    I came here for an event with a group, and it was a casually nice time. There are quite a few lanes. Apparently, they have a drink called "liquid marijuana" and I thought the guy I asked who told me that was making a joke at me and making fun of me. I had a weird face but said nothing and just waited in line. When I got to the bar tender, she told me it was called just that. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a picture of the drink because I didn't want to keep holding other people up from bowling. But it is a blue drink and semi-sweet. Some people think it's strong.

    We had a great time a Bowlerama. We visited family in Delaware and wanted a spot that the kids could enjoy as well. When we got here we were greeted by David, one of the employees. He was super nice and helped us find our bowling balls. He even came to check on us to make sure we were able to use the equipment. I don't know who the manager is but he should be the face of Bowlerama. Someone who makes you feel like you belong with great customer service. Give this guy a raise!

    Sometimes Bowlarama is AWESOME, sometimes it's not! First the good stuff: the bartender at the bar inside is a 'MIXOLOGIST'! He was the first to introduce me to Jack Daniel' Honey & Pineapple juice! I have been a believer since then! The food in their restaurant, SPARE RIBS. Is actually very good. You have to get ANY FLAVOR of their wings! ANY FLAVOR! Their chili cheese fries remind me of back in the day when the chili was actually home cooked! This is a perfect place for a children's party, birthday, etc. They have league matches, weekly. It is a very clean, sometimes crowded establishment! However, the staff at the front counter can be a bit 'testy' when they feel like it!

    Hours of operation according to website.

    This bowling alley is huge (over 60 lanes) and offers a built in bar, restaurant, Dunkin Donuts, pro shop, and a Kid Zone. The employees were very observant and helpful; when our ball got stuck in the gutter someone came out almost immediately without us saying anything. The only reason they lose a star is because their equipment is a bit outdated. The console where you type your name, the ball return, and their tvs were probably top of line in the 70's but now it feels old and feeble. The prices aren't great but they have specials almost everyday. You just have to check their website. One thing to note, currently, their hours of operation are listed incorrectly on yelp. They are open Friday and Saturday from 9 to midnight.

    Probably one of the best bowling arena in Delaware. Around 60 lanes with great food , good service and amazing bar. Worth the time and cost.

    I see why Main Event has a pull. They have bowling, billiards, and even laser tag and gravity…read moreropes. There wasn't much explanation available for gravity ropes or laser tag and I kinda felt like "just there" and while I could figure things out, since I am not in the best physical shape and partially because I coordinated a lot of planning probably, it was a bit overwhelming for me. Since it was my first time with gravity ropes, I was there with two friends the first time around. That's how I learned about gravity ropes, but they are only open Friday through Monday and not on a Wednesday night. I don't remember what the staffer told me Wednesday night, but I tried calling to see if I needed to reserve Gravity Ropes and since I couldn't get through, I figured I would just wait until I got on-site to reserve a time slot. Since my friends were coming later than requested, I had to wait until the last person came in order for me to request a time for our entire group to be together for it. This was all fine. Gravity ropes, you get strapped in safety gear and then you figure out how to go across the obstacles. Some obstacles don't have rope railings and the zip lining has no railings of course (but i didn't realize it was zip lining until I was there lol). but you might hold on to your rope to slide to the other side even if you would get rope burn. Laser tag has a name for the suit you put on so that you know your score but that wasn't apparent and the landscape for the laser tag was eh. Not many places offer laser tag and gravity ropes- but I think I will venture elsewhere on my own. Signs saying if it's your first time for laser tag or gravity ropes at our facility, asking a staffer could be helpful so that staffers don't have to unnecessarily repeat themselves etc. My blue slushie came out fine. They also offer alcoholic slushies here which is a cool option and offers that added party atmosphere and flavor options that some people like myself like. I didn't get one because I didn't want one before doing gravity ropes and my group didn't stay long enough for me to have one as others wanted to go elsewhere. I enjoyed their VR machines but some parts may be not working super good. I heard the food was typical arcade quality bad. Some of the crowd's lack of class here somewhat resemble the apathy and exhaustion from some of the staff that work here. Particularly some of the people who looked like they barely passed for 21. Two of them cut in line for gravity ropes in the middle of my group but they couldn't go on because they didn't get strapped on. A group of girls didn't seem to pay attention to the regular line for signing up for billiards or bowling, and assumed they were there first. I wasn't in a hurry and just let them ahead but I didn't care for the sense of entitlement. Also, It feels like there could be a few more staff on this busy Sat night too. The experience was discombobulating for me and I would only go again w friends if they wanted me to go.

    This place is dirty asf. Bathroom is dirty , almost EVERY stall was dirty. Menus dirty too.... Also…read morethe bar tender is rude. EEEYUCKK.

    We were looking for a place to take the kids on a really cold day. Most of the indoor playgrounds…read morerequire a timed appointment, but this place didn't so we decided to give it a try. First of all, I think the price is a bit high for the little it includes. I think it was $12 per kid (adults free) but all that gets you is access to the climbing/slide area. You have to buy a card for all the games, rides and other activities. However, it was nice to let our kids run around for a bit, although of course they didn't want to spend time in the climbing area when there were games and other attractions all around. One other nice thing is you can leave and come back all day long. We choose to grab lunch elsewhere and come back for some more fun. Don't think I would be back but happy it was available when we needed somewhere to go!

    Very cute, quaint space for children's gatherings. I came here to celebrate my niece's bday and she…read moreseemed to be having the best time in the obstacle course. There were other attractions but I didn't make note although I do recall that there was a basketball court and free standing gaming consoles. What I liked most is that there are private areas to gather in. Also, I did try the pizza, wings and fries - they weren't anything special but they were good... My favorite part of the experience was the customer service - every associate that I interacted with was friendly, professional and most importantly, helpful!
