The prices are very reasonable: $3.00 per game to bowl, $2.50 for shoe rental. They also have a decent menu for food and cocktails. I had the pineapple upside down cocktail- it was delish!! We also had the burger and fries which was good. They also had a deep fried hotdog on the menu that is wrapped in a piece of crisp bacon that looked tasty. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. You can "practice" in your lane for ten minutes before starting your game, which was great for the group I was with since many of us had not bowled in some time.

We attended there because a friend invited my kids to join them,…read moreFirst, it would have been nice to know that you DO NOT need to purchase bounce house tickets for kids not wanting to bounce. They only have something like 3 bounce houses. $36 for 2 kids, and one not to jump was pricey. It is $18 per person (4 and older) on the weekends, cheaper if you go on a weekday. The Arcade... So, apparently, a good deal, 100 tokens for $20. So, we split the tokens 50/50. I was shocked when my child was frustrated because a ticket based arcade did not work, and we realized it required 4 tokens! The number of machines that required 4 tokens seemed to be in the majority. Most places we have been to, the higher token machines were typically the race car driving machines, where machines that give tickets typically range in the 1-2 token family group. Now, I saw that someone mentioned that the arcade accepted 1-4 tokens, I did not find (on 4/25/2025 any that accepted only 1 token. Not saying that they were not there... I just did not find them. I did find a few that accepted 2 tokens or 3 tokens though. They do have some sort of bowling game that required 8 tokens in the back corner. While we were there yesterday, on a Saturday afternoon, it was really quite empty, we did not see anyone working the concession area at all. Thankfully, we brought water bottles. While there I did see a frustrated parent who paid $14 (children 3 and under rate), because the bounce houses were geared toward that age group. Overall - over priced.

First arcade I've ever seen with a bouncy house Pros: +Solid selection of games including ticket games +Good facilities for birthday parties +Staff was pretty attentive +Good restrooom facilities. Hey... thats important for a place like this. Cons: -Not the most expensive arcade I've been to, but its still a money suck -Area can be a little tight for manuevering Bottom Line: A lot of the 5 stars are warranted. I admit I'm a bit of a snob when it coems to arcades. Not the best I've been to, but very solid. Glad this place is in the community.

Having frequented many bowling alleys in my time, this one is probably one of the more shadier appearing ones and could use a good sprucing up.. But the bartender was super friendly and the bowlers who were at the bar after league were polite. Definitely more of a locals league alley. They do offer open bowling, but I'd call beforehand to get their times, as it seems most days have league bowling going on. While we were bellied up to the bar, we were taught the dice game. The guys explained it along the way and it was actually pretty fun. My uncle rolled 5 sixes on his first roll and that was just classic! Wish I had video'd it! There's a large parking lot.

They've remodeled the interior, though there are still a few games I recall playing back in the day! My cousins kid opted for mini golf and had a great time, but this course hasn't changed at all and that's not a good thing. The design makes it easy for kids to knock their balls off the designated path, which our birthday star did several times. The water features weren't running and even the ponds were empty which ruins the view and pictures. After, we went inside for food and games. The kid was offered a red or blue slushie. He asked what flavor they were and was told they are both raspberry... he didn't like it. Raspberry is not typically any kids favorite flavor, they should expand on the options a bit. The pizza looked OK, it's about the quality you'd expect from this kind of place. They brought out a wheel and the kid got to spin for some free tickets, which he loved. They brought out a bowling pin as a keepsake for everyone to sign which is another nice touch. I'll give credit to the staff, the guy interacting with our group did a great job hyping up the kids. I didn't get to check out the other amenities such as bowling and go-carts so I can't speak on them, but I've bowled here before and enjoyed myself. In the fall they do a haunted house. I've never attended it but that's another thing to consider. Honestly if the mini golf course was in better condition I'd give them another star but the empty ponds with visible pipes was ugly and off-putting. That said this seems like a good way to entertain some kids for a day.
