Midway Bowl had been advertising a "$2 Tuesday Mardi Gras Edition" on social media and honestly…read more.. cheap bowling plus themed fun sounded like the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras, unwind after work, and laugh my way through a Tuesday night with my adventure buddy. Say less. I was READY. Being the responsible planner that I am, I tried to reserve a lane ahead of time online...only to be prompted to pay $70 to reserve one bowling lane. On $2 Tuesday. My brain immediately went, "Ma'am, something is not mathing here." So instead of rage-clicking checkout, I messaged Midway Bowl for clarification. To their credit, they responded quickly and explained that daily specials are first-come, first-served only and can only be redeemed in person. Slightly annoying if you're driving any distance, but, we decided to roll the dice and show up anyway. We walked in and I was fully hyped for Mardi Gras bowling. I had been talking about this for DAYS. And then... Front desk guy: "No clue what you're talking about. Maybe the bar." Me, internally: Sir. The Facebook post. The graphics. The vibes. The expectations. None of this was a fever dream. Because literally, HOURS before I walked in the door, they posted on Facebook: "Today is the day! Come join us from 6-10 pm for our Mardi Gras themed $2 Tuesday!" I did not dream this up! But okay. It's fine. I'll throw my own Mardi Gras party in my head. No problem. There were Mardi Gras-themed drink names at the Sparetime Lounge bar, but it was packed thanks to trivia night, so we pivoted to snacks and bowling -- which ended up being the real MVP move anyway. Let me tell you about the snack bar because WOW. Two orders of tacos (four tacos total at $1 each), six boneless wings in garlic parmesan sauce ($2), a 12" pepperoni flatbread pizza ($8), and two fountain sodas ($3 each) came to a grand total of $20.84. And the food? Actually GOOD. Not "this is acceptable for a bowling alley" good -- legitimately good. Also shoutout to the snack bar staff member who immediately understood what I meant when I mentioned the $2 specials, because for a minute I thought I had collectively imagined the entire promotion. Bowling itself was an absolute steal -- two games plus shoe rentals for $12 total. And I have to say, Midway Bowl is probably the cleanest, most modern bowling alley I've ever stepped into. Bright, welcoming, lively -- none of that sad, dusty bowling alley energy. Someone clearly cares about this place. So here's the deal: the marketing got me excited for a full-on Mardi Gras themed experience, but in reality, it was just regular $2 Tuesday bowling with some festive drink names floating around. Which is totally fine -- just not quite the "Mardi Gras Edition" I had built up in my head. Would I go back? Absolutely -- just with adjusted expectations and maybe my own beads next time. They're celebrating their 70th anniversary, and it shows in how well they maintain the space. And honestly? Cheap bowling, good food, and a night full of laughs is never a bad time.

Overall, I would recommend this place. It's sad, but I think bowling alleys themselves are dying…read moreout. We came here for father's day. I was looking for duckpin bowling which I discovered is slightly different here than in most places. Maybe it's the norm for PA, I'm not sure. The lanes are much smaller and kid like, so we did it for an hour, then switched over to regular bowling. The prices are higher online if you reserve a lane than if you just walk in. I called first to see how busy they were, and they weren't so we just paid there and saved a few dollars that way. We all had a good time because we made the most of it. We ordered pizza, chicken tenders, onion rings, and sodas all fairly decent what you would expect from a bowling alley. The place was very clean and so were the bathrooms. It was on a Sunday night so it seemed kind of quiet. I hope they get more business on other days and times of the week because this is a very nice place to go and it wasn't busy at all.

Event is no cost and plenty of parking options - make sure to look at their website. There are also unique shopping options. For things to do, you can watch shows of the animals, go to petting stalls where you can pay to hold or play with certain smaller animals, or go to stalls when the show animals and talk with their owners.

The stadium is small by baseball standards, which is what made it appealing The seats were located along the third base line in the outffield and comfortable and offered an excellent view of the entire field and stadium. There are plenty of concession stands offering favorites such as hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, pizza, hot pretzels, sofet drinks, beer, etc. The staff members were friendly and cheerful and served the fiod promptly. Merchandise and souvenirs are offered as well Prices were average for stadium food. Cash is not accepted once inside the stadium. Debit and credit cards are the only form of payment accepted. There is a good sized multi level parking garage several hundred yards away from the stadium that accepts cash or credit cards. There are plenty of restrooms located throughout the stadium and were clean and well maintained. We were very happy with our experience and would definitely be willing to return. I recommend this event for both children and the young at heart. We had a really good time.

They have handicap accessible parking and seating which is a plus. The ramps in the stadium are surprisingly gentle. I also appreciate that the stairs aren't steep and the seating is pretty comfortable. The stadium boasts that it's cashless but some stands do accept cash. The new lighting is great. It cut down on the mayfly issue considerably! I'm loving the support for local businesses. This is the first large center I've gone to that offered Middlesworth chips as opposed to a national brand. Lots of adult beverage options if that's your thing All and all, just a really pleasant and comfortable experience. You should come out to support our local baseball team!!

If you contact the Heat general manager, he'll be able to set you up with any packet you may want. The games are often high scoring with the Heat getting better each season through management of Pat Healey. We are hopeful that in time the Heat will be reliving its glory days of old! The tickets are often between 15-20 dollars but special deals are often available. The venue is pleasant enough with concession stands where you can buy all kinds of drinks, including beer, foods and snacks. Be prepared to bring some wipes for your seat if you attend a game shortly after the Farmshow in January due to dusty conditions.

Game tickets run $13.00 - $20.00, and parking can be about $10. They frequently have groupons, giveaways or promotions to offset this cost. By no stretch of the imagination are they considered a good team, but they are the local indoor soccer club to visit. 2015-2016 season was kind of disappointing, with only 1 victory over the Syracuse Silver Knights. They usually team up with local businesses to offer Clinics, mini Summer Camps, 1 day sessions, etc. Fun way to kill some time in winter.

Ryan races here in the PA Micro Midget 500 class, and we've watched the track keep improving every season. They've added metal bleachers that make a huge difference for spectators (finally, a place to sit where you can actually see what's happening). The big screen is another major upgrade live action, running order, replays... yes please. Makes it feel much more polished and fan-friendly. The racing surface itself has gotten noticeably better. You can tell they're actively working to make it more "racy," and most nights the track puts on a good show. They also tend to draw a solid field of cars, which always makes for fun heats and mains. A few honest heads-ups: * Parking is not the best, especially if you don't have a reserved spot. Be prepared to park your trailer a little farther out. * Bring a golf cart or four-wheeler if you can trust me, it makes the day a thousand times easier. * Pits can get tight on busy nights, but that's pretty normal for micro tracks. Entry fees are on par with everywhere else and the payouts are fair, which racers appreciate. The show itself moves fast and is usually organized well you're not sitting around forever waiting for your class to get called. Overall? It's a good track that's getting better and better. You can tell they care. We always have a good time there, and with the upgrades they've made, it's becoming one of the stronger micro tracks in the area.
