The man (owner) of this place was quite rude to her and the youth. They had some questions for him, they also had issues with some of the equipment. When trying to speak with the owner he rolled his eyes, seemed annoyed, and turned his back to them. After paying my team member asked for an itemized receipt, he refused to give her one. When she returned to our centre, our office admin called to ask for a pricing breakdown. He was extremely rude, using inappropriate language, called my team member a " a lying little B****, he then went on to say we can go F*** ourselves. All because he was asked a few questions and needed to do his job. Needless to say, I myself or anyone from our business will be not supporting a place like this.

I emailed to ask when I would be able to reserve a spot for January 5th. I received an email stating that "I could go somewhere else, we don't want you here". I called Victoria bowl to speak to the manager. The man who answered the phone refused to let me speak to a manager, then called me a cunt bitch and was told to come down here to the bowling alley to talk to him in person. Started swearing at me calling me a fucking bitch etc. I will be going there TODAY with my father and the police to address them in person because NOW i am scared to take my boys there. Believe me your bowling alley won't be the last 5 pin bowling alley for long. I do not know how you can speak to this when I can clearly hear patrons in the background. I have also recorded the individual who was swearing at me and disrespecting me to no end. We will see you in a few hours. Good luck

Wow, this place has everything! Bingemans is not just a waterpark, it has mini golf, beach…read morevolleyball, indoor play gym, bowling, arcades, canoeing and campgrounds. As we only visited the waterpark, my review will only be based on what my family experienced. Bingemans is located in Kitchener and is easily accessible from all directions. The waterpark opens at 10am and we got there at 11am and still got premium parking (like the 4th spot from the entrance). The park does allow for one bottled beverage per person and does not allow outside food, but I still snuck in a few granola bars and bear paws. To get to the waterpark, you enter this huge facility that houses the arcade and indoor play gym. As we only had passes to access the waterpark, the 3-story indoor play gym would be an additional $10.95 per child. The arcade is pay as you go. For the waterpark, there are only 3 tiers in terms of height restrictions - under 42", 42"-48", over 48". Unfortunately, my daughter was only one inch shy of 48" so the only thing she could do was the carpet slide (you can have up to 4 racers at once), wave pool and the splash and play area. The splash and play had the big tilting bucket that dumps a whole lot of water on you and 3 different set of slides. For a kiddie structure, the slides are quite fast and you do get wet once you hit the bottom. I felt totally comfortable letting my 5&6yo roam free on this structure. The waves in the wave pool was weak, but the walk in design plus the circular pool area made up for it. I didn't go on any of the tube rides but it looked like there's a line at the bottom of the slide where you wait for the next available tube, then carry the tube up the stairs and wait for your turn on the slide. There are plenty of chairs all around the park. We didn't use their showers or change rooms, so I can't comment on that. My only complaint, and it's a huge one, is that the water was ICE COLD! The temp today was close to 30 degrees Celsius, but the water was frigid. The kids didn't seem to mind when they're playing in the water, but once you get out or was like me, just walking through the water, it was quite cold. Please heat your wave pool!!! There's so much that Bingemans have to offer and I can totally see my family returning in the near future. I know they have Octoberfest, KinderFest and Scream Park coming up, so check them out!

OK, I say kids, but they also serve beer here so I guess it's supposed to be for both. Either that, or for the parents whose kids are driving them nuts. We paid $10/person for an hour including shoe rental, which was a pretty decent price, but after seeing the balls, we realized we made a mistake lol. Overall, it's an OK place to bowl. Great for kids, but only kids. Next time, I'd try a place with at least 10 pins and bigger balls.

There seemed to be many food and drink options, and what was amazing was the arcade (appropriate for both younger and older children/humans).

The five pin bowling is in the basement next to the Tavola restaurant. It is a little older than some of the 'big box' bowling places around but has ~14 lanes, some pinball machines, nice shoes, and it was a perfect Friday night out with our two young kids. They have guard rails and small bowling shoes for them which added to their excitement. It's licensed and they serve some snacks but we did not stay long enough to try anything. It was really clean and organized. Loved that they had the glow in the dark/disco bowling. The other lanes were occupied by large groups of kids (birthday?) and other families out for some fun. I'd definitely go back....a bit more interactive than our regular movie night.

Really appreciate the new owners for refreshing the seat covers…read more Fun place but still needs a little TLC. Great bar food. Sadly, always about one server short. Often they never come back to notice your glass is empty. Arcade is okay but there way more games to win reward "points" than just plain fun ones. Bowling is cool too. Not worth the extra fee for cramped VIP lanes though. Floors need a deep clean especially in the bathrooms. The glass windows in the bar booths (facing the arcade) may never have been cleaned or dusted.

We just bowled at the Burlington location and the experience was horrible!…read moreI paid for the VIP experience which was not even close to a VIP experience! The private area we had was not private as six teenage boys were to the right of us and we had to continue to ask them to get out of our lane area. The food area was filthy as was the screen where the scores and food and drink were ordered. The bowling machine broke down twice and the automatic scoring system screwed up on the 9th and 10th frames on two games -just so frustrating! The food we ordered took over 35 mins to receive and we only ordered potatoe sins and two beverages! We will not be returning to Splitville especially considering I paid almost $100 for 75 mins of bowling!!

While looking over the various reviews for this place before booking my child's birthday party…read morehere, I was quite anxious and worried about the poor reviews. Various one stars that spoke of poor service and overall experience. That being said, many of the reviews are quite old, ranging between 2-3 years ago, so I thought I wouldn't mind them and I'd go and find out for myself how they are. I am quite glad in my decision, and I want to set the record straight. While they may have done poorly in the past, the splitsville I saw the other day was remarkable in their service, and in their staff. I never write reviews, although I frequently check them, but I had to write this one as I felt their poor rating was beyond unfair. Here is why. For starters, their service was both fast and friendly. We've recently been bowling since our party and haven't been able to decide the cheapest option (by game vs. Hour) but the front desk people are always so kind and helpful in that regard. Comparing exact prices, telling us about the deals, etc. Some names I've come to know are Aidan, Jodie and Kiara, two of which helped host the party I had awhile back for my daughters fifth birthday. Kiara helped us get the shoes and was very patient despite the constant switching of sizes! I wish everyone was like that! Through various spills (tends to happen with 10+ 5 year olds!), needs for ramps, and constant changes for who wants bumpers, my party host Jodie was there to help. My daughter and her friends wanted pictures of themselves and the cake and she was seemingly happy to help, in between helping us with tons of food orders and making sure we always had what we needed. When she was caught up bringing food out or looked busy, Kiara was a huge help too! We had a party room and she helped us clean up a lot, and refilled our drinks too. Both ladies were very kind, not just to me, but my daughter and her friends too. When I go to book my sons party in a few months, I hope I can request Jodie as the same hostess. On games desk, a young gentleman with quite the bit of energy was very excited to help us- and friendly too! All the girls had five dollar game cards and often had questions about how the games worked, and he was always happy to answer them. He was so patient- I could never be! I don't remember his name, but he was very helpful. Our food was great. Our order was messed up at some point (cheese pizza instead of pep pizza) but whoever was serving us (not sure of the name. Something funny with a K) dealt with it and did so quickly. We got our correct order not long after and didn't mind due to the efficiency of how it was handled. The manager Steve greeted us at first when we came into the building as our party host was coming over, and he was very friendly and shook my hand. I saw him running around a bunch during both of our stays, and I'm glad to know he's a manager who does real work and helps the employees. My daughter, husband and I plan to come here more often after such positive experiences both times. The staff service was unprecedented, really pulling together the feeling of the place, the food was quite good and at a fair price (it is a bowling alley however, so be ready to break in that wallet!), and we had no problems while actually bowling. Clean establishment, loved the glow and the dark and the fun music. Thank you for making my daughters experience, and my own, a fun one!
