We came here for a team event when traveling for work. It's a bit of a hole in the wall. It's not one of those fancy new bowling alleys. It's really your classic, kind of dingy bowling alley. We enjoyed two hours of bowling which was two games for us. You can get a free game if you check in on Yelp. We were there on a Thursday after work and it wasn't too crowded. It's about what you would expect from an older bowling alley. read more

Took my son and his two besties bowling on Sunday. Had a really great time. Very clean facility, digital scoreboard, reasonable cost. Thank you read more

I've bowled here for the past few years and recently joined one of their leagues. They keep it clean, maintain a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and if there's a problem, they take care of it. Highly recommend. read more

Packed on a Saturday afternoon. Snack bar food. Great for kids, adults, birthday party or -- we are here for a fundraiser/team building for our travel softball team. Kids & parents are having a blast! read more

My husband and I had a lot of fun bowling here! It was $15 per person for an hour. The place was clean and the staff were friendly! We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. They recommend reservations. We did not try any of the food or drinks. We had a great experience, and will be back for sure. read more

Took my school kids out to have fun and they did!! Ate all they could plus drink. Adults price was dirt cheap. Service was awesome!! I was given back my money while playing for a game I had paid for. so I used it to pay for more games for some of my special needs students! They loved it!! read more

I've bowled in leagues here for a couple of years now. Contrary to what some other posters said, I've always found the staff to be friendly though I've never booked a party. The main problem is that the equipment is run down. Every week we have some kind of lane problem. Sometimes the machine keeps reading scores wrong. Sometimes it's the ball return getting constantly stuck. Sometimes the machine only puts down 9 pins or jams all together. Once, they couldn't even fix our lanes and we had to wait until another league finished to move. The facility is just a bit too small and needs a rehab. The staff is actually the saving grace for me. read more

They have new balls now. Added plus! Just wish they had better food. We still had a ball though! read more

The Palace is a great place. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. Although I wish the bar was downstairs, it's great that they have one! Domino, the GM always does her best to make sure we are having a good time. I plan on having kids parties there in the future as I have seen many before and the kids always look like they are having a blast! Bring a date, the kids or just go for a solo bowl! read more

This place has great potential. It could be a great place for kids and adults alike. However it is very dirty and outdated feeling. I went there on a weekend to have a few drinks and play some pool. They were charging a $10 cover. I find that completely crazy for a DJ that is almost non existent and not interactive in the least. They could hire a new staff and start over to potentially save this place. read more

This a great place to take your kids to bowl. The staff was friendly. The price can't be beat, but you get what you pay for. I'm not a serious bowler, but I would say I'm better than the average bowler. With that being said, the lanes were not up to par with other bowling alleys that I've been to. The lanes and pins were old and dated. read more

I recently won a prize at the Church Fair donated by the Palace Bowling Center. My family of four bowled for 2 hours enjoyed a pizza and a pitcher of soda. We had a great time, Staff is very friendly, place is spotless, nice and cool. Great music playing. We ordered additional food and it was brought to our alley. All was delicious. A great way to spend a hot summer day. Good clean fun with some exercise too. We will surely be back for more. Thank you for supporting the community with your donation.

Customer Service needs some work. I contacted Palace Bowling to try and arrange an adult birthday party for my husband. As per the instructions on their website I sent an e-mail with my details and what I was looking for. I never received a resonse to any of my messages and when I would call for information the employees couldn't answer any questions. Instead of supporting a local establishment I ended up hosting the party at one of the bowling establishments in center city. read more

It's a clean facility, but extremely pricey. They don't give you a print out of what you're paying for so they can charge you whatever they feel like. I had a coupon for a free game. They failed to take off the discount and then charged me for my 3yr old to bowl plus shoe rentals, when he didn't rent shoes. I will try somewhere else before coming back here again. read more

UPDATE: My son was on a Jr League over the summer again this year. Communication is way improved (frequent emails and calls returned quickly every time). Mgr Tina and her daughter Bonnie (we miss her b/c now she's away at college, but look forward to seeing her next summer) are super nice and go above and beyond with service and treat us like family. I highly recommend the Palace, and will keep going back frequently. read more

Amazing staff.....super customer service...tons of fun!!!!! Lots for everyone to do!

A local favorite. I'm not a good bowler, but i'll go sometimes just with some friends maybe a few times a year, but every time i've gone i've had a wonderful time. The staff is super helpful and nice. The prices are very cheap compared to other bowling allies around town (Especially that new round 1 place, its very over priced) Yes, the equipment is a little old, but unless you are a pro, it doesn't really matter. This place is great for kids, parties, and just going out to play a few games with some friends. 10/10 would def recommend. read more

We celebrated our daughter's seventh birthday here today. The staff were helpful and organized. Everything went so smoothly and with minimal work from us. Our daughter and her friends had a great time and I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I've been taking my daughter here every Monday night for the past month. The staff is courteous and always available. The lanes, yes every now and then a ball gets stuck or a pin doesn't reset but that's also every bowling place I've been to. Great value on their after 9 prices on weekdays. This has been a great summer treat for my daughter and I. read more

Great low key place to take the kids. Reasonable prices...for 2 lanes, 5 people, pizza, beer, and crane games for the kids was under $100. We played a lot of crane games, so the price will be better if you dont have 3 children obsessed with them. Bumpers and slides for the kids, good selection of new balls. Will go again soon! read more

Hosted my last minute 54th birthday gathering with 23 attendees and it was a blast; very nice establishment, courteous staff, well kept, comfortable seating, roomy - a nice overall feeling; we ordered pizza which was just okay; I wish I had opted for a catering package but all in all the event was a big hit everyone commented on having a great time read more

I usually find this bowling alley the best in the area, but I couldn't have had a worse experience tonight. My ball continuously got stuck and wouldn't return every three throws, the pins didn't reset properly throughout the night, and to top it off the ball return machine scratched my ball on my last throw of the night. I'm highly disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone. They need better upkeep! read more

We were very impressed! Very professional and friendly staff, establishment is well cleaned and maintained, competitively priced, pizza was hot and delicious! Our group had a blast and I highly recommend The Bowling Palace! read more

This place is a JOKE! Took my family there (myself, a 12, 11 and 4 year old) at 11:30am and although the place looked empty, they claimed to be sold out - all reserved. I at first didn't accept this as it appeared that 70% of the lanes were open, but then learned the reservations started at 1pm. Thanks Palace for your great, NOT!, customer service to let a Dad and three kids bowl for all of an hour before your reservations, let alone spend even more money patronizing your shoes and food. Forget it! We left, had a pizza at Rino's (highly recommend) and shot down to Frazer lanes. Old, but all the same to the kids. They LOVED it and we got out of there for 14 bucks for two games for all of us including the shoes! FORGET PALACE! Will never return, will never attend another event there, let alone schedule one for any of my five children and hereby recommend the same for anyone considering this establishment. Is bowling there fun? Sure, if you get in - but all the same, bowling is bowling and we found Frazer a much more pleasant, stress-free and economical choice. read more
