What a great time and alot of fun for all ages. We had ages from 10-50 and all had a blast. If I had to say anything negative... it would have to be there is no air conditioning and they only had one floor fan which didnt do any good with the air circulation. Will definately return soon and will tell friends about it.

Incredible establishment with so many amenities!…read more My family has loved Great Escape for bowling parties, social outings and just fun for the kids in the arcade. Recently we enrolled in the learn to bowl class with Darla, who is an amazing teacher. Where else in the Central Iowa can you get professional help from a hall of fame bowler. The food is hands down the best I have had in a very long time. It was a perfect array of foods. From delicious wings, to incredible pizza, to the gourmet burgers. There is something for everyone on Great Escapes food menu. My personal favorite is the jalapeño popper burger. WOW! 5 stars is not enough for a diamond in the rough!! You can truly tell the owners take pride in their establishment. Always re-investing in their business. Run! Don't walk, to the best family entertainment center in Iowa!!

A Remarkable Birthday Experience - Truly Unforgettable!…read more We celebrated our twins' 6th birthday party at this bowling alley back in October 2024, and even months later, the experience still stands out as one of the most memorable events we've had as a family. Life got in the way of writing this sooner, but the level of care and professionalism we received from the staff deserves to be recognized, no matter how much time has passed. From the moment we started planning, the staff was beyond accommodating and attentive. Communication was seamless leading up to the big day, and they made every effort to ensure things ran smoothly from start to finish. On the day of the party, they assigned our group a dedicated support person who went above and beyond--keeping drinks filled, food warm, and everyone smiling. It felt like every detail, big or small, mattered to them. What really touched us most was the way they made our twins and their friends feel special, especially in the arcade area. Their kindness, patience, and energy created an unforgettable atmosphere for the kids, and left a lasting impression on every adult in the room. It's rare these days to find a team that takes pride in genuine customer service the way this crew did. They didn't just host a party--they created an experience, and it's why we will continue to celebrate our family birthdays here. Customer service is free, but this team gave it with heart, effort, and professionalism that went above and beyond expectations. Thank you for making our twins' birthday so special--we can't wait to come back!

Each time has been really fun! The room is always clean and has plenty of space for the entire party. Plus, the party package comes with drinks and pizzas. You're also allowed to bring your own decorations, as long as you don't damage the walls and take them down when you're done. There are plenty of activities for the kids to do, including the arcade zone. Overall, it is kept pretty clean, especially for having so many children all the time lol. The food is really good and does come out pretty quickly. Pricing-wise, I'd say it's pretty reasonable for the amount of services that are included. The drinks at the bar are a little overpriced in my opinion, but the service is always awesome.

We got set up with bowling first and found there are couches to sit on while you wait your turn. Everything is automated and we were able to select lane bumpers for the younger grandkids. I had to go to the bar to place our pizza/soda order (I have NO issue with that), and they brought our order out to us. It was really good! Next was the arcade and laser tag. They have a mix of older games along with new. We didn't make it outside for the mini golf due to rain. We will make sure we come here again!

Spit on the other side of the wall was a large party. This is the axe throwing area. Not knowing where we were going, we headed back through this area. There are some pool tables and dart boards. Cool! We then were stepping "out" into the mall area. Set up like an outdoor patio. There were tables, chairs, cornhole and more. We crossed the mall and headed into Duck Pin bowling. 8 lanes. Much like regular bowling, just enough room to congregate. Short lanes, pins on strings, small balls. We had to wait, so we hung out in the bar and kitchen area. More dining space, a couple of arcade games, and a batting cage occupied this space. The boys tried their hand at batting. Rather trippy if you ask me. You choose the game. Don your helmet and bat. Get in there, step up, and look"down field." The entire wall of the other side of the cage is video. One tiny square has a trap door that opens just as the pitcher lets go. The ball comes out at the speed that can be 100 mph. It's cool. It helped kill the time as we waited our turn for duck pin bowling. We enjoyed the music, drinks, food, and conversation as we waited. When we got to play, we got a quick run down of how it worked. Top tip. Don't get your fingers pinched by the returning balls! It was fun and easy for everyone to enjoy. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was fun. If I lived closer I'd go regularly. Great indoor space for the cold Iowa days.
