Acton Bowladrome really makes me feel like I'm home. Having automated scoring was good for our small group, though I miss the days of keeping score by hand. Everything was clean and tidy, and the velcro closures on the shoes made it easy for the member of our group who had a physical disability. We played some pinball after our bowling, and the bright, noisy machines capped off a fun way to spend part of an afternoon. If you've never tried candlepin bowling, I recommend it as a fascinating variant. In theory, a 300 game is perfection, but if you can break 100, you're showing skill.

We only visited the arcade during our trip to Apex Entertainment. It was a busy Saturday night, and…read morethe place was so packed that we didn't end up trying anything else. The arcade itself was pretty underwhelming. The game selection felt limited compared to other arcades in the area, almost like it isn't a major focus of the venue since the plaza offers so many other activities such at go karts, bowling and laser tag. The staff members we interacted with were all friendly, which was a definite plus. Overall, I don't think I'd go out of my way to return as there are other venues at more convenient locations to me that offer similar services.

The staff is incredibly uncaring…read more I went there with two adults and 5 kids. Two of the kids (teens) had special needs. As we got ready to play, one of the other kids pointed out a sign which read bumpers could only be used by children under 7. I said not to worry, of course they would let us use bumpers. Ha! Was I wrong! The older man behind the counter seemed to take pride in saying he would not put the bumpers up for us, even tho the kids had special needs, because they were over 7. I explained they really needed them, and could he please? No, he was not going to "break a rule" for us. I ended up asking if he had any empathy for people, and he said yes, but he won't break a rule What an incredibly stupid rule! Our kids had their shoes on and were ready to play, so we stayed and let them cheat like mad. We will not be back.

When we arrived, it was super busy, despite it being only 10:30 am. The employee working there was very friendly and put our name down, saying it would be a 30 minute wait. There were comfy benches to wait on until our turn. When our name was called, we were given the rental shoes and headed to our lane. We didn't really know how to play or use their electronic scoring system. Thankfully, the employee helped explain it to us. It was very easy to use once we got the hang of it! I really enjoyed the bowling experience and the smaller bowling balls were easier to use than I thought they would be! I appreciated how clean and tidy and well run this bowling alley is!

Toppings (sausage and mushroom) were few and far between, especially the mushrooms which were almost nonexistent. Toppings, sauce, and cheese came only half-way to the edge, just dough after that. Top was way over-browned to the point where the cheese was disagreeably chewy. And I'm not sure if this was meant to be a thin-crust or a deep-dish pizza because it was both: thin in the middle half and three times thicker in parts of the outer half. Obviously whoever prepared this has no clue to how to do it properly. The ONLY good thing I can say about this mess is the dough itself was fresh and had a good texture. It wasn't just one. We were a group of 5 and ordered 3 pizzas. Everybody agreed they were bad. They should be ashamed to serve these. Didn't anybody notice leaving the kitchen they were unservable? So I would never consider here for take-out. But we were here for trivia night so maybe I'd try again to have something to eat while playing? But next time if they come out like that I'd be refusing delivery and demanding a new one - that's for sure. As far as the trivia, I might not return for that either. The room was very loud from the crowd, and the announcer's microphone never did work properly so it was very hard to hear. And, knowing how many good wines and beers they sell in the general store on the first floor, it is painful to have a choice of just 5 very generic wines upstairs. Why can't they offer all the wines from downstairs, with a reasonable mark-up for restaurant purchase of course?
