I get to go for bigger company events and enjoy the bowling here. Its always loud. Gaming area if you get bored. Bar and food available. Not gunna lie. I really love their chicken strips. Nice chicken pieces and good dipping sauces. Don't get food grease on your ball though. Lots of laughs. Easy tracking for the game. Music and TVS all found here.

This review is based on a limited experience with Fort Frenzy…read more While I see from its website that there are many attractions that make up Fort Frenzy at different times, my experience is based on attending a concert here on November 6, 2024. For a concert, I highly recommend this place. I came from out of state, to start with. Venue is easy to find, easy in and easy out. Anything you could need is found about two stoplights away. Plenty of parking. Very accessible space. Clean. The sound was big! Standing room only type space but I did spot an area of what looked like built in seating along one side that seemed behind a rope but I presume was for all. I don't know who or what usually plays here but I feel like this is a space you could and should travel to for shows to say you "saw them before". I drove A LOT of hours on a weeknight for this and would do it again in a minute. Oh and the hotel is within feet of the back door of the concert hall so just plan to stay over!

The bumper car area is to small for the 6 cars they have in there. One of the games included in the 2 hour pass was shut down the entire time we were there so we didn't even try it (hologate). The kids and I were ready to leave after less than an hour and a half. It really wasn't worth the $150 for 2 hours we spent. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to others.

We only did 1 hour for the lane of bowling and with the 6 of us we got in one game and 2 frames on the next, it was enough though just to do some kind of activity, plus seeing the under water scene was really neat and the kids really enjoyed it too! There is a big arcade as well although we did not partake in that. After bowling we sat down to have lunch. The kids meals are a little pricy over $12 for some Kraft Mac and cheese. The food was really good though and I would come back for lunch or dinner. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with tater tots it was good I enjoyed the grilled bread and the two chicken breasts and the buffalo sauce that it was tossed in had the right amount of spice it was very good. My wife had the buffalo chicken tacos and that is what I would order if I come back. It was very good and it even comes with fried pickles on top of each taco. Delicious! The fried pickle appetizer was full of pickles definitely shareable depending on the size of your group. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are out by Altoona, IA and need a break from the car!

Chicken strips and fries are delicious. Homemade ranch is fantastic. BLT salad was not made with Romaine. No, they went the extra mile and made it with iceberg, including lots of core pieces. $11 for iceberg lettuce, bacon & diced tomatoes. I should know better. The service is atrocious as it's ever been. I recommend hitting the arcade & then bouncing over to any other eateries in town.

What a fun place for a small town. We decided this Friday…read moreevening to take out a couple friends who lived in Adel. They suggested some food and bowling. We went in on a Friday evening expecting the place to be packed. For some reason this evening it was quiet. The staff were very friendly. I was able to easily order a drink. Our friends were able to easily order food. They got burgers and cheese balls. My friend got a pizza burger. The evening started to get exciting when the lights dimmed and the lasers and black lights started. The price was right for a few games and shoes. We had a really good time bowling and enjoying the music. The staff said usually the Fridays were busier but this one we somehow had the place to ourselves. I would recommend this for a fun night out with friends or family. There are also video games and a full bar. I think we will be back especially if we could party with the place to ourselves.

With a wall of pinball machines, a special room full of even more spectacular pinball games and so…read moremany retro games (with a few newer ones in the mix) how can you go wrong? We could have played here for many more hours! One price gets you all the games you can stand until closing time. There's something for about all ages and skill levels. We loved the selection. They have a party room which would be great for a celebration or event. The menu has a variety of fun ice cream treats. There is a slightly higher fee if you're going to use the special room of pinball machines. It would be very worth it if you were intending to play yourself and not there with a small child. The only bad thing is the "all for one price" deal gives rise to many ADHD players who seem to hop from one game to another without having played for more than a minute or two. Many machines are sitting mid-game from players walking away. Plus there's no thrill of winning the extra ball at pinball or extra player in a game because there's no weight to the loss. The space also fills up so much there's little to no walking room so you have to squeeze between players once there's more than a dozen or two in there. As a tip: a couple of the pinball games were stuck at a selection screen or unable to provide any balls. The power switch tends to be on the bottom, front right side. If you reach under and power off for 10 seconds and back on they all reset and appeared to work perfectly. Our six year old loved it and we plan to be back again soon.
