I was bowling with a friend when Danielle had come over to fix our lane, she was apologetic for…read morebeing in the middle of another situation which I think is very admirable and should not go without being spoken of. She was polite, still fast despite her own thoughts, and very professional. While I was waiting for a ride, I witnessed her help several other people right when they asked her questions. I will absolutely be coming here more often. Previous staff did not surprise me in the slightest with their lack of care for the job, and overall melancholy attitude. Danielle however, seemed happy to be there, energetic, and eager to perform well. This restores some of my faith in people. Absolutely wonderful professionalism. On top of that, I was initially in lane 24, and had asked a staff member about the guard rails not going down, and was told that he'll get on it for me. But as soon as Danielle saw that the gutters were still up, several minutes later, without skipping a beat, she informed me of why the rails were staying up, and that she could transfer my friend and I to a different lane. Again, she is a wonderful worker who exhibited nothing less than perfection.

Incredible establishment with so many amenities!…read more My family has loved Great Escape for bowling parties, social outings and just fun for the kids in the arcade. Recently we enrolled in the learn to bowl class with Darla, who is an amazing teacher. Where else in the Central Iowa can you get professional help from a hall of fame bowler. The food is hands down the best I have had in a very long time. It was a perfect array of foods. From delicious wings, to incredible pizza, to the gourmet burgers. There is something for everyone on Great Escapes food menu. My personal favorite is the jalapeño popper burger. WOW! 5 stars is not enough for a diamond in the rough!! You can truly tell the owners take pride in their establishment. Always re-investing in their business. Run! Don't walk, to the best family entertainment center in Iowa!!

A Remarkable Birthday Experience - Truly Unforgettable!…read more We celebrated our twins' 6th birthday party at this bowling alley back in October 2024, and even months later, the experience still stands out as one of the most memorable events we've had as a family. Life got in the way of writing this sooner, but the level of care and professionalism we received from the staff deserves to be recognized, no matter how much time has passed. From the moment we started planning, the staff was beyond accommodating and attentive. Communication was seamless leading up to the big day, and they made every effort to ensure things ran smoothly from start to finish. On the day of the party, they assigned our group a dedicated support person who went above and beyond--keeping drinks filled, food warm, and everyone smiling. It felt like every detail, big or small, mattered to them. What really touched us most was the way they made our twins and their friends feel special, especially in the arcade area. Their kindness, patience, and energy created an unforgettable atmosphere for the kids, and left a lasting impression on every adult in the room. It's rare these days to find a team that takes pride in genuine customer service the way this crew did. They didn't just host a party--they created an experience, and it's why we will continue to celebrate our family birthdays here. Customer service is free, but this team gave it with heart, effort, and professionalism that went above and beyond expectations. Thank you for making our twins' birthday so special--we can't wait to come back!

What a great time and alot of fun for all ages. We had ages from 10-50 and all had a blast. If I had to say anything negative... it would have to be there is no air conditioning and they only had one floor fan which didnt do any good with the air circulation. Will definately return soon and will tell friends about it.
