    So fun! It's nice to see a community bowling alley that's still nice and good friendly fun! We came on a Friday night around 930/10 and it was $12 for all you bowl including shoes! The music was great and they had strobe lights which was fun. They also have a full bar and restaurant if you get hungry.

    Glo bowl. Yeeessss!

    Whoa! Visited this bowling alley for the first time to celebrate NYE 2016 with family and friends. The owners have brought bowling into modern times with a variety of updates. They clearly want to attract a younger customer base and are doing a good job. What's To Love: - Great Facility: Clean and bright facilities, including the bathrooms. Separate cafe area with a lot of seating and pool table. Wheel chair accessible ramps onto the bowling floor as well so everyone can participate. - Modern Amenities: Take a selfie to post on your bowling frame! Connect to the music app to request your favorite tunes right from your own phone! Scroll thru a variety of graphs during your game to see how you rank against the competition! - Variety of Fun Choices: Besides bowling (regular or glow bowl), you can also take in a game of pool, play video games, watch your favorite sports team on several TV screens or try your luck at Keno. - Phone reservations: We had quite a large group but were easily able to reserve 2 lanes over the phone. Not many bowling alleys do this. A definite plus for those who do not live close by. What Didn't Work So Well: - Cafe: While the food looked pretty good for a bowling alley, it took 1.5 hours for us to get our order. Given it was NYE and they were packed, I'm hoping they just got overwhelmed and it will be much better next time we visit. We did get part of our $$ back for the inconvenience. Overall, friendly staff and a truly great place to enjoy some fun with your family or friends.

    Good for bowling but is not always open for people that are not in leagues. Otherwise, it has a great atmosphere and has good food too!

    They have sand volleyball in the summer and it's right up the road from a yummy ice cream place.

    This place could be so much better…read more Best perk is you can win a ton of tickets quickly and there prizes aren't out of reach, however, there prices aren't great either. I went for the VR experience it was good that's why they get three stars. Not to many places have the HTC vive set up. They should definitely have bigger TVs to gain more interest from bystanders and so they can see what is going on. The food options are poor and not great. Maybe the trampoline part is where it is here, that's where most people were. The parking lot is one of the dirtiest I have seen in a while, not upkept.

    We made the mistake of going to the "Funplex" on a Saturday night. Their C Squad must have been…read moreworking. It was an absolute train wreck of an evening. While the kids bounced I sat back and people watched. The bartenders and kitchen were so slow everyone kept asking for refunds. There was mess everywhere and no one was bussing the used plates and glasses. People just shoved trash off tables on to the floor to make room. My son wanted to play the VR system. $10 for 20 minutes. The line was 1 person long but they ushered a birthday party of 14 kids past us. Then after setting them up the attendant left and the party kids were literally stuck in VR land for 45 minutes. No one was around to help or stop the simulation. They are probably still there to this day. Poor souls. Anyways I had to attach a photo of the fat kid who couldn't stand long enough so his mom brought him a chair to play the stand up VR game. The youth is doomed. I was happy the VR tech at least let him play bare foot to keep the ambiance of the place classy. Speaking of which, the entire building is easily the same decibels as an airport. Bring ear plugs. Also maybe a book since the service was non existent. I finally tracked down a manager and demanded a refund before we left. My son was in tears. After waiting an hour he didn't get to play the damn VR system. We drove next door to Meijer and just bought a PS4 VR system instead. This is as the better choice and would have been a cheaper night. I did have the pleasure of telling the manager how many people just walked out the front door with full beers and stolen bowling shoes. I counted 7 while standing in line for VR. She told me that she "can't baby sit the adults". I wanted to explain that as a licensed bar manager, that is literally her job...but I just wanted to leave. It's more fun to just report them to the Ohio Liquor board. You couldn't pay me enough money to get me to go back into the "Funplex".

The food is usually good, anything I've ordered has been delicious and served hot. Unfortunately, I frequently forget to snap photos of the food! During a recent trip the fries and tots my friend ordered both came out less than hot. The fries were cooked but had likely sat for a while, the tots were almost under cooked and definitely had sat for a while before coming out. The burger and sliders they ordered came out hot, so it balanced the meal out. Service is always friendly and helpful. Looking forward to another visit soon!

Issue 1 - The golf ball dispenser did not work well. We had to waive the club over the sensor or hold it there for 30 or more seconds for each ball. I said something to the waitress, and she saw that it was spitting out balls, just very slowly. She did nothing to help us. I complained at least 3 times to her. The people next to us were playing 2 or 3 balls for each one we were getting out the machine. After an hour I went inside to complain, and they sent out a maintenance man right away. He said that the lid was loose and reset the lid. The machine worked perfect after that. He gets a gold star and the waitress gets a frown from me. Issue 2 - We booked the bay from 9:00 to 11:00. They did not open the doors until exactly 9 which I understand. After we were playing, I realized that they shorted us 2 minutes on our time. I took a picture and I agree that 2 minutes is not a huge deal, but when you open your doors at 9:00 my time in the bay should have went to 11:00 for the full 2 hours. I did have fun playing golf with the family and the goal posts were a nice add since the last time we were there.
