We bowl in a league here and it's a fun place. Really enjoy the people that bowl and the folks that work here. Only bummer is that if you bowl on your own it seems like you always get folks next to you that don't have any bowling courtesy. I wish the front desk would monitor that. You don't get that at Yosemite Lanes and McHenry Bowl. You really can't beat their food. There are so many options and they are all good. The pizza is off the hook good. Wings very good. We have had just about everything on the menu, and it never disappoints. The place is always clean. There are several couches at the lanes that need reupholstering, however. All in all, a great place for families. read more

Nice bowling alley but remember to bring LOTS of $$$&. I like the concept of monitoring your game through an app on your mobile phone. HOWEVER, $65 on a Sunday is ridiculous. The last time we were here was about 2yrs ago. We'd come by more if the price wasn't so expensive which is why the next time we'll come by will be another 2-5 years. Every other bowling alleys' price is the cheapest on Sundays. Quality of service: A Quality of food: A (we only had garlic fries) (no outside drink, even in a tumbler - understandable) Price: $$$ read more

I went yesterday with my wife & son for my birthday and our server was Ashley Fresno I'm not to sure if that's her last name but she was amazing she deserves a raise she does so well she kept checking in on us made sure I got my free desert and overall kind that's what we need is more like her she definitely made my birthday a good one Thank you Joseph Vasquez :) read more

Every employee we came in contact with was patient explaining how to get a card to load money on it, bowling and laser game. Refreshing as most young kids in the service industry are clueless. This place has it all! Including a full bar. Nicely air conditioned to escape the Valley heat. Very very clean. You can order food while bowling and they bring it to you! And... it was pretty good. Prices were fair for what you get. definitely will be back! My grandude had a blast. read more

The large pepperoni pizza was served hot and had a very nice crispy crust. We also shared a great plate of garlic parmesan wings while playing our games of bowling. read more

Lililiana is a MOST unkind front desk clerk. She made me feel like she was doing me a favor by allowing me to patronize this place. We may have had a good time however Liliana attitude spoiled whatever fun we may have had read more

Amazing fun for the family! We love going there. It's a family. We have bowl gone for a birthday party and we play in the arcade. Our next adventure will be our laser tag. I think we'll be doing that for my sons 12th birthday. read more

Unfortunately, this review is being negatively impacted by our experience with Antonio, the bartender in the restaurant/bar area at Ten Pin Fun Center in Turlock. We visited Saturday around 3:30 PM to celebrate my son's 13th birthday, watch playoff football, enjoy food, drinks, bowling, and games with family. When we arrived, family members were already seated in the restaurant area watching the game. We ordered draft Michelob Ultras, food, and appetizers and stayed there until about 4:45-5:00 PM. We then reserved a bowling lane for the start of the night playoff game. Six of us bowled for about 1.5 hours, with eight total attendees. During bowling, we ordered pizza, appetizers, and a few additional drinks. After bowling, the kids wanted to play more games, so we decided to return to the bar area to finish watching the game while they played. At this point, we had spent around $700 between bowling, arcade cards, food, and drinks. When we returned to the bar, seating was packed, which we completely understood. We sat down with the drinks we had from the bowling lanes. Only one person finished their drink during the 10 minutes we were seated and ordered a 7 & 7. He has back issues and wanted to relax after bowling. We were then told we could not order anything until all drinks we already had were finished. I was told no, despite the fact that I had been slowly sipping the same beer for about 30 minutes and was essentially done with it. Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, we calmly and respectfully went to the other bar, had a quick shot, used the restroom, and returned to finish watching the game. We were quiet, respectful, and kept to ourselves. When we returned, none of us had ordered another drink yet. Shortly after, security approached us and said: "I'm sorry to do this, because you guys haven't done anything wrong at all and have been the nicest people here, but you're cut off." We asked what we did wrong and were told: "Nothing, this is just a family establishment." That was confusing, considering we were there with our family celebrating our son's birthday. I then asked Antonio if I could order a beer and was told no, that we were cut off. However, two other people sitting with us--who had been there just as long--were not cut off. Even more confusing, our sober driver, who had only been drinking water, was also cut off. When we asked Antonio why, he said: "I can't overserve you. If something happens, I can go to jail." We explained that: We hadn't ordered a drink from him in over two hours I had never ordered a drink from him at all Our sober driver was sitting right there His response was: "I don't know who's driving." None of this made sense. I rarely take the time to leave reviews, but this situation was incredibly disappointing--especially considering how much money we spent and how frequently we visit. Every other staff member was fantastic, from the restaurant servers when we arrived to the bowling alley staff. Security was apologetic and even praised our behavior. Unfortunately, Antonio's attitude completely changed the experience. He was rude, dismissive, and offered no clear explanation. If we did something wrong, we would genuinely like to know--but based on security's comments, we did not. Because of this, we wrapped things up, let the kids spend their tickets, and left. It's disappointing that one employee could overshadow an otherwise great family experience at a place we visit at least once a month and spend a significant amount of money. Management should absolutely look into this situation, because this treatment was unwarranted and unacceptable. read more

Great location. Clean and aesthetically pleasing. Good bar. Some decent servers. Management and from desk is garbage. Requested a party online. Heard from no one so I repeated the request ... twice. No answer so by 2 days before the event I went online and booked lanes +shoes to ensure my sons invitees would have a good time and wait. Even with reservations we had to wait because the lane wasn't ready. Once the lane was ready we had to wait in line again for 30 minutes to check in. When I explained these things to the manager, he said he would take care of us. He did not take us to the toilet line nor did he help us to expedite our check-in. The food was good. The bar drinks were good. And our server was great. But it's doubtful that I'll return. read more

Horrible experience, I was targeted before entering their promises. I was drinking an energy drink and was told it was alcohol. I was refused entrance for this reason. read more

This is easily the most fun place in town, with bowling lanes, a great arcade, and a lively atmosphere for all ages. The bar has a good drink selection, and the restaurant food is surprisingly tasty for a bowling alley. It's perfect for family outings, date nights, or hanging out with friends. Friendly staff and a fun vibe keep us coming back. read more

The security guards still think they are Turlock PD. Feels like you are constantly being watched which ... YOU ARE! It seems like the "security guards" are constantly looking to start a problem by arguing back with patrons when the patrons begin to question the constant surveillance and "rules". Just don't serve alcohol if it's such an issue. Yosemite Lanes is still my go-to. Better vibes and better atmosphere if you're looking to have a good drink and bowl. read more

Had a fun evening bowling with the family, and celebrating a birthday. Great customer service!!Bell was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed during our time at the bowling alley. Food was great also! read more

The food was great, the fries were a little too buttery for our taste, however I cannot complain. The service was absolutely amazing. There was a system glitch around halfway through which only messed up our game. And our order was also delayed due to miscommunications among the staff. The manager made it up to us by waiving our bill and also giving us a free 30 minutes on any game we wanted. The environment was very nice and the decorations were amazing. Overall we will be coming back. Thank you Morgan and all the other staff that helped make our experience amazing. read more

So I'm going to list my review using a "pros" and "cons". For what it is worth I'm a league and tournament bowler so I'm critiquing with that mindset. Pros: The venue is very nice. Bathrooms are clean. Fully stocked bar. Wide variety of pizza, appetizers, snacks. Huge booths to sit and hang out while bowling. Lots of TVs with sports playing. Cons: Bowling prices are by the hour, sucks you can't just buy individual games. Went on a Sunday late morning and the lanes were as dry as the Mojave desert. Don't think they know what oil is, maybe they have an oil shortage or the oil machine is broke. The approaches were dirty and sticky from people spilling food and drinks all over them. Allowing food and drinks down on the lanes is never a good idea just for this reason. Hate how they have the lights dimmed during the day time. It wasn't completely dark like cosmic bowling but dark enough to be annoying. Overall fun if you just want to go hang out and if you don't actually care about bowling or bowling for score. Bring friends or family and good around. But if you are a serious bowler wanting to get some practice in you probably won't enjoy yourself. read more

Food is good - when it finally shows up. The shortest wait time we've ever had was 30 minutes for appetizers! Service is poor - servers just walk away and are never heard from again. I had to walk all the way INTO THE KITCHEN to find a server after our order. Ambiance - it's a bowling alley. Fairly clean. The alley's are well kept. The bowling is fun. The people are nice enough, but getting service is unacceptable. read more

We came for my nephew's birthday. We had to wait about 20 mins for enough lanes to open for our party size. Once seated our waiter came to get food & drink orders promptly. The pizza is actually good! I was surprised. I ordered bonessl wings and asked for the sauce on the side; they messed up Ana sauced the whole order. We let our waiter know and he apologized and let us keep those wings and brought the correct order out quickly. They don't offer pitchers or beer. Only single orders. This place is huge! Even though it has been open for a few years it still looks very nice and clean. There is a few tables on the bar area, private rooms and high top tables behind the lanes. Plenty of seating. Lanes are nice. They have bumpers and cute ramps to help the little ones. I saw a sign they have a kids league for ages 2-17. Definitely would make the drive to go here again. read more

The SERVICE was TERRIBLE and uncomfortable. My finance and I had no problem ordering two drinks at a time. But after shift change one male bartender Antonio began putting time limits on my partner on when he could order a drink.. there was no excessive alcohol drinking to begin with. And when we asked why Antonio said because there were kids around.. then he proceeded to tell us that if he doesn't wait then our whole party will be cut off. So we waited 10 minutes later to order another drink. After that Antonio cut my fiancé off. So unprofessional, and hostile for no reason. There were plenty of people sitting at the bar ordering one drink after another for hours. read more

Have been here a few times. They have an arcade for the kids to have fun while they wait for a bowling lane. They have a bar and restaurant right next door which was nice for the adults to get their drinks. Bowling and food are pricey compared to other place we have been too. All in all the bowling alley had big screen TVs, good food, clean bathrooms and good customer service. If all the lanes are taken you can ask to be added to the waitlist and a text message will be sent to you when there's an available lane. read more

Food is great. Bartenders were good. If you're going here to bowl don't waste your time. Go to Yosemite Bowl or even Bellevue Bowl. This place shouldn't be called TenPin it should be called WaitPin. We sat around for 3 hours with multiple lanes "Reserved" or "Cleaning" while we waited...and waited...and waited. We were told 2 hours. Then after that it was about 15 minutes while they "Clean" then another estimated 15-20 minutes while they "Clean". Still multiple lanes closed. It's Just not worth it. $50 an hour when you can go elsewhere for way way less. P.S I just realized I reviewed this place a month ago. Got even worse this time Never AGAIN!!!! read more

The bad: The bathroom stalls in the women's restroom are very small. There is only a few inches space between the door and toilet which means standing next to the toilet if you want to close the door. The doors should open out and not in since the stalls are small. Price was $54 for an hour of bowling for 2 people, that includes the student discount. The ok: Waited an hour for a lane to open up which was plenty of time to walk down to starbucks and get some drinks. You got a text message when your lane was ready. The good: The couches/seating areas at the bowling alley are comfortable and the employees were very friendly even though it seemed they were short staffed. They were quick to clean the tables/lanes in between groups read more

I was just at this place and there was a huge fight. There was a group of guest that were overly rowdy and it was obvious they should have been kicked out but security did nothing. Then when they were escorted out a huge fight started and it took multiple workers to break things up. It was embarrassing to watch the security not even try to prevent such an obvious thing. Extremely embarrassing for this establishment. read more

I wanted to come on here and shoutout Isaac and Sergio from the Laser Tag department. We had two big groups come in late at night wanting to do something else other than bowl and laser tag was the best option. My group was very disorganized which I know can be frustrating, but these two had great patient, leadership, and communication. They both were able to accommodate all our members of our team and went the extra mile. They did an outstanding job explaining the rules, area and helping everyone understand the nature of the game. They added an extra level of depth towards our fun and experience! I hope these two get noticed by their employer because they both impressed me. I would recommend doing the fun two story laser tag game here, especially if Sergio and Isaac are staffing the area! :) read more

Such a fun place to hang out with friends or take your kiddos. We started out with eating at their restaurant. You can order while bowling but we decided to dine in. We ordered their French dip Detroit pizza and their quesadilla. Both really delicious and would get again. Their cocktails were also super delish. Tried the lemon drop, berry mule and something sweet. We bowled for an hour and a half. An hour would have been perfect. The service was amazing though and our server checked on us multiple times. They have an arcade section as well, a great place to play especially if you are waiting for your lane. read more

terrible service and unfortunately I have to say it was the worst bowling alley I ever been to. also they cut off the homie Nate

I celebrated my 30th birthday with my family and friends here, and we had a great time. I was nervous because we had a gathering of 35 people, but everything worked out in the end. I arrived two hours early to get our names on the roster. We rented four lanes, ate at the eatery, drank at the bars, and played arcade games. The pizza and burgers were delicious. Our hostess was accommodating and welcoming. The back 8 room was a lot of fun and ideal for a large party. read more

Like the Dave n Busters and Round 1s, Ten Pin is a similar spot with an arcade, a bar and bowling area. The spot is pretty modern. Their private areas are rustic and comfy. We had a great time bowling and the lanes were OK. The young lady that checked on us was friendly. We didn't order anything to eat but she did bring us a couple of waters. Plenty of parking and probably the most entertaining thing to do in the area. Review #56 of 100 in 2023. read more

I was curious about this space since my wife and grandson told me it was all the rave when they first had gone. My curiosity is still alive and tingling with a strong urge to get more than what's obviously an upscale bowling facility, with recreational intent at the ready and for all to engage with prejudice! The staff I meet showed genuine concern for my needs. They were prompt, courteous, and rarely complacent. (Thanks Taylor!) Looking forward to coming by this way again! read more

What can I say? My only negative would be the hours. Who closes so early on a Saturday? I went on a really busy night and got to bowl in the smaller "private party" room and it was so fun. The whole place had such a great vibe with music from all genres. I'm definitely returning. read more

Loved this place! The pizza was great, and so were the mixed drinks. The bar has many options with great bartenders. They even bring your drinks and food to the table so you can bowl while you snack! Great music, cool lighting, there's an arcade and event rooms to have birthday parties in! read more

Terrible experience never coming back. Have heard nothing but great things so I decided to plan a family trip. Was quoted 20 minutes and it took an hour and 45 minutes just to be greeted by the rudest counter person ever. Didn't acknowledge us. Sat there and stared at us until we asked what we were supposed to do now since we got a text. Then he chuckled when we told him he forgot one of our pairs of shoes. When we asked to talk to a manager he chuckled again and asked what size. Never coming back. Christopher Mascorro needs an attitude adjustment. read more

Fun! Service was great and food was decent. It's a fancy bowling alley, not much more to add

Are you looking for the perfect birthday party? The Ten Pin assistant manager, party planner and party hostess succeeded to make our child's 14th birthday party delightful for him and 15 friends. We purchased the ultimate strike package, which includes bowling, laser tag, and arcade. Kisa our server did everything seamlessly, from setting up the room attractively to delivering pizza at precisely the right moment to cutting the cake. She even led the partygoers from event to event, ensuring that we the parents were not stressed. I purchased a cake and candles; besides managing the RSVPs, that was IT. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Ten Pin. The money you spend is allocated to make it a memorable experience for everyone. Highly recommend. read more

We went to Ten Pin to attempt to bowl on opening night... can we say insanely busy? O.M.G!! So we decided to grab a bite to eat instead. Our server Blake was really cool, food was great. My biggest gripe about the place is the patio has no heaters yet and it's a chilly night but we didn't want to wait for an inside table so we dealt. Overall we had a good time, and will be back for bowling when the crowds die down a little. The place looks pretty awesome too. read more

Ten Pin Fun Center - Bowling Near Me - Turlock, California

We were looking for something fun for the kids to do while in Merced and trusting in Yelp we found Ten Pin Fun Center in Turlock which is about 30 minutes away from Merced. Ten Pin is a great indoor fun center that offers bowling and arcade. They have several party rooms great for big parties and special occasions. We did bowling and on the weekends, they charge $49 per hour and $5 shoes. There were 5 of us who bowled and we played 1 1/2 games! Pretty pricey for 1 1/2 hrs of bowling but we had a lot of fun. The place was really nice, modern and clean. Offered a lot of different activities to keep the kids busy and occupied. The service was great as well. We were greeted with friendly smiles and welcoming staff. They are located in a big lot that offers a lot of parking spots. We didn't order any food bc we had a very heavy breakfast. But the food that other people had looked good. Also, the seats were super comfortable and spacious at the bowling area. They had big tv's all over the place. They played awesome music too! Everything about this place we loved. The only complaint would be the price is on the higher side. Also, I want to add that they offer discounts if you're military , first responder etc. so don't forget to ask. Wish we lived close by so that we can have our parties here! If you're looking for something fun to do, definitely hit this spot. Glad we did! read more

I've never reviewed a place low but F THIS PLACE. I asked the bartender how much pool was. He said all I have to do is give an ID and it's good. I returned and he said it was $15. I played 1 game of pool. This is absolutely insane. I paid and walked out. ABSOLUTELY WORSE PLACE EVER. read more

Date night at Ten Pin Fun Center. Since it was 1.5 hour wait for bowling, we decided to try their restaurant (Deadwood). Our waiter, Blake, was awesome! Just need heaters for the patio and a few more POS systems for the servers on the floor but otherwise it was just perfect! Thank you for bringing the fun to Turlock! read more
