No one ever called me back. When we arrived Saturday I told the "cashier" and she was very dismissive of me. We got 2 lanes and bumper pads as we had 2 young first time bowlers. There was a problem with one lane... it kept stopping after the first roll.... Told girl at desk, again, not very helpful. Finally asked a different girl and s guy tech came over and announced "There is a problem" no kidding.... We had to change lanes. Second lanes were ok but we had no bumper rails as they didn't have them. It was nice to have the score start over when we changed lanes!!!

It is an old bowling alley on a touristy beach island.

Splitz has a great concept, but my experience was undermined by poor customer service and a lack of…read moreaccountability. Staff interactions felt dismissive, and when concerns were raised, they were not handled with professionalism or care. Most disappointing was the absence of meaningful engagement or resolution from management. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. In this case, communication, attitude, and follow-through all fell short. I hope leadership reviews this feedback and takes steps to improve staff training and customer engagement, as these changes could significantly improve the guest experience. Below is the formal complaint that was emailed and submitted, however, there has been no response: Good morning, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a private event held at Splitz Bowling - Gainesville, FL on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The reservation was under the name Josie Jackson, and we paid $435.38 for a private section with four lanes for two hours. Lanes 27 and 28 experienced continuous technical issues throughout the reservation period. While I understand that having more than six participants per lane can sometimes contribute to delays, lanes 27 and 28 did not exceed six players during the first hour and were the first to malfunction, confirming the issues were not related to lane capacity or guest usage. During the final hour of play, lanes 29 and 30 also began experiencing issues, further reducing usable play time across all four lanes. Additionally, our dedicated server was present for less than an hour and did not return, and multiple staff members were disengaged despite a busy venue. Management arrived 30-45 minutes later and offered minimal remediation (initially 15 minutes, then 30 minutes across all lanes), which did not resolve the technical issues. No meaningful follow-up occurred despite assurances. On-site security staff were inattentive. Given the cost and repeated service failures, I respectfully request: A corporate review of this incident Appropriate compensation or refund Corrective actions to prevent similar issues for future guests I would appreciate a written response. Please let me know if you need additional documentation. Shantell Hadley, MBA shantella.hadley@gmail.com

We were mostly not impressed that the lane kept having technical malfunctions then when we went to renew for another our lane stopped working completely and they had us wait 10-15 minutes just to wait for another lane to open up in the boutique area. Staff wasn't exactly helpful.

Mrs. H's review is pretty much spot-on: the Game Room is a combination of pool hall sans the liquor…read moreand smoke, bowling alley, and a few arcade games. I used to come here mainly for pool because my friends who are under 21 couldn't, of course, go to a bar to play pool and we do like our pool now and then! The Game Room can get very busy on weekends but still has a nice vibe. And then there is DDR: Mrs. H, I am one of those DDR kids! We're not all that nerdy though: I rock Dylan George jeans and Sevens just like you do and spend a king's ransom on my hair as if I was Gwen . . . let's sit stereotypes aside (but ok, ok, I DO have a soldering iron and can program in ZPL too!). In any case, the Game Room can't be beat for UF kids as a good location to have some fun. If you're not resident at UF though, know this: parking on campus is very tough, even to an extent after hours. Take note of all signs you see and park some place like the lot near the New Physics Building that is just across from the Reitz if parking at night. And obey the 20 MPH speed limit on campus: they're not joking about this!

Mayport base bowling for military families…read more We were able to make a reservation and had 3 families bowling side by side with all our kids. We did cosmic bowling that had a set cost $20 per person and that included shoes and unlimited bowling until they closed. Please note that the bar and concession/food stand closes prior so it's best to order your food in the beginning. The food is reasonably priced and economical. They offer burgers, hot dogs, french fries and pizza just to list some options. They also have a small bar area and they have beers and a few other drink option.

They must have over 20 lanes. We had one with a bumper for the kids and a regular lane for adults. It's located in a plaza that is shared with a skating rink and had ample parking out front when we arrived. Several options here - you can pay per player per game($5-10) or by time (an hour or 90 minutes). We paid $39 for 90 minutes for each lane with a maximum of 7 players per game. Shoe rentals were $5 or so, and socks available for purchase. The setup was easy with many fun themes(including the option to take selfies) for your the game board. Balls came back quickly. There is a small arcade, birthday room for parties, and a cafe and full bar(opens at 5 but they serve drinks you can order from the cafe before then. Staff were all friendly. Our lane malfunctioned a couple times and they added back time when our original time ended so we could finish the game. They also have TVs and let us put on the football games we wanted to watch by our lanes. Nothing fancy here but good, clean fun. Great family, date, friend, or solo outing!

This bowling alley has been around for decades and has always been the go-to place for fun…read more However, recently it has gone downhill, bad. The AC is barely ever working. The lanes are black and sticky. Not sure when the last time they have been cleaned. Numerous ceiling tiles hanging. Clearly there are leaks. There are always issues with multiple lanes not working. I know a lot of regulars spend their hard-earned money there, especially the League bowlers. I can't begin to imagine what they spend there, weekly. Please make this place better. It is not a good scene for Ormond Beach.

We decided on meeting on a Saturday afternoon to hopefully avoid crowds. I believe someone from our group reserved 2 lanes for us and had to place a deposit. I was last to arrive and the kids at the desk were not present and then when they finally showed up, they were short & rude. Any time I glanced over while I was playing, no one was at the desk. It was busy while we were there but it became busier as the afternoon turned to evening. While we were playing, we experienced issues with the lane several times. Sometimes help arrived quickly, where other times we waited for a good 20 minutes. After we finished bowling, some of us stayed to go to the bar and play pool. The drinks were very expensive and you had to pay to play pool, which was super overpriced. All in all, I would like to explore other bowling alleys in Ocala but I think most places replicate a Chucky Cheese kinda establishment.
