Our recent trip to Knucklehead was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the actual arcade…read moregames were fantastic! We spent hours on the racing simulators and the high-energy shooters. The equipment was well-maintained and very fun to play. However, the experience went downhill at the claw machines. They felt like a total scam! The claw had almost zero grip on the plushies. We watched several prizes slip through the prongs every single time. It was very frustrating for the kids. To make matters worse, the ticket prices were way too high. We burned through our credits much faster than expected. It is hard to enjoy the day when you feel overcharged. I hope the management looks into better pricing soon!

The bowling kiosk had a lot of games on it to change up the bowling experience. The venue has a restaurant and a full bar. The bartender wasn't the nicest. My friend tried to get her attention that the water ran out and she didn't give him the time of day. I ordered a beer during happy hour but didn't get the 1$ off for the happy hour. When our groups time was up, the employees were very fast in turning over the lane for the next group. Overall, mixed experience but would probably come back.

Schwoegler Park Towne Lanes has been a good spot for casual and new-comer bowlers like myself. The…read morevenue is quite large and you can usually always find open lanes even on Friday and Saturday nights. The rentals for shoes and lanes are very affordable and you have the flexibility to rent per game or by hour(s). My party and I went and did a 2 hour rental which included shoes for $14 a person. Overall, the atmosphere was casual and energetic. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. The lights and ambiance were nice in the evening as the glow lights are turned on. Will definitely return with friends.

The older man was so rude to our family…read more The minute we walked in he was telling us our children couldn't go up the tables because people were going to sit there but end up assigning us those tables anyways. We asked for four games, he refused saying theres a 2hr policy. So we asked to do 2 games, he still refused saying hes only going to start us off on one. We get to our lanes place our things on the table, he comes down and tells us to put our stuff on one table only even though we got 2 lanes with a table assigned to each. At this point, we just decided to go elsewhere. Asked for a refund and left.

We had lost some money in one of the video games in the arcade and not to use race in any way but some of us in our group were black and it just seemed like Robin had an issue with our appearance is all I can take from it . He was extremely rude basically accusing of lying that we didn't lose any money I mean we're only talking about 75 cents . But he made a very big issue out of nothing and it made us all feel very uncomfortable . I would recommend finding a different bowling alley that Robin guy is not a good man in my opinion . Don't give him your time and especially your money . ​​

While it wasn't the best burger I've ever had, it was definitely much better than some of the over-hyped places in the Dells. The burgers were good and fresh, with a nice variety to choose from. We shared the loaded tots, and those were a hit with the whole family. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area, although I was surprised to see my son's bottled root beer priced at $5. The atmosphere really makes this place stand out. It has a fun, retro vibe that's been well kept--a classic, cute bowling alley with a small arcade and a pool table. The service was very friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. All in all, it's a solid, family-friendly spot with good food, fair prices (for the area), and a nostalgic feel. We'd happily return.

Same dark and moody vibe it always had and hopefully that doesn't change! They do have a nice out door area to sit and have a drink while listening to live music in the open concrete park.

A Hidden Gem for Strikes, Bites, and Vibes!…read more If you're looking for a place that nails nostalgia and flavor, this bowling alley bar and grill is it. The staff always shows genuinely friendly service--actually care if you're having a good time, and it shows. The retro bowling lanes are straight out of a '70s postcard (in the best way). Think neon signs, classic wood lanes, and vintage vibes that make you want to bust out your best high-waisted jeans and a Fleetwood Mac playlist. But the real surprise? The food. This is not your average greasy alley fare. Everything had a fresh, Cali-inspired twist-- the special was a fried avocado burger, the midway burger which is the signature staple should honestly be illegal its so delishhhhh. The cocktails were cold and of course the Old Fashion was a great drink to have while being in Wisconsin. Whether you're rolling a perfect game or just came for the eats, this place hits all the right notes. Great service, cool atmosphere, and food that punches way above its weight class. Pro tip: Go on a weeknight for easier lane access and call in advance to make sure lanes are available!
