deserve. The employee didn't even know how to properly harness my nephew who despite all his excitement was standing still, he had to ask my sister to help him. From the manager to the red head employee, all of them handled this wrong and I will never come back. I hope everyone is careful with their children in their care given the manager was willing to defend a man who's first instinct is to push a child instead of talking to a parent. My sister was right next to my nephew when everything happened, I was sitting right there too and my nephew's only emotion was excitement even after he was pushed. Do better ALLEYCATS and employ better people for the safety of children. read more

Alley Cats Entertainment - Manager of Alley Cats in Arlington,TX Woman with short black hair and glasses - Laser Tag Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Fun place, this is solely for the mini golf it is the most basic mini golf set up. No fun hazards or obstacles. Just barriers and greens. Hit it straight and can get a hole in one. It was kept well. The rest of the place looked fun. read more

First time here. There were parts I liked, and there were parts I did not like. I like that they had coupons online and at the service desk to help save money on the experience. There was a deal to get a large one, topping pizza and a pitcher of soda, and up to 6 people could bowl for a total of $60. That was a really good deal! I also like the size of their entrees. The pizza was really large. I got an order of nachos with cheese and pickled jalapenos. It was also a good size, and they were not stingy with the jalapenos for the price that I paid. It was a good value. I was a little disappointed because, originally, I wanted the jalapeno poppers, but they did not have any, even though it was like 3 o'clock on a Saturday. When we went bowling, I also liked that they had a decent amount of seating. Sometimes, when you go to bowling alleys , it is super tight if you have a large party. What I didn't like: I found a coupon online on Alley cays website. It said that you could play all you wanted in the arcade for like $25. But when I tried to redeem that coupon, I was advised that I could not use it in the main alley cat area that I could only use it at their putt putt area which was a completely separate building. I don't know why the advertisement was on the Alley cats website. It felt very deceiving, and I had to go multiple places for someone to finally tell me that I could not use the coupon. The other thing that I wasn't super impressed about is that if you wanted to buy tokens with your credit card, you were limited on how much you could spend on the machine. But it was their loss because I was gonna spend $50 but I only spent $30 because of that limitation. Would I go back? Maybe, but it would not be the first option out of all the other entertainment businesses that are out there. read more

Alley Cats Entertainment - Bowling Alley - Laser Tag Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Bowling and putt putt are reasonable but the arcade is a rip off. No way to win some of the games.

Took our son to play games today. We got a card and started playing. It was easy to get tokens and the games were fun. After we were done playing we checked out and got prizes and they were very helpful to my son while he picked his prizes out. They have bowling on site too so we will be back soon to bowl. Parking was good with lots of spots available. Bathrooms were clean. read more

I spent three hours there today with my kids and they had an absolute amazing time! It was a much needed family outing and it was clean - not busy and the staff was so nice and friendly. Their pricing is much better then the hurst location which is odd but okay by me! My son had such a great time with Putt putt and the smile on his face is all that mattered ! My two teenage daughters also had a great time and the feeling was great that they did! Thanks for the entertainment! read more

Recently attended a birthday party at Alley Cats. We drove from San Antonio and arrived ahead of the party attendees so I ordered 2 things we had ordered previously and really enjoyed (fried pickles and cheese fries). I hosted two of my daughters birthday parties here about 7-8 years ago...we loved it. This was my nieces second party here. And a plethora of friends and coworkers had thrown parties here as well since our initial party. The experience this time was completely off. The fired pickles were old and overly fried to the point they were burnt. The pickle was so dry it looked like plastic when I tried to pull one apart. The cheese fries had bacon and chorizo...I get bacon but chorizo?!? The pizza sat boxed up in the party room for at least 30 minutes prior to the attendees meeting in the party room. I know it was sitting there that long because I went into the room nearly 20 minutes prior to set up goody bags. Previously, the pizza was hot and fresh. The party hostess was very nice and helpful but the overall experience for me was subpar. read more

This place was very fun but the only problem is that the price is very expensive, it cost 70 dollars for only 2 people.

Had my child's birthday here. Typical bowling atmosphere. Loud and crowded but that was expected. Overall a fun time.

First things first PAPA BEAR IS AWESOME!!!! After having a not so great experience at another arcade/bowling establishment we decided to try Alley Cats. Now I would give it 5 stars, but the girls at the bowling counter didn't know how to charge us for the games. It took 2 of them to figure it out on a calculator and then the price was ASTRONOMICALLY HIGHER than anywhere we've bowled in Arlington MORE THAN DOUBLE TO BE EXACT (we had been doing nothing but bowling for 3 days) we asked why it was so high and we're rudely given the breakdown. We paid it, but good lord it was steep for only playing 3 games. Everywhere else it was usually around $50ish including shoes. But let's talk about PAPA BEAR man does he really know how to turn a night around!!! He had the best customer service! He genuinely looked like he was happy to do his job and we couldn't have been more happy to have him as our bartender. He is so kind and funny and boy can he mix a good drink. We talked about how great he was the whole ride home. Now if you could just tell your girls at the counter, and the police officer y'all had working that night that INTIMIDATION TACTICS don't work on people who have paid a pretty penny to bowl that would be GREAT!!!! They literally stood at the counter and glared at us until we finished our last game. Which I'll admit, it had us there a smidge after close, but y'all allowed us to pay for that time so we were going to finish what we paid for. We left immediately after we finished (about 10 minutes after close) if we could've been refunded for that time we would've gladly ended the game. Our intention was never to be there even 1 minute after close. BUT NONETHELESS PAPA BEAR WAS THE SHINING STAR THAT NIGHT!!!! That's why I'm leaving this review. Customer service like his is very hard to come by these days. He definitely made it easy to turn a blind eye to the few negatives we experienced and just be happy to bowl and drink a couple damn good drinks. THANK YOU PAPA BEAR!!!! WE HOPE YOU CAN SERVE US AGAIN SOMETIME!!!! read more

Our family had so much fun at the Alley Cats Entertainment Center!! It really has everything -- bowling alleys, laser tag, arcade, mini golf and go karts! We came on a weekday cause it was rainy and a bit chilly outside but had a ton of fun in the arcade. We had a range of ages from 2 years old to 32 and everyone was able to find something fun to play. We dropped a ton of money and got around 12K tickets.. the prizes all sucked but it was really more about spending time together. A handful of games were out of order but honestly wasn't too bad! read more

Went bowling and had a great time! I love supporting a family owned business but my biggest problem was their COVID practices. I didn't see ONE bowling ball get sanitized while I was there. Shouldn't that be a thing?! We were assigned our lane and the guy cleaned the couch and table but that was it. Not one bowling ball, which made me feel a little uncomfortable the whole time. I was constantly sanitizing my hands. They were assigning every other lane, which was nice and they had dividers up on some lanes, but not others...why not put them up on all the lanes?! It was just a little confusing. Also, $47 for one hour of bowling and one shoe rental?! When did bowling get so expensive? I was not prepared for the expensiveness...but maybe that is normal now *shrugs shoulders* read more

I'm only giving 4 stars STRICTLY on price and games being down.  Otherwise, I would give this place 5 stars.  The games were great, the bowling was fun, the laser tag was great, the mini-putt had so many options, and our family had a ton of fun.  However, it was at a hefty price tag. There was definitely a lot to do for the price, but it just seemed like EVERYTHING was really pricey. read more

As far as an entertainment venue this place hits the mark. If your on a budget, you may want to drive another five minutes to AMF lane. We payed close to $70 for an hour and half of bowling for 4, not including food and drink. The chips and Queso were pretty good and the Curly fries were decent. It IS a neat place and probably worth the price when all is said and done read more

Alley Cats Entertainment - Great late night vibe, even on a Sunday afternoon! - Laser Tag Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Great spot to get out of the sun in this Texas heat and enjoy a multitude of activities from bowling to laser tag to putt-putt to billiards and many arcade games. However it's not all great. The prices are outrageous for majority of things(FOOD!) and depending on what staff member you talk to depends on how much you will spend. Thankfully I was able to meet Dayton and he was able to point me in he right direction to how to spend my hard earned money efficiently(ASK ABOUT THE ALLEY CATS PASS). In all, I will continue to bring my family to this location over any other bowling alley due to the friendly environment and welcoming staff they employ. read more

This is a great play space to escape the Texas heat. The location is great. The Half Price Tuesday deal is awesome. With any play space, the machines have a mind of their own and we've had several of them not functioning correctly. Even with malfunctioning games the assistance is almost immediate and taken care of! read more

So much to do to keep entertained. Big, clean arcade, batting cages, putt putt, and more. They are a participant of kidsbowlfree. We decided to play the putt putt course. They have 3, but cost only covers 1 course of 18 holes. BRING MOSQUITO SPRAY. They will eat you alive. Plenty of shaded areas while playing. Concession is expensive...expect movies theater prices. We did not but anything, so bI can't comment on the food. read more

It's was a very nice experience at alley cats nice things to do for me and my family the food was great. We love bowling

Watch yourself here guys and girls we have adolescents and a little 20 year olds that seem to think they have way too much power at Alley Cats like to bully the little kids I brought nine of them there and spent you know $600 $700 and had a little man in a slightly bigger body than my 13 old son doing the bullying. When I complained to the manager,her only response was ok. So I guess bullying by the staff to other children is ok. read more

I can't tell you how kind and helpful the staff was! The folks at the food by the bowling were amazing as well as the info counter were accommodating, listened to our concerns, and even though they were tired, they were extremely pleasant and kind to our party. Will definitely come back! read more

It's pretty ok, nothing seriously fun. More for kids and families rather than teenagers and adults who go alone.

We came primarily to play mini-golf. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is falling apart. There were golf balls in the murky water features, broken light bulbs and railings rusting. There were people doing maintenance but the poor guy trying to work on the water stuff had a net with holes in it. We went inside to the smaller building next to the golf to play some games. The AC was out. There was a ceiling tile gone and water dripping in to buckets. There was a really musty smell which indicates that there is all sorts of moisture consistently. The floor was dirty. This place almost feels like there's no intention to keep it open as it clearly has not been maintained at all. They have redone the place in Hurst. Maybe they are out of cash to work on this one. I've had previously positive experiences with bowling in the other building. Today was just sad. read more

There are three golf courses here. There appears to be a new self storage under construction next door at the time of this review and some storm damage to the large waterfall feature on the course. The new construction appears to have had a leveling affect on the corses. As far as I know putt-putt courses are supposed to be level with only obvious hills and not invisible misalignments. This was happening on holes along the retaining wall of the property. This is either a feature or a bug depending on how you play it. I had some hole in ones accounting for the mislevel. We played two of the three courses. The landscaping is nice, but the management would be wise to vacuum the carpets more often or provide some carpet rakes at each hole because the pine leaves and twigs get all over the carpet. The bowling alleys have large tv's and party couches. The lanes played normal, but expect the lights to be set to black light instead of on. There are coca-cola freestyle machines and the drink cups allow for one free refill (chip reader). There are some billiards tables that can be rented out and two nice arcades and a rock climbing wall. The place does a decent job blending adult and family entertainment within the two buildings. But the place needs some repair on the golf courses. There are also two different arcades within the two buildings. read more

We came here on a Saturday night for my girls son's birthday, he had some friends with him and we decided to join. They defiantly have a good thing going here to hit some demographics. Pool tables and Bowling and a bar for the grown folks, and laser tag, putt putt and games for the kids. The prices for bowling need to be lowered or maybe 1/2 off during down time, I know I'm never in life paying $40 for one hour of bowling with shoes, even for the experience lol. But they had some tables all over and places to sit for the adults watching. I wouldn't necessary order the pizza it looked like card board to me. But we brought our own pizza from Dominos, had a cake and the boys had fun. read more

I am writing this review from the perspective of a parent who hosted her child's birthday party here rather than a casual visitor. I was very satisfied with how it went. I called to make the reservation, they asked some basic questions about what I wanted and took a $20 deposit via credit card. The party package included an hours use of a party room, one round of golf, a couple party games (think musical chairs & hot potato), a bunch of arcade game tokens for each child, discounts for future golf for each child + 4 free passes for the birthday family, sodas, ice cream, cake and one pizza. We brought our own cake so they gave us an extra set of tokens in recompense and we bought a couple extra pizzas. The base package was for 8 kids, you can pay extra for more kids. All the adults had sodas and ice cream too and they didn't charge us anything extra for that. Melissa the party captain was friendly and enthusiastic and did a good job keeping everything moving along. The party room was well decorated in a simple and non-pretentious manner. It wasn't fancy, but it worked. There was a cardboard crown and set of helium balloons for the birthday boy in his favorite color. The kids who lost each of the party games were given prizes, the winner got extra arcade tokens. They provided a storage locker for us to put the presents and extra food in while we were golfing and the kids were playing in the arcade. From my perspective, this was super duper easy. If I'd hosted the party myself it would have taken a lot of hours for shopping and cleaning and decorating and etc. but here they do all the work for you. And it was surprisingly inexpensive for what you get. Our price came to $141 plus the gratuity I gave Melissa for her excellent service. My honey was worried the party would end up being too juvenile for a 9 year old but it was pretty age appropriate. We were all happy with the result and the kids all had fun. The mini golf here isn't the fanciest I've seen but it's well maintained and does have some 'flavor decoration' (waterfalls, giant hippos, mushrooms and other sculptures). They play good music like Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd on the speakers outside :) The arcade on the inside also isn't the biggest or fanciest I've seen, but they've got a decent number of games that kept the kids busy for about an hour after they played mini-golf. I would recommend this Putt Putt as a good place to have a simple, fun, not too expensive or pretentious party. If you're looking to one-up the Joneses by having the most spectacular party ever, this probably isn't what you're looking for - but I'm not like that. If the kids have fun and it's easy, clean and well-run, that's all I need. read more

We came on a Saturday night and the putt putt courses weren't too busy. I'm guessing because of the heat.. but at night, it's not an issue. We ended up getting a 10 game pass for around the same price it was going to be for 4 of us to play one round. I guess that means we will be back! The course is pretty basic and a lot of the decor is broken down/needing repair. The holes are nothing intricate. Very basic putt putt experience. They have reasonably priced refreshments for when you need a snack or a drink. Looks like they have a TON of arcade games if you are into that. My husband really enjoyed the batting cages. They have different speeds you can try. Those are also pretty cheap and fun for sport lovers. All-in-all, a great place to go spend some family time, it just needs a little more TLC for the putt putt courses... read more

A lot of fun. We didn't bowl, but I'm recommending it. Mostly because there were big screens- a great deal of information overload, which adds to the atmosphere in a place like this. ADHD-folks, including myself, love places like this. Laser tag was fun, the video game selection was a little thin, but that's due to a lack of space. There is a lot crammed into this building. Take your kids and kill a couple of hours. It's worth the money. read more

It might be more expensive, but Malibu has more to do (4 Go Kart tracks, a carnival ride, arcade, a more innovative golf course and.... oh, a full bar). There is something to be said about being able to play miniature golf while drinking beer and that something is GREAT! :D read more

The customer service at the food station/counter was terrible. The young lady wore on her face that she did not want to be there. Wasn't engaging not one bit. I tip and everything no thank you or anything. Plus flavors of ice cream were listed that weren't even there. I pre-bought ice cream to get when I was done eating to come back to flavors that were listed and were there. I went back to ice the ice cream and she didn't have the flavor. She didn't ask if I wanted something else or did I want to get my money back. She just let me leave. That was not okay. Besides that, it was a pleasant place. read more

I was very disappointed with this establishment's safety measures or should I say there was not really any measures in place. All I seen were a few bottles of sanitizer around on tables. The governor's mask mandate has not officially began however there were so many inside without masks. There isn't even a sign on the door that says it's required so the reason people were not wearing masks. If you still are going to remain cautious about being around people without masks, this is not a place to go. Again disappointed in it being a family entertainment establish would not require masks and have more safety measures in place. read more
