I visited Humdingers in Paramus earlier this week with high hopes for a fun outing, but unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The first disappointment was the pricing. The cost of bowling was exorbitant, especially considering the quality of the lanes and equipment. It felt like we were paying a premium for a subpar experience. most of the time the ropes attached to the pins would knock down the pins. To make matters worse, the food was downright appalling. It tasted like microwaved, low-grade prison food. if you are going to charge $19 for a pizza at least serve it hot and add some seasoning. Tossed it. The lack of quality and flavor was astonishing, and it significantly detracted from the overall experience. With such sky-high prices for lackluster offerings, I couldn't help but feel like I was being ripped off. There are plenty of other entertainment options in Paramus that offer better value for money. Overall, my visit to Humdingers was a big disappointment. I won't be returning, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to others. Save your time and money and explore the many other fun options available in the area. read more

There was a batting cages here I'm a baseball player really like it would come here again but I live in north Carolina and it in New Jersey if you are a baseball player you should come here read more

PROS: The people there are very nice and the place is clean. They have party rooms, batting cages, an arcade with prizes, and obviously bowling. Come and get a refreshing snack as well as a dessert too! The prices are reasonable compared to other bowling places too CONS: It's hard to find the place since it's tucked away in this plaza OVERALL: I would recommend coming to this place regardless of age. Just make sure you use GPS read more

Oh boy...this place.... it's like if you ordered a Dave N Busters off wish.com. Wait for bowling was 2 hours so didn't get a chance to try it. The food: Oversalted fries that are limper than me when i see Amy Schumer, bland tasteless food, and if you want drinks they have the most 3rd world, off brand options imaginable. Need a drink to help you escape from the Twilight Zone? Too fuckin bad. They don't serve alcohol (unless you want a full bottle of wine) and if you do BYOB they confiscate that shit from you and only serve you if you order (and show proof of) food. For all the potential this place has its an absolute shitshow that shoots itself in the foot with all of the stupid decisions being made here. Update: the nachos definitely caused a severely upset stomach...fuck this place Get some name brands, get a liquor license, season ya damn food, and for the love of God get ownership that can ACTUALLY male this place reach its potential instead of being a shit knockoff of Dave N Busters. (Staff is mad friendly I ain't got beef with them) read more

Always a great place to enjoy with the family. There's something to do for everyone. They offer bowling, batting cages, arcade, bar area, food, and more. This is a BYOB establishment, you just need to buy something from the snack bar which is a good idea anyway. We had the giant pretzel with cheese and mustard and it was really good. They also host private parties which is nice too. Plenty of free parking on site. Recommend this place to everyone with or without kids. The staff is also friendly and helpful. read more

This is a cool place with many things to do! We came for a birthday party! There's bowling and arcades! The pizza, boneless bbq chicken and fries were good! It was packed for a Saturday!! We'll be back!! read more

Highly recommend hosting a birthday party at Humdingers! From start to finish we had a great experience. Booking the party was very easy and the events manager was great to work with. The day of the party we were assigned two hosts who were engaging, organized, and very friendly! This allowed us (as parents) to fully enjoy our son's party. Most importantly, our son and his friends had a blast! read more

Place is awesome we had so much fun had a blast doing bowling a little pricey food is decent

Super cute arcade & bowling alley. Date night for me and I had a really good time. It's a BYOB however wine and beer only. The food was halfway decent. We went early like 2, it started getting busy around 5:30. You get reloadable cards for the arcade games. The games are good and they even have the virtual experiences available. I would deff go here again. Pre teens and teens would love it here! read more

Went here on a weekday and it was a good time. Between Bowling, batting cages, and arcade games, this place has a lot to offer. Also food was good and staff was very nice and accommodating. This place only serves wine, but it's also a BYOB (no hard liquor) nice place to have fun and looking forward to coming back again. read more

We went there last minute, our cousins from Virginia recommended we visit your place. The place was amazing and very clean. The food was very good and the staff were outstanding. The staff could not be more polite. We will recommend to our entire circle of friends and family. Thank you read more

I'm happy. I found skeeball 5 minutes from my home. $7.50 for 10 games. The place was clean and parking was easy. read more

this place scammed me, I thought I was going to get tickets but no. this place is lit scamming little kids. I must've got at least 1,300 but no because the points of the slot mashions don't work. also the fact that they dident let me extrange Money for points even 4. So dont go here!! My kids also said it was scam. read more

I arrived about 430pm for a bowling lane and was told it was a 2 1/2 hour wait. No prob it's a Saturday I understand. I kept getting texts throughout the wait to go to the front desk. When I go to them, they said they sent it as a mistake and that "you only waited 1 1/2 hours". I continue to wait and I continued to get texts to go to the front desk. Still not ready. The last text I got was around 630. They never ever said that my lane was ready. There really isn't anything special with this place. Weird layout. Good food though. read more

Came here for a friends birthday party and had a blast. The venue was BYOB for the party but they also had a full bar with interesting cocktail specials. We rented a few bowling lanes for two hours and then enjoyed the arcade. They also have batting cages. Barfood -- pizzas, wings, jalapeño poppers -- we tasty. Fun place -- great for a chill hangout or party. read more

Came here on a date and had a good time. I like the variety of games. One thing I didn't like is one game charged for each section of the game, felt like a little bit of waste to spend the money on that. Also the air hockey table is not great, which is disappointing as that's one of my favorite games. Didn't get to do the bowling or batting cages but looks like it would be fun! read more

Humdingers is a super fun place for a group night out, family night out or even a date night out! The facility houses interactive bowling lanes, batting cages, a full hi-tech arcade, laser tags and a full service cafe. They also have private rooms for events and parties! Definitely a fun place to check out! read more

Humdingers is a really entertaining place. The arcade games are amazing it is a great place to set up a birthday party. However, the food is strictly mid. The burgers are good, but everything else tastes bland. It is a great place though! read more

EXPENSIVE. Didn't quite realize how pricey it was before coming. One hour on a weekend and you're down $50 for just 2 people. You definitely pay for the experience. But I just wanted to bowl so I'd opt for the one in Hackensack next time. Personally, I'd just visit a chuck e cheese if you have kids who are into arcades (or dave and busters for adults) and just go to an actual batting cage if you want to practice a few swings. If money isn't an issue, then I'd recommend this place for you. Though I still think this place is over charging for what you're getting. Good for a one time experience. Humdingers looks new and clean. it's very beautiful state of the art establishment, I'll give them that! read more

Humdingers - Arcades Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Came here for a quick outing. Experience overall was just ok. We got there on a Saturday around 6:30pm. It was overly packed. The wait for bowling was 3 to 4 hours. They don't pre-book the batting cages you just look for when a batting cage is free but we never got a chance to get in during our time. Some of the games were fun but not to many updated ones to chose from. read more

Service turned horrible...I used to come here often my latest experience was shockingly awful . Went here a couple days ago with my nephew I had asked for help with one the games because it was out of service, I asked this young woman named Sophia that worked that day. She gave me attitude and rolled her eyes at me and mumbled something under her breathe and then proceeded to make me super uncomfortable with flirting with one of her staff members on top of everything, won't be coming back until she's gone you should really reevaluate your staff members.. disappointed. read more

We go here to use the batting cages bc the prices are reasonable. The bowling alley plays pop and dance music. Great for families. My son got hurt and management stayed with us to report it. They gave him a consolation prize. He was ok. Great staff. read more

Great place to hangout with the kids! They have all the activities a kid could possibly want in one place! Reasonable price and it's byob which is a bonus! read more

This place is a little hidden gem off of the highway. Put $20 on a ticket card and had a good hour of fun! Batting cages, arcade games, bowling, and this really cool laser maze (pretty much the movie Entrapment in real life)! Fun for all ages. They don't have a liquor license but there is a bar setting and it's BYOB so that's a fun loophole! Great place to take kids too! read more

I bought a groupon. They told me the wait would be 40 min. I look at the lanes & 7 are open. They said because of birthday parties, the parties didn't start till over 45 min after we got there. I was watching. Over an hour later I said this is BS, I went to the counter & they told me they texted. I was sitting there on the benches in front of them waiting while the kids played in the arcade. I will cancel the groupon & get a refund. I have read reviews where others have said they get the shaft if they say groupon. The teenage staff are completely clueless. It's not my cup of tea, I'll leave it at that. Read the screenshots of his response to me on Facebook. They actually encouraged me to go to Chucky Cheese! I gladly will. read more

Humdingers is a great place. Paramus really needed a space like this!! My review is positive and based on the facilities they have - not really the service because I visited on a very quiet Tuesday night w/ few friends to catch up. Literally 4 other guests at Humdingers aside from us four, so naturally service was great. This place is BYOB so be sure to bring your own. Also there is a cork fee for wine: you basically have to buy a food item. They have decent selection of basic food and carvel ice cream. We had the mozzarella sticks which were nice but expensive. There are batting cages, arcade section and a bowling lanes. You have a card and load a certain amount of money and then just swipe at all the games/batting cages. Arcade games are anywhere form $0.50 - $2.50. There is a fun laser room in the back that involves maneuvering through the lasers. I'm going to list a few of the arcade games here: - four and two person air hockey table - car and motorcyle racing games. - large screen PacMan - Minion Bopping - Walking Dead and Terminator shooting game - skeeball (3) - Basketball Hoops (3) - Crossy Road Game I didn't go bowling this time but check out Groupon! There was a great deal on there - not sure what it would be otherwise. I'll update my review when I visit on a busier evening but I will certainly consider coming back - I enjoyed the arcade aspect the most. read more

Took my 10 year old son to a birthday party hosted here by a classmate -- and hung around a bit to try some food and basically vet some of the prior reviews on Yelp. Ok -- so it is pricey -- but I'm not sure what isn't pricey in northern Bergen County these days. If you want "all in one entertainment" like food, beers, bowling, batting cages and arcade games under one roof -- there aren't too many choices locally. I'm all for convenience when it comes to the occasional kids parties or a quick night out with our multi tasking oriented boys -- so the pricing seemed fair for the choice of offerings -- and its only a 10 minute drive from home. Place was empty on a Wednesday afternoon -- as you might expect. I ordered some food while watching the boys recreate. Had a properly grilled and seasoned flank steak over mixed greens with a good olive oil and vinegar dressing. At $12 this was a nice portion -- and like everything else -- on the pricier side. The good news is it's made to order and they bring it to your table -- or you can hang on a plush leather couch if you prefer to chill and watch one of the dozens of TV's in the joint while you graze. The kids had a blast at the batting cages and the arcade was plenty big enough and interesting for their age group of about 15 youngsters. No bowling with this party but some folks who were rolling with their children said they were pleased with the lanes. Look -- if its only bowling you want I would pass this up and go to a local bowling alley (like Brunswick lanes in Fairlawn) where the bowling is bigger and more conventional and the beer and food is much cheaper in every respect. I can see how this place might disappoint a 20-something looking for a night out with friends to tune up (it's BYO but with rules) and the gaming is not much of a challenge for an adult gamer. But if you have pre-teens to entertain and want to give them different options for an hour or two (while you lay into your BYO) -- this is a serviceable destination. Tip for Owners: You might wanna think about adding a pool hall area where the combination of BYO and your hourly rates might work better for the millennials and even codgers like me. ;) read more

We recently had our son's 11th birthday party at Humdinger's and it was amazing. We worked with Laura (Events Director) and Chenoa to plan the party. Everything was clear and easy to plan. When we arrived Alexey and Greg, the party coaches took over. Having 15, eleven year old's to manage is not easy. Alexey and Greg kept them engaged and having a blast. The food was far better than I expected. My son said it was his best birthday party yet, so mission accomplished. read more

We dropped by this place to check out their bowling alley and batting cage. The bowling alley appears to be smaller than the typical local bowling alleys but I can be wrong. I opted not to play but the bowling space seems fun for kids and families. We played the batting cage and I had a lot of fun. It was my first time at a batting cage and I will definitely be returning. The arcade games aren't bad but not enough. They have a pretty good eating area. The place overall seems clean and well kept. read more

My husband and I love to bring my 5 year old here, it's always super clean and there's lots of fun games to play with your child. The staff are very helpful, I want to thank Derek for being super helpful today my son spilled soda and he quickly came to help!! Thank you Derek for giving the best customer service today. read more

Decent food, the kids love all there is to do. From the arcade to the batting cages to the bowling alley. The only downside is the game to ticket/prize ratio. I would say to save up the tickets for a bigger prizes. It's a solid 4/5 read more

This place is a yes and no for me. I hate that the bowling is by time- and they don't have enough lanes so once your time is up you're done. But the other games are fun. The air hockey table is always fun, the batting cages was a great way to find out how terrible of a player I am LOL, and it was a fun place for my nephews 12th bday. The kids had tons of fun. As far as the food goes, I wasn't a fan-- the pizza tasted like cardboard and the chicken fingers were under done, but the fries were good. I did enjoy bringing my own bottle of wine, it made the kids birthday better. So come for a kids birthday but don't come for an adult game night lol. It's filled with kids. read more

Had my son's 6th birthday party this past weekend at Humdingers. Had 16 kids and about 30 adults. Pros: Place is very spacious-perfect for kids and adults. I didn't really try the food but I heard positive things about the wraps and boneless chicken. The place is new and has good parking, clean bathrooms, food, carvel and wine for sale. They offer batting cages, arcade and bowling. Kids had a blast. Adults had a blast. We all had a blast! They allowed me to arrive early to decorate! This was a huge part for me because I am a decorating fanatic! The party planning crew-Breanna specifically was great prior to the day because she followed up with me, was very responsive and informative. Cons: We had 2 party hosts helping us and they were perfect for the kids but we could have used an extra pair of hands at times. Since I had so many adults, i wanted to make sure they were drinking the beers and wine I provided and there was a delay in refilling my ice buckets at times due to timing and less hands. My hosts, however, did the best they could and they were great. The bowling and beginning of our party was a bit delayed and confusing. Ie:we weren't sure how to begin exactly. Do we enter kids names? Did the venue do? We were puzzled and delayed int he beginning due to this. All else was great but I wish there would have been a bit more organization or division between my party and the rest of the Humdingers guests. For example, we left the table alone a few times and food was gone and beer . We all ended up taking turns guarding our table while the kids were in their own little party room singing happy bday . A definite must try if you have kids! read more

Fun family place! Great games and batting cages are a bonus! Friendly staff, will definitely go back.

This place is great to visit! Got a bunch of arcades that you want to play either by yourself or with friends. The staff is nice, shout out to Edwin who helped us with claw machines. It was nice talking to him and getting few tips from him read more

Awesome Time!! we had our sons 6th birthday (Nicholas) party here and we were beyond happy!! I would like to give a great shout out to our hosts Connor and Maanav!!! these 2 young gentleman were over the top - beyond !! profiessional - fun - attentive and... they worked their magic with 18 - Six year olds - thats talent!! Great job !! From start to finish Humdingers did a perfect job!! They also recently expanded the arcade which just made it event better! -Highly recommend Humdingers!!! read more

My daughter's 10th birthday was celebrated here and it was the best choice! From impeccable communication with the party planner Sarah who was beyond patient in the emails to the hosts taking a weight off my shoulders so I could focus on the adult guests. I would do it again and my daughter had a blast! read more

Marcus provided me with great service and he made sure all my needs were met. He deserves a raise and he was the kindest person i've ever met. read more

BYOB = winning Bowling = winning Arcade = winning Batting cages = winning Fun for the whole family and I get to drink my favorite wine for cost. The food isn't bad and offers some healthy options. The various activities could satisfy most kids. Mine loves the ski ball - I mean two hours later and she's still at the ski ball. The place is new and modern and clean - which is no easy feat with a bunch of kids running around. My biggest complaint is the staff. On my most recent two visits the wait staff for the bowling area was in the corner talking to each other or off goofing around, while we were waiting and waiting for cups, ice, etc etc (And they were rude and seemed annoyed we were even asking for napkins or whatever else we needed.) If they had better trained staff would def give them four stars. Nice place to come with the kids. read more
