The bowling ally is cheap, but you have to keep track of your score by hand. The gym is usually very crowded, but it is less crowded than Noyes, and does not have Olympic lift platforms or exercise balls like Noyes or Teagle. It also lacks adequate public transportation to the location on weekend and late night hours.

Mostly I appreciate their commitment to operations. Street shoes come off near the front door to avoid tracking wet salty water all over in the winter. Automatic gutter guards are available for kids. The approaches have always been clean. There are plenty of entertainment options here besides the bowling including a TouchTunes jukebox, arcade room and food and beverage options. Overall, this is a more lively and fun place to bowl than, for example, Roseland Bowl in Canandaigua which is closer to us. Also, at least as of early 2026, 3 games of open bowling costs about 4.5 dollars less per person than Roseland Bowl.
