Spare time is our favorite bowling ally to go to. It's always fun and clean. The staff are great and friendly as soon as we walk through the doors. The food is decent too. We didn't eat here this time but we have in the past and it's typical bowling alley food. I haven't had anything that I absolutely hated. The bar drinks are always good, the pizza and the pretzels. This location has arcades and laser tag. All fun! They have new deals posted for example Thursdays are 10.99 a person from 9pm to 11pm. The music is also great here! They play songs everyone knows and can sing and dance too. Great family place! read more

Spare Time Entertainment - Inside - Laser Tag Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I wish this business the best. As a previous small business owner I understand how difficult it is to manage cost and operation. We called this place at 4pm to make sure the had time and room before we made the drive...we were told there was a party at 550. We were told that we could have an hour of bowling before that party if we got there with enough time. We arrived at 430, when trying to purchase an hour of bowling we were turned away. We decided to let the kids do an escape soon since we couldn't now....It is now 5:30 and the bowling lanes are EMPTY!!! Management, Timestamps don't lie. 3 star because parking is great and the facility looks entertaining...wish we could have experienced more. read more

I jus want to give a shoutout to the lady with the short red hair in the kitchen , I was at the snack bar and even though they were slammed she stepped off the line and assisted me , very polite and our food was amazing . thank you again Miss Imani. read more

Another great time at spare time! This time we had reserved the VIP area so it was a lot more private. They had a dedicated bar for us, buffet style lunch which inclided delicious wings, mozarella sticks, tenders, tater tots, chips and sliders. The food i must say was hot and tasted fresh and was rotated out fairly regularly. The staff was super nice and the area was cleN. Tbey have 10 lanes in the vip area so we were enjoying, along with the pool table. I wish they had darts board to make it a proper bar feel but not complaining. The last lane was buggy and would constantly get stuck which was annoying but the staff was helpfull in getting it fixed quickly read more

Had a fun time visiting spare time with friends to celebrate a birthday. It's been a few years since I visited this spot for bowling, but on this trip we got drinks and apps, played some music bingo and then a round of laser tag. Bar staff were ok, but not overly friendly. Maybe they were having a bad day, not sure, but not a great first impression. Music bingo was fun though they had to play A LOT of songs before anyone hit bingos, the rounds too far too long and seemed to have a lot of filler songs added that no one hd on their cards...perhaps a ploy to keep you there longer and buying food and drinks(?) The arcade has a good variety of games for all ages, and the bowling alleys are clean, and looking pretty up to date. Laser rage was a blast. It was actually my first time playing and I was shocked by how large the battlefield was. The games are $9 to play a round and each round is 15 minutes. It was definitely a fun time and gets your adrenaline running! Overall it was a good time. Again bar staff may need a pep talk, but the overall experience was a good time, and. A nice change of pace for a night out. I'll probably be back to ply another round of laser tag down the road. read more

We had a blast last on our family fun day. We purchased Groupon tickets and they were a great value for a family of 7! We did the bowling and a few arcade games. There was an hour wait but we ordered food and enjoyed our wait. We had nachos, loaded fries and spicy shrimp. Everything tasted great and a good portion size. Everyone had a wonderful time! It looked like it was the place everyone came to on Saturday for fun and parties read more

So much fun! I took my husband for part of a Christmas present: when we got in there was an hour wait for bowling (Saturday night before NYE, expected nothing less!) we put our names down and did a nice walk through of the space, checking out games to play later and signing up for laser tag. Laser tag WAS A BLAST. Highly recommend for some silly high energy adventure. When we wrapped, it was just about time for our bowling! Got on a lane and highly recommend taking the photos they ask you to take. Incredibly silly cartoons when you play. We played for about 1.5 hours (uhhh exhausting! Hah!) and ordered a pizza while we were playing. The pizza took a bit, but wow it had no business being so good! read more

Visited here at 9pm on a Sunday evening to bowl with a friend. I arrived first, per usual, lol. Destiny checked me in. It was $26.66 for 2 people bowling. My friend arrived about 10 minutes after me. We went and got shoes for them before proceeding to bowl. Around 9:28pm, I went to the bar area to order drinks. Tiffany saw me and said she would be the server. I ordered rum punch and purple rain. Tiffany brought over the drinks at 9:32pm. I ordered the sampler with sweet Thai wings and a blue party punch around 9:50pm. I received blue party lunch around 9:57pm and the food arrived at 10:03pm. The food was hot, fresh, sad delicious.The drinks were fine, not that strong. Tiffany's energy and personality was awesome! It wasn't busy at all. The arcade area was pretty much empty. We got the all you can bowl which starts at 9pm on Sunday. They close at 11pm, so it's essentially 2 hours if you're there at 9pm. We had no issues with the lane. They played good music. The middle screen played music videos. We were able to play 5 games. read more

Bowling. A massive laser tag playroom. Arcade games galore. Hot, fresh bar food AND (yes) a decent alcoholic cocktails menu for the adults! VIP rooms, separate from the general public!!!!!! What is there NOT to like about this place?! I'll tell you: the crowds of hyperactive children running amuck throughout the legs of the slew of adults that are there as well. Still, I had a blast with me crew and definitely will return.... I just think next time we will opt for reserving our own VIP room to bowl, drink and fraternize in ADULT peace (because the rowdy kids running around was definitely something I want to avoid from now on)! read more

Spare Time Entertainment - Pre Laser Tag - Laser Tag Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Had such a great time here! Came for a work event and the bowling was so much fun. We got to even take our own photos that showed on the animation screens that made us all get a good laugh. Bowling area was very clean and the host who helped us out was sweet. The waiter that brought over our food and drinks was also attentive and had a great attitude. Typical bar food and such, but definitely something decent to munch on. They also have laser tag and a huge arcade! We didn't do laser tag, but the arcade was a blast! They had a lot of games and even an area to cash in your tickets for some cute prizes, just like a Dave and Busters! I would definitely recommend this place for some good family or friendly fun! I will for sure be returning here :) read more

Where to start? If you grew up in Greensboro this bowling alley has gone through some major changes since the bowling alley we all knew from the 90s through the early 00s. The appearance is very modern. If you want to venture to this location on the weekend, make a reservation and plan ahead. We walked in and were shocked by the crowd. We took 6 children and it can be pretty pricey if you factor in the bowling alley and the game room. This place gets insanely busy on the weekends from what I can tell. So much so I almost had anxiety navigating through the areas. The building is not that large and they have birthday parties sandwiched in with regular patrons. There is limited seating in the game room area while you wait for a lane. They have menus on the tables, but no waitresses in the gaming area to take your order. There are a couple of spots that are reserved areas, which further limits the waiting space. I saw a VIP and bar area. The game room is slightly expensive. Games average between $1.50-$5.00. You must purchase a game card and add funds to it to play. Laser tag is another option and another charge. You can redeem your points from the games you've played to win prizes in the prize room. They didn't clean our lane before we took over. Pizza droppings on the chairs and receipts laying everywhere. There is no one to walk you through the process of setting up...it's not hard...I recommend getting your kid or teen to do it lol the graphics on the screen are super cute. They have large tvs at the end of the lanes showing the sport games and such. Forget getting service when calling the service button. I cancelled it twice for having balls in the gutters. We sent someone from our party to order food (just fries and water) around the second frame, because there was no way to order from a waitress or food ordering module before we started our game. The food never came while we played. We had to go get them at frame 9. While we went hunting for the fries, the game shut down on us during frame 9 and said for us to go back to the front desk to continue to play...I'm assuming to pay again. I get it...we paid for an hour. Yep, no thank you...there was a long line again. We had been waiting for quite some time beforehand so we just decided it was time to leave. I don't think I've ever been bowling and didn't play the whole 10 frames. Most places of this nature are busy, but this just seemed like chaos. read more

Best place in town for bowling and hanging out. Since the time they have upgraded this place, it has improved a lot. The restaurant/bar has good food and drinks options and is perfect when you are waiting for your lane to be available. If you like a bit more special setup for a party or your group , the VIP suite area is perfect. We always enjoy our time here and the service is good most days. read more

My friends and I were here on a Saturday night around 730pm. It was an hour wait to get a lane. So....We visited the restaurant/bar and ordered food and drinks. The drinks were made Strong and had some kick. Our lane was ready within 50mts. We told our server our lane and we began bowling. It took our food abut 30mts to finally come out. But when it did....Yum Yum!!! Loaded hash browns and egg rolls=Amazing!!! Great atmosphere Lots of workers that checked on us for refills and if we needed any other food items. We rented the lane for 2hrs. Security was there. We felt safe. They have remodeled and it looks phenomenal! We did go to the arcade for some Air Hockey and Basketball Fun!! I'll definitely be returning here. read more

Spare Time is a fun family friendly recreational center! It's a upscale bowling center that is sectioned off into different rooms that allows for adults to be separated from kid parties. They have a full blown restaurant inside that is nothing like the typical bowling alley eatery. It's a nice sit in restaurant with a full bar and nice menu! They have a huge arcade for the kids, and an impressive laser tag room for kids and adults alike! read more

I am very disappointed in management. It should never be a reason for one person to be working when you're expecting a party. It took forever to accommodate everyone. read more

Geez! What a good time! Of course there are children here, it's a place for kids... and yes, kids are noisy. And hyper. And running around. And sticky. Me, too, sometimes... That goes with the territory. But all in all, for being an adult woman with her grown friend kicking it here, we had a solid time! We went bowling. The staff was patient and friendly and knowledgeable. At one point some lady was screaming at the manager about kids doing this and kids doing that - but it's like, really? Frost out, Karen. The manager and workers have no control over what children do! Aside from that, everything was chill. My first experience bowling and it was great. To the family whose bowling balls we stole the entire time we were next to them: sorry! I didn't even realize we were supposed to get our own balls from the wall of balls in the back. If you're going here for the first time, tip: look for the wall of balls. It's in the back, and you can't miss it (it's a wall of balls.) read more

Arrived at 4:45 to celebrate a birthday and was given a buzzer for a wait for bowling lanes. Then went to make a reservation for Laser tag and was given a red piece of cardboard to indicate a spot for 5:45. I was also told to return to confirm the number of people when our entire party arrived. Which I did at 5:30 and paid. I made all Laser tag arrangements with the same girl. At 5:45 our party was AT Laser tag. With no instructions given, the same girl let other people in to Laser tag, not our party! She was very rude. When I went to ask her why, she was very rude to me too. I complained to a supervisor, who refunded my money. We'd been there for an 1 1/2 hours by now! What a waist of time. We left. read more

Arcade games are alright, bowling is the best here. Getting a game card is quite the expense for the amount of games there are. I've done the laser tag here and it's fun as well! I've never tried any of the food/drinks. There is Also a Photo Booth in the arcade which I always enjoy for a good memory box moment. read more

Let me do my best to make a positive sandwich...1) This place has nearly everything to make your time here enjoyable. It's family friendly while still designed to enable a group of adults to have a great time. There are two sides for bowling and a VIP room. There are a plethora of games and there's a very nice bar/restaurant area in the middle. 2) Don't order anything except a fried appetizer. The wings are decent as are the Southwest eggrolls. This led us to order other items. The burgers are frozen kind such that the meat looks gray and totally lack any taste. The chicken sandwich was terrible and dry and even the chicken tenders were burnt and tasted like dry paper. When we got the bill, we were shocked to learn that each soft drink was 3.25!! The value for money is not there. In addition, the games are pricey and will run approximately 1.25-1.50 per 30 seconds. After $75 and all adults experiencing digestive issues, we left. 3) To end on a positive, the staff is great! read more

The place was very clean. My family had fun. But the worker taking the money could be a little happier and welcoming.

My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We had a great time because we left TGI Fridays and took and uber. This allowed us to drink as much as we wanted! The bowling alley was clean, festive and laid back. The bathroom was clean. We enjoyed great music, games and the atmosphere. We won game cards for the arcade from Friday's and had $20 to play with. The food was pretty good, your average bar food! My favorite part was the music playing accompanied by the video. My husband and I had a blast bowling, singing and dancing, playing video games and eating! There was even a private party section with a full bar and a few lanes. There were a ton of different size balls, like I have never seen so many! They had a laser tag but we didn't get a chance to play. Maybe next time. read more

Customer service is garbage here. Came for my niece's birthday party and they didn't come to check us in until almost 30 minutes after our start time. Couldn't get drinks, we ordered a pretzel and they gave it to someone else and didn't even tell us. I'd give 0 stars if possible. Will never come back here again read more

Do not go for the food. We sat in the dining room for 30 minutes and no one ever came by to wait on us. We had to walk over to the bar to ask if we were supposed to place our order with them. They finally sent a waitress over to our table. The food we ordered was not good (Buffalo chicken wrap, Cheeseburger, Chicken wings) except for the Dynamite Shrimp and tater tots. The arcade wasn't hitting on much, there was only a handful of games that were worth playing. The trashcan in the women's restroom was overflowing and had trash all over the floor from where no one had been in to change the trash. read more

This Spare Time Fun Center has good facilities and equipment. Bowling, Arcade games and Lazor Tag for the kids. The one star rating is due to the extremely, poor and terrible customer service. My kids love the arcade and have a great time, so do I. The employees that, all they have to do is stand behind the counter, scan the card to let you know how many tickets you have are the worst. Don't pay attention and make you wait. They are either talking to another co-worker or talking on the phone. I wish I could remember the names to share. read more

Met up here with my sons 11 to 13-year-old basketball team for their end of season celebration. Was able to hang out in the VIP area where they have separate lanes, multiple tables, a pool table, mini TVs, a separate bar and servers.

While having an issue with the game card loading machine for the arcade, the manager at Jack was kind enough to come and assist us. They have a separate Bar area, and laser tag. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon! Sign up for the emails for deals. They also do a kids bowl for free program in the summer! read more

Spare Time Entertainment - Arcade - Laser Tag Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

It's probably been 20 years since I've been here and this place is definitely not the same. They have renovated it, updated the arcade, and are building a restaurant smack dab in the middle of the lanes. It's actually pretty cool. The good? The waiter was on top of things. The game was fun. And there's no longer the haze of thick cigarette smoke to play in. The bad? Our lane got frozen. We had to ask 3 people to fix it because they kept saying they would, and then no one would ever come. Fifteen minutes later I had to go to the front desk and complain. We were playing by the hour and that was quite a chunk of our hour. The lady at the desk said we would be able to get in 4-5 games within the hour (there were 4 of us) but that was impossible. We didn't even make it through 2 games in an hour, and we were rolling back to back. I also hated that when you play by the hour, you don't get to finish your game. It was quite frustrating to have to wait for someone to come fix our lane, and then make it to the 9th round and our game shut off. I would have thought that after a certain point, the game would let you finish. They're definitely going in the right direction by improving the experience. SpareTime just needs to realize when you improve the experience, you actually have to improve the customer service along with it. read more
