They offered a $10 do anything* pass for the whole night with w exceptional feather bowling and axe throwing. That leaves about 5 games. It was so empty we were the only ones in that area so we never had to wait to play anything. We had a $15 pretzle with 3 dipping sauces. It had enough salt to cure a whole cow. But was very good. We had 4 beers total and the bill with tip was just under $40. Plus the $20 for the activities and it was a $60 date night (about 2 hours). A bit pricy, but would have been worse if it was busier. Then we would have just drank more beer. I did drop a star because I saw some food prep when the kitchen doors were open. No masks. No gloves. Hope they washed their hands (I know one couldn't have after bringing used beer glasses back to the bar then going and immediately adding cheese to a plate.

My bestie and I took our sons to Thunderbowl Lanes for a little post-Mother & Son Dance fun. It had…read morebeen a while since we'd been there, and while the kids had a good time overall, we were shocked by the cost--especially for parents who aren't even bowling. We paid $11 per child for an hour of bowling, plus $8 each for shoe rentals, which we felt was reasonable. But what surprised (and disappointed) us was being told that we had to pay $20 each just to be in the building with our kids--even though we weren't bowling. Our boys are six and five years old, so of course they couldn't bowl alone, and we couldn't just leave them there. It honestly didn't make sense, and it felt like an unnecessary charge. So for just one hour of bowling for two kids, the total came to $67--and that's before even touching the arcade. To be fair, the manager was understanding and did give us two $15 arcade cards, which our sons loved. That gesture was appreciated and helped soften the situation. We did have some issues during the game--balls got stuck, the scoring system glitched, and we had to wait for staff to fix it, which took away from our play time. Unfortunately, the system doesn't pause your session when this happens, so time was lost while waiting, and that felt frustrating given the hourly rate. One highlight: the cosmic bowling ambience! With the glowing lights, music, and fun energy, it's a really exciting environment for kids and definitely adds to the experience. In the end, while the kids had fun, the overall experience felt overpriced. I hope they reconsider charging parents who are simply supervising young children. For now, I'd say it isn't worth it not to bowl.

I came here Sunday evening to bowl with my girlies. We ordered drinks and food at the bar while we…read morewaited for every one to arrive because they said once we paid for bowling our time would start. I ordered the chicken bacon flatbread and Tito's with pineapple, this was around 6:20 PM. It's now 7:43 PM and I have YET to get my food. EVERYTHING the other members of our party ordered that came out was ice cold. I am at the bar inquiring about my food and they are saying the kitchen is severely backed up, but when I ordered there were not that many people here. And you can't tell me they are back there hand twirling pizza dough, so not sure what the issue is. I came to the bar to try to ensure that when my flatbread comes it is not ice cold after an almost two hour wait. It FINALLY arrived...and was ice cold. I asked the lady if they could put it back in the oven/microwave what the f**k ever they are using to make it, she agreed and said it would be ready in two minutes .she brought it out about five minutes later and it was ...kind of warm. I was over it at that point and accepted it because I was drinking on an empty stomach. The flatbread was decent but definitely not worth the 2 hour wait. Bowling itself was fun, the lanes were clean, no malfunctions and plenty of balls.

We were able to bring in catered food and had a nice area with a large table for gifts, cake, etc. It seemed like they had assigned us about half of the bowling alley; I saw non-family members on one side when we first got there, and others coming in as we were leaving. That left us plenty of space and four or five lanes to bowl in. Bowling and shoes seemed to be included with the rental. While it was a nice party, this place does have a couple of quirks. For one, I could not find a weight on any of the balls I tried. Isn't that kind of important information for bowlers? I had to just keep trying until I found one that fit my hand. Another weird thing was that they combined groups of bowlers and moved us across lanes. Like, I was bowling in a group assigned to lane 13, but the system would shuffle us in with lane 14 so sometimes you'd bowl on one side and sometimes on the other. This made it so that sometimes you bowled twice like one turn right after the other, and sometimes you sat and waited for a long time while everyone else cycled through. I really just did not understand the logic there at all; it did not seem to make the game go any faster or anything. Finally, Belmar has that classic bowling lane smell: decades of cigarette smoke seeped into the surroundings. Perfectly fine, nothing outstandingly amazing or horribly awful. A solid 3 stars.

The place is colorful and bright and even has TV's in between the score screens at each lane. The lanes however are wood and are very pitted and warped and look like they cant be sanded anymore without the nails popping through. You can notice the ball moving because of the warped boards and pits, and it is very frustrating. They need to fix the lanes if they can or upgrade the lanes to synthetic and this place would be a really great family bowling alley. I am sad because I loved the facility, but will probably never bowl there again because of the poor lanes.

The staff at Woodhaven Bowl-A-Rama (formerly Woodhaven Lanes) has always been helpful and friendly. Any issues I've had with my lane or bowling experience are quickly and efficiently handled. Bowling ball stuck? Score not updating? Let the front desk know and they'll tackle it right away. Recently, my office held it's Christmas party here (any guess who suggested it?). We had an absolute blast - we bowled for 2 hours, had plenty to eat and drink, all at a very reasonable price. The staff also constantly checked in with us - making sure everything was correct, that the food was good, and if we needed anything else. Since we had a few more people at the party that we originally anticipated, our games took a little longer. Was it an issue? Nope. They let us finish the games we were in when time expired at no extra charge. Woodhaven Bowl-A-Rama is a great place to bowl - let it be solo, with family or friends, or even with your entire office. Highly recommended.
