Any time bowling is suggested as a fun group activity, I can't help but grumble and shake my head…read more I've accrued far too much experience in seedy bowling alleys reminiscent of 1982 and have since become bitter. With that being said, I was pleasantly surprised by Bowlarama's offerings. Pros: - Lots and lots of lanes. One half of the alley was closed for repairs/renovations at the time of our visit, but it wasn't busy and therefore didn't matter. - Flat-screen TVs at the head of each lane playing classic old-school music. - Friendly staff. - Clean washrooms. - A bar and games area in the back (I didn't venture into either). - Lots of arcade games. - Neat black light and disco ball-like lighting. - Very reasonable pricing, which meant an inexpensive night of fun for our group of 8. Cons: - A herd of wayward youth lounging about in the parking lot. They eventually left, but they made us feel a bit uneasy. All in all, a great experience. I will grumble significantly less the next time someone suggests bowling...as long as we're going to Bowlarama.

By far the better bowling alley in Dartmouth…read more It has 18 lanes, so there's plenty of fun to go around. The walls are painted with great street-art inspired graffiti. Flat-screens are above each lane, set to sports or music channels so you have something to focus on between strikes. It has a large arcade room, complete with an air hockey table and dozens of video arcades. It also boasts a decent pub kitchen, with select fried grub, pop, beer, and chips; everything you need to keep your strength to bowl over your competition! They're very accomodating for parties if you call ahead, even allowing to stay a bit past close so you can finish up your string. Cosmic bowling is on weekends starting at 9, so make sure you're wearing the bright clothes you need to blind your opponents. If you're looking for a fun time with friends that won't break the bank, hit up the Bowlarama. You won't be disappointed.

Staff was oblivious to the condition and did nothing but laugh and carry on in their break room. They do not care about your safety. The place is terribly dangerous. Staff is only interested in you signing the safety waiver and then going back on break. The place is filthy dirty. Staff does not clean. Lights are blown out throughout the play area. Trampolines are worn and very dirty. Extremely hot inside. No ventilation or fans running. No music. Horrible atmosphere. No one is wearing masks. No one is washing their hands ever. Bathrooms are disgusting dirty. Urine and deuces all over. My children could not use the washrooms due to how dirty. No one was cleaning the entire time at the park. Do yourself a favour, avoid going here. They do not care about your safety and it shows. *Update: Not impressed with the lack of response from Get Air. Very unhappy family. Was looking into taking myself and children for covid testing due to the lack of proper covid prevention measures at the park.

A great time was had by all! (Well, actually, I don't know…read morethat for a fact. I had a great time and everyone else gave the appearance of having a great time. I suppose they could have been acting; merely pretending to have a good time. But why would they do that? They're not sociopaths... or are they? No, probably not. So let's assume they weren't putting on a show and that... A great time was had by all!) I've been to Bowlarama a few times before. I even had a great birthday party here once so I have fond memories. The facilities have been not only maintained but improved since then. Beyond being kept clean, it looks like they've updated a lot of features such as the flooring. They also use bright primary colours along the walls and pillars of the lanes. It's done in a way that serious bowlers (a club to which I'll never be invited to join) won't be distracted but it makes for a nice visual plateau (Yeah - I used 'visual plateau' when describing a bowling alley, deal with it.). The staff were quite friendly and easy to chat with. They seemed happy, which is pretty important for staff to be friendly, I find. The actual bowling? Well, let's say I'm glad that we all agreed not to be competitive at the beginning. The focus was on having fun. Which, considering I never broke 80, was just fine by me! And it was fun! I hadn't bowled in years but I didn't care; the company was good and the atmosphere was light. The free Yelp swag didn't hurt either. I eagerly await the next CMYE!

Whether you're going on a date, or for a birthday party, the Putting Edge is always a lot of fun. It costs approximately $10 per player, and is fun for all ages.

For the added glow in the dark affect, it's a good idea to wear white items, or, if you forget, you can often purchase glow bracelets and other accessories inside. It truly is a fun and unique experience that everyone should try at least once!

The staff were friendly and informative sharing with us the idea of their rock climbing coffee shop. There is TONS of seating here - I can see this being a great University hangout for homework or getting together to study with friends. They have a loyalty program, so if you're going to be a regular, be sure and sign up. I loved the HUGE glass window walls from the outside - really lit up and pretty at night! Oh and as a Mom, two thumbs way up for having a changeable in the washroom. Rock on Seven Bays Bouldering, Climb and Coffee on! PS They do have a few free parking spots out front to the left of the Big Bay doors where the bouldering takes place.
