There is something disconcerting about video games that rely on swipe cards to operate them. I miss…read morethe feeling of pumping quarters into coin boxes. Call me old. But that satisfying clunk was always part of the video game experience. It also was helpful for understanding just how much a video game cost to play. Back in the old days, most games were a quarter. The super deluxe games were fifty cents. I remember the first time a game broke the dollar barrier. But if you have a preloaded card that cost $10 with 50 points, and one game requires 6.4 points to operate, how much does that game cost to play? And what if there are some games that cost fewer than four points, and other that need more that twelve? These kinds of swipe systems make it easy for people, especially kids, to burn through a lot of money in very little time. Thankfully, Tilt does have some all-you-can-eat pricing schemes. But these aren't always easy to figure out, especially for first time visitors. Nor is it clear just how valuable these deals might be to the newcomer who may be unaware that a ten dollar investment of fun, might last fewer than ten minutes. Let the buyer beware. That said, there are some truly cool games which are in very good condition, and which I haven't seen elsewhere. The place is clean, and there are many options for fun beyond simply video games--although the glow golf course is small, and bowling consists of just two lanes of candle pin bowling. Staff are pleasant and patient, especially with younger kids trying to redeem their precious few points at the redemption counter. It's hard to say if we'll return. The kids prefer the experience of tokens at the other game room nearby, where we've been going for years. They also prefer how the machines at the other place spit out wave after wave of physical redemption tickets when they do particularly well in a game of skill. Still, I think that the older kids might have a different take on Tilt if we were to get them an all-you-can-play pass at some point in the future. But on this first visit, even the kid in grade school couldn't believe how much money each game cost to play, especially in this era of high tech video games. But all that changes if you can score four hours of attractions and games for $20. Hopefully they will have a similar deal next time we're in town.

They take your credit card when you arrive to hold for the lanes. Long story short my card and another got swapped. It cost me time on the phone and dealing with getting a new card and fraud charges dropped. PLEASE STOP THIS TECHNIQUE. Either have someone swipe to put a hold on a card or something different. DO NOT TAKE A CARD ANYMORE. This isn't 1999 anymore. I get you don't want people walking out but find a better way. Obviously your staff aren't good enough to make the system work, plus it's a security nightmare as you proved today. Fix this and I'll absolutely change back to 5 stars.

The last time I was here, this was Richland Lanes, that should tell you how long ago that was. What…read morea glow up, if you will. They really put in some great work here to make it a well-used, family friendly attraction. Yes, I am calling this an attraction as there are a multitude of things to do in here besides bowling. To the basics here, bowling. Bowling is easy to get going here. Walk in, tell them how many in your party, pay for the game, pick up your shoes and make your way to the lane they assigned to you. Electronic scoring, so no need to worry if you do not know how to figure bowling math. The lanes can be reserved either by the amount of games you plan to play or within a timeframe (like you want the lane for 2 hours). Bumper bowling is available with the railing going up and down if assigned to a person in your party. Balls are available if you aren't an avid bowler, and smaller weight balls, specifically for kids, are usually behind the counter. Our game had five people in our party. We paid for one round of bowling. But before we were able to get to the tenth frame, the lane shutdown. A simple trip to the counter to let them know we were done yet and they had us back up in no time. Each lane has a table behind it in the general area that is reserved to the lanes in front of it. So if you were to order food you can enjoy it here and continue your game. (Review for that restaurant on property forthcoming). Once done with the game, replace your ball, return your shoes, and then you can go about your day. However, there are other things to do here in you see it fit to do. Aside from the restaurant mentioned before, there is a separate section that looks like you can reserve for a private party, good for birthdays and what not. On top of that, they have a pretty decent arcade where you can win token for prizes. In the arcade area there is also laser tag. If you have a card for the arcade, you can swipe it for a game of laser tag. You would think that was enough for under one roof, but there is one more feature to this place. Escape rooms. They have two themed escape rooms that you can play. Not sure if they plan on switching them over anytime soon, but if you have played both of them, you've completed that for here.

Gave it a try and we walked in like a scene from a movie, the handful of locals at the bar gave us a once over.

The Arena is connected to a bowling alley and does have a stage of sorts, looks like either live music or karaoke might take place. TVs are available to watch sporting events but the TVs might be 10+ year old, not the highest resolution by any means. Looking for a beer and opportunity to do some people watching be sure to visit the Arena.

Not to mention the darts, pool tables, and bowling. If you have never been here or haven't been here lately, I highly recommend it.

My party and I arrived in the evening and were able to still secure a lane for at least one game of bowling. This was my niece's first visit ever to a bowling alley and she had a great time. Of course going with a three year old meant we were going to need accommodations. Luckily bumper bowling and a ramp were readily available. To say my niece had an enjoyable time can go without saying. She enjoyed herself so much she cannot wait to go again. Smiling and jumping up and down each time that ball hit even one pin at the end of the alley. Shoe rental prices were reasonable and the going norm: $2.50. Price per game was not bad either. If you wanted to use your card to pay you need to reach a certain amount in order to do so, but that option is always available. Arcade inside if bowling is not your thing. Snack bar has been converted to a Fox's Pizza Den. So if you come here you can definitely get a full meal to go with your game. Or you can order and have it delivered to your home as well.
