    We went bowling here at 9pm on a Saturday night. With shoe rental and two games for 2 people, it…read morewas about $35. The staff was friendly but they placed us in a lane directly next to another group of bowlers when there were many other free lanes available. That was our only complaint!

    I am reaching out to whoever is in charge of the Newburgh Showplace Bowling Center because I wanted…read moreto share my concerns about the current condition of the facility and the overall customer experience. Unfortunately, the quality of the experience has declined significantly. The bowling lanes are constantly malfunctioning, which has become extremely frustrating. During our most recent visit, we started on Lane 5, but it repeatedly broke down, so we were moved to Lane 6. Shortly afterward, another family was placed right back on Lane 5, even though there were plenty of other open lanes available. Another ongoing issue is lane placement. When there are numerous open lanes, families should not be placed directly next to each other. Families with young children also should not be placed beside league bowlers whenever it can be avoided. It creates unnecessary tension, as league bowlers often become frustrated with the noise and activity that naturally comes with young children trying to enjoy bowling. In addition, the seating throughout the facility is torn and worn out, giving the bowling center a neglected appearance. Customer service has also been disappointing. Employees often appear uninterested in helping guests and instead seem to spend their time sitting around playing games. Over the past month, my family has had to leave on multiple occasions because of lane malfunctions or because of issues created by being placed next to league bowlers. We enjoy coming to Showplace Bowling and would love to continue supporting your business, but these recurring problems have made it difficult to do so. I hope management will take these concerns seriously and work toward improving the facility, maintaining the equipment, and providing a better experience for all customers.

    For no particular reason, perhaps it was on a whim, I decided to drive the 20 minutes for me, down…read moreto Bloomington and check out their only bowling alley. It's the only one I'm aware of and for a city of this size, I would think there would be more than one. A Yelp search returns this location as the only bowling alley in Bloomington. It does not list the one on the IU campus probably because it is for students and not the public. The location was not so easy to find even with GPS. I missed the first turn because it didn't look like a street but more like a driveway. Eventually arriving close to my destination, I found the building is located behind a row of buildings on a main road and then set back out of sight on a side street to accommodate a large parking lot. Upon arrival I saw half of the overheard lights turned off making it rather dark inside. The counter person gave me an open lane sandwiched between two sets of young children. Out of 32 lanes, everyone was crammed into the last eight lanes all bunched up together. The other 24 lanes were empty on a day when no leagues were due to bowl per their website. Could I not get a lane without having to share the ball return with people that don't know proper bowling etiquette? It is customary to wait for the person next to you to take their turn so they have no distractions. This was not the case with both sets of people on either side of me, including the adults and the children. Then someone turned on the music on these large speakers mounted every ten feet or so. It was so loud people had to shout to be heard. I happen to be on a phone call and had to step outside the building to talk. I could not hear them and vice versa. If it was later in the evening I could understand but it in the middle of the afternoon. I wasn't there to party, I was trying to practice my bowling skills which takes concentration. I found it too difficult to concentrate with their blaring offensive music. Then there was the snack bar. It was closed! There were no alternatives. No vending machines providing liquid refreshments and a big sign on the door that said no outside food or drink is allowed. Is bowling a sport? Hydration during sporting events is not allowed here? I bowled four frames and left; never to return. I donated my remaining games to the children next to me.

    Amazing service, the owner was extremely nice and stayed late for us. Highly recommend, great time.read more
