Alley Kat Lane - Kingston, MA…read more I took my 4-year-old to Alley Kat Lane on March 25th for a much-needed break and some fun. We've had a little health scare recently, so we're making it a priority to keep him active and out of the house. I hadn't been to Alley Kat in years, so stepping back inside and seeing the updated arcade was exciting--especially because they have some of the coolest and most unique games around. And trust me, we've been to a lot of arcades in the area, so we know our games. We checked the hours beforehand--open until 10 PM. The parking lot was hopping, and you could hear the bowling balls crashing into pins from outside. But when we walked in, disappointment hit fast--the entire arcade was shut down. Just as I was about to give my best "are you kidding me?" face, I asked an employee about their usual closing time. And here's where the magic happened... They turned the entire arcade back on. Just. For. Us. If that isn't top-tier customer service, I don't know what is! Huge shout-out to Lucas, who went above and beyond. Not only did he get everything up and running, but he also took the time to chat with my son about his Venom shirt and favorite superheroes. The prize selection was another major win--no cheap Dollar Tree trinkets here. My son had his heart set on a giant gumball machine (2,000ish tickets), but after going all-in on the claw machines, we came up short. Luckily, they had a smaller but still awesome gumball machine for under 1,000 tickets, complete with gumballs. Honestly, I can't wait to go back. Part of me wants to gatekeep this hidden gem, but places that prioritize real customer experiences over money grabs deserve the recognition. Plus, the candlepin bowling and arcade are separate from the busier lanes, making it a perfect spot for families. So, if you're looking for a local spot that's not just another overpriced, overhyped entertainment center, Alley Kat Lane is it. And to Lucas and the rest of the amazing staff--my son said you made not just his day, but his entire life. We'll see you again soon!

The best thing about this place is the custodians who keep the bathrooms spotless. Was here for a…read morevolleyball tourney and keeping up ain't no joke but they made it happen. The actual staff? So rude. As a venue that hosts families spending money to enjoy their kids playing, they are abrupt and not even remotely welcoming when entering the venue. The older women in the upper lobby was aggressively policing food entering the building when on the event floor everyone's chowing on their outside grub. I get the posted signs and would happily comply but let's be consistent and recognize that the food concessions offered cannot keep up with the demand which means we need to go elsewhere to get our kids fed. Do better.

Starland is very pricey and in my opinion, it isn't worth it…read more My 6 year old daughter and I visited today for the "indoor inflatable park". For $12 an hour, I was expecting more than 2 inflatables. There were no staff there and had we been dishonest we could have just walked in and played. My daughter is Autistic so we avoid the arcade area because it's extremely loud. I'm neurodivergent too and I left with a migraine from the noise level.

I used to love this place, but unfortunately it's turned into nothing more than a money grab…read more The bathrooms are consistently filthy, and the staff act like they don't even want to be there. Today really sealed it for me. We came to celebrate my son's 10th birthday, and when we arrived, the internet was down so it was cash only--but there was no sign on the outside door. You don't find out until after you walk in, which already starts the experience off wrong. The manager working tonight (glasses, thinning blonde/gray hair) was incredibly rude and condescending. Zero customer service skills and no empathy whatsoever. He didn't seem to care that multiple machines were broken or malfunctioning: * Air hockey had no airflow and didn't keep score * Connect Four Hoops (red side) was playing by itself * Motorcycle games charged but wouldn't start * Basketball games were missing balls * Several other machines weren't working properly Instead of addressing any of this, he was selectively handing out game cards to other customers while repeatedly ignoring my son--the birthday boy--and our family. While we were waiting for food, he came over and asked whose birthday it was, as if I hadn't already told him earlier. Then he made a sarcastic comment saying, "clearly from the sign on the door." Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. There are way too many better options out there to spend this kind of money and be treated this way. I won't be coming back. 0/10 experience.

Omg, I wish I could rate this a zero. This was hands down the worst experience I have had there and…read morespent a mini fortune for it. Let's start with our waitress. She was terrible forgot order, left menus, brought over app. Plates when didn't get apps. Took glasses and didn't ask if we wanted more drinks, made us wait 20 mins for the bill and just over all not friendly. Then the food was awful just awful. Granddaughter got dogs in pretzel. They were charcoal inside ,grandson my chicken fingers were tiny 4 small tenders with the bottom of the fries maybe a handful. My husband's food in a giant bowl with a small ass portion of pasta. Just over gross. But it was a late lunch for us so we worked through it Lastly we spent a mini fortune on tickets like serious mini fortune and barley got tickets which is fine but when we went to turn them in there was not much to change In for. Like it all started at 100 tickets. Come on I have 2 kids with me and they couldn't exchange for much a lollipop that was 105 tickets really? What is it 25 cents. I know this sounds ridiculous but if I didn't just drop 200 plus dollars there I wouldn't be so mad. I will not return to your establishment and think that this was just highway robbery. It's unfortunate the experience as a whole was just anything but worth what I payed. Also the guy cleaning the table was spraying 5he tables on stream and it was spraying all over people and he wiped the food off the table onto the chairs. Just yuck. Toilets durty and it wasnt tgat busy apon arrival. No excuse. ​

Hello and this gives out to an awsome employee. She is the reason my wife and I keep going back…read more Once week we go to bowl are greeted by name and will go out if her way to give us a nice experience. The remodel that was way over due we will learn to enjoy. So going to dinner after bowling we were entertained by reviews 4 to 1 as a bad experience do not return. I believe Yelp is here to make businesses aware of bad experience. We suggest they read what people think of Kingston Ten Pin. Aimed mostly at the owner and it is obvious who this gray haired older man is. An owner sets the tone and for the most part is reviewed as rude and unprofessional, shame. Like it has been said to little to late. All the pin machines have been replaced. Shame it will not bring back new business with the many negative reviews here. It has great potential as a family entertainment center but with lost birthday reservation and telling guess he did not care if they left and a party of 17 out the door. I person tells 10 others and soon your business is on the don't go to list. We enjoy this one employee who has great spirit and limiteds allowed input to change with the times. Said to be State of the Arrs it is like the job was done half way. Not everything was repaired or replaced shame and to bad. The ball return area on some of tge lanes leave a lot to be desired, broken an cracked again shame. We will continue to go as it is tge closest bowling to us and tge only reason we go. I hope Mr. TEN pin gets an eye full here Rude and bad attitude fir an owner oh and the cheesy league players are rude nasty people no wonder where the rude comes from. Goid night and happy bowling
