This is a great bowling alley. When we are bored playing tourist we play with heavy balls and aim at the pins. I personally have had a lot of fun at this place. We stay until the place closes and then head back to friends house to jump into the motor home and vegetate. My experience is great and I have had a lot of fun every time we have come up to visits friends and we enjoy throwing balls carefully in our own lanes. The price isn't outrageous. read more

This establishment is massive! We loved how you could choose between glow bowling or regular bowling lighting. It was really clean, had some good drinks from the bar and everyone was so kind. read more

We took our grandchildren here on Saturday for a couple of hours of bowling, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The kids had an absolute blast, and we felt very well taken care of the entire time. The staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive. They made sure everything the kids needed was set up and ready, and they came by periodically to check on us and see if we needed anything. That level of service really stood out. The lanes have been redone recently. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. It made the whole experience feel polished and welcoming. We also appreciated the food options. The pizza and pitcher of soda combo was perfect for snacking while we played and kept everyone happy and energized. As a bonus, I booked our time slot through their website and was able to get a winter discount, which was a nice touch and very easy to do. Overall, this is a great spot for family fun. Friendly staff, updated lanes, good food, and an easy online booking experience. We'll definitely be back. read more

21st birthday fun for noon bowling. Pretty spot and very inviting inside. There is food and a bar for those needing refreshments. We were also graced with a great and well stocked video game section, reminded me to of when I was a kid. Great atmosphere and staff that wants to take care of all your needs. Lanes are straight and tons of balls to choose from. Amazing place read more

I can see why bowling ally's are going out of business. I called before leaving our house to see what their hours were. They said they were open until 11 tonight. What they failed to mention, is that no lanes would be open until nine tonight, mind you it was 1:30 in the afternoon. Obviously we were calling because we were interested in bowling so I'm not sure why they wouldn't have told us that information when we called. They completely wasted our time. read more

I have been to Bowlero in Chico several times. Whoever posts their hours of operation should be fired. I have gone there 3 times now only to find they are closed. This last time, checked their website for the hours AND Called them and was told there were OPEN Lanes only to be told it would be an hour and a half wait. THE WORST MANAGED BOWLING ALLEY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. read more

Went there tonight after waiting all day (they open at 5) for my toddlers birthday and the woman says there's no lanes available until NINE pm :/ Mind you the whole place and parking lot were empty. Might be important to put it on your website that you have no available openings on Monday nights all the way up until April. read more

Pricing seems purposefully opaque. Online offers limited info. They don't answer the phone. All I know is from the internet is that it would be $170 for 1.5 hour lane rental for 4 people. They didn't answer the phone when I called to ask a person about possible per game prices or prices on a different day or time. A business obscuring their prices should be regarded with suspicion. read more

Haha so I wanted to make reservations online and wowwwwww, $167 for two people? Is that correct? I had some friends tell me they went on a Saturday night and they said they only paid $12 for a game and rental....why is it so much online? If this is accurate, I'll go somewhere else. That's insane. read more

Bowlero Chico - WOWWWW!! $$$$$$!!! - Bowling Near Me - Chico, California

Great customer service experience and clean environment! The arcade is awesome and there are alot of options

As far as a deal I picked up on Groupon it was 2 hrs of fun! The employees are friendly and we had a blast. Picked up an arcade Groupon too and enjoyed all the arcade games. Great birthday celebration for my grandson who graduated from kindergarten and his 6th bday. Some of the lanes are a bit off level)-: #18 beers to the left and some pins stick but if youre not concerned with score didn't matter. read more

This bowling alley is one of the best bowling alleys there is. Me & my friends came and had a blast I highly recommend coming here. The food is really good and the drinks are better than the other bowling alley's I've tried. I will be coming back here! read more

Over priced, under staffed, management seems to acknowledge the problems, but doesn't follow through to actually fix the problems. Bowling used to be worth the cost, now it's become worse price gouging than movie theater popcorn. And what the hell is up with your "holiday prices?" That's a scam and you know it. You need to post the prices clearly and stop charging $6 for a damn soda. Management has seriously lost touch with reality. They'll probably respond with "we'll look into it," but not change a thing. It's a shame to see this place evolve into a shiny turd, since I've been coming here for the last 30 years. The staff were great, the prices weren't and you feel entrapped. You shouldn't burn customers in a small town, just a little friendly advice. read more

Great place for bowling. Doesn't disappoint! Good food and arcade too! Family place or a friendly outing :) read more

Bowling used to be a fun, economical way to entertain the family. In the past ten years, I've seen the bowling industry decline to the point where there were several undesirables in the bowling alley. Now, I know a shift; bowling has become a high-end entertainment option. This comes with a high-end price tag. To take your family bowling will cost you $300 to $500 for a two-hour experience, one lane, 5 players. Keep in mind this includes food and beverages. I suffered from a little bit of sticker shock. I will note that the service was excellent and the staff was amiable. I did get the feeling that the staff was operating in fear of management only because they seemed afraid of complaints and criticism, maybe micromanaging, and a generous tip made them very uncomfortavle. I wish I could remember the name of the young man who is the supervisor because he made our experience pleasant. read more

Let's just start off by saying THANK YOU , to Nick and Adam for their amazing top notch customer service skills . I mean the best customer service I have received in YEARS . My bestfriend hosted her party here and let me start off by saying that the level of professionalism that they held was amazing . The table was clean and the attention to detail was amazing . Gabe (the birthday boy) really had an amazing time , and let's not forget to mention how great the food tasted! Adam even went to Raleys to get us pineapple because we requested pepperoni with pineapple pizza and they were out so he made it his personal mission to make a trip just to go get that special item . I mean how awesome is he ?! The best ! I'm really content with the level of customer service provided both by Nick and Adam and all managers, and owners should be honored and truly blessed to have these two employees working for them ! Thank you once again ! read more

Terrible place especially if ur not white, was told to wait 20 minutes till I kept waiting and asking it came to 1.5 hours to in which I saw the next lane that was "supposed to be mine" leaving and them telling me they were gna play another game... wtf honestly this place is blowlero instead read more

Place is great! Wholesome fun, recommend for everyone. Get the nachos, you wont regret it.

Long wait for a lane on a Friday night and then had to bowl in the dark with lights from giant TV screens flickering. Also had unruly kids running back and forth through our lane. I was told to come before 5 if we wanted lights on. However they did refund our money when we decided not to play our last game (you pay in advance.) The pro shop was great but the bowling experience not so much. read more

Holy Cow! Our lane had 6, 7, 8 people!? And Sara remembered all of us on a busy night, killing it with the refills! Go bowl a round or 5 and she has you covered! She's one of the best bartenders in town! read more

Literally waited and hour and a half for pretzel sticks and when I was waiting for them the lady's in the kitchen where not making anything so I eventually left after asking about them 3 times. Would not recommend read more

We had the best time ever!!! Sara M went above and beyond to make our experience an amazing one. The drinks were phenomenal and her vibe and attitude was outstanding. We love her and will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely love coming here for date night. They have a full bar, amazing mozzarella sticks, and the best arcade available in chico. The staff is always accommodating and efficient. They are even open on Christmas. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend for a date night, family night or just a night out with friends. read more

I understand that it's COVID times, but $6.99 per person per game is a little steep. We had 3 people and it cost us just under $59 for 2 games with shoes on a Saturday night. They did renovate this place since it was AMF Orchards, but the lanes still have older technology as far as bowling alleys go. We had a few times where the pins weren't set correctly and even balls stuck in the return once. We had to call to get the balls returned. Also, they charge you $1 for the card to play arcade games and they are pretty expensive. We also didn't get any of tickets we won from ticket games on the card when we went to redeem. Kinda crummy experience here tonight. read more

Horrible service, and it is super annoying that they do their tournaments on the weekend. When families try to go there. Every time you try to go there , it's ridiculous just to be able to try to bowl read more

Sara made us fantastic drinks and her overall service was phenomenal!! Great energy and made our night so fun. Will definitely be back soon!

Adam was GREAT, he communicated very well about their group rates & made sure we were taken care of all night! Also, Sarah was an amazing server!

A group of friends and myself went for unlimited bowling and had THE BEST TIME. We had a server who would bring us our drinks and food directly to the lane(she was fantastic) and the manager was so funny and encouraging even when we got a little loud and had a few too many drinks. When I originally got there and paid for the bowling and shoes I was overcharged for two pairs (my fault for not clarifying) and the situation was handled perfectly. They were all so polite and I got $15 worth of coupons for next time for the inconvenience. At one point I even knocked over a glass and Max(the manager) came over to clean it up for us and had a great attitude about it. I go bowling here every so often but now it is going to be a much more regular thing! read more

Matt is the man, gm great physique amazing management skills. I plan to be back any time Matt is working and I suggest you all do the same. Ask for Matt and he'll give you the VIP treatment you deserve but that also comes with you giving him the respect he deserves because he deserves it. Once again great guy. read more

okay so obviously each business has good days and bad days but if you get the chance to interact with adam you will get the pleasure of dealing with someone who actually cares about you having a good experience, this 5 stars is for him read more

We recently reserved a space for a kids birthday party. The facility was clean and well maintained but my rave is for my assigned helper Matt. He was world-class! He ensured our party ran smoothly and effortlessly. I always felt well informed and taken care of. We had surprise guests, and he was able to add them on to our package quickly and discreetly. 10/10 would recommend a bowlero reservation purely because of him. Hoisting parties is usually stressful, but I was able to truly enjoy myself and be part of the party because of his assistance. read more

Over prices racket! Too dark, you cannot see the approach arrows. This place offers nothing. You are going to cater to the non bowler, at least make the beer cheaper. Lastly, the power went out during the kids video game session, no refunds were given. read more

The customer service is terrible. I've had to talk to multiple different people about receiving a refund of $200 for bowling that we didn't even do. They say their terms and conditions say no refunds but that was never said to me over the phone when i originally booked it. Overall terrible experience. Just don't go, not worth. read more

We had our daughters 4th birthday party there and it turned out excellent! I didn't get the managers name but he was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. The place was clean, the food was good and and the kiddos had a blast! read more

My husband wanted to celebrate his birthday in Bowlero. We were expecting around 24-25 people so we made reservations online the day before to ensure we have enough lanes. We also called ahead of time to let them know what we had 2 separate bookings (they only let you reserve for 12 people at a time) and would appreciate it if all the lanes were together. When we got to the bowling alley, they didn't find one of our reservations. Thankfully Adam took down the reservation confirmation I received and worked everything out. He made sure that all the lanes were together and checked in with our group throughout the night to make sure everything was going smoothly. Best part was Adam gifting my husband with a bowling pin that we were all able to sign. We had an amazing experience tonight at Bowlero! Big shout out to Adam for such amazing customer service. read more

Awhile back I gave this place a bad review . Adam reached out to me asked if I'd give him an opportunity to make it right .... WELL all I can say is THANK YOU ADAM ! everything that I was not happy with he made right from the well oiled lanes to great customer service that i haven't seen in years . read more
