    The advertising inside the bowling alley that was refused to be honored!
    Dave M.

    I brought my grandkids and family to Echo Lanes bowling alley on a Tuesday after 6pm, an Internet and on screens inside the establishment advertised " Tuesday Family night" False advertising is against the law! They refused to honor the advertising on the internet or on screen inside the premises even when I showed them that they were still advertising the prices! If you don't want to stand by the prices that YOU advertise then don't put it out there! This is criminal and needs to be investigated!! Not to worry to much because I only get screwed over once I NEVER RETURN! Let's see ,,, I paid for six people, three games, bought a couple pitchers of soda, four different appetizers and a bucket of beer! However the advertising for .50$ hot dogs was Refused to be honored even when I pointed it out to a manager!! Just want to make all aware of the unlawful advertising/sales practice of the Echo Lanes in Morris, Illinois! I will never be CHEATING out of my hard earned money at the establishment ever again! I live in Coal City and will take my money to another alley that stands by their advertising! Check with the Better Business Bureau for more information as there will be a formal complaint filed about this ASAP! As a consumer I hope all that reads this this post is made aware that the Echo Lanes in Morris, Illinois fragrantly practice in unlawful advertising practices to get unaware consumers in the door to be fleeced!

    We had my son's 12th birthday party here and it was great! The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. They were very accommodating. My son and his friends always had something fun to do and the kids absolutely LOVED the laser tag!! I would highly recommend this place and would book another party with them again! Support small business!

    Fun...

    Nice bowling alley but the owner is not nice at all. My son is a good boy, and simply asked her about a lost bowling ball and she started pointing her finger in his face and accusing him of stealing when he went out to the car to get another bowling ball. Birthday parties here are awful. The foods not too good but it's a bowling alley right... Theres no organization and the foods never done in time I know a few people including myself that won't bowl here strictly because of the owner. I'm only here now for a birthday party. I hope people quit having their parties here. They accually ripped my Aunt off 2 years ago charging her double for the extra stuff that was bought while the party was going on. She never got her money back because they claimed it wasn't paid for. we figure someone was pocketing the money.

    Extremely rude staff. Poorly organized. And what good is a package for 6 people that only comes with laser tag for 4? Absurd.

    This was my first time at Twisted Pin, and I was very impressed. The prices are pretty high but as…read morea non-bowler, I am not sure how they rank compared to other places. On the other hand, this place is also a little more high end compared to your old fashion bowling/dive bar places. The location was very easy to find. We used Google Navigation and it lead us directly to the place. If you miss the entrance, it might be a little annoying to backtrack but no big issues. Parking was no issues and it is very big compared to the size of the building. We showed up on a busy Wednesday where it is penny pins so you only pay a penny per pin you knock down. Essentially...the worst you are, the cheaper your game will be. Inside the building is very nice and clean. There are two entrances..one is a "restaurant" and the other is the decent sized arcade and bowling. There is a self serving beer tap. And they do serve food. They do a little star less due to the prices of the food as well. It is better than your traditional bar/bowling food but it is a little more expensive. Also, I do enjoy the service of the self serving beer tap. They had a lot of selections of beer, 1-2 seltzers, 1 cider and ~5 wine selection. Also, they do have a "limit" of ~32 oz where the bartender can allow you or less depending on how you act. I do appreciate that so while you can drink feely, no one is getting drunk. I think we were paying ~.60 cents an oz and it does tell you how much your drink will cost as you are pouring. Also, they do have a small water station will is greatly appreciated. The arcade is decently sized. They do have a lot of selections of games but it is not a place where I would go just for the arcade. The size is good for after bowling or while you are waiting for your lane. Overall, I am very impressed with this location. Food, self serving beer tap, and arcades... I am fan of Twisted Pins and I would be back in the future.

    Went here recently. It's been many years since I've been there and the whole place has been…read moremodernized. They changed names they've got all new lanes, got a pro shop, they got all sorts of crane games and video games etc. I did not bowl, but my kids all bowled with their cousins. What I didn't like, was we got there at 245 and the kids wanted to bowl for an hour, 3 games and there was really nobody on the main lanes except two of the lanes which were already in use and they didn't want to rent lanes to my kids because they said the Plainfield teachers group is coming in. And I'm sure they wouldn't be there till 4 o'clock but this is it like at 2:30 2:45 and so they made my kids rent a lane which cost more dollars an hour and the shoes were more and they had to rent a lane in the VIP section which had colored lights and video on the wall and because they're worried about taking care of this teachers group and school wasn't even close to being over yet but they just wanted to make money on whoever was there. So we got stiffed by having to pay a lot higher prices and I didn't like that. So of course my wife liked the fact that they had a pour your own beer area. With like 20 different beers, some wines, some seltzers etc. etc. And you give them your card upfront they give you a separate card which you wave over the selection that you want , and then it weighs by the ounce how much it pours for you and then charges you a fee. It was in the afternoon and I didn't feel like drinking although the wife drank with my nephew. That was a good thing but I'm really only gonna give them two & 1/2 stars because they were obviously didn't want to rent to us so they gave us the expensive lanes. I just didn't like the service so at our expense they made extra money which was wrong. I personally wouldn't go back.

    So much fun, beyond affordable, and great hours! This is an adult playground dream come true! Also…read moregreat for families just emphasizing adult fun bc it's so difficult to find anything like this! They're so much more than an arcade. Though it is pretty awesome with carnival games, old school and new age games, virtual reality games / motorcycles / cars, etc. There is a challenging, exiting go/cart track, huge slides, basketball and other courts, a maze with laser tag, and so much more. My favorites are the rides. They have a spinning, fast roller coaster. As well as an exciting giant drop that goes up and down instead of just one drop. My other favorite is the mini golf courses! Like the rides, they have two courses which are both so fun and completely different. One course is in the center of everything (similar to an outdoor course). The other course is in a separate area and is glow in the dark, which is always a fun change in my opinion. They have a full bar. Food is also served though unsure if it's plates, apps, tapas, or what exactly is served. Employees genuinely appear happy and are so polite, friendly, and considerate. We have already been three times in around 6-7 weeks so safe to say it's my new favorite spot. You know I'll be back and highly recommend to all ages and relationships looking for something fun and unique to do!

Tonight the lady bartender was rude, disrespectful and a witch to all guests from the time the first drink was ordered. In the back bar area there is 2 TV's and I asked to get both of them to the game and she was telling me that the football game can only be on one tv, which I know is a lie because every other year it works. We pay good money to rent this out and to only have one tv in the back with no sound is ridiculous. She then proceeded to call her boss and hand me the phone to talk to him. He seemed very nice and said yes it can be changed. I handed her the phone back and she hung up on her boss and told me he did not have anything to tell me, which is a lie because he told me he was going to tell her how to do it. Then she proceeded to throw digs at me when ever she came back in the bar area. Finally one of the guest had to change the channels because she could not figure it out. It was not only to me but every guest commented she was a witch to them also. We could not decide if she was all there- could not get orderes right or remember them, did not finish orderes before going on to the next customer. I guarantee I will never spend another dollar in that place.
