Went here with my kids & husband on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. There were more people than there were things to do. People would park themselves on the arcade games so that no one outside their group could get a turn. Since several of the nicer arcade games were not working, that meant we had to wait for a looooong time to play the newer games. The staff called the laser tag waitlist out of order so people who signed up after us were let before us. This was our first time here so I had questions about how things worked and the staff seemed uninterested in answering those questions. They also seemed frazzled (I don't blame them) by the throngs of people and therefore unable to maintain order. The food & drinks are 100% junk food and of course one can't bring in outside food or drinks so you're stuck with their selections of sugar, corn syrup, grease, and more sugar & corn syrup. We spent nearly $100 for Bodacious passes, games that don't take passes, and junk food. I wouldn't go here again based on this experience, but my kids will surely talk me into it. read more

This rotting relic needs to be shut down for having one of the most dangerous laser tag arenas on the planet. This, plus other maintenance and customer service issues, show that the people in charge don't care at all about the building's safety or customers. The got rid of the $30 all day deal which was the only reason it was worth driving an hour out of the way to go to this derelict carcass of a venue. I've seen injuries every time I've been here it's a wonder they have been sued into oblivion yet. read more

Absolutely terrible. We spent 90$ to bowl all day and we only played 2 games before we were told we had to let other people play. Wtf was the point in getting there when you opened to make sure we could spend as much time as we wanted, with our 4 year old, just to spend the money to be told no. Definitely will never go back and never recommend! Worst bowling experience ever!! I want my money back. ​ read more

This place was state of the art when it was first built. And unfortunately, it just hasn't been kept up at all. The lanes are highly dysfunctional, and the furniture is so bulky that you don't have hardly any room if the lanes next to you are also occupied. Also, the furniture have holes in them or are kept together with duct tape. It would be nice, too, if the lights and video screens were on to give some extra entertainment and life to the place. But the food and beer selection is decent, and it's still a fun place to hang out and play a few games of bowling. read more

Every thing. Great service. Value for the money. My Grandchildren love this place. Food is so good. Very clean place.

Arcade was so fun! We played for like a hour there! I highly recommend the Tokyo drifting game. After that me and my family went to the laser tag arena! It's huge!! We didn't try food or any other stuff, but the whole place is so fun! And it's very reasonably priced. One word to describe it is "awesome" and the ambiance was very sci fi like read more

BO's Bodacious Family Entertainment - The arcade - Bowling Near Me - Lenoir, North Carolina

The putt putt course is the worst I have ever seen. They need to invest and repair this. Totally unkept, dirty and the turf is a joke, coming apart in many places. The water feature doesn't work but is a great mosquito pond. read more

Cheap family fun! Love it here the mini golf course definitely needs some work but that's okay because it is cheap!

Had a party for my niece there. The bowling alley is way too dark. Then I thought the arcade was gonna redeem the experience. I was wrong! Half the games don't work, half the games won't take the card they supply. Arcade and bowling needs an upgrade. Do better! read more

The "Unlimited card" is quite limited and should definitely be explained better and be clearer before purchasing. For some weird reason which is still a mystery to me and everyone in our 14 person group lazer tag was included but lazer maze wasn't. ‍. Then some games in the arcade are included but some aren't. There isn't any rhyme or reason. The fried pickles and fried jalapeño poppers were ok the pizza and wings were close to being inedible. read more

Cool best ya wtv So kool Why do I have to type it's kool This is lame asl Goofy mks Yea it's good read more

Staff doesn't know what their doing, never at their stations and one of the staff members decided to ruin our bowling game by instead of just grabbing a bowling ball that got stuck which was easily grabable he pushed it through when we was halfway through our game. The reason the ball got stuck was cause the bowling lane got stuck cause the machine malfunctioned because about 40% of the stuff here doesn't work. So many of the arcade games wasn't working at all or not working properly. Definitely will never be back and Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Had my son's party there Thursday and we had the best time. Our party host Elsie was amazing. She checked on us frequently and was so sweet. Just want the world to know our experience was just amazing. Will definitely be returning. read more

I was happy to learn that you can just stop in for lunch. The chicken Caesar wrap was fantastic! I'll definitely be there often. read more

The service is good, sometimes. The order is right, sometimes. The food is fresh, sometimes. Sometimes it tastes burnt. But I eat there at least once a week and have for years. It pretty much averages out. read more

OKAY THIS WAS A JOKE REVIEW AT FIRST BUT THIS PLACE JUST ACTUALLY OWNS OH MY GOD BAHAHAHAHA. okay continue on with the joke review: Bo's is everything it says it is. While the outside may look concerning, the inside is what matters. After all you know what they say, ugly people are cool most of the time. There is awesome mini golf and bowling and arcade games for a great price!!! If you chose to eat the food, that's on you. I don't know why you would have trusted food from this place in the first place. There is a place in there called Pirate's Cove that none of the workers know about. Sounds like some FNAF lore to me lol. Also if you see the big bo statue please leave him an offering of 10,000 tickets and right do not touch. I will pick it up so i can get the big plush tiger. Thank you. Have a bo's day. P.S. The lazer maze is pog. read more

Buyer Beware!! If I could give negative stars I would. My husband and son went to Bo's to go bowling!! They paid $15 for an unlimited pass and they had bowled one game after waiting over 1 hour for a lane!! When they were done with their first game, they were told they had to get back on the wait list before bowling again.  This was not specified when they bought their passes!!  And they will not be back!!  Do not waste your time at Bo's in Lenoir.  My husband did voice his concerns to the staff and nothing was done.  I have never seen or heard of such terrible customer service!! When I pay for unlimited anything from 5pm to 8pm, I should have the opportunity to get what I paid for. Sounds like Bo's is getting way too greedy!! read more

Great place for anyone at all ages highly recommend, staff was excellent and they made sure that we had a fun time!

Great place with tons of fun things to do! The staff and management is very friendly and their customer service is awesome. The prices are great for what all you get and the food is always delicious! I've never had a negative experience here! I come here all the time to bowl and play arcade games! read more

See all

Poorly staffed and managed!! Place is a circus!!! Good facility for family activities with reasonable pricing. Lots of potential if it were managed by mature competent adults who actually took pride in their jobs. My family of 7 went last night and took advantage of the all in 1 pass at $15 per person. We also dropped $80 on the snack bar. Which btw, 2 of my family members were throwing up last night and still this morning. Think it was the poppers or the ranch. The average age of staff member was maybe 17yrs old. I feel the level of service at BO's is reflective of this. We checked in to play laser tag and it took 1 hour and 20 min along with 3 trips to the desk asking how long. Each time I was told "20 min". When I contacted the manager (only staff member working who was over 25) the young kids running the laser tag area made excuses with apathetic attitude. As I watched from a distance, it seemed they were allowing their friends to jump ahead of paying customers. I also feel the younger patrons were not controlled in the facility and ran wildly unsupervised causing problems for those same paying customers who keep the lights on. Hey greedy owners of BO's...spend a little more money to hire mature and reliable long term staff and watch your ROI go through the roof. read more

Great way to spend some fun time with the family. Everything for bowling, arcade and putt putt. Only thing is that I wished it was a little brighter inside. It can hard to find your kid as they wiz through the games at Mach 4! Food is average but everything is pretty clean and well kept. read more

Let's just start from the beginning with this experience. We walk in, an being as if we have never been here before, we don't know what to do. There are desks in every direction but no workers. We go up to the one near the bowling, and wait for this young girl to finish up with customers. I aged during this process. It's finally my turn, I tell her Ive never been there before & what we wanted to do, and I don't think she had either from how she was explaining things to me. Finally we nail something down, and she rings me up. Phew... That was rough It's 28.50, I had her a 100.00 bill, and right after I found .50 in my pocket. I hand it to her... The look of profound confusion that came across her face was astonishing. I knew that things were gonna be interesting. Being that I am a mother, and a natural teacher by nature, I offered her some help, but didn't answer for her. I told her it would be to the nearest dollar. She became even more confused, and went lower, and asked me if it was 71.00. I told her no...*deer in headlights* I finally just had to tell her. It's 72.00! Then, O NO!! There were no dollars, so she had some other kid ring up someone else to get me 2 of the dollars that were in his hand. Keep in mind he had the exact amount of his transaction, and she had my 70.00 in her had BUT she still had me wait for him to ring everything up instead of giving me my 72.00. Then to top it all off this chick tried to hand me 71.50... Seriously babe come on!! I fear for our future. Anyways, we go to play the laser maze. It was fun, but some little girl and her idiot grandpa walked in being loud as hell so my six year old kept looking over, and hitting the lights. It also made the fog that allowed us to see the lights that the girl put in there so we could see them... It irritated me. I finally yelled and told her shut the curtain. We went and played arcade games, and that was actually pretty fun. Bathrooms were disgusting and smelled like potted meat, soy sauce, and expired canned tuna. I'm giving it two stars based on interaction with staff, value and the fact that no one should be that annoyed at a place where you should be having fun. read more

First of all.. VERY disappointed. Everything is too expensive. We bought the chicken strips, pizza and fries and we would rather have ate cat food. The guy that took our order was BEYOND rude. Just had a mask hanging off his ear?? I don't like to ask for my money back so we just wasted our food and threw it out. So I was out 45$ out from the start. And the "all access passes" are not all access at all they're only work on certain games. My niece was very sad that her card didn't work on the fun games which seemed like every game. which you have pay per machine 1$ or more to pay. Luckily I explained that we couldn't play anything , and I got my other 40$ back.... the bowling was OK. but lastly I do not recommend this "bo's bodacious booty" place to anyone. I had to stop and get my family food afterward bc no one ate there food. Just save your money. read more

Bo's Family Entertainment is fun for the whole family! Mini golf, bowling, food, laser tag, laser maze and a full arcade! You should definitely check this place out if you're looking for some family fun. It can get a bit expensive but if you go in with a certain amount to spend you should be fine. Great enviornment! read more

They haven't repaired in years and everything outside looks dilapidated and unappealing. I love air hockey and was sad to see that the tables were broken and not registering points. Once we started to bowl, my friend accidentally hit the ball stop on his last turn and the owner tried to tell him it would cost 250 to replace. Its a ball stop. If a ball isn't meant to be stopped by it, then why is it called that? Also, they were only 100 from what I could see online. Sadly, they have fallen out of my favor, and while I used to be excited to go, now I am excited to find myself leaving. Lousy staff, uncaring management, horrible owners and disgusting bathrooms. I just wish the Health department would shut this place down. read more

If you are looking for a place to have a birthday party, look no further. I would like to preface this review with the knowledge that I am one of the hardest people to please when it comes to restaurants and customer service. I had the best experience! All the employees were super friendly and helpful. Mariah was our party hostess and she was above excellent! We all know that children's birthday parties can be somewhat dull and not fun. I cannot say that for this birthday party. I had so much fun as an adult and I know that every one of the children had a great time! I feel that the pricing was reasonable and if anything extra was needed it was added at a reasonable price. I could not have had a better experience anywhere! Thank you Bo's!!! I'm one happy mama!! Bonnie S. read more

The place is a joke!The employee was VERY vague on just what your $18 "unlimited"pass gets you.Which after we paid the $$ for found out real quick wasn't much.Definatley not worth the price.If you are selling an "unlimited" pass that means it should include everything not certain things.. read more

At the present time I work with Bo's Bodacious Entertainment, I would have to say it is OK... While some workers do try and help the customers, many of them could care less and would rather let you wait around forever.... As for pricing, it is decently priced, however I would suggest eating elsewhere before coming to Bo's as food is overpriced (Ex. Pizza $10.66 - Bo's, $5 - Little Cesears) If you are looking for a job, I would NOT suggest Bo's because if you are not a "Popular person" you are left out and treated like crap.... I work there, and am rarely given notice on any event we are holding or if there is extra food, I rarely get invited to have any.... If you do have to speak to a manager, I would suggest asking for Leslie, Deb, or Douglas, or Spencer as they are the best, most Caring managers there. I am not saying the rest are bad, but some (one in particular) will shut you down and try and find every reason to get you in trouble.... Then there are the Party girls, there are some who really do enjoy there job, and want the best possible outcome for their party, but most could care less, and talk about their parties like they are crap..... They care more about the tip they make, than the actual experience of the customer. read more

Honestly I went in expecting something decent and once I arrived I figured out that BO's is absolutely terrible and a complete waste of money. I tried ordering Chicken Sandwich and it took 45 mins, and when my sandwich came out there was no CHICKEN on my CHICKEN sandwich. Unless you're 3 years old and you don't know the difference between good and bad BO's is terrible read more

there was no mask mandate and people were walking around and playing with no masks, surfaces weren't cleaned and the card mechanism didn't equate to the amount paid. read more

I'm not one to complain about much but tonight was the 1st and last time we will be going to Bo's in Lenoir. We bought the unlimited pass for $15 per person which bought us unlimited bowling, laser tag and arcade. It was so busy, we played just a few arcade games while we waited for a bowling lane to open. Once we started our 1 bowling game, we weren't even able to finish our game because our lane shut down with 2 frames left. We waited over 45 minutes to play laser tag and over an hour for a bowling lane. We got there at 7:30 and the whole night was just a waste of time. It just wasn't a fun night at all. We could have had much more fun and gotten our moneys worth going to Pinstation, which is what we will do from now on. When I asked to speak to a manager, (Note, if anyone knows me, I do not get out of line and I've been told that I'm too nice) I explained our whole terrible experience. I was told that they could not give me a full refund because we did get use out of our cards. (Well duh .. that was the whole point, right) I was also offered to come back another night with 2 $25 dollar give certificates. I told her that if I took those certificates, I would just give them away to someone else and she said that if I was gonna do that, then she wouldn't give them to me. I said that was fine because we won't be back. The food and drinks were over priced and the whole experience was terrible. I even apologized for complaining and still got the evil eye from the young girl that was in charge. It was our first time there! I was so disappointed. read more

Could use more staff and can be a bit pricey, but good food and fun place for the whole family.

If you are in Lenoir your entertainment options are somewhat limited but Bo's would be a solid option anywhere. The bowling and arcade are fun. My only complaint is the paucity of lighter bowling balls with adult-sized finger holes. It seems like they just bought all their balls for kids except for the really heavy ones which have Andre the giant sized holes. read more

Worth the drive for Boone tourist! The kids enjoyed 3 hours for an awesome price of $15per kid!

For the most part, it is a fun way to spend a few hours with the family. The food is your standard snack bar fare, with birthdays being the most prominent happening. The biggest problem I have observed is the management seems reluctant to get in front of problems caused by residents of nearby neighborhoods tendency to use Bo's as a babysitter, dumping kids out unsupervised to cause trouble. It's rare, but I have seen it happen. read more

There's practically nothing to do here.... their ddr machine isn't even working very well. It's a gigantic place great for group activities. The food is not bad at all. There's a stuffed animal requiring ridiculous amount of tickets, which it's reasonable to assume it has been up there since the place was first opened, hahaha. read more

BOoverpriced! BOoty!This place is absolutely awful... our group of 26 was so excited for this place... but we didn't realize the terror we were walking into. Everything was going great until we went to get food. Oh god our mistake! We waited, and waited, and waited until we could not wait anymore. We finally got our food after about 45 minutes of waiting. Most of our group got chicken sandwiches which were just white sandwich bread and chicken tenders. If you want to wait forever for anything then Bo's is the place. All I can say is that the experience was anything but Bodacious. Bo's... blows. read more

Great package deals. Kids had a blast in the laser maze and arcade. Nice family fun for all ages. Would recommend to others.

We have been to Bo's on numerous occasions and always have had a good experience. My children have had several birthday parties there as well. But today we went for my son's 9th birthday. He didn't have a party just went to play and I was really disappointed. We bought the session pass which allows the person to play arcade games, mini golf, bowling, and laser tag. We were told upfront that there was an event going on so no bowling until 1 pm. We said that was fine that he would play arcade games and laser tag. We went to the arcade and noticed that a lot of games are pay to play and you can't use the card anymore on those. It use to be mainly games that gave prizes (like claw machines) that were pay to play. What was really disappointing was that of the games that could be played, 8 were showing an error code. My husband went and told the staff. The girl said she would notify a manager and see if he could fix them that the games would have to be restarted. An hour later no one had fixed them or even come to look at them. My husband went and told another manager and she said she would get someone. He finally came to restart some of the games but acted annoyed that we were complaining and only fixed a few of the 8 that weren't working. This place really use to be great and was one of my children's favorite places to go but today was real disappointment. read more

What a shame! Nice facility and investment, but so poorly managed. Took our family paid $300.00 on food, bowling passes, laser tag. Kept getting kicked off our lane when we had paid for the passes and up charges for the cosmic lanes for 4 hours (offered to pay more for them just to fix it), kept checking every 25 minutes for our team to be called for laser tag after speaking to the manager and a total 1.35 minute wait we got to play a ten minute game as they were closing and two family members had left, and the food we ate made half of us sick - up last night throwing up. Will never waste my money here again or put our family in danger of eating here. If it were my investment I would be livid at the way it's managed. Get some real grow-ups in charge here. It's people's health and your investment at stake. read more
