Located halfway in-between Litchfield and Jonesville on M-99 rural Hillsdale County, is a small but…read moreexciting bowling center. Considering the location of this place, it reminds you of the movie "Field of Dreams." There's an old saying "If you build it they will come and bowl." This is certainly the case with L&J Lanes. With high school bowling becoming a sanctioned sport in Michigan a few years ago, bowling centers have seen a dramatic increase in youth activity. Litchfield and Jonesville Lanes is the home to both school district's bowling teams. Likewise, this place is ideal for teachers to take their grade school students on an outing in the community, and enjoy an afternoon of fun, while exposing the kids to the sport for the first time. L&J Lanes offers party packages for kids and corporate events alike. They have 12 fully modern synthetic lanes manufactured by Brunswick, and a completely remodeled interior. The best part is they are smoke free!

I came in last weekend for a bachelorette party. I called ahead and made a reservation. We were…read moresupposed to golf but it ended up raining so lucky this bowling alley was open at noon, unlike a nearby one that didn't open until 4pm! The staff was all so friendly, nice and accommodating for us! We all commented on how the food/snacks/bar bites they had were soo perfectly tasty. I highly recommend this bowling alley if you're looking for a fun activity in this area!

It's strange, stumbling upon a six-year-old review and your polite, official response. I had…read moreforgotten the particulars of that visit, and it was like reading about a different person's frustration. I will, however, always appreciate the polite way you acknowledged the problem back then. My son and I just visited again. The kitchen had a sign up about renovations, and the employees were a different breed this time; not rude, just nonchalant. When I asked about a pool table, one just laughed and said no. We had a great time on the lanes, though, even if my son did manage to tweak his wrist on the final frame. As for the water, we didn't ask for any. I suppose, in a way, I don't want to know if it was ever fixed. The mystery of the odd color and the weird taste is a better story, and in a world where everything is supposed to be perfect, a good, weird story is a rare and beautiful thing.

Got home and set up the TV dinner tray to eat the wings and watch a movie. I was surprised at how many drummies were in it compared to wings! That was a bonus. They weren't small either. The buffalo sauce had a nice flavor and was spicy enough. No real complaint other than the price. 10 wings for $14.89. It's not bad, but it's not great. I've had ready to go smoked ones for less than $10.00 and you got 14 wings.

I live just down the road and have gone twice since moving to Coldwater 5 years ago. The first time…read morewas a Friday, we got there early and were told if a league came in we had to give up our lane so we played a quick game. We ordered food first, before many people came and didn't get it until they'd served a whole league and had to ask after an hour. The second time was a Wednesday, we were told a league was coming in and we couldn't play so we just ate. The food was decent and the bartender was nice. It's off-putting to not actually be able to bowl here though, I've never had that happen at other places I guess.

We definitely ended up paying more as I had to go get more cards mid-day so that didn't make me too happy. We started with the mini golf, which could definitely use some attention. Hole #7 was flooded so we had to skip that one. A lot of bricks are missing and there is a lot of rocks and debris on the green. The 18 holes are very plain with just a large boulder or two in the way. Next was lazer tag, this was one of our favorite things to do (we did it twice as a family). The first time everything went perfect. The 2nd time my gun and my son's gun kept turning off. Was annoying that we could still be shot as the vest worked, but the guns would turn off and then finally back on.. only to turn off again. The Go Kart Rides were fun, they give you a lot of laps and the cars are in good shape. The arcade games are pretty pricey, I would only recommend doing them if you have an unlimited or time card so you're not paying the "retail price" of the game. We loved the bowling. The server was fast and fantastic. The Balladium was enjoyed by the balls, but be warned, they shoot fast and hard. The workers there work very hard at the climbing wall and ropes course. I was very appreciative of them encouraging and motivating my boys when they were too apprehensive to do the zip line and climbing wall. We will defiantly be back in the future, and now I know what we like and what activities we don't need to do in the future.
