There aren't any kiosks at each lane like they have at bigger facilities; they program your name in for you at check in. They have plenty of items to choose from for alcoholic beverages and non alcoholic beverages and food too. Pricing was reasonable too. We will definitely be going back.

Each time has been really fun! The room is always clean and has plenty of space for the entire party. Plus, the party package comes with drinks and pizzas. You're also allowed to bring your own decorations, as long as you don't damage the walls and take them down when you're done. There are plenty of activities for the kids to do, including the arcade zone. Overall, it is kept pretty clean, especially for having so many children all the time lol. The food is really good and does come out pretty quickly. Pricing-wise, I'd say it's pretty reasonable for the amount of services that are included. The drinks at the bar are a little overpriced in my opinion, but the service is always awesome.

With visiting family in Nevada, they brought up the idea of going to Perfect Games in Ames, Iowa…read more We had an absolute BLAST!! We got set up with bowling first and found there are couches to sit on while you wait your turn. Everything is automated and we were able to select lane bumpers for the younger grandkids. I had to go to the bar to place our pizza/soda order (I have NO issue with that), and they brought our order out to us. It was really good! Next was the arcade and laser tag. They have a mix of older games along with new. We didn't make it outside for the mini golf due to rain. We will make sure we come here again!

With a wall of pinball machines, a special room full of even more spectacular pinball games and so…read moremany retro games (with a few newer ones in the mix) how can you go wrong? We could have played here for many more hours! One price gets you all the games you can stand until closing time. There's something for about all ages and skill levels. We loved the selection. They have a party room which would be great for a celebration or event. The menu has a variety of fun ice cream treats. There is a slightly higher fee if you're going to use the special room of pinball machines. It would be very worth it if you were intending to play yourself and not there with a small child. The only bad thing is the "all for one price" deal gives rise to many ADHD players who seem to hop from one game to another without having played for more than a minute or two. Many machines are sitting mid-game from players walking away. Plus there's no thrill of winning the extra ball at pinball or extra player in a game because there's no weight to the loss. The space also fills up so much there's little to no walking room so you have to squeeze between players once there's more than a dozen or two in there. As a tip: a couple of the pinball games were stuck at a selection screen or unable to provide any balls. The power switch tends to be on the bottom, front right side. If you reach under and power off for 10 seconds and back on they all reset and appeared to work perfectly. Our six year old loved it and we plan to be back again soon.

We went in on a Friday evening expecting the place to be packed. For some reason this evening it was quiet. The staff were very friendly. I was able to easily order a drink. Our friends were able to easily order food. They got burgers and cheese balls. My friend got a pizza burger. The evening started to get exciting when the lights dimmed and the lasers and black lights started. The price was right for a few games and shoes. We had a really good time bowling and enjoying the music. The staff said usually the Fridays were busier but this one we somehow had the place to ourselves. I would recommend this for a fun night out with friends or family. There are also video games and a full bar. I think we will be back especially if we could party with the place to ourselves.

The Mac and Cheese pizza is genuinely a godsend, and I've only thrown up from taking one too many shots once!! They have a perfect back alley for that, and there's steps leading up from downstairs to make sure you can get out there in time when you feel it coming, lmao. All jokes and drinking related mishaps aside, I truly am so glad we've got a place like this in the area. Great selection of arcade games and the cocktails are cute and nerdy. They had blood bags around Halloween-- genius! The bartenders are gems and I've had nothing but amazing experiences here.

They did have pizza there which I did not try, but thought it was nice they did offer a food option. The games take quarter tokens and they have a machine to convert dollars into the tokens. Unfortunately, a lot of the games were broken. This is also a very gaming style heavy arcade. The only games they have that are not arcade style games is skee ball and basketball (which was broken). Overall a fun spot in DSM for a date night or hanging out with friends!

A Remarkable Birthday Experience - Truly Unforgettable!…read more We celebrated our twins' 6th birthday party at this bowling alley back in October 2024, and even months later, the experience still stands out as one of the most memorable events we've had as a family. Life got in the way of writing this sooner, but the level of care and professionalism we received from the staff deserves to be recognized, no matter how much time has passed. From the moment we started planning, the staff was beyond accommodating and attentive. Communication was seamless leading up to the big day, and they made every effort to ensure things ran smoothly from start to finish. On the day of the party, they assigned our group a dedicated support person who went above and beyond--keeping drinks filled, food warm, and everyone smiling. It felt like every detail, big or small, mattered to them. What really touched us most was the way they made our twins and their friends feel special, especially in the arcade area. Their kindness, patience, and energy created an unforgettable atmosphere for the kids, and left a lasting impression on every adult in the room. It's rare these days to find a team that takes pride in genuine customer service the way this crew did. They didn't just host a party--they created an experience, and it's why we will continue to celebrate our family birthdays here. Customer service is free, but this team gave it with heart, effort, and professionalism that went above and beyond expectations. Thank you for making our twins' birthday so special--we can't wait to come back!

They have the Cattleman's Association's "#2 best burger in Iowa." It's also an old school bowling alley complete with 70's scoring computers and complimented by league photos on the walls from the same decade. I ordered the cheeseburger both times and it was quality, juicy meat, big patty too! Fresh veg and bun. A classic nice big burger cooked well done weather you like it or not. Fine by me. I ordered cheese fries with it which were your basic thin crinkle cut run of the mill cheese fries. Nothing special but still darn good with that burger. Service: just what you want in a dive. The owner/manager lady was all smiles in the newspaper article behind our seats but in person it's another story haha. Apparently it's all bizzness lol. We didn't mind though. It was a Sunday and like I said, this is the ultimate dive so love it up! The first time we did visit though service was very friendly but we had a different waitress. Whenever I'm headed through this area it's where I will stop to eat for sure. Good stuff!
