    people sitting in a bowling alley
    Larry L.

    Bowling, Birthday cake, and good times! My son wanted to go bowling for his birthday so I stop in KingPin to see about renting lanes. Once I got in though, I saw that they have party rooms that you can rent for a more intimate setting. So this is where the story gets a little strange for me. I was first greeted and trying to get information about the party room from Eric. He seemed reluctant to give such info, kind of bs'ing me. So after a few minutes I dealing with him I got somewhere with getting a name to talk to someone above him. I started to leave when the person he said I needed to talk to walk past me. I spoke to her, Mary, about what I wanted. She graciously help me and made it seem as though he could have done what she was doing instead of being.......... Eric was trying to tell her some bs policy he was told about booking a party the day before. He almost caused them to miss out on some money. Oh well, Mary got it straightened out. Well the time of the party was met. They provide a Party Coordinator, to oversee everything from issuing out bowling shoes, setting up lanes, ordering the food, and whatever else they can assist with at the bowling alley. Our guy, Dave, did a wonderful job at that and was friendly and helpful the whole time. The bowling lane that the kids bowled on had a light issue where the pins sat. The guys came and fix it after pausing the bowling for like 5 minutes. They just added time that the kids could bowl longer. I wanted to rate this place lower but I'm not going to be pretty because of one person. Everyone else was awesome, the party set up was what I expected, and the food provided by them was really good. If you're looking for a place to have a big gathering, this might be a good option to look into.

    Its December 27, Tuesday they have 1 poor woman working the desk. We counted up to 10 empty and have been waiting for over 30 minutes. Luckily we got something to eat and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the three cheese hamburger!!! Place is clean but poorly managed.

    stopped in during our mini trip. the staff was VERY nice and accommodating. great prices as well. will definitely be back on our future trip!

    They're racist they didn't let us play. They said they were social distancing but they weren't because the tables are close together.

    I played 10 dollars to join a group and I couldn't play with them so I has to play again. Then the gate broke. Don't waste your time!

The bowling alley is cool and the menu looked good but we didn't order. Other people's food didn't look bad . The attached arcades looked like a mini Dave and busters but we didn't care to play.

    CHRISTMAS REVIEW;…read more After experiencing Di Donato's charismas magic in 2020, I've been eager to come back. My family purchased tickets for the Christmas experience for the day after Thanksgiving. We opted for the first ticket time at 4:45. Parking was plentiful, and if you pre purchased your tickets you could obtain your arm band at the ticket booth with just your name. Once under the arch & warmly greeted, we were directed to the train. Even thought it wasn't completely dark when we arrived, the lights were still magical and my kids loved the train. With admission you get 1 train right which does 2 laps. After the train we made our way to meet Santa. It was a private meet and great with a great looking Santa. The kids were gifted train whistles. Next we walked around the display to enjoy the falling snow, meet frosty, purchasing hot chocolate and meet mrs. clause. Outdoors probably took about an hour. Afterwards we made our way inside for the included bowling. After about a 10 minute wait we headed to our lane and had a great time. Di Donato's knows how to create some Christmas magic!

The space that was the casino has been transformed into an arcade/games/ attraction oasis. We made our way to a kiosk to purchase a reusable/reloadable game card so the kids could enjoy a variety of attractions and then we were off! Lucky Snake has an impressive variety of games and attractions suitable for toddlers (though limited for them) up to full grown adults. They also have a roller rink with skate rentals for an additional fee, and a massive water park (it was closed during our late night visit). There was a racing track, mini golf, billiards area, and a massive amount of traditional arcade games, too numerous to name, but I saw skeet ball, traditional pinball machines, basketball/football games, claw machines, and two-person challenge games to name a few. The game card I purchased was for $50 and more than covered their time here. Lucky Snack still has the hotel with folks lined up to check in/out. There wee also places to eat along with rows of snack vending machines, and the bar, still standing from the Showboat days, eagerly awaiting the adult that needed a break from the overstimulation of hundreds of arcade machines and kids in the background ‍. All in all, a great place for families to take their kids, especially on a hot, sunny day to duck the heat and humidity (especially the water park option) and for a wonderful change of pace from the usual boardwalk activities.

The only downside was that some of the arcade machines like the basketball games and a bunch of others weren't working properly & ended up taking my money. That was def frustrating. There's a full bar for the adults which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a fun place with plenty to do but they could improve by making sure all the machines are working as they should.
