Don't go here if you plan on eating! I was waiting up at the kitchen counter for a drink and I saw a whole family of cockroaches near the food prep area. Absolutely disgusting. It's a known thing they have these and have for a while now. Says a lot when their own staff doesn't want to eat their food!! read more

Far to popular, I have never bowled here and it not been packed Continental has better lanes revel and roll has better food and atmosphere(although worse lanes, their is lip) read more

Expensive but fun and had a great time. I loved all the things to do and really loved the glow bowl

aThis was an amazing find for us! On our way to our hotel we got a little lost and I spotted the ropes course and immediately knew I had to come here! After checking in to the hotel we drove right back for some family fun! This place seems really great! They have so much to do. If we lived in the area, we would probably be here all of the time. During our trip we all did the ropes course. The cashier was really great! The course was $12 a person, but she saved us a lot of money. There was a pick three activities for one low price, plus added one more activity at regular cost, and saved us at least $15! Thank you for realizing we were first timers and would not have know there was that option! The course was outside, and the weather was so perfect. I really enjoyed the challenge. Unlike some course, it was nice to see a lot of adults joining the children in the fun. They clearly make it an all-ages target audience which is good for us kids at heart. I liked the two story course with the zip line. I was terrified and excited to be there. There is also no time limit, which is nice, a smaller course near us gives you a 15 limit per climb. Besides the ropes course, they have a climbing wall and go-carts outside plus a food truck. Inside they have arcade games, virtual reality games, laser tag, a nice prize area, plenty of bowling, and some nice bars and snacks. The prices seemed very decent, and it was busy with a lot of customers, but not too busy to create a wait on any of the activities. The bar area offered some nice choices in draught beer. I am not sure what food they sold, but the fries looked good. They were also very kind about handing out ice water. It was a very hot day in the sun, and some similar places will not provide water after the activities. The bar tender was great! If I come back to this side of the state, I would have to stop here again. They also had some fun events. There was a Father's Day pancake and bowling deal which seemed very nice. It also seemed like a great place to host parties and events. Everyone was friendly and helpful. read more

Friendly service every time we've been there. Products /options for everyone. Family friendly.

This is like an all in one entertainment venue with activities for all ages. Being from out of town, we were looking for some to do and found this place. So glad we did. We specifically went for the bowling, but there other options include mini golf, go carts, a ropes course, arcade, and escape rooms. The staff were great and we had fun. A bit pricey but we had a good time so it was worth it for us and something to get us out of the hotel. read more

Staff was helpful, and polite. Brought a friends kids to have fun and we had a blast ! We did Mini-golf, Go-karts, and Bowling. My only complaint is ordered 5 drinks at the lanes and the guy took 10 minutes to bring the last drink, and that was after I hit button on console for service. Building was in good shape and clean. read more

Our family of 4 brought my son here for his 9th birthday. I was planning on getting the Unlimited Pass for both kids but was talked out of it at the counter. We definitely ended up paying more as I had to go get more cards mid-day so that didn't make me too happy. We started with the mini golf, which could definitely use some attention. Hole #7 was flooded so we had to skip that one. A lot of bricks are missing and there is a lot of rocks and debris on the green. The 18 holes are very plain with just a large boulder or two in the way. Next was lazer tag, this was one of our favorite things to do (we did it twice as a family). The first time everything went perfect. The 2nd time my gun and my son's gun kept turning off. Was annoying that we could still be shot as the vest worked, but the guns would turn off and then finally back on.. only to turn off again. The Go Kart Rides were fun, they give you a lot of laps and the cars are in good shape. The arcade games are pretty pricey, I would only recommend doing them if you have an unlimited or time card so you're not paying the "retail price" of the game. We loved the bowling. The server was fast and fantastic. The Balladium was enjoyed by the balls, but be warned, they shoot fast and hard. The workers there work very hard at the climbing wall and ropes course. I was very appreciative of them encouraging and motivating my boys when they were too apprehensive to do the zip line and climbing wall. We will defiantly be back in the future, and now I know what we like and what activities we don't need to do in the future. read more

We attended an event here and it was AMAZING! These guys really roll out the red carpet! We had pizza, tacos, and an ice cream bar -it was delicious and high quality. Staff were incredibly helpful and hard-working. Plates were cleared quickly and drinks were kept full. Our friendly bartender Travis was great and Jessica helped Beth to make sure the event ran smoothly. The center as a whole was clean and in stellar shape. I actually had a 40th birthday party for my husband here a few years back -did you know they have a team just for events? They were fantastic and helpful with meeting my needs and budget. They have you covered whether you have a big party or a small party. Thanks again, Airway! read more

We went two times. Arrived on a Friday at 3pm and realized that all the deals are m-f 11-2pm. Rides are $8each. Played some video games and decided to come back on t Tuesday because most things were shit down because of the rain. Went back but arrived at 12pm. It was busy but really enjoyed the gokarts. Attendant was nice and fun too. Played miniature golf which used up our time. Did the obstacle course which ended up being too scary for everyone and took a bit to get down. Raced over to the roller coaster after getting unhooked and made it with a minute to spare. The girl said we couldn't use our 29.99$ pass since it was too close to 2pm. I showed her my watch and she denied us. My granddaughter was devastated! No exceptions. A little harsh. We just thought she was mean. Everyone else was nice. We left on a bad note. Wish we had time to bowl. Probably could have gotten a lane instead and been there longer. Overall, good deal but ended up spending $60 on passes and $35 on food so not a cheap day for 2 people but got to do more things because of the passes. Overall good entertainment of summer fun. read more

Don L. The email you provided me does not exist. Here is the information you needed regarding my visit and one star review. We were there on February 10th around 5:30 ish. I got a bad margarita that it seemed to have been made with Fresca soda, there were no menus and the guy that was there never came back to check on us, nor did he asked if we wanted menus. Some people were bowling and had a pizza buffet. We finished our drinks and eventually called the guy and asked for our tab and left. read more

We enjoy this place a lot. It's meant to entertain kids and adults. You can bring your kids for a day long of enjoyment that goes from arcade games, to laser tag, laser maze, and if weather permits, zip line and go karts. If you want to bowl as well, this is a good place to do so. They just upgraded all their facility and it looks awesome! New carpet, new lights, new ambience...and if you want to have a couple of drinks with friends, they have a tap room with a private bowling area that you can rent in case you want a private event. Overall nice place to unwind and relax! read more

The unlimited arcade option is fantastic for a little guy! My bigger boys like to earn more tickets so they were able to ration their money and be more decisive. The staff was patient and helpful! read more

This place is so much fun! There are tons of options available for whatever might interest you: bowling, mini golf, high ropes, escape room, arcade, and more! There is fun for the whole family here. The only reason it is 4 and not 5 stars is that it can be quite expensive. That said, a great spot for a family outing! read more

Horrible service. Staff was too busy talking about getting drunk to serve customers. Had to break up staff from talking in circles in order to do any outdoor activities. Girl that was running the laser tag was the rudest person I've ever met. Was on her phone the entire time and would only acknowledge us by pointing at the equipment then aiming her gun to assign us teams that she wanted. Wrote management and they also did not respond. Save yourself $200 for a family and do something else read more

We had a fabulous evening at Airway Saturday evening! After dinner for our work Christmas party we decided to move over to the taproom and bowl...we totally lucked out! We had a party of 14 and they were able to get us in on 3 lanes! The staff was amazing! Tyler was super friendly and helpful! We will definitely go back! Our waitress In the Taproom made sure to check in with us regularly keep our drinks fresh! read more

Love bringing my kids here to have fun! We absolutely love the go carts, laser tag, balladeum. And all the games! They have party packages but they are rather pricy. We stick with a home party and and come here for games after. Wristbands with unlimited game time for two hours and a card with 10 bucks is a great deal! They have such a great variety of games and they change them up pretty good! Anything from mini golf, laser tag, bumper cars and bowling! Such a fun place for the family! They also have some yummy bar food, drinks, pretzels. Which are yummy!!! Their curly fries are crispy and fresh ! I love their turkey club sandwich! Must try! read more

If you're looking for a place to make memories, look no further. There's so much fun to be had here, and they really excel at making experiences and events unforgettable. What's extra awesome is that it's a different place almost every time you visit, as the owners strive to keep up with the latest gaming and entertainment tech. They've got a bar, for example, with an ice rack for keeping your beer and cocktails, cold. They've got the latest new virtual reality games but also forever favorites like skee-ball and lazer tag. There's the family-friendly main floor or you can upgrade your bowling experience to the tap room and enjoy a carefully curated list of local craft beers, plush seating, and ambient lighting. Come summertime, there's tons to do outdoors, too, including super zippy go-karts, a gyroscope amusement park ride, ropes course, and mini golf. They've got some additional obstacles listed at several of the holes ... you spin a wheel and it tells you what your extra challenge will be. It could range from having your friends stand on the course as extra obstacles to having to putt with your hand instead of the putter or having to do your first putt with your eyes closed ... that add a whole extra level of la to a longtime favorite game. Such a super spot for hosting an event. They're on top of everything here, and the food's a much higher quality than you'd expect for a bowling alley. We always leave with a smile on our faces! read more

This is my first time checking in and giving a review! Why? Simply, once we get inside to bowl, we forget to check in and just stress on who's gonna win the game. :P Called ahead of time to ensure that they are doing free bowling event and the lady who answered the phone was very informative and sweet. Great attentive service along with the cleanliness. I do see that they try to clean as much as possible even though it was very awfully busy. Good job on that! We were given a buzzer since it was about thirty mins wait. That was thoughtful rather than us waiting on our own and they forget about us. The reps kept apologizing to us for the inconvenience of the wait, I like the fact that they acknowledge us for waiting. It's kind of rare to find this kind of customer service these days. Finally, we got to bowl and the rep kindly auto registered our names so we didn't have to struggle doing that anymore. We only paid $3.50x2-$7 for shoes. Such a great generous event. Definitely worth the wait and visit! Note to self: please always check in whenever we go to bowl. read more

The best thing about this place was the employees, David was the best and squeaky was a breath of fresh air. But the management leaves a lot to be desired. Specially the bar manager. I would think at a Family fun center, you wouldn't be asked to leave for having too much fun. Be careful if you use a Credit card I was originally charged $312 and now it's $332 so they added an extra $20 on my bill read more

I preposed to my future wife tonight at our table and after 6 Miller Lites and 2 Lemon drop shots we were in the middle of a game and got cut off for the night. read more

Great for kids - definitely go on one of their SPECIAL days and times - check online for the details. We went on a Tuesday for 1/2 price night and it was highly successful and didn't break the bank! We did the ROPE COURSE and GO-KARTS (super fast and fun) plus added a playcard for the games inside. Normal ticket scam for games - kids will get mostly candy if you go just once. You would need to save up for plenty of trips to get anything bigger than that. It didn't totally impress me - but there are so many more things to do that we didn't even try: laser tag, bumper cars + a full bowling alley down the hallway! read more

We had a graduation party here in the tap room. The venue is clean, has plenty of staff and good food. We really enjoyed the wings and the pizza. There is a game room (credits, not quarters for the games), laser tag, bowling and a full bar. We found rhe prices to be fair, and the service was excellent. While Im not an avid bowler, the equipment seemed relatively new and in good condition, the lanes were easy to keep scoring and had bumpers for the kids. If you are looking for a kids party venue, family party or some other reason for a get together, Airways is a great choice. We will he back here again. read more

As always, Airway Fun Center hits the mark when we host our annual employee bowling party there. We love the private 8 lane suite, which is perfect for our group. Jessica Diamon, event director, is a gem to work with. She is very friendly and has lots of enthusiasm for her job. The pizza buffet was delicious with a large variety of pizzas, bread sticks & salad. And the cookie trays were a hit. No one went home hungry that is for sure. The waitstaff and bar tender were fabulous with awesome service. From the moment I walked in until I paid the final bill for our event, I was so happy that everyone had a wonderful and fun time. We'll back next year for our next bowling party. read more

Unfortunately, due to covid bowling is closed but we took advantage of the go karts and miniature golf. We had a great time everything is very clean i would go back if we are ever in town again. read more

...stopped in thinking this was an arcade-type place, but at the time that I went (about 7 or 8 p.m. On a sun nite) the arcade area was closed. The only activity that was available was bowling. I did not stay, but It seemed like a great place for a kiddie party similar to zap zone... read more

UPDATE: the owner reached out to "apologize" and asked for our address to send us something to make it right. Never followed through with it... why even bother if you don't intend on actually following through?! read more

Spent the day there yesterday with my 9 year old son. Seems like the staff is almost all high schoolers who can't be bothered with working. It felt like we were an inconvenience to them whenever my son wanted to do anything. The majority of workers were sitting around eating, drinking, chatting, and playing on their phones. My son was one of 2 kids on the ropes for about 20 minutes. The miserable worker in charge of the zip line of the ropes course told my son he couldn't use the zip line anymore because he had gone down it 3 times. I looked around at the rules and didn't see any rule about going down the zip line only 3 times. Evidently that is their unposted policy when the ropes course is busy, but to turn my son away from the zip line when he is one of only 2 kids on the course is ridiculous. Please overhaul your staff and find some friendly people who like to work and interact with kids. read more

The staff here were so friendly and helpful! I love being able to golf, ride go-karts, play games & bowl. You can spend a few hours here being entertained for a pretty decent price. They also have great mixed drinks and snacks. If you play the squirt gun game, the winner gets a ticket to pick out a stuffed animal- which I thought was really cute. I would recommend Airway to anyone. :) read more

Whether you're a bowler or not this is a fun place to go or take the kids on a rainy or snowy day. Cold beer and bowling have always maintained a harmonious coexistence in my life. What I like: The SERVICE button on my control panel. It lights up your scoreboard and a nice waitress comes to take your order. The beer selection works for me because they have Blue Moon. The food is by no means fine dining but this is a bowling alley so the stuff they sell is exactly what they should be selling. Aka burgers, fries, chicken fingers, etc. and it's good! The days of cigarette smoke wafting between the alleys are over. It's now a clean air environment. Between kids, pins, racking machines and general shenanigans bowling alleys do tend to be a bit noisy. They have something for that better than earplugs. I recommend: For only a dollar or so extra per game you can go to the west side of the bowling alley to a semi-private bowling area. The noise level is significantly lower and it's decked out with cushy couches and bowling balls decorated like billiard balls (the numbers match the weight of the ball). You've additionally entered microbrew heaven. There's a bar area right behind the 8 or so lanes with an extensive list of microbrews. The room has a quieter more removed feel. The lanes or parts of the room itself are often reserved for private parties so availability may be limited. My only gripe is that they don't carry any Latitude 42 flavors. It's the most proximate microbrewery (a couple miles south on the same road) and the Portage hometown brand. If you have kids: The game room has a number of fun activities, a laser light room, a room where they can fire plastic balls at each other, and lots of video games. If you hand them $20 dollars they load up a gaming card and disappear for a while so you can enjoy the bar while querying to the whereabouts of a Latitude 42 tap. In the summer when temperatures moderate there's a mini golf course and go-cart race track. Tip: Watch the carts before you race because one is always faster than the others. Picking the right ride can make you king of the track. They discourage bumping so when you wipe someone out you have to pretend it was a complete accident. Acting skills help. The guys behind the counter are always polite and friendly. Despite the number of people and smelly bowling shoes they're dealing with they nearly always ask if you enjoyed yourself. And despite my substantial lack of bowling skills I've always had fun. read more

There's no where else you can go to get this much fun stuff for kids and/or adults in one place -- bowling, mini golf, ropes course, laser tag, go karts, & arcade! I've been here a couple of times for corporate events, so of course it's amazing when it's free! But I've been a paying customer a few times as well and I'm a fan of the tap room (a nice separate area where you can bowl without kids). They have all of the favorite fun games in the arcade section, along with some claw games where you win every time! Ticket earnings and redemption is done electronically on a card which is awesome (although I do miss seeing those tickets spit out of the machine!) Bowling alley is very nice and clean. The only thing this Fun Center is missing is batting cages. read more

Airway Fun Center - Arcade area - Bowling Near Me - Portage, Michigan

When you're in Kalamazoo, and craving some arcade fun, you just can't beat Airway. S, my niece, and I have been here repeatedly over the last couple months, and each time we've been, we've had a blast. The bowling lanes are fun- there always seems to be a lane open when we show up, and thankfully they even stock bowling balls and shoes able to outfit my niece for a few games of bowling- and it's easy on the budget, too! I figure one of these days she'll manage to roll her first strike and we won't be able to drag her out of the place! The food in the alley is also quite good- it's your usual bowling alley fare of things like burgers, fries, mozzarella sticks; that sort of thing- but it's all done very well and not murdered with salt and spices like other alley food I've had. I really enjoy the French fries here! My niece, when she's not bowling, can often be found on the bumper cars, where she proceeds to have a grand old time bouncing off everything and anything she can run into. There's plenty of outdoor stuff to do, too- a ropes course, mini golf, and even a go-kart track; hopefully I'll get to try the latter two things when it gets warmer! Inside, there are a number of other attractions you can try- but I'm more interested in the games. The arcade is where I spend most of my time- there's lots of redemption games there, and even some games just for fun. My usual seat, however, is up at the Spongebob coin pusher, hoping against hope that this is the day that Gary finally drops out of the machine to complete my set for the big ticket jackpot! There's also the Escapology escape rooms that I'm hoping to try in a few weeks for my birthday- those look really fun and I'm looking forward to finding out for myself just what they're like! Granted, this place could be even better- the ticket redemption counter is full of little things to trade tickets for, but there's precious little high-end trade stuff- there's a few things, like a remote control car, an RC helicopter, some headphones, and a Cubs-themed bowling ball (which is what I'm aiming after should nothing else show up), but maybe you guys could put in something like some game systems or sports memorabilia to entice more people to save up tickets? I'll be back, no matter what, though- there's no other place like it in town! read more

This place is a lot of fun for the kids but can become quite a madhouse. The staff there is very young and very unprofessional. We enjoyed taking the kids bowling there but keep encountering very very rude staff. We also held one of our kid's birthday parties there this year and encountered another impolite staff person that was in charge of our party. She was very pushy and when we asked for a box she used her bare hands to pick the pizza up and put it in the box to go. I do have to say though that their pizza is some of the best in town. We will continue to take our boys there since there are not a lot of other fun options for kids like that in town. I am big on customer service so and I am disappointed in their staffing every time we go. We are not fans of Chucky cheese but I have to say that the times that we have been there, The staff is much nicer there read more

I've called multiple times, as well as my boyfriend to schedule a birthday party for my daughter and was given the run around. We've left messages and left phone numbers with promises of being called back. I spoke to someone today and they told me Sunday would be less crowded. I told him that I wanted to schedule her party for Sunday he advises me that he can't do it but he would transfer me to the front desk. The gentleman at the front desk tells me only one person that can assist me is gone. I also went online and requested someone contact me earlier in the week and I never heard from anyone. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of communication, and the effort to come up with a solution. read more

Kalamazoo, you're alright. We stopped at Airway Fun Center before leaving Michigan last month and enjoyed this place. The mini-golf course needed some major attention -- parts of the course were broken or in disrepair, and there was an odd smell from the water. That said, it was a fast-playing course with some nice tricks here and there. The inside is where Airway really shines. Impeccably clean, incredible bowling alleys and TONS of fun games/distractions. We rolled a quick game and then played a random game which had us shooting foam balls from air-powered "guns" on opposite sides of a small room. The goal was to hit targets hanging from the ceiling, but clearly two mature dudes were more interested in firing at one another. Loads of fun. Tons of arcade games and a go-kart course, too. Very decently priced and great for the kiddos. I would take my nieces and nephews here were they just a bit older. Kudos! read more

What a fun place! I felt like a kid again! Airway has those arcade games where you win tickets for prizes like Chuck E Cheese, D&B etc. But the cool thing is that the tickets get recorded on your Airway token card - quite environmental! We also played mini-golf which brought back good memories. They also have: bowling, bumper cars, and a whole lot more: http://www.airwayfuncenter.com/things-do Get over there! read more

Looking for fun things to do in Kalamazoo? This place will not disappoint. This place has something for everyone. Tons of great activities for kids including a ropes course, a clean arcade, laser tag and more. Plus of course they have a very nice bowling alley. Their food is quite good too. I really like the tap room which has semi private bowling lanes. This section of the building is for adults. They have a really nice beer selection and a good bar. Definitely worth checking out. read more
