    Location and employees were a 5 star experience however there was 1 employee I'd give a 1 star…read morereview if I could. This is the only place in town I've been able to find with a photo booth that has the outside camera on it. Really comes in handy with a big family. The employees at the prize booth area were also incredible and very fun to talk to. Sissy was also great. She was one of the lovely people holding down the buffet area and was so polite and attentive. She made sure everything was fresh and stocked and kept the whole section looking clean, which we really appreciated. Awesome service all around from that young lady along with her other buffet mates! Now this is where it goes south. At some point in the night we were about to ask someone if we could have cones for the ice cream but Sissy beat us to it and filled them right up. Not long after we heard her getting yelled at by another employee, maybe a manager or something, over refilling the cones. Again, the cones were fully refilled and many of us were already enjoying our ice cream. However this woman was yelling at her over it from probably 2 feet away in front of all the customers and employees around. At some point they said something about a walkie talkie being out of battery, which can happen to anyone. A bit later she comes back and comes at her again in the salad bar telling her she needs to be refilling everything faster. Everything looked pretty full apart from like the bread which came out like 1 minutes later. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or if that was her daily attitude but it was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. It was also really uncomfortable to witness for us and the kids. I never did get her name because she felt very unapproachable but we ended our visit on a pretty sour note because of her. I hope she's not like this with every employee, but she honestly shouldn't be like this with ANY employee regardless. Apart from her though this is a fun place to take the kids or yourselves. Edit: I think her name was Marney or Martha or something similar to those.

Otherwise, I usually find myself traveling going out of town to sing with my friends. This was my first time renting a room at the BLVD, but it was not the best experience. The Singa system that they use has a decent catalog of songs to choose from, but the ones that we were hoping for wasn't available. Additionally, the system lags when trying to queue a song. It messes up the tempo and the display of the lyrics for a song that's currently being played. The speakers sounded awful, so we had to take time out of our hour to have that checked out. The worker who fixed the speakers encouraged us to speak with the front desk, so we could get some time back for the maintenance. We were assured that we would get some time added, but that did not happen. We even double checked with the front before the original time expired. Afterwards, we waited for a while to see if it could still be resolved. My friend ended up speaking with the manager who explained to us that there were some technical issues on their end when they tried to add some time. I appreciate that the manager was transparent and asked us how she can improve our experience. While we could not be refunded, we received a gift card equal to the amount that we paid for our karaoke session. I'm hoping to come back to the BLVD for a better karaoke experience next time.

    I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback from my visit this evening. First and foremost, I…read morewant to recognize Alexis, who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, kind, and handled everything with such professionalism despite clearly being given a lot of responsibility. She truly stood out and made our experience better. I did notice that she was responsible for distributing food, handing out sodas and waters, and assisting guests all at once. It seemed like she was being pulled in many directions while other staff were not stepping in to support her. From a guest perspective, it felt like a missed opportunity -- not only for efficiency and service flow, but also for her personally. Alexis has the personality and skill set of a strong bartender, and it seemed like she wasn't being utilized in a way that allows her (or the business) to maximize her strengths or earning potential. She was essentially serving waters and sodas while having the ability to provide full bar service, which would benefit both her and the establishment. My intention in sharing this is truly positive. Alexis is a fantastic employee and clearly cares about the guests and the establishment. Supporting team members like her and ensuring responsibilities are balanced among staff would likely improve both customer experience and employee satisfaction. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate the effort that goes into running a busy place like yours and wanted to share feedback that I hope is helpful.

    To start off just wanted to say that my family and I ultimately did have fun. We had a great time…read moreand for the price it was worth it. We visited on a Sunday night. Place was not busy at all and there seemed to be 2 bartenders, two staff members, and one manger working. There are a few things I think would really help the business improve: To start off the customer service is below par, you don't get greeted or talked to unless you start the conversation off first. During our entire visit about 2.5 hours no one came and checked on us or ask us anything. Bartender was the only staff member who wore a smile and was extremely friendly throughout the visit. I would say some table touches by management or maybe having one person on the floor talking to people could not only generate more money but also better experiences. Usually I'm not the type to need most interactions when going places but this place definitely lacked it by a lot. Concerning the overall cleanliness of the building it also could have been a lot better. Restrooms were fairly clean but the tables themselves were very dirty as well as the booths. We had to ask twice for tables to be clean and ended up gathering them ourselves in order to sit down. The food was good though we ordered two pizzas some pitchers of soda and beer and some nachos. I do believe they should have a wider selection of food sold but I know most of the time that doesn't really fall on the management but more so the actual corporation. Price was also not too bad for food. For the actual bowling it was really fun I paid about $120 for about 7 people to bowl with shoes included apparently it was a special and you can bowl until they close. The equipment seemed really really old though I think this place is due for a remodel. The pins would fall on their own with no ball in sight, the balls would not go into the chute and instead roll back on the actual lane and get stuck and at times the whole system would just freeze and during those intense moments where we were trying to crown a winner the experience is just ruined. Overall the atmosphere was alright there were about 5 other family and they bunched us all up in the same booths instead of spreading everyone around to give people more space. The music was okay and the place didn't really scream fun. I think this place had lots of potential despite the age of the building by just tweaking a couple things which would make everyone's experience that much more enjoyable. Will I be back soon? Maybe not. Do I want to be back? Of course. Given there is basically no places in town like this I think this place has lots of room for improvement.

My children range from 2 to 13 years old, and every one of them had an amazing time. A special thank you to Joshua, who was walking around throughout the facility checking in with families and making sure everyone was doing okay. That level of customer service was really appreciated. He was professional, well-spoken, caring, and attentive. Employees like him truly make a difference in the experience. Thank you, Joshua, for helping make our visit such a positive one!

    What I really like was the price you could pay I believe it was about 20 bucks for an all day pass…read morefor your child and that includes the adults being able to come and sit and watch their kids play at no extra costs for the adult adults. The facilities were very clean from top to bottom. The bathrooms were so clean. You didn't have to put back on your shoes to go use them. They literally kept those restroom spotless to go along with the rest of the facility. It was very well kept for a children's play area. From the time you walked in, you knew you were gonna have fun. They had an area just for kids under the age of three and then they had the bigger areas for kids. A little bit older very great place a lot of different activities to do multiple levels of fun things from slides to soccer fields to giant Legos go karts and much much more to just climb on and walk across. I even got to have a little fun. Highly recommend this place very nice place
