    On 28Jul22 we arrived at 11:00 (the posted time they are to open) and there was a short line of…read morepeople. We saw a worker taking out trash about that same time. It is currently 11:20am and no one is answering the phone. The line is about 30 PO'd people making alternate plans now and still no signs of life other than the first sighting of an employee. Would not suggest counting on this place to plan family entertainment as they seem to struggle with reading a clock or answering a phone. Oh wait... employees are carrying out box but won't answer the simple question of when they will open. It's 11:30 am. But wait, there's more..... So, about 5 minutes after a group of about 15 left and we were on our way back to the car, they opened the doors. I grabbed a few shots of the broken down machines but more importantly let me explain a critical piece of how this place works. We selected the option of buying 200 tokens for $50.00. Our 2 15 yr olds blew through them in about 45 minutes and that's being generous. Why? Because many of the games took 7, 12, and 20 tokens to play a single game! Another point to raise is that they never opened the laser tag game while we were there. This place was a great disappointment and if you wonder why their Google reviews are so high, they give you $5.00 off for a good review.

    It was great to see it open again in June 2025 after being closed the previous summer. My large…read morefamily group had a great experience playing laser tag on a rainy day.

    I have come here a couple of times. I do absolutely love it here. Everything about this place is…read moregreat except the lane conditions. Every time I go I have to worry about what the conditions will be and have to adjust. Now with that being said, since I usually play league style sometimes I have to adjust to two lanes. And even though it's kinda inconvenient? It's also very fun to learn how to adjust your game to what you're given. BUT the atmosphere? The people? The memories I have of being at this place? I couldn't trade that for anything

    I think this bowling alley is awesome! We have only been about three times but it is never too…read morecrowded unless there is an event going on. There are plenty of lanes, equipment is updated along with their screen tvs. Prices are affordable, sometimes they have specials where you can bowl for free. This bowling alley is located in the naval base across from the commissary. The food is ok, simple bar food and drinks. Bathrooms are decent, they have baby changing tables. Nothing spectacular about this location other than it is more private and they do hold events for holidays. You can also have birthday parties here. This year we attended the free Christmas event they had which was awesome! Free bowling for adults & children, free pictures with Santa & Mrs Claus (they provided two copies per family), free popcorn, free breakfast & drinks (waffles, eggs, potatoes, apple juice), free face painting, character balloons, prizes, gifts & kids could also paint their own bird houses. My toddler was ecstatic and had so much fun! We will definitely attend next year. All the staff was so nice. The MWR ticket & travel office is also located inside this bowling alley where you can find pamphlets on all of the nearby attractions and discounted rates.
