    The employee who treated us very poorly citing secret prices unknown to customers

    Just went bowling tonight. Got there at 4:30PM. Had a great time bowling. Until we went to close out the bar tab, the bar tender was a very nice employee but he charged us full price during happy hour. We pointed out the error after they charged our card, he offered us "fun bucks" or the equivalent of a card loaded to only spend money again at the bowling alley...not cash, not credit back to the card, just a bowling gift card. He fixed it after we asked for a proper refund multiple times. Then they charged us separately for our lane...again they charged us wrong. I have 2 young kids, one was crying and after waiting on the bar mistake we were ready to go. I pointed out the pricing was completely wrong. Sara behind the register said, well our GM says they have changed the pricing during "Christmas week". I said this doesn't match the website pricing. I asked her to fix it. She said they are running different prices not listed anywhere. She said I should have asked before swiping my card also. She refused to fix it, she refused to apologize, I asked her how a customer would know you had new secret prices right now and she just shrugged. She refused to give me her GMs name and told me to get out and have a nice night. I have her on video confirming this. My family will never be returning, sadly we would have given this place lots of money for years to come but their service is awful and the customers were treated like trash after employee mistakes and secret pricing by management. They literally stole money from us with a false pricing scheme leaving the customer no way of knowing this change had been made. Beware of this place!

    In the past I've greatly enjoyed my time here. This recent visit really bummed me out. My partner and I joined another couple for a fun filled Saturday night of bowling. With my partner in grad school we were elated to take advantage of a ValuPak deal found by a friend ($10 ea. for shoes and bowling for 2 hours). After a brief wait (the place was slammin') our lane was finally ready. Our first few frames went off without a hitch - and then the pin setter upper machine went down for about a half an hour. Over the remainder of the night our lane continued to act up and the staff had to be approached in each instance of the problem. I was very disappointed that we not only missed about an hour of bowling we'd paid for but the staff were also non apologetic nor did they offer to switch us to vacant nearby lanes. To make the situation even more bothersome my partner got 3 strikes in a row and was initially awarded (we ran up to the desk and were told we could claim our turkey after our game was over), and was then denied by another staffer at the end of the night because of corporate rules (must pay full price for lane/shoes) that were not clearly stated on adverts/posters for bowling alley. As much as I've enjoyed this location in the past I will be bringing my friends and funds to another establishment moving forward.

    Bagging pizzas for next business day. Disgusting.

I like that it's quarters because you could bring your own stash or if you don't use all of it, you can save the quarters for next time or use it in the real world. There's a variety of games from fighting to Mario kart to a ton of music beat games. We liked the drum and this one near the bathrooms. Lots of fun games (I just don't know the names). They're very loud and colorful. If you're new, they have tutorials which is nice (also makes gameplay a little longer). Most games are like $1 for 4-5 rounds - except for Mario kart which was kind of a scam. Overall, it's a lot of fun for dates or hangouts or to play something different than pinball machines. I did see a lot of toddlers and it's not a place for toddlers. Most toddlers would ask their parents to play a game but they would get bored or confused and leave after the parent inserted the coins to play said game. Take them to Chuck E.

My favorite part of this establishment is the speciality drinks named after characters (Kirby, etc.). It makes it so fun! I also feel like the drinks are reasonably priced. I thought the servers were nice, but getting drinks took a while.

I can't remember which course has the talking tree, but that was fun and unique. No matter which course you start on your last course will be the volcano. The volcano will erupt if you shoot the ball in the current location. If you don't, it has a water effect - if you are in the wrong place (or maybe the right place in the summer) you will get drenched with water. My nephew really enjoyed the shooting arcade which has funny and silly items in which to aim. There is a place to get food such as burgers, hotdogs, ice cream and dipping dots. There are also tables where you can eat your meal/dessert. There is a large parking lot with free parking. This is a really fun summer outing!

Late night, no reservation, no agenda -- straight to the arcade. Over 100 games, retro and modern mixed together , and the kind of layout that lets you drift from machine to machine without a strategy. The energy was good -- busy enough to feel alive, relaxed enough that we never felt rushed. That said, a few machines weren't working and still managed to swallow our points, which is frustrating when you're already paying to play. And if you're hoping for classics like DDR or Pac-Man, temper expectations -- the selection skews more toward ticket-redemption games than arcade purists might want. Some machines just didn't land for us. But here's the thing: we still had a good time. The vibe carried the night, the spontaneity made it memorable, and there's enough variety that you'll find your groove eventually. The two-story laser tag arena and bowling lanes looked worth coming back for on a proper visit. If you've driven past and wondered -- it's worth pulling over. Just flag down a staff member if a machine takes your points.
