I've been coming to this place since I was pretty much 3 years old. It's a bowling center that I…read moregrew up in and made some great memories, some which I remember like it was yesterday. That being said, this place certainly has changed A LOT over the years. From the GIANT arcade, to new lane surfaces, it really feels like a new bowling center in general. I like coming to this place since it's a challenge to bowl here, but I also like the arcade that it has as well. They keep all their machines very clean and maintain the lanes really well in general. HOWEVER, one big reason why I don't really go to this place as much as I used to is......their PRICES!!!! I know that most centers usually charge the same amount that Leo's does ($4 a game I believe and nearly $2 for shoe rental), but nearly every other center I've ever been to has a special when it comes to getting discounted bowling. This place doesn't offer that (not that I know of anyway) So when you're going here to bowl, expect to at least pay $20+ if you're bowling more than a couple of games. Overall though, I've always liked Leo's and I do recommend it to people if money isn't really a big issue.

Considering the far more affordable lanes in the area I'm confused why they would bother having any…read morelanes here at all, especially at a 100% markup. Was very hopeful about this place until I saw their proud pricing and dead parking lot. Will stick with the older lanes we have around, no need for this over-modernized and over-priced place.

Not sure why Bowlero in Lowell is rated so poorly, I have always had a great time bowling here!…read moreTypically I go to Boston Bowl or King's since those two are closer to me, but whenever I am in the area, I come here to bowl. I like the lanes a lot actually and maybe it's because I tend to bowl much better here compared to other bowling alleys haha. I remember one time I visited, I hit a strike every turn and basically had a perfect score game. I haven't tried any of their food or drinks, so I unfortunately cannot give any insight. Overall, I really enjoy coming here to bowl and always had a positive experience. I guess the only thing is it is pretty expensive to bowl here.

We had an awesome time here for my school-aged kids' birthday. While we love coming here in…read moregeneral, the birthday party was particularly fabulous and the focus of this review. It's well organized and there is a small area and a large area right by the entrance, flanking the ticket redemption area, the drink counter, and the employee desk. Great location for it. There's two flatscreen TVs in the large area and one flatscreen TV in the small one. Ability to turn off/on lights. We were able to fit high 20's number of kids in the small party area. Service and coordination was particularly great. Megan was our lead person, and she provided excellent concierge service. We were frankly surprised how great she was and attentive. We just assumed we'd be in for some chaos but nope, guided us, paced us, and was very attentive. You bring your own drinks and cake, and they have pizza baked in house. The pizza is really good. Wow. Move over boring kid birthday pizza. They take the cake back for you and cut it up and serve it. They clean up. They help with pizza distribution. They wheel in and out the carts with gifts (and coats this time of year) into and out of the party area. So if you want to stay around longer after the party area reservation, you're welcome to and they've got multiple carts to keep your things. The distribution of some of the credits on cards before and after was great. And the A or B on the cards of the kids to divide up the laser tag was great. And our kid got to do both times since it was their birthday. The area and place/setting is fun. Lots of different types of games. Everything was working -- a rarity for an arcade. There's better or worse use of credits, of course, as there is everywhere. I loved the variety though. There were electronic games, claw games, multiplayer games, violent and non-violent, physical sport/skill games (basketball shooting, ski ball, drop ball), and both ticket earning and non-ticket earning games. The redemption area has a large variety of choices and they're displayed well to enable kids to make choices without long queues. The laser tag area is surprisingly large and very fun for the kids. It's gotta be 2-3x larger than the rest of the arcade. The price here was great. Lots of folks will seek outer suburbs of Boston for good prices but all in this was a steal compared to some other options. And the other families loved it. Kids were raving about it through the school week, and multiple people said they're going to bring their families back here again soon and many for birthday parties.

Is it just me or is the pizza here actually pretty amazing? i have only been here for birthday…read moreparties but I am realizing that the pizza here that is made in house is different from other places and for birthday party pizza it is way better than delivering it into wherever the venue is. It's rectangular and super thick and i didn't think much of it until my son wolfed down two slices so fast i was not believing. so I had one. and i tried another weird pie called CBLT or something and it looked scary drizzled with ranch but crazy good! I think im just going to make excuses to come here again to try the pizza...the arcade games are definitely not really for little kids but pretty fun for older kids and grownups but it's nice that even if you have teensy kid points you can still get decent toy prizes and candy.

We kicked off the new year at Wamesit for my husband's birthday. Overall it was ok. Not the best…read morebut not the worst. Our waitress wasn't the greatest. I had ordered the Alpha Dog which comes with fries AND a side Caesar salad, instead they subbed the fries for the salad. With the exception of the fish and chips everything was good. Unfortunately my husband hated the fish and chips. It was too greasy and heavy. He barely touched it and our waitress didn't even notice. The game section of Wamesit was pretty disappointing. More than half the games were out of order. However the bowling was awesome. We did find the bathrooms to be rather messy and in need of cleaning up. We will probably give them a second chance but we hope they make some improvements.

We came here for the first time for GoKarting for Father's Day and had a great time!…read more It is a bit of a loud environment but the tunes playing were enjoyable. Even though we signed waivers in advance there was a computer snafu and they had to redo them for our whole party making the check in a fairly long process. In general the communication/ process for getting ready and starting the GoKarting didn't feel super smooth as the passenger but you could tell the staff was organized and knew what they were doing. They were also super flexible when one round they accidentally had child settings on some of our karts and let us redo the round. The go karting was super fun and it was great that we got to do both tracks. Special shout out to manager David. We had dressed up as our dad from various eras for Father's Day and he loved our vibe so much he offered us a free round of virtual darts! The darts were fun although not as thrilling as the GoKarting, kinda similar vibe to bowling. Overall we had a great time go karting and staff was super pleasant and helpful, would recommend.

The karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights can either be dead or packed and it's the busiest nights they have as Salem and Windham are both lacking a good karaoke bar. It's fills a need.

The atmosphere is a great, with a large room filled with plenty of tables far enough away to be able to speak during karaoke. The bartenders are nice enough as well.
