The bowling alley is located near a LIRR stop which is a few blocks away, but even then, parking in this area is not hard to find. I have come here twice so far. My kids love it and they have a good selection of lighter balls for those that can't handle heavy balls. The kids bowled with 6lb balls while my wife bowled with 8lb balls. I have come here on a weekday and a Saturday, both times the bowling alley was rather empty which was nice. They have ceiling fans running and ac so it doesn't get too hot. The bowling alley isn't fancy. It's your standard bowling alley, but is a bit dated. However, it does serve its purpose and has 16 lanes. My kids typically bowl 2 games each and that seems to be enough for them. I would recommend this location if you want to avoid crowded bowling alleys. read more

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The machine was relatively new and the scoring system was very high tech. It showed different statistics based on our game scores/performance. There was plenty of seating space for each lane. The only issue was that their operation hours change from day to day, make sure you check their schedule before heading there. read more

We were hesitant to come here with COVID but I have to say - I personally saw the owner spray and wipe off all chairs after patrons left. Bowling balls were wiped and given to us. I felt safe with my kids here read more

This place is an actual dump. There were no lanes available and my family and I had to wait for more than 30 minutes. We decided to play some of the arcade games they had, but everything looked so uninviting. This place doesn't just need a deep clean, it needs a whole renovation. It smelled so, so bad and when we finally got to play, the shoes I got were falling apart, we found bowling balls that were literally broken, and the bowling ball machine got stuck twice. The alley we had drifted so bad, and be mindful that if you need the bumpers, you need to ask for someone to come over and pull them up. If you want them, they're gonna have to stay up for every single person unless you keep putting them down and bringing them back. I wouldn't ever come back. read more

Very family oriented and a great place to bowl. Staff is top notch and goes above and beyond for the customer. The manager rocks. Great place for kids birthday parties!!! read more

San Dee Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Malverne, New York

Small town entertainment, does not have all the "commercial bling". Has $$ leagues, and other non competitive friendly league

Fun fun fun fun!!! Great!! They have numbers and a roller to help my little hit the pins. Lol it was so much fun for the whole family. Went on a Saturday night and it was reasonable with the Groupon. My son dropped the ball on his toes so I bought him a slushy the price for the slushy wasn't bad. All in all it was fun. Staff was helpful. read more

San Dee Lanes - Fun for everyone - Bowling Near Me - Malverne, New York

Havent been here since covid but me and my family love this bowling alley. You can tell its been around for awhile, the atmosphere is inviting and cozy. Shoe rentals are affordable and the price per game is decent. My kids love to play the little arcade section they have. Overall fun for a couple hours for the family. read more

It's good for a family bowling day. They have vending machines for quick drinks and snacks. I took my niece there and we had a lot of fun.

Funtastic time at San-Dee Lanes. My party included 8 we took one of my cousin's here for his birthday as we he wanted to go bowling and San-Dee Lanes had a great groupon deal. I would go here without a groupon, the place was really nice the staff very sweet and it was a fun time. I'm not sure what people are complaining about, I do not need a fancy glamorized bowling alley to have fun, its all about great company and the staff being kind. I would definitely be back here and recommend you check it out as well read more

i love this place the employee of the year should be Olivia she's so nice and i enjoy seeing here i've had so many birthdays here and party's i came here for camp every year this place will forever be fun read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Yes, it's small, and yes, it's not as modern as the AMFs, Strike 300s, and the other big chains. There are only 16 lanes, and it's tucked away on a side street in Malverne so that you'd never know it was there, but I'm so glad we found this place a few years ago. The staff is friendly, they have great specials on Friday nights, and there's a giant municipal parking lot right across the street. They have a lot of different options for league bowling, and the people who bowl here are all friendly and fun to bowl with. If you're looking to eat gourmet food, play laser tag, and sit on velour couches, then you should probably go somewhere else. If you're looking for a BOWLING ALLEY, where the lanes are clean and well-kept and the staff is friendly, then this is the place to go. read more

This is a nice spot for bowling. Compared to other bowling alleys, this one is reasonably priced. They make it easy for the children to bowl with the light balls and ramps. The employees here are great. Very nice. My 2 yr old must have gotten the ball stuck in the lane a good five or six times and everytime, the young man working there retrieved it with a smile. The food there is not the best though and they only take cash for food. But all in all comfy atmosphere and friendly employees. I will be back when I need some relax time with bowling. read more

Great personality! Absolutely pleasant. I am usually wary of new places but this place was professional and pleasant. We bought a group on for six and walked in. No questions, he scanned the group on and we started playing. We played 2 games for 2 hrs 15 mins until 11:45pm and they were kind and hospitable. I will definitely be taking my boys there again. Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Love the service! We had a fantastic time. Thank you! read more

San Dee Lanes has been my go to place for bowling, drinks and pro shop. Every time I go with my family they make us feel like family. They recently renovated the place and made it look welcoming(more inviting). Staff is great and friendly. If you are looking to purchase any equipment Ed is the person to speak with. Ed will walk you thru any question you may have in regards to equipment. All in all it's a fine place to spend quality time with friends and family. read more

Great, old fashioned quiet spot. Very clean and tidy, wonderful attentive staff. All COVID precautions are in place. Price is simply unbeatable! Our family had a great time. Some arcades and games in the lobby. Will definitely be back soon! read more

This place is a dump. Most of the bowling balls have tiny holes that would never fit an adult hand. If that wasn't bad enough, everything in this garbage dump of a place is broken. When we visited today, the ATM was out of order, the change machine was empty, the bathroom looked like a war zone - a toilet was ripped out of the wall, coils were coming out of the hand dryer, only one soap dispenser worked and Jesus Christ, there were no doors on the friggin stalls! The air hockey machine had multiple places on the table where the puck would get stuck. As for the food, the pizza looked like it had been sitting around since 2016. You'd have to be a daredevil to try the food here. I think this sign on the wall of San Dee Lanes sums up this place. read more

I've been to Sandee Lanes so many times. I've had and been to many birthday parties as a kid, and now that I'm older, this is still my go to place to bowl. Ignore all the negative reviews. It is true that the bowling alley is simple and lacks any sort of "razzle dazzle" but why does one go to a bowling alley? To bowl, right? The lanes are clean and well kept and the staff is super friendly and they have a bar. That's three ingredients for a great time at a bowling alley. Like I said, ignore the negative reviews. This place is great and affordable! read more

Atmosphere is sorta whack, yo! The food court is 90s style and it's 2019 bro. Doesn't have those lights like the bowling lanes in my hood! My homies and me had fun in that arcade though, may come back for that! read more

We started bowling when we were told to move because leagues were starting soon. The problem was there were no other lanes available for at least 40minutes. Not a nice way to treat your customers. The desk is under manned if an issue in the lane occurs. Atmosphere sucks with no overhead screens to see pins left up. This was a horrible experience read more

This place needs a major renovation. Primarily it stinks like shit. Its dirty and outdated. If your charging me thirty bucks for one hour than there better be a clean pleasant enviornmeny. I tried to open the door to get some fresh air and the owner tells me to close it- well buddy if your location didnt smell like sewage and feces I wouldn't need to have the door open! He then proceeds to tell me hes gonna turn on the heat - in 60 degree weather. Right I would not come back to this overpriced place read more

Went there the other night with my family and the place is a little older than most places I've been to. We were unable to have bumpers for specific people who needed it , but had to be for the whole lane. The price is unbeatable though, their website is not up to date and they honored the price . One complaint is the bowling ball!! Some of the hole were soooo tiny but sooo heavy . They have no numbers on them. But staff are friendly read more

I've just been to the bar. Great space with a super nice bartender and tons of character.

This is a very cute & cozy place. My son & I started going on Wednesdays & we love if. He's 9 and has mild autism. The staff is so incredibly nice & accommodating . It's very affordable. It's a bit dated but I feel that's part of what gives the place character & it's clean! I ordered a ball, shoes & a bowling bag for my son at a very good price. Ed at the front counter was wonderful. We even met Sandy (San-Dee) who was very sweet. This is definitely a place that we will be frequenting. read more

Visited this place for the last 5 years. Not fancy but the staff made you felt like family! Always had a good time! Went there tonight to bowl a couple of games with my family for my birthday. I was told that it's a league night and the wait was a half hour to forty five minutes. The guy behind the counter said if you hang around stop at the bar and I'll give you free shoe rental! We have our own shoes and balls! I just wanted to bowl!!! Anyway went to the bar played some pool and ordered some food. Bartender was cool and the food guy was on point! After an hour and a half the guy at the front desk( looked like he was a stoner surfing dude haha) still didn't have any lanes! Get new management! Totally different from the summertime! read more

I'm going to San-Dee Lanes on Friday for an end of year trip!! Can't wait! Is it big or small?

The service is absolutely atrocious. This place is a dump. It smells gross and the food is disgusting and the bowling balls cannot even fit my fingers. The people working here are very rude as they wouldn't give me and my friends bumpers because we were "too big". It is an absolute disgrace to call this a bowling alley. Also, we saw rats running around in the bathroom. Disgusting! I recommend never coming here. It is way too expensive for the terrible service and atmosphere that is brought here. Go to any other bowling alley near here please. read more

What a dump. Needs a drone hit. So antiquated. Lanes not oiled properly. No hand fans at the ball returm area. WTF? These lnes are from the 1970's. Snack bar should be used with caution. Many missing fixtures in mens room. 3 sinks with 4 missing knobs. Have to walk down a flight of stairs to access. No disability access. Entire place reminds me of being in a basement. And it has leagues? Stay away at all cost read more
