    Pros: Ambiance was very over the top, in a good way. Lot's of stuff to do and look at every which way you look. Lot's of table space looking around at a lot of TVs. I was very surprised to find beef birria pizza on a menu that was mostly just regular sports bar food. Cons: While that pizza was unique, the execution was a little questionable. Very few toppings, poorly cooked crust, and a dipping sauce that was almost more soy sauce than it was birria. Also, don't get me started on the service. The most rude bartender I've ever interacted with in my life. Tips: Come here if you're staying at one of the attached hotels.

    Whirly ball was so fun! We had booked an hour of time and check-in was super fast and easy. They explained the rules to us and showed us how to operate the bumper cars and then we got to play a couple rounds. The bumper carts were comfortable to sit in, but definitely wear pants as my legs got a little bruised up from the handle bumping into me whenever I got bumped by other cars. The court is a little warm so I would wear something lighter and breathable. There is not much space to store any belongings in the court so don't bring too much in. We also got a few beers before the game. The bartenders were super nice and friendly! Beers were reasonably priced -- it was $17 for two michelob ultras and one stella.

    Setting up a reservation for whirly ball was super quick and easy. I got all my questions answered over the phone with Liz! Staff was super friendly and genuine the day of as well - shoutout to Elijah. Whirly ball cars were super smooth and easy to work with. We had one unoccupied car and it didn't disrupt our game at all. Elijah was attentive to all of our needs and easygoing.

    Had an awesome time at WhirlyBall Twin Cities! The staff were friendly, knowledgable, and helped keep the game on track. Whirlyball is a mix of bumper cars, lacrosse, and basketball all at once. Bumper cars are on a basketball type court and everyone has a scoop to pass and shoot a wiffle ball to score on the other team's board. The facilities were clean and well kept. Inside the arena it is hot so best to dress in lighter clothes - exercise clothes worked well.

    Went to a work trip in Minnesota and Whirly Ball was listed as a team activity. I signed up and went in blind not looking up anything about it. I just knew I wanted to win lol..This ended up being a lot of fun. A mix between bumper cars and lacrosse? Either way it works. I played several games as its only 10 mins per game. I highly recommend it. It was nice doing something different and I would definitely do it again.

    OMG! This place is a blast! Definitely will be back!! This place is deceivingly huge and has everything from 2 floors of whirly ball, an escape room, laser tag, bowling, and many bars to serve you! The food is really good as well! I think I spent most of the 4 hours there playing laser tag and whirly ball. First of all, what the heck is whirly ball you ask? Well imagine sitting in a bumper car, and tryin to play lacross. The object of the game is to throw the whiffle ball into the target that is as tall as a basketball hoop. Now, it is harder than it sounds but is soo much fun! You get to really see the competitive nature in everyone! The laser tag arena is also super fun! You can play teams or singles. One note, you get super sweaty running around! but you get to see where you rank on the scoreboard when you are finished and that makes people want to shoot you even more! Definitely a fun time!

    Attended a birthday party - exclusively for laser tag here. We rented the space for 1 hr each round is about 7-10 minutes with a couple minutes in between to switch out players and check the score board. We arrived a few minutes before check in time to grab drinks and socialize. They did not have drink menus and when the bartender noticed me looking up the online menu on my phone he told me they don't put out the drink menus out because they don't carry all the ingredients to make the drinks listed on the site/menu. He made me some kind of fruity drink. Overall nice bar staff. Laser tag- we had a little over 20 ppl show up. It was around $350/1 hr of laser lag (~$17 per person). Outside of the arena the staff explained the rules and how things worked. The place was a bit loud with everything going on (other parties and such) but we got the gist of things. We then moved to a tiny room where the vest/laser guns were. As we were a large group we needed every vest available. Part way through the first round a few of the vest died/weren't charged so that made every round less ppl which meant less rounds for everyone to play in general. The arena was a decent size for the amount of people they allow in at a time. It was 2 stories and enough room to move around. I will say this, the first room we entered to get gear smelled REALLY bad - musty/sweat & food (the staff were eating) then when you step into the arena it smelled like pee. That part alone made me rate low because based on a lot of the vest not being charged and the smells, everything felt dirty and gross & it was hot in the arena, which made me not want to participate anymore. The vest needed to be cleaned because they smelled & who wants to put on a musty vest?! We went on a Wednesday night and it was very busy despite being a week day. They have an upstairs bar but it was closed despite how busy the place was. We needed water and had to go back downstairs to get it. The staff was nice enough to give us cups and a few pitchers to bring upstairs for our party - again great bar staff!!! I probably wouldn't go here again but the issues I had could definitely be fixed easily.

    Our group of 12 family members from 23-61 had the best time on Black Friday at whirlyball. We are always on the lookout for things to do when the extended family is in town for thanksgiving so decided to give this a try. What is it:a mash up of bumper cars, track ball played on a small basketball court How it works: -5 v 5 -red v yellow -games are 9 min so we subbed in and out -scoring is automatic -fun for all adults -lots of different strategies-defense? Offense? Blocking? Hide by the goal? We booked 90 min but the standard is an hour. Looked like they had about three courts, we were upstairs. I did later find a couple of bruises in odd spots on knees and hips and you have to sign a waver. You get instructions before and steer with a sort of joy stick that is easier than the complicated description but once you start doing it you'll get the hang of it quickly. Note-you really have to hit the exact center of the basketball backboard sized target to score-no mulligans in this game!

    Whirlyball is like playing lacrosse & basketball on bumper cars. They had several parties while I was there, so it was a little busy. There is, also, a bar, laser tag and bowling. So, something for everyone to do. This is a great team sport for families, coworkers, and friends. Doesn't look like it, but the competition can get fierce. It could, also, be a great ice breaker. While this game looks simple, it is challenging. I didn't scored any points, but I gave a couple of assists. If I'm in an area, again, where this is offered, I will definitely be playing this, again.

    Nachos to go

    WHERE'S MY SOUR CREAM? I love me some condiments and I ordered extra sour cream. I didn't get any sour cream? We were staying at the hotel next door and opted for a late dinner from Whirly. We easily placed the order over the phone and my husband walked over to pick it up. He said the place was bumping inside! I have to say- I had chicken nachos and the portion was large! It was a little dry and they forgot my sour cream! The avocado was tasty. My husband said he enjoyed having a drink here while he waited- he enjoyed the people watching.

    I swear this place popped up out of nowhere! I'm super stoked that there is a new place to hangout at in Bloomington. What a fun concept this place is! When I went last week it was still in the process of being set up, at the time there was no arcade. There is bowling and progressive bowling, I can't explain it but you use bumpers they light up different colors and you score points that way? Something like that :) 2 bars, a kitchen. Lots of nice seating options, an outdoor deck. I think rooftop seating? And Whirly Ball, I'd say it's a combination of bumper cars, lacross & basketball. Looks like a fun challenge! So many bartenders, never waited for anything, quick service! I had the trio of sliders, cuties & yummy! Husband had a spicy burger with the house fries and seasoned dip, I tried a couple & that dip rocks! , I want to get a group of peps together and go back soon.

    Super dirty, sticky menus, and they messed up the order. Honestly, I've never seen so many dirty tables in my entire life do not recommend

This is definitely something that I want to be checking out for the future. Bowling is obviously their main attraction. They have a lot of lanes and they do a great job you pay by the hour. The best part is that they have a great happy hour and I would recommend finding a time when that is because it's a great place to eat and drink while you bowl. We ordered lots of appetizers and everything was above par frozen food. For a quick appetizers, we were happy. Better than Applebee's any day. Overall, a great place to bring your kids. It's nice to support a local company versus a bigger corporation.

    You really have to know your coupons and your Groupon's to be able to walk out of here feeling like…read moreyou got a fair deal. It was a late Sunday afternoon and I was looking to take two teens and a five-year-old bowling. $7.50 per person - per game - plus mandatory shoe rental at six dollars per person to include the five-year-old. It all adds up. The bitter berry on my cake is the fact that I paid $35 for an appetizer sampler that would've cost half elsewhere - was COLD when it came out along with the nachos. Mind you the place might have been a little understaffed but they were trying. Two games of bowling, shoes, nachos, app sampler, pop drinks, plus a tip was over $200 as a walk in on a Sunday... is that what it costs now!!!? It was okay, I'd try again but I'd be super mindful on what time I'm coming in and ask upfront what total costs will be. Maybe eat a meal elsewhere. Besides that it seemed okay for what it was. Trendy decor and tons of screens for young and old humans to be entertained by.

    Bowlero Lakeville Rocks for Birthday Parties!…read more We just had the BEST 10th birthday party for our son Jaycen at Bowlero Lakeville this past Saturday! They reserved 3 bowling lanes for our group of 17 kids and a few adults, which was perfect. Food & Drinks: We opted for their party package and it was fantastic. The chicken tenders, fries, pizza, hot dogs, chips & salsa, and chocolate chip cookie cake were a huge hit with the kids (and adults!). There was also unlimited soda (Pepsi products) which kept everyone happy and hydrated. Amazing Staff: A huge shoutout to Felicia, the General Manager, and Jenna, the Event Manager. They were both phenomenal! Felicia was on top of everything, making sure our party ran smoothly. We were so impressed to see her helping Jenna clean up after the party - that kind of leadership doesn't go unnoticed! She was incredibly friendly and truly made Jaycen's birthday special. Both Felicia and Jenna checked in with us constantly to make sure we had everything we needed - they were on point! Fun for Everyone: The kids even got arcade game cards loaded with funds to play with, and Felicia and Jenna encouraged them to enjoy both bowling and the arcade games. They were incredibly patient with all the excited boys running around. Taking it Home: After the party, Jenna helped us gather all the leftover food and provided boxes so we could take it home (seriously, enough food for days!). Overall Experience: This was an absolute slam dunk of a birthday party! Felicia's management and Jenna's event coordination made it such a success. Felicia absolutely deserves recognition for her fantastic leadership, and Jenna for her excellent service. They were both amazing and so easy to work with. Thank you, Bowlero Lakeville! P.S. This Bowlero location seems to have really improved since our last visit. We will definitely be back and will encourage friends to host their birthday parties and even events here!!

    Was a busy Friday night at Cedarvale lanes that's for sure. I called ahead to make a lane…read morereservation and was a bit frustrated they didn't take reservations on Fridays. They also told me they had league night which in my experience is a bit strange for a Friday. They assured me they'd still have a lane open when we arrive at 830Pm. Upon arrival they had a huge line and waitlist and everyone had to wait until league got out at 9pm; felt further frustrated. We got onto our lane at 905pm, not the worst as we got a round of pool in prior to playing. From here, the night went nice and smooth. Prices were a lot higher than I remember, $27 a person for 2 hours, but that's the economy I suppose. Got 3 games in, in 2 hours between 4 people. Ordered a couple pizzas, which were okay but a bit underwhelming. Years ago I remember this bowling alley having quite good pizza but it seems they downgraded their kitchen, at least after 9pm, and they only served personal sizes, no large pizzas. Regardless of the frustrating wait, and odd and underwhelming pizza, I enjoyed a nice evening of bowling with friends.

    We love Cedarvale! We like to come here on Sunday mornings when it opens and it's not busy at all…read more The people working the counter are always helpful and nice! There is also a restaurant and you can get service to your lanes to order food or drinks which is great as well. There's a proshop in the alley where I got some plugs for my ball as well and it's all reasonably priced. I highly reccomend this bowling alley!
