    This bowling alley is really a treasure. The lanes are very well kept as are the ball returns. Electronic displays, but manual input for the scoring is not a problem when everything works so well! At least it's not pencil and paper. Everything was really clean when I came here and the place didn't smell even during a rainstorm so that's a plus. My favorite part about this bowling alley would have to be the consistency of the machinery in returning the ball at a steady time. Also the option to pick, single boxes, two or five to throw in a row is a huge plus. This lane is REALLY for bowlers.

    Overall, my rating is at 4.5…read more We love going here with our granddaughters. So much to do for a reasonable price - you can spend a full day here for less than $100 for 4 people. They have food in house as well. The pizza is pretty good for an amusement place. I personally love their fries and onion rings. They keep the place pretty clean. There are several toilets all over the place on all floors. There are also several token machines. What could be better: they need to look into more machines that count the tickets. Last time we were there, the lines were long in one area because several machines were not functioning.

    I've wanted to come to this place for ages and I was finally able to check it out last week when…read morevisiting my parents in New Hampshire. This place is known as the biggest arcade in the country and as a retro game collector and someone who loves pissing loads of money away to win tickets to buy literal garbage, this place was right up my freaking ally. When I first walked in I was surrounded by a bowling ally, pinball machines, and a ton of ticket games that I wanted to start working on right away, however, I used some restraint. Next! I checked downstairs and stumbled across the prize center and a bunch of other random ticket games, but the real gold was found on the upper level. When you go upstairs you are greeted by hundreds of retro arcade machines from the 70s on and I was in my own form of heaven. I checked out a bunch of the obscure machines and sucked at most of them, before coming across the likes of X-Men, Mortal Kombat 2, Centipede, and hundreds more. I wanted to stick to retro games but after seeing my nephew on the ticket hunt, I joined in and won myself about 1300 tickets before tapping out and just giving them to him. What I didn't know is that he thought it would be funny to spend 4500 tickets to give me a Bluey bag that Funspot definitely ordered off Temu or something because it's quite possibly the worst quality item i've ever seen at an arcade, kudos to my nephew though for being awesome. Overall, Funspot is a, well, a fun spot to go for a bit. We spent maybe an hour and a half messing around and playing games and I definitely enjoyed myself. The insane amount of machines was great, the vibes were retro arcade, and the fun was endless. My main complaint with this place is the absolute trash prizes they have. Come on guys, give people a reason to actually spend money.

    I came in on thursday afternoon. It was amazing. I love Lakeside. I had ny daughters birthday party…read morehere a little while back and the wonderful young lady who help me plan this party was incredibly helpful and caring to my special needs daughter. The better part is we came in this week and she remembered us! She even knew my daughter's name and my daughter was thrilled. Its been months. She took great care of us during a busy after noon. And seemed to know most of her customers as when we went to cash out we were behind a group and she called each of them by name, had receipts for them, and their printed sheets on the counter ready for each of them. It seemed so routine and my daughter conversed with them and one of the adults in the group was so excited to show everyone his scores. Just a fun afternoon and another wonderful experience with this young lady.

It's still fun and honestly is a lot nicer on your shoulders because you don't have to sling a 16-pound ball. But we went on a weekday and there were a few people there. Everyone really got along with everyone else. Yeah, the don't have food, but in case you missed it: this is a bowling alley. They have alleys and they have bowling balls, which is the important part. Yeah, it's not new and shiny. But is anyone actually building bowling alleys any more? It's a decent place if you want to try out some candlepin bowling.

If yes,…read moreSmitty's GameLAB is a great establishment that is loaded with arcade games -- lots & lots of them. Yep, whack-a-mole is on-site -- plus, that game where you sit on a small, stationary motorcycle & do things like lean & turn on it, etc. You know the one...yep, it's on-site too. VROOOM!!! Skee-Ball + the claw machine will leave you wanting more & more tries! GameLAB is connected to Smitty's legendary dine-in movie theater -- where you can feast on an entire chicken dinner while watching one of today's top flicks. The atmosphere at GameLAB is electric & loud (like, very loud -- so fyi, if you hate noise). Flashing lights, kids running amuck & the sound of laughter will surround your being. GameLAB has bowling! A restaurant! A big ole bar! And prizes! We ordered wings & beer & a buffalo chicken wrap w/ fries -- all of which were comforting & executed to dining satisfaction. I ate all of my fries. Oops, burp. I didn't try a slice, but their pizza looked amazing too -- the pie had favorable elements on it like cheese & a crust. Iconic. Waitstaff was friendly. I liked them. They were juggling a lot but checked in with us frequently. That was kind.
