    a bowling alley
    Shannah H.

    Our friend invited us to a night of bowling. She warned us we were headed to a low rent, smoke filled dive of a bowling alley. She might as well told us she had a winning lottery ticket to split with us - we were all over this joint. Lakes Lanes reminds me of what bowling is - a fun game that has some seriously good players. Lakes Lanes is where you take your custom shoes and custom ball and no one looks twice at you. Beer is cheap, you pick the juke box music and there's not a game of laser tag, laser lights or a cosmo cocktail around. It's perfect in every way, the way things used to be before we became addicted to extra.

    My husband and Mother in law wanted to go bowling and the Lakes Lane were the only one offering a great package to accommodate our family on this day. They were practicing social distancing and there were only 2 families there when we arrived. The pool table and dart area had a very nice setup when you come through the door. My apologies for not having more pic. I took some and obviously didn't save them... My nieces and nephews really enjoyed themselves bowling but mainly I think they were just there for the food lol... some of the lanes were closed off and not being used due to COVID but it was still fun just to be out for a little.

    Old school bowling alley and everybody is very friendly. The food is fantastic for a bowling alley. Whoever thought a bowling alley would actually have a good food. Will be back! Thanks!

    Walked in and immediately had to walk out. I thought I would give this place a shot to appease my no-frills father. Even he couldn't stand it. Overpowering smell of cigarette smoke as you enter. Keep walking and smell the distinct second hand smoke. Absolutely horrible. Clearly not kept up inside or out (trash littered in front of the entrance). Don't waste your time, unless lung cancer is on your list of life wishes.

    Monster Golf is located a stone's throw from Stonebriar Mall. This is our preferred Monster Golf…read morelocation for the course itself. The artwork and animatronics are spot-on, really creative and entertaining. They are proud of their designs, and each location is a little bit different. It's an indoor course you play under UV lights for the "glow in the dark" effect. We find it one of the more affordable mini golf courses ($13/adult, $11/child/senior). It must also be very well-maintained, because we've been coming in for 5+ years now and I have never once thought, "Oh, this part here is getting worn down" or is dirty or needs to be replaced. The staff is friendly and genuinely want you to have a good time. We occasionally avail ourselves of the mini bowling and arcade (there are price packages if you want to play multiple things), but the mini golf is our jam. Anyone sensitive to strobe-light effects will have to stay away, though.

Can't remember last time I went to or saw an indoor mini golf place, but given that it was a bit warm that afternoon and it was October, indoor-monster-themed-mini-golf was the perfect mix. We really enjoyed the quick and simple layout of the course and more so, all the unique monster-themed paintings scattered throughout the course. Our little one had a great time and we did as well. After finishing the mini golf, we enjoyed their small arcade area and our son was able to get some cool monster-themed prizes with his tickets. I really liked the theme and how unique this place was, compared to the other kids places of this variety (Dave and Busters, Chuck E Cheese, etc). After our weekend in Frisco, Monster Mini golf was actually one of the highlights of the trip and the friendly staff made it all the better. If you're looking for a different, fun outing for you and the kids, go check out Monster Mini Golf.

    This was one of the most disappointing customer experiences we've had, not because of a rule--but…read morebecause of how it was handled. Our six-year-old son loves racing. He's been racing regularly since early November at another Andretti location and has already been officially verified as meeting the height requirement for the junior track. We came to this location excited, with family in town, expecting the same consistency. Instead, he was denied access based on a manager's visual guess from behind the counter. No one measured him. No policy was clearly explained. No customer records were checked. And the manager refused to even come out to engage directly. If height requirements are about safety (which we fully respect), then they should be enforced objectively and consistently. Guessing from a distance is not safety--it's laziness and poor leadership. What made this worse was the complete lack of empathy. Watching a child who loves racing go from excited to confused and disappointed--without explanation or care--was heartbreaking and entirely avoidable. The Andretti name stands for precision and professionalism. What we experienced here was the opposite: disengaged management, inconsistent policy enforcement, and a total breakdown in customer experience. We didn't ask for special treatment. We expected competence, consistency, and basic respect--especially when dealing with kids. This experience ruined our visit and seriously damaged our trust in this location. Until Andretti addresses these leadership and operational issues, we won't be returning--and we'll think twice before recommending it to other families.

    From the adult perspective - the customer service is lacking, the prices are steep and the main…read moreattraction - the race cars, are slow and expensive. The race cars are really the main attraction here and the entire place revolves around the racing. You cannot make a reservation. It's a first come, first serve situation. There are four racing categories (see below), so if you come with a group of mixed ages or heights you may not all be able to race together (I've witnessed this shock when birthday parties assume they can race together). The Intermediate and Junior Races are slower than you'd assume. I could jog faster, but the WORST part is the speed. They go so slow and are controlled so it's nearly impossible to pass another racer or actually RACE! The Mini Mario has some speed and speed is adjusted based on the general age of the racers in the heat. The cost is $29 down to $15, which doesn't sound horrible, but after waiting for a long time for your group to be called and then racing for 1min to 7 minutes, the cost is really high! High enough you're not likely to get in line and do it again. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ugh. There are kiosks and a giant line with actual people at a counter. Don't be mistaken YOU MUST go to the kiosk FIRST and fill out waivers, although there are no signs anywhere telling you that. We've filled out waivers on line before arriving, only to find ourselves at the front of the line and told "we can't find it, now to to the kiosks and get back in line". It's awful. The employees don't seem to like their jobs, or likely are sick of people being upset at them for the HORRIBLE process management has set up. We've never been able to find someone on the floor to help us when a video game eats our money or doesn't work either. The guys in the race area are hit or miss. Sometimes they're patient and kind. Other times they mumble and seem pissed off to be there. GAMES: The video games are the same as other places around town, but after driving all the way out here, searching for parking and then racing for 5 minutes we've always felt like we need to play a few games to make the trip worth it. FOOD: We've never eaten here, but it's basic bar food (hamburger, hot dogs, nachos, etc) and the cost is high for such basic food. We'd rather pay the same amount for better food options in the area. All that to say, expect to spend $$$ to come race, eat and play at Andrettis. Make sure your group has checked the height & age requirements to make sure you can race together. And finally, come with a lot of patience. ----- Race Categories ----- ADULT RACE 7- Minute Heat. Adult Races are for drivers at least 54" Tall and either 18+ yrs old or 15+ yrs old with State Issued Driver's License or Permit. Max Weight: 300 lbs. INTERMEDIATE RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Intermediate Races are for drivers at least 54" tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 12 yrs old. Max Weight: 300 lbs JUNIOR RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Junior Races are for drivers at least 48" Tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 7 yrs old. MINI MARIO KART RACE: 5- Minute Heat. Minimum Height: 36″ Tall. Maximum Weight: 90lbs. Recommended Ages: 4-6 yrs old.
