Would strongly not recommend solely based on interaction with management and lack of care for customer experience.

The machine would get stuck on a loop and make the same person bowl over and over again and then not even give the score correctly. The machine also would pick up the pins to sweep the lane and then drop them before it swept making all the scoring incorrect or giving us more pins then we needed. It was the most frustrating time I've had bowling. Most likely won't be back unless all of this is fixed. Management was so kind but you can't bowl and have fun because the machines glitch constantly.

The old guy who works here is a complete asshole. The ceilings are fucked up and have severe water damage. They don't have a website and their hours aren't posted anywhere so you always have to call. This place is also sooooo dirty. The rental shoes, tables, and bowling balls looks and feel like they haven't ever been properly cleaned. The drive from Ithaca to Cortland is worth it because cortland has some nice bowling alleys. The bowl-o-drome in Ithaca is terrible. Don't waste your time or money!

It was a nice way to pass time or burn the food from a local diner. I will come back!
