    Good for the city of Yelm. Very few lanes so expect a small wait. They have a bar and drinks are fairly priced.

    I've been here 3 times now. The first time I stopped in I had yet to have eaten dinner. My friend…read moreand I stopped into the bar where a live cover band was playing. They were pretty good and entertaining. We ordered the Nachos, which is quite possibly the largest serving of nachos I've ever seen, they filled an entire large pizza pan, piled high with every topping imaginable including both queso and cheddar cheese with lots of meat. We defeated them however. Our server was very friendly and we enjoyed the music while eating and watching people bowl through the windows looking at at the bowling area. After eating we headed over to go bowl. The alley itself is huge. It has that old 1970's vibe that many older bowling alleys still possess. I suppose it could use a little updating in that regard, but at the same time it gives off a feeling of nostalgia. There was a wide variety of music playing from the jukebox which can be used via an app on your phone. There's also a snack bar in the bowling area where you can order from the restaurant / bar. The bowling computers were up to date, and the lanes were clean with plenty of seating. There were also a sufficient amount of courtesy balls to use. (I need to have my own ball re-drilled) The guests around us were also friendly and fun. It is a very social environment but not rowdy or unruly. The bowling area also has lots of arcade games and other fun things to play. It's a very fun place to spend a free Saturday evening, but be sure to leave some extra time as there may be a wait for a lane if they're busy. One little tidbit of advice / criticism... the bowling shoes are mostly badly worn and the pair I had kept sticking so I couldn't slide my feet properly when throwing the ball. It nearly caused me to stumble multiple times. Also... most of the shoes cover multiple sizes meaning they weren't an exact fit which also didn't help. New shoes please? Also... a moonlight bowling or blacklight bowling night is a must... get one!

    I visited here upon a birthday invitation for my son's friend, so I can only comment on my time…read morehere as a guest. His friend's family reserved a private room for the birthday event, and I was thankfully able to locate it with the assistance of an employee. The service seemed decent. Orders were taken at a timely manner with food quickly being brought out and serving plates/trays cleaned up promptly once everyone was done grabbing food from the table. I really liked the cleanliness and décor of the place. Has a calming ambience with all the ocean vibes. I was not expecting duckpin bowling (I didn't do any research before coming here) but it seems ideal for a casual time. No one was really taking the bowling seriously since it was more of an event to get together, eat, and chat, so the duckpin bowling is good for all the kids to just bowl for fun and all the adults to chatter in between. I had some pizza, it was good enough (not cheesy enough for my preference but the taste was adequate). A fun time overall. I'm not inquiring about the price though lol looks a bit too fancy for me.

    The 2 stars are only because the staff was nice and the place is clean. However if you have ever…read morebowled before, DO NOT come here. This is the fakest bowling alley to ever exist, everything is wrong. Came here to practice my bowling technique and it is impossible to do. Here is a list of things I wish I knew before coming: 1. Pins on strings. Not my preference- still manageable but makes for a different experience. 2. When booking online, it says shoe rentals included. There were no shoes. Make sure you wear shoes you feel comfy bowling in. It will affect your game. 3. Lanes are not oiled or properly marked!!!! This is the most important part of bowling otherwise you are just shooting blind. The balls were just going every which way regardless of how good your throw was!! 4. The space before the lane was wayyy shorter than a standard bowling alley making it impossible to do a proper approach!!! It took a whole game to adjust. I'm sure this place is fine to come for the arcade, laser tag, or other activities. But if you are expecting real bowling, you won't find it here!!!

They've clearly updated the outside of it but the inside is giving traditional 90s bowling alley vibes (which I love). The building is divided into two main areas - one with a ton of lanes (obviously) and then the other part is a really cool mini golf course with water features and everything. I'd love to come back here with my kids during the rainy months, because they'd be all about it. We got there right before a crazy rush thankfully and were set up with a lane in no time. Prices are kind of all over the place dependent on what day and time you go, but split between the three couples, it was super affordable for a date night activity. They also have a restaurant with traditional American offerings. We tried the nachos (delicious) and also the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla (also really good!) Nothing out of this world but still good and decently priced. Another bonus is that they have a full bar. It's on the smaller side, but a bar all the same... And really cheap! A pitcher of beer was like $13 which really is not bad for these days. This was a super fun spot for a night out with friends and we're excited to bring the kids back here once the fall weather hits!

    I love mini golf and have previously been to a Monster mini in another location. When my friends…read moresuggested we get together to run the course I was all in. Located inside Factoria Mall, the venue is large, with an arcade and prize game area in front of the mini golf course. My friends eagerly played some games to win novelty toys and tried the cotton candy maker. I played some pinball so if any of this sounds fun in addition to golfing, they have it here. The course as expected has about 16 holes, all with varying lengths, obstacles and angles. It's a lot of fun lining up different putts. The decor has a sort of comedic-horror art with a Washington theme and other mechanical props to add to the fun and ambience. The snag? The same issue I have at most mini golf places, people start to get bunched up behind you because their playing too fast/making their own rules or whatever. Were we playing too slow? Maybe. There were four of us and we played as quickly as we could but alas... Even the staff girl told us we're capped at 5 swings a piece at one point before we need to move on. Needless to say, by the end we had several impatient people waiting behind us. I know this isn't Monsters fault per se, but I repeatedly saw kids just putting the ball near the hole for easy shots to go faster or smaller children crying and jumping random holes out of order. Would love to do it again but perhaps on a weekday or a morning when there is less crowds.

    There was a slight line for mini golfing. But it's so fun here. They have bowling too, but we…read moredidn't do that when we arrived. Very spooky themed and it was a blast to play. To mini golf you need to go in threes so that's something to keep in mind if you have large groups.
