recently had my daughter's birthday party here and it was amazing! great price, kind helpful staff. delicious food. a wonderful time!!!!!!!

Nice bowling alley. Great for birthday parties or a big group. Very chilled vibe with music and loud conversations. It is a bowling alley that's super fun. Chicken tenders and fries are extremely good! Pizza is mediocre. Wraps are delicious. Service for food is a tad slow and they had a hard time keeping up with our party. We had six lanes all next to each other with preplanned food orders. Parking is not great. There's construction going on so you have to walk to get to entrance on side; not ideal for handicap individuals like myself. There's a parking lot but not convenient. read more

We enjoyed the Halloween event. The Pizza tasted great. Neither of us had bowled in a long time and the electronic control was really cool. We were used to keeping score with a pencil and paper. The lanes were well kept and when our daughter experienced an issue with one of the gutter bumpers not coming up a staff member came right over and fixed it in minutes. We had a great time. I've since gone back there to get some more practice in and had the same great service and experience with staff. Thanks! read more

Good luck trying to have a fun night bowling at this place if you are not a professional never open to the public especially on the weekends and when they do open to the public they neglect to tell you people make reservations hours before it's open after bowling leagues this place only caters to bowling leagues not families trying to have a fun night on the weekend read more

My family and I went here for a special promotion, Bowling with Santa. It was $75, and you got a lane for up to 6 people for 3 hours, a pitcher of soda, shoe rental, and a picture with Santa. The bowling alley was totally filled so it was busy. However, the staff stayed on top of everything. The food was what you would expect at a bowling alley. The pizza was made there and not frozen which is good. I stay low carb, so I did not have any myself, but my family said it tasted good and was hot. The staff was responsive and friendly, and took care of issues when you asked. For example, one of my kids wanted bumpers, and they quickly accomadated. The promotion was a good deal. We had lots of fun, and it was nice getting out of the house. We are all vaccinated and have boosters so the lack of COVID protocols did not matter to us. However, if you are more risk aversive, it is probably good to know that there are any protocols in place. The place seems like it is operated in a pre-covid fashion which is ok by my family, but is still good information to have if you want to come here. read more

What a great time today at Thunderbird Lanes (Warminster) with the kids. They run a great promo for "Kids Bowl Free" for the Summer and the Glennon and Sullivan kids had an absolute blast. Food was great, totally affordable (Pizza was better than Chuck E Cheese, iykyk) with a cute arcade and a sweet full bar. Special thanks to Bobby Rodebaugh, St Helena class of 95 and CD class of 99 and his great staff for a super fun rainy day! https://www.kidsbowlfree.com https://warminster.thunderbirdlanes.com read more

Last I checked, there were several Thunderbird Lanes locations: in northeast Philadelphia, Willow Grove, and Warminster. There may be more - or less - now, thanks to the tanking economy. I've only been to the Warminster one. They've got an arcade, and I think they even have a pool table or two, but we all know I could have hallucinated that since that was years ago but now the doctors say I'm okay but it's tough to tell reality apart from not-reality, know what I mean? (Of course you do.) Obviously, we all go to bowling alleys to bowl (at least I do), and Thunderbird Lanes is a good all-around bowling alley. It's clean, inexpensive, and has plenty of room - not only ample parking, but room to handle a crowd - and it DOES get crowded, thanks to their triptastic laser light show offering. read more

Reviews looked good and my fiancé and I were in town so decided to bowl. Show up and ask if any lanes are open and the lady behind the counter was obviously annoyed and asked if we had a reservation which we did not. She rolled her eyes and basically berated us for not making a reservation and I suggested we could leave ( obviously weren't wanted here) and she magically had a lane for us. I've never been greeted with such attitude when we just asked a question and weren't demanding to bowl. Safe to say we won't chose to come here when we come back to town read more

The lanes are so oily and they said there are open lanes but we got there they said 1 hour and 45 minutes

I'm a frequent customer at this bowling alley. I recently went there and tried to order a chicken finger platter. They didn't have any chicken fingers so they gave me buffalo wings without the sauce and fries. When my order came, the wings were hard as rocks and I was only given maybe a half of a handful of fries. When I brought it back to the snack bar I was informed that they have to now weigh their food. For $10 I feel this was a big rip off and I would never order from the snack bar again. read more

Today was my first time stopping in Thunderbird Lanes in Warminster Square. I've been up in the Warrington/Warminster area before plenty of times and drove by Thunderbirds Lanes a few times, but I never had the opportunity to stop in until now. It wasn't too hard to find even at night because of the signs outside pointing around the building to the entrance. Not surprisingly 9PM on a Saturday night was pretty crowded to get a lane and the bar was pretty crowded too, which is pretty awesome as many bowling alleys near me do not have a bar. The prices for bowling seemed fair too. Bowling was pretty fun, the food was decent, and the bathrooms seemed pretty neat so I would like to come back in the future sometime when I'm in the area! read more

This place is great. They run a great league for kids it's very inclusive. So glad we found it, my youngest son loves this place.

I think that Thunderbird Lanes is a great place to bowl especially for parents with little kids. Me and a couple friends went there a few weeks ago and it was a great time. We played two games and had a blast lots of laughs. Lots of options on menu when we looked before going. read more

They didn't play my song when I requested it so normally I would give it three star, but the guy working there was cute so fours stars.

Couldn't believe it, but we were able to get a lane on a Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. without any wait. The bowling alley is pretty clean, and the lanes were in good shape. Oftentimes, I go to bowling alleys where there are quite a few lanes broken down, so this was nice to have everything seem to be in good order. My only real gripe is that there were hardly any 10lb balls to be found. Tons and tons of 8lb balls, and quite a few 14lb balls, none of which would work for me. The staff was helpful and friendly and the overall vibe of this bowling alley was great. I look forward to returning. read more

It's a bowling alley. And there are not many around my home-town, so we go here. The prices are high, but you can use the kidsbowlfree coupons during the week. The alleys are clean and machines work well, so can't complain, but I try to exhaust every other rainy/hot day option before I come here. read more

Overall experience good enough. Place is clean. Has a nice little bar and other amenities. Not a great selection of house bowling balls. Very small actually. The most off-putting thing about the place is the customer service. Behind the counter is one man who probably owns the place along with several kids. Good luck getting help from one of the kids other than fetching shoes, etc. The man answers all other questions, however he always seems to be tied up on the phone. I assembled a group of 9 family members for my wife's birthday. Paid over $100. Noticed he made mention of someone's else's birthday during our event on the PA. I immediately went to his desk to ask him if he'd give a birthday shout out to my wife as well. He looked at me and rolled his eyes and murmured something under his breath. Never a mention. Thanks pal. You're such a class act. Just go down to Lucky Strike in the city. So much more quality across the board. Or maybe check out other options in the area. But what really ruins this place is that guy behind the counter. read more

Called in today to see if lanes were available and was able to place a reservation. Showed up and paid the $70 for 3 bowlers and 1 pair for 2 hours. With being a league and tournament bowler you understand open bowling is just that, open. We walk down to our lane and it's crowded around us which is fine. We get ready and put our equipment on the rack and that is when everything went down hill. The approaches were so damn tacky it felt like I was still wearing sneakers and the lanes looked like they haven't seen oil since winter leagues ended. After almost rolling my ankle 3 times from the massively tacky approaches we packed our bags and left after playing 1 game. 70 dollars is a lot of money for the absolutely horrid lane conditions that were there. Only reason the review is 2 stars is because at least the rest of the alley was nice and clean. I rather go bowling on asphalt then come back here for open play again. read more

It might be a little expensive and one of the best games I've played this far. This is a big place so I called before going in and they were open till 8pm on a Monday. read more

There weren't many people there but it was a clean facility which I always appreciate. The lanes were in good shape and the place has a good vibe. Went here for a date night and had a good time. They have good deals on beer pitchers and their food is good. Pricing for bowling is very reasonable too. read more

So this is my 3rd trip, and let me Say it's awful. People were vaping inside of the alley. The desk attendant didn't care about anything I said or asked for example my ball got stuck, and after the 5th time of me going up there he finally called someone. The bathrooms were disgusting. The bowling wasn't too bad, but how about a little bit of respect and courtesy for your customers? read more

Wonderful customer service and management!! My family is a lot to handle with my crazy nieces and nephews, but the staff was still lovely and accommodating. Would recommend for a fun family night 10/10 or also a night out as they have a nice bar and food read more

If only I could give a 0 star rating I would. The front desk staff was rude and inattentive. Upon arriving to an empty bowling alley at 9:30 when they open at 9:00 we were told that they did not have any lanes open until 12:30. read more

Monday night 2$ games, 2$ beers. Kind and friendly staff. Not your luxury bowling alley, but it's a fun place if you are looking for something to do with a group of friends read more

The new ownership and management have done so much to upgrade this place. It doesn't look like much on the outside (main sign was damaged in a storm), but inside new furniture, upgraded bar and bistro restaurant. Much expanded menu; awesome food and the best pizza anywhere around. The lanes have been improved too, so the bowling is much more consistent. read more

Couldn't be more dissatisfied. We had our oldest son's birthday here back in December and half of the arcade games were broken, including the token machine, along with several other service issues. This afternoon we attended two separate birthday parties and nothing has changed. Further, the front desk didn't have any tokens for the few operable games at the arcade, all of the pizza for both the parties was extremely late, and my wife went to the bathroom where there was no toilet paper. The staff mostly stood around looking confused. No idea how this place stays in business. They are leaving a fortune on the table just in the arcade alone. 60 kids willing to spend $ and everything was broken! Don't have your child's birthday party here! read more

The new synthetic lanes are not good if you're thinking of using spin on your ball. Also the lanes are very scratchy.

I mean I'm not really complaining about the bowling. I took a trip to the bathroom. On the door there is a sign that says "don't flush anything but toilet paper" fine okay, most places have that but most places have a trash can where I can place my sanitary products. I don't really want to walk out of the stall holding bloody napkins, okay? read more

This is what I'm looking for in a bowling alley. Lane was nice and oiled, so my ball hooked consistently all night (shot my all time high score). They have a bar with decent prices, they have a snack bar with the standard fried foods. I was impressed most with the lanes (because that's what I care most about), although I did take a star off because the radar guns didn't really seem that accurate. All I can say is I'm a fan and I'll be returning. read more

The wait was too long so we left to go to the York Road one...call ahead!

Pretty standard bowling alley. It seemed clean inside. Didn't smell like stale cigarettes. Somewhat of a beer selection. Pizza wasn't to my liking but that's just a personal preference. Looks to be pretty well maintained. read more

They should update their website if there's a fundraiser on a Saturday when they advertise glow bowling for kids and in reality there's no lanes available and no glow bowling. read more

I am always amazed at how impactful interactions with people are on my feelings about life. It seems that service that shows appreciation for my business is rare and everyday on the news we're bombarded with what's wrong with how we relate to each other as fellow humans. Well my experience tonight at Thunderbird Lanes was incredibly so the opposite. Kevin (the awesome Dude that checked us in) made me and my kids feel beyond welcome as customers. We will gladly return here and recommend that if you have a choice of where to bowl, BOWL HERE! read more

Great place to have a great time!!!! Vaping was allowed and everyone had a great time! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly!

This place has really gone downhill a little bit. The bowling is fine. I mean, it's bowling. But the bathrooms are dirty and the staff is lazy. It's just a little unkept. I hope they raise their standards and clean it up a little. There aren't many bowling alleys around anymore. read more

Jim at the Pro-Shop was extremely helpful and very nice. Couldn't ask for a nicer guy to help you out. If I ever get a new bowling ball, I would most definitely go to this pro-shop and ask for Jim. read more
