Five stars for this high end bowling place that gives you a run for the money!…read more This place came as a recommendation from our friends and gave an upbeat vibe right away - so well maintained and clean. The staff was kind and courteous and the food was amazing. We got a lane in the private bowling lounge and gave a very private setting feeling. The only downside I found was with the graphics that came on those huge screens - as much as they were outstanding, you can't be having a black screen with fire glowing graphics just when you are to roll your ball to strike down the pins when it's pitch dark and go blind. The parking is humongous and it's wheelchair accessible.

**** Guests Were Pushed, Shoved, Physically Assaulted and Manhandled Without Cause***…read more This review is also in google- verbatim I am extremely disappointed by my experience at this establishment. What should have been a fun night with friends turned into one of the worst and most upsetting experiences we've ever had. The entire situation started over something incredibly minor, one of our friends playfully bowled in the wrong lane as we were all getting ready to leave. Instead of calmly explaining the mistake or asking us to move, the security staff immediately escalated the situation. There was no attempt to de-escalate or communicate respectfully. What happened next was completely unacceptable. Multiple security guards began to physical assault, grope, manhandle and push members of our group out that resulted in them falling to the ground. It didn't matter whether if you were a man or a woman, everyone were treated aggressively despite the fact that no one in our group acted violently or posed a threat. Watching women and men alike being physically pushed around over such a small misunderstanding was shocking and disturbing. To make matters even worse, one of the security guards actually wanted to come outside and fight us. A person whose job is responsible for keeping people safe should never be trying to provoke or challenge customers to a fight. That behavior is completely unprofessional, intimidating, and unacceptable. After everything happened, we asked the manager why the security guard had become so aggressive. She told us it started at the bar, but never offered any meaningful explanation beyond that. Earlier in the evening, my cousin had been told not to vape, and he complied. Shortly afterward, a woman standing beside him began vaping, but instead of paying attention to who was actually doing it, security immediately assumed it was my cousin again without even looking in the other person's direction. From our perspective, it felt like they jumped to conclusions instead of taking a moment to assess what was actually happening. There was a police officer in the area while the everything was happening. (Before the situation started which seemed odd at the moment) We kept asking if his Body Cam was on and he was NOT clearly answering. By the time we were outside we asked him to please call his Sergeant because we still had no idea what we did wrong to be physically assaulted by staff. As if that wasn't enough, more than 10 police officers eventually arrived at the scene. Unfortunately, their presence did little to help. Despite hearing our concerns and seeing how upset everyone was, none of the officers appeared to address our complaints about the way security had handled the situation. We were left feeling like our side of the story wasn't taken seriously after we had been shoved and treated so aggressively. The most frustrating part is that all of this escalated from what should have been simple issues that could have been handled with a calm conversation. Instead, security chose aggression over professionalism, creating an unnecessary confrontation that affected people who had done nothing wrong. Men and women alike were physically pushed and handled in a way that was completely disproportionate to the situation. I sincerely hope management reviews the security camera footage from both the bar area and the bowling lanes, as well as the actions of the security staff involved. Customers deserve to feel safe, not threatened by the very people hired to protect them. Security personnel should be trained to de-escalate situations, verify what actually happened before making accusations, and treat everyone with respect. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment. What should have been an enjoyable night with friends ended with unnecessary aggression, poor management, and an experience that left our entire group feeling unsafe and deeply disappointed. However, we fortunately NOW have a case with NJPD and we will move forward with taking legal actions.

The world's biggest karting track? Definitely something to cross off the bucket list--especially…read morewhen you have motor-loving kids! . If somebody does not like racing, there is plenty of other activities in the area, that also had a huge parking lot. The track is huge, demanding, and genuinely fun to drive. Our whole family loved the experience, and the staff was fantastic. A special shout-out to Isebaia, who took great care of us. She clearly and patiently explained all the options and was a fantastic ambassador for the front desk. We bought the 3-ride bundle. Since a couple of the kids were under 15, we started with a Semi-Pro race. Unfortunately, my kart wasn't working properly--it braked going uphill, downhill, and pretty much whenever it felt like it. Not exactly the ideal start. The next races we switched to Pro, but there were still quite a few racers on the track. If you're hoping to set records, I'd definitely recommend coming at a quieter time. When you have slower drivers who haven't quite figured out how to drive yet, patience becomes part of the experience. Despite that, everyone had a great time, and the staff really made the experience enjoyable. A couple of negatives: the karts should be checked more carefully before putting them into a race. Losing a race because your kart isn't functioning properly is frustrating. And then there's the price. Three races each for the whole family gets very expensive--almost approaching what you might pay for a full day at Universal Studios. That definitely puts the cost into perspective. I would give a 5 star for the racetrack and the staff, but the price and the broken kart brought it down to 3. So 4 in total Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would my wallet agree? Probably not. Still, for a family of racing and motor enthusiasts, it's an experience worth doing at least once.

Went with my Dad to celebrate Father's Day!…read more We went on a Tuesday and the crowd was minimal. The place had a great atmosphere with a well laid out map plan. Everything was spread out and didn't feel on top of each other. The location was way bigger than it had appeared to be. Bathrooms were spotless. I initially had my Dad and I to do one race and an hour of axe throwing but after our race my Dad lit up. So I asked the helpful associate Angel if we can sub our axe game for another race. The manager Nicole was such a sweetheart and did it no problem. Amazing experience, 10/10 recommend. My only dilemma is for people who carry most of their height in their legs beware. The go-cart seat can only go back so much. But otherwise we had a blast.

I also love that two adults get free admission with each paying child. The day pass is valid all day. You can leave and come back later at no extra cost as long as you keep your wristband. We will definitely be back and will be recommending to our friends and family!

While Bev & Wally's Arcade is not necessarily the largest arcade you will find along the shore, or…read moreCentral New Jersey for that matter, it is really a great, family friendly venue that offers a good amount of entertainment for adults and children alike. The arcade is right off the main thoroughfare that runs right along the shore which may make parking a bit tricky during beach season, however during off season (when we went), you can arguably park right in front of the arcade without much issue. The arcade contains mostly redemption games - games that reward tickets usually based on the skills of the player, which in turn can be redeemed for prizes. There are a handful of claw machines and several string cutting games that offer generous prizes (PS5s and like-value). There are also a few pay-to-win games that will generate a prize every time. There is a vast selection of redeemable prizes which is of decent quality making your gaming experience worthwhile. If you're wondering, I've been told that the ownership of The Game Room and Bev & Wally's have been consolidated, however the two are not physically connected, and at present time (last quarter 2023, first quarter 2024) the Game Room is closed for renovations, I believe. The staff that works at Bev & Wally's Arcade are incredibly friendly and kind. The one's we've interacted with are truly about the experience of the children. Bev & Wally's Arcade also host parties for various occasions, and sometimes hosting fundraising events in which they offer some promotions. Overall, a nice arcade to go on a rainy day during off season, and a staple of the Keansburg area.

I went to Duke Farms around 2ish and the parking lot was full but I did find a parking spot. There are many different trails to walk and bike. I saw that you can rent a bike and I saw visitors with their own bikes. This is definitely the perfect spot for a cute small picnic with friends or family or even a cute date idea. They also have a cafe on site and public restrooms in the main building. I only had time to go to orchid range which was nice. I brought my kindle with me and sat inside and enjoyed the greenery and read for a little. I have to go back to Duke Farms and have a little picnic one of these days.

There were so many structures that all the children had plenty of personal space. Special features included a roller-based slide, a zip-line, and a rope climb. It's an excellent playground I can add to the rotation. Come out and play! NOTES/TIPS: **Picnic tables, plenty of benches, and 2 porta-potties on-site. **If the main parking lot is full, additional parking is 200 ft. away. **The playground is next to a basketball court, baseball field, and soccer field.

Benches for eating are at the entrance located close enough to watch your kids playing basketball or on the playground. This playground is neat... truly a castle inspired theme. Great for playing peekaboo with your toddlers with many mazes to get lost in and still be sure your child is safe and can't fall out the sides (too easily). There's also a slide that can be climbed which my son was very intrigued with, once he got to the top he'd jump on the big boy slide and come out the other end, he's 14 months so there's really so much for him to explore. There's also bigger slides for older kids, different monkey bars to climb, kiddie and big kid swings, little castles with benches and tables to picnic in, and plenty of benches surrounding the playground for parents to hang out in. We lived up to our mantra: PLAY HARD NAP HARD! Baby was knocked out as soon as we got in the car so I must say it was a good day. My name is Francis and I approve of this playground.
