New redesign!
Andy B.

After some remodeling, I would be returning to this Waukegan bowling alley! Aside from passing by a sign or two of People's Choice Rocky's pizzeria now being a part of the establishment, I didn't expect what I just witnessed before my recent visit spotting the fresh recoat of paint. However my experiences were beyond more than a redesign as memories were created based on what we came to do and that was bowl. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, with the help of modern technology our games played pretty smooth making the bowling sessions without any hassle or problems! You can change the themes, add bumpers without having to ask, and play as much as you'd like. Adding in these options is what sticks this alley differently from the others I've been to this year. Which is why I'm giving Betrand Lanes their flowers. However despite this, I cannot help but feel as if it's a bit much of what it is which is a bowling alley, or if it's shy from being more. Yet at the end of the day this is a bowling spot and for what it is, is excellent! So it's 9/10- Excellent do not pass this place up!

Okay place but the nachos suck now and on top of that the guy who made them used the same gloves as he did to handle the cash. Gross

My guests were surprised to learn how nice the bowling alley is; the outside parking lot isn't the best.

I was here for a private event and everything went well. This location offers numerous activities:…read morewhirly ball, laser tag, and bowling. There are multiple floors - each including a full bar. The food here was OK. Our group was provided a taco bar and cookies for dessert. The tortillas were not great, the texture was off. Everything was served buffet style which led to hot items being cold. Unfortunately the cookies were rock hard. Could break a tooth rock hard. Overall this is a great place for activities. It's nice that they offer food and drinks, but I wouldn't come here hungry.

We hosted a large kids laser tag party here and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more Most of the laser tag vests were not functioning properly, and kids constantly had to come in and out of the game because their equipment stopped working mid-play. They really should not be hosting laser tag parties larger than 5 people with the current equipment situation. We were told they had 18 vests available, but only about 6-8 were actually working consistently at any given time. To their credit, they did extend the play time to try to accommodate the equipment issues. However, it didn't really solve the problem when so many kids still had long wait times and didn't get to participate fully. The staff member managing the event was defensive when concerns were raised and explained they were "in a transition stage" and expecting new equipment in July. She stated she was frustrated too, but we were the ones paying for a service/event that was not functioning as promised. I would not recommend this venue for a laser tag party until the equipment issues are fully resolved.

One if my best friend's son was leaving for the Army and wanted to go to his favorite bowling alley…read morefor his going away gathering. When we arrived majority of the lanes were occupied but we were able to get a lane pretty quickly. There is a bar located about 3/4 into the building and a food area at the end of the building next to the aracde. We ordered food: pizza, onion rings, and mac-n-cheese bites. The onion rings we crisp and the batter was not too think, it was just the right amount. The pizze was a thicker thin crust and tasted good. The pizza was tasty which can be hot or miss at a bowling alley. The night was really fun and I am excited about my friend's son and the next chapter of his life.

From the outside I didn't think much of the place until I went inside, where it bustling with…read moreactivities. I didn't catch the staff's name behind the counter, but he was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about his job. Professional or novice bowlers, it didn't matter. It seemed like he wanted us to have the best experience ever! I only meant to stay an hour, but our little entourage had so much fun bowling we actually stayed until closing! The next time we're in this neck of the woods we'll be sure to pay this bowling alley and second visit.

On the pricy side but when we miss Japan, we always come back. Keep kids happy with claw machine…read more 99 cent ice cream is a plus. They have bowling, pool table, kids zone, arcade, snacks, alcohol, and claw machine.

This place is cool! It's huge and so many different things to do from arcade games, bowling,…read morekaraoke, several claw machines, and a big jungle gym play area for toddlers and little kids. We threw our 5 year old's bday party here in the jungle gym area. We got the whole upstairs dining area to ourselves, which was awesome. Had about 25 guest and the dining area was nice and spacious. Our designated party planners were great, they did the best they could with what they got. A lot of back and forth with the drinks as they only give you one pitcher of water and 2 pitchers of pop. The drinks were unlimited with the party package but the kitchen was far from the play area so it took a while to get it refilled. The kids had a great time. Unlike other jungle gym places though , they didn't allow kids older than 12 to go up the slides and play areas. If your kid does get stuck then they said it was okay to go in there. They do kick you out after your allotted time. So if your party is only there for 3 hours, you have to vacate the party area after that. You can still go outside the kiddie area and press your luck to try to win a prize at the claw machines. They have lots of cute plushy items to choose from. It's kinda like a Dave N Busters but with way more stuff to do. Located inside Gurnee Mills Mall but they have their own entrance from the parking lot.

The manager took the table from us, while we were playing ping pong. Had to put out food on the chair - who does that?
