AWFUL LANES! Upon paying EXTREMELY OVERPRICED fares for 3 people (66 dollars) OC lanes is a…read morefraction of the price, annoying intolerable music, kids screaming. When confronted for their extremely over oiled lanes, oiled to the point where it was physically impossible to get any spin on the ball, the staff stated that the lanes were so oily because they where just oiled today. This is not an excuse. Lanes being freshly oiled should not be this slippery. The balls were so gross that they could not even be held. Multiple people in our group and on the lanes around us dropped the balls on their approach even when held perfectly. DONT COME HERE!

My husband and I visited Strikes and Spares for the first time today. Its our anniversary/my…read morebirthday weekend and we wanted a fun date. We got the 2 hr of activities/1 game of bowling wristband. It was well worth it. This place is very fun! We played a game of bowling, drove the go karts, played a round of mini golf, and played some arcade games. We also both got a cheeseburger and fries, soda, and I got a beer. I will review each activity below. Electric Go karts: This was by far both of our favorite attraction. It's so much fun to fly around the track, and that fact that it's completely indoors makes it even better. Mini Golf: This Mini golf course is small, a bit cramped, and doesn't have the fun effects that other courses have. However, I love the blacklight effect and the circus theme is VERY cute. That being said, both the paint and the carpet could use a slight touch up. I wouldn't pay for the Mini golf separately, but if you have the wristband it's worth one play. Bowling: the lanes were cool (they had a blacklight effect as well) and while we didn't do that well, both my husband and I had fun bowling again. As far as the food goes, we both agreed that the cheeseburgers were actually really good. I had a bottled Budweiser, but they also had a few tap selections as well. They have a TON of awesome arcade games as well. We played the basketball games, skeeball, the electronic bowling game and many more. They also have several activities we didn't try: The "Ninja" obstacle course, the bumper cars, and a trampoline like jumping attraction. If you are a parent looking for a cool place to host a birthday party, they have a decent sized private party room as well. Overall, I give Strikes and Spares 10/10. We both recommend it and are considering coming back on future date nights.

I had the Matchmaker- a sweet cherry cider and my husband had the White Castle in the Sky, his had a very unique flavor and the bartender recommended he sample it first. The ciders were very good. Bowling is by the hour and includes shoes and bowling up to 6 people. We did not have an hour to spend here, and they graciously offered us a 30 min rate. This was a pleasant surprise, we stopped in for ciders, but ended up enjoying bowling!

Likewise, the bathrooms really smell bad, or there is the lingering ghost like smell of cigarettes past. So when I visited the Wawasee Bowl last month, this was what I was expecting to encounter. However, when I walked into the place I was really amazed. My friend Jenny told me the bowling center had been completely renovated over the past year, and it looks very bright and fantastic to say the least. The automatic scoring has been replaced, and the lanes were completely redone. Sadly, I didn't have a chance to bowl at Wawasee, but I can tell you the food is excellent! When one thinks of the culinary offerings at a bowling center, greasy burgers, pizza, french fries, and heartburn all come to mind. In fact, I was feeling apprehensive since I didn't bring any Alka-Seltzer with me. So I decided that since it was Friday, I would try their fish fry, and I was very happy that I did, as it was very good! Jenny, told me that the Wawasee Bowl also serves up some great lunch specials. The next time I go to northern Indiana, I plan stopping in and trying them. The only reason I didn't give this review a 5, is because I didn't bowl why I was there. With that said, next time I will bring my ball and shoes with me. This place is what every small town bowling center should strive to be.

I made a note to myself so I wouldn't forget to come back and give a review after I went here. I've not been bowling for about 20 years, so I don't have a lot to compare the place against, and I only went there this once, but I didn't find anything to complain about on my visit. There was one issue where my bowling ball got stuck a couple times, but I think it might have been because I was throwing it rather hard. Neither the person I was bowling with nor the other lanes nearby had the same issue. I'm not going to hold that against them, especially given that they were very quick to go get it unstuck when I let them know about it.

It has a game room and one prize is a crockpot so adults and children should play. Had a Jack and Coke, average. The food gets good reviews but we didn't eat. The people there seemed friendly and like regulars. We didn't bowl as we were there to support and no open lines. They had clever names for lots of things and areas. Punny names which was fun and clever. So clean, friendly, booze, and a sense of humor. The only big downside is size but I don't know how popular the place is overall and while booked solid tonight that was due to league.
