First time there and my wife and I had a great time. The place has a little bit of everything to…read morekeep your family entertained. Staff was very friendly, there are signs to help guide you everywhere, and prices were very reasonable. Will def come back 10/10

I used to come here as a kid so it was cool to see what's become of this place while attending my…read morecousins kids birthday party. 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.

One if my best friend's son was leaving for the Army and wanted to go to his favorite bowling alley…read morefor his going away gathering. When we arrived majority of the lanes were occupied but we were able to get a lane pretty quickly. There is a bar located about 3/4 into the building and a food area at the end of the building next to the aracde. We ordered food: pizza, onion rings, and mac-n-cheese bites. The onion rings we crisp and the batter was not too think, it was just the right amount. The pizze was a thicker thin crust and tasted good. The pizza was tasty which can be hot or miss at a bowling alley. The night was really fun and I am excited about my friend's son and the next chapter of his life.

From the outside I didn't think much of the place until I went inside, where it bustling with…read moreactivities. I didn't catch the staff's name behind the counter, but he was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about his job. Professional or novice bowlers, it didn't matter. It seemed like he wanted us to have the best experience ever! I only meant to stay an hour, but our little entourage had so much fun bowling we actually stayed until closing! The next time we're in this neck of the woods we'll be sure to pay this bowling alley and second visit.

I was here for a private event and everything went well. This location offers numerous activities:…read morewhirly ball, laser tag, and bowling. There are multiple floors - each including a full bar. The food here was OK. Our group was provided a taco bar and cookies for dessert. The tortillas were not great, the texture was off. Everything was served buffet style which led to hot items being cold. Unfortunately the cookies were rock hard. Could break a tooth rock hard. Overall this is a great place for activities. It's nice that they offer food and drinks, but I wouldn't come here hungry.

We hosted a large kids laser tag party here and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more Most of the laser tag vests were not functioning properly, and kids constantly had to come in and out of the game because their equipment stopped working mid-play. They really should not be hosting laser tag parties larger than 5 people with the current equipment situation. We were told they had 18 vests available, but only about 6-8 were actually working consistently at any given time. To their credit, they did extend the play time to try to accommodate the equipment issues. However, it didn't really solve the problem when so many kids still had long wait times and didn't get to participate fully. The staff member managing the event was defensive when concerns were raised and explained they were "in a transition stage" and expecting new equipment in July. She stated she was frustrated too, but we were the ones paying for a service/event that was not functioning as promised. I would not recommend this venue for a laser tag party until the equipment issues are fully resolved.

Went to this place last weekend and it was a total shit show the lane kept getting are balls stuck…read moreevery single turn. 1 game litterally took 2 hrs with 3 people cause we had to keep waiting on the guy to go fix our lane. Then when we requested to try a different lane instead of this one. We were told "happens to all of them" on top of that all the bowling balls were like way over sprayed with oil stupid slippery! To top it all off I ordered a pizza that was 18$ and they no joke brought out a like off brand jack pizza that tasted freezer burnt to all hell. Definitely do not recommend this place it sucks.

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had at a bowling alley. Our food…read moreorder was completely messed up, items were missing and incorrect, and on top of that, we were charged incorrectly. Instead of fixing their mistakes, staff acted annoyed that we even brought it up. The service throughout the visit was terrible. It was slow, disorganized, and unapologetic. What made it truly unacceptable was the behavior of the manager/owner (whoever was in charge). They were incredibly unprofessional, argumentative, and openly hostile toward customers. Rather than listening or taking responsibility, they argued with people and made the situation worse. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them matters, and this place failed at every level. No accountability, no respect, and no concern for customer satisfaction. There are plenty of other bowling alleys that value their customers; this is not one of them. Save your money and your time and go somewhere else.
