I feel like some of the bad reviews are from years ago... I just went bowling here yesterday with…read moretwo friends and had a great time! It's $34/hour for a lane and for three people, we were able to get two games in, so, about $5.67 per game. Not terrible! We went at 1pm on a Sunday and the place was so big that we had no problem getting a lane, which is nice when you don't have to wait. You can choose between glow or normal bowling, and the folks at the counter and bar were all very nice. I also saw someone cleaning the tables each time a party left, that's awesome! So clean! Thanks for a fun time!

I've been in the Bloomington area all of 1yr and have met some cool and knowledgeable people on these lanes and even joined a league & on that note, the equipment is very well maintained.

Each player gets a printout of their gaming score to see how they did. For the record, you can bring your own cake but other food (pizza, ice cream, pitchers of drinks) need to be bought onsite.

Except half of the activities are closed, there was no one working the go-karts and when someone came a fight nearly broke out. My kids have been here an hour and are already bored. It's clearly very understaffed. No laser tag which was the one thing my kids were really looking forward to doing. Apparently it has to be booked in advance but there is absolutely zero mention of it anywhere at all. It says the unlimited pass includes laser tag, so to them have to book in advance is ridiculous. We definitely won't bother with coming back.

Review Visit: July 26th, 2016…read more A mountain of shenanigans has been had here. Disclaimer; I've been to Mt. Hawley to play mini-golf quite a few times. It's one of the casual things I like to do to spend an afternoon hanging with my friends. Plus, who doesn't have fun playing mini-golf? Especially if your friends are in to shenanigans. Matt, Tim, and I came here in late 2011. This was the year before I started to travel as my main hobby. When we came here, we had intentions of just playing mini-golf and that was in... but once we go inside, we knew we were going to stick around for some shenanigans. Before we even paid for our clubs and ball, we got distracted by the little arcade they had set up inside. We probably spent more time than we expected playing the games and winning those cheap candy prizes from some of the machines. Eventually, we worked our way to the mini golf area. It's been a few years since I've been here so my memory is a bit sketchy of the layout. But this place has your typical 18 holes. I believe the 18th hole is one where you can try to get you ball in a certain area for a free game. I can't say I ever won that prize but the price of admission is cheap enough that you don't feel bad for making a crap shot. The course itself is pretty spacious and sprawling. Each hole feels distinct and away from the next one that you never feel like you will be bumping in to people playing at the adjoining hole. I've had that happen a few other places. During my visit in 2011, I remember making a hole-in-one shot on the 15th hole. I took a victory shot with the number out of excitement. I suck at mini-golf so to get a hole-in-one was a miracle. Or black magic. Or luck. It was one of those 3 things. I came back in 2016 to add this place to my Travel List and... I almost got another hole-in-one on the 15th hole. How awesome would that have been! I did some close on a few of the other holes but no dice. My girlfriend and I get pretty competitive during a game of mini-golf. We usually make a bet before we begin for ice cream and I usually end up having to pay. At least its a delicious loss. They do offer bowling here as well. I like to dabble in a game or two but I've honestly never played here. There is also a bar but I've also never used it, so I don't have much to say beyond that. Should I get to experience either of these two things, I will update this post with information/photos. Mt. Hawley is one of my favorite places to go for mini-golf. I'm not sure why but there's just something about this place that draws me to it. Maybe because it's usually not busy and they have some arcade games to play before or after partaking in mini-golf and/or bowling. Time to text my friends and see if anyone wants to beat me in mini-golf.
