To Whom May Care and It May Concern: Whitestone Lanes isn't closed and as of 4/11/2026 it is indeed fully operational (but that may be a bit of a stretch.) After searching for a bowling alley without a crazy wait on a Saturday, our search brought us here. $25 per person special to bowl for 2 hours. Cash ONLY. OKKKKK... They do have an ATM on site if you're into that but we went to the bank (10-15 mins away - Chase). The place is VERYYYYY old-school and hasn't been updated in 20-30 years, no joke. No frills - just come in and bowl. No arcades, no other extra games (therefore, no kids running around like crazy...) They have a bar and a little kitchen where you can get some junk / finger food. $3 for a soda. $10 for frozen mozzarella sticks. Parking both and in front and back but looks more like a construction zone (probably because there seemed to be construction next door.) I appreciated it for what it was - a bowling alley where I bowled a couple of terrible games. I did like how a) it wasn't too crowded at all, and b) it didn't have music blaring in the background. read more

Not sure why Yelp reported this location as closed. It's still open! I just came here to get my very first ball drilled and came from word of mouth since I have never been to this lane before. Ray from Whitestone lanes is the kind of person who treats you like family and we need more people like him in bowling! He was extremely friendly and down to earth, and gave me a familiar, family vibe and makes you feel welcomed even as a beginner! The lanes themselves look old and dated, but make no mistake the oil still curves your ball and the conveyor has never gotten stuck recycling balls unlike some other lanes I have been to! Thank you for all the help today Ray! Love ya! read more

I haven't been bowling in years and decided to visit with a Groupon purchase. It was a Monday around noon and we were the only ones there. The guy at the counter gave us shoes and assigned us a lane. I requested bumpers and a ramp for my 2 year old grandson. We started playing but the score wasn't registering. The man came and started it for us -- without my asking for help. The equipment worked and we had fun. I would come back again. They sell socks in a vending machine and had a CASH ONLY sign. The man said no more leagues because they may close and can't promise 36 weeks of games. read more

Whitestone Lanes - Price list - Bowling Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place is old school. It was a cold winter day and it was quite cold inside the venue despite there being a space heater running. I did 2 hours of unlimited bowling for $25 each including the bowling shoes. I stopped when we reached game 3 but we still had time to spare. It is cash only. The balls could be in better condition but they did the job. I do not go bowling often so this was a nice place to practice. I do appreciate that they have a parking lot on site. I did not try any of their food or drinks. read more

Parking was easy and checking in to grab our lane and get bowling shoes was a breeze. Overall the place felt a bit outdated, but everything worked as it should. I always do poorly first game... I really need to start playing more often lol. There were a couple of times when the bowling ball didn't return, even though our time wasn't close to up, which was weird. While the games itself were cool and we had fun, there were a couple of less than desirable things to take note of, though. We had barely switched to our bowling shoes and gotten settled in our lanes before we noticed how explicit the music was. We were not the only party with youths... And the songs were dropping F bombs and all sorts of things... Not a good look! My sister beat me to it, but a music change was requested, and thankfully the staff obliged. They should be knowledgeable of who their current patrons are. We also noticed that when we returned our shoes and the staff went to spray the shoes, they didn't spray inside. They just did on top and on the sides... It's the inside that really needs disinfecting! Some folks forget socks (my niece included), so that's something to be mindful of for sure. read more

Amazing bowling alley! Amazing service and love that they have a parking lot! Would definitely come here again!

Old school local bowling alley that's kinda outdated but $25 bowling from 6-9pm (3 hour bowling) on weekdays is not too shabby! Be prepared to bring Cash$$ since they do not take credit cards. We were all hungry but sadly, snack bar was closed. Though the bar was open and they have a vending machine. Parking in the front was full but they also have plenty of parking in the back. read more

Whitestone Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Flushing, New York

A Throwback to the 80's for me as time seemingly has stood still. I can clearly remember the same decor of the walls and the linoleum floors. It's like I traveled back in a time machine. The only thing new here unfortunately is the Covid 19 pandemic and the byproduct from that is the addition of partitions to enforce social distancing during game play. This is a no frills bowling alley that is as basic as basic can be. Do not expect anything exciting here unless you yourself bowl a perfect game. There is no multi colored light shows or loud pumping music, the bowling machines though functional are pretty beat up as are the the quality of the lanes, pins and balls. Due to the Covid pandemic temperature checks, contact tracing, face masks and signing a waiver will get you in. What I don't particularly like is they will make a copy of your ID and keep it with the waiver you signed. I was not keen on the idea of them making a copy of my driver's license but since I drove all the way here already I went with it. If you come with others without ID they will be allowed to bowl as long as you sign for them. If you refuse to sign the waiver you will not be permitted to play. Check the hours and call before coming here since they currently are not operating 24/7 during the pandemic. Cash is the only form of payment accepted at the moment. read more

Decent sized parking lot, 10+ spaces. More than half of them were empty when we went on a Saturday at 6 PM. Priced at 2 games for $25 per person, including shoes. Inside is huge with two sides for bowling, and an open kitchen/cafe/arcade games in-between. They do a quick spray to deodorize the shoes when they give them to you. I assume they don't have half sizes since they just gave me a smaller size. Shoes are velcro (no laces) and are comfortable. Lanes are spaced out enough so random people are not right next to you. Not sure how much bowling usually costs, but it didn't seem worth it to me. Even if you take your time, two games will finish in less than an hour. read more

OLD SCHOOL COOL! It's a shame they're planning on closing the beloved site of my godson's 8th birthday party in 2012. This of course was the party where my Aunt Theresa (RIP) -- at the young age of 92 and a week out of hip surgery -- was guided by a glass eye, arthritic wrist, and the holy light of God to bowl a triple strike. Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you hit this joint before it closes for good! read more

A bit on the outdated side with cracked balls that cut my hand up pretty bad. But counter guy gave me a band aid. service is fine but they do get a bit busy. Parking is not ideal since it fills up quickly. I would still recommend this place to gather with friends. read more

3 things about this place: 1. Everything is cash only which I didn't really like. You had to get cash in order to bowl and in order to do anything at this place. No cards whatsoever and that was a hassle and not even worth this place. 2. $25/person for 2 games of bowling. It is pricey just to bowl 2 games and I don't think it was worth the money after being to other bowling lanes from previous places. 3. The place was warm, no A/C, saw a little crack on the floors so in my opinion, it has been a while since they changed some of their floorings. Honestly, I would recommend going to other bowling alleys that looks better than this one. I was visiting Flushing, NY so it was last minute but if I came back to Flushing, I would go to a different spot than this one. read more

It's all about the company you keep! Haven't been bowling in more then a month of Sundays, probably closer to years worth of Sundays. So naturally when bowling was suggested as part of the hang out with my Bros, I wouldn't know where to begin and certainly would not have picked Whitestone Lanes. However, I had a fabulous time. Conveniently located right off the highway. The actual alley and both accompanying parking lots can use some updating but it's large, the employees were cool and the premises were clean. Since we only came to bowl, I guess the aesthetics are not that important. Three people playing two games @ 11pm on a Saturday night was $64.50 ($13.50/shoe rental $51/2 games for 3ppl). I couldn't tell you if that is good, bad or spot on but its what we paid. Everything went well and we all had a great time. I appreciated the fact that they had adult balls that were lighter and didn't have children sized finger wholes and they had some new shoes in rotation. Of course I lost both games even though we were tied for 2nd place in the first, I had a ball doing it. Just A Note CASH (only) is KING... They offer All You Can Bowl Specials: Monday-Thursday 10pm-2am and Saturday & Sunday 8am-12pm for $19 read more

We came here to bowl. Nothing really special about it, but they had lanes. They're a bit pricey for like $10 a game cash. If you have your own shoes, bring them so you don't have to rent their shoes. I don't know why they had to pack us all in on one side if they're social distancing, but there were dividers between the groups. read more

This bowling alley is old school Queens and I love it. It's the only bowling alley that I know that's open 24/7. The prices are cheap & you get a bang for your buck. Shoe rentals are $4.50 and on the weekend they have an unlimited bowling special from 8am-noon. My friends and I decided to meet up for a few friendly games on a Sunday morning and did not have to wait for a lane once we arrived. We arrived during the unlimited bowling time so it was pretty packed but I believe there were lots of bowling league teams practicing (at this time). One of the league members to our left I guess got pissed off at one of my friends because my friend didn't let the league member bowl first (2 lanes down mind you) and came over and gave us a speech about it, I particularly enjoyed the league member stating how he's a bowler so he knows what he's talking about. My friends and I were there to have fun not be involved in bowling politics so we shrugged it off and kept having fun. So just a heads up that you may be surrounded by serious bowlers who aren't so polite during the unlimited bowling period. I suggest come prepared to have fun and be in an old school bowling environment. Also, the pit turnaround time was a bit slow but when your having fun it's not that bad. I believe food is served near the bar area but didn't see anyone ordering because it was kind of early. I was able to get a cup of coffee while I bowled. I definitely will be back in the next few weeks to take advantage of the unlimited bowling again. read more

I remember having had an amazing time bowling in middle school for a school trip so I came back here a decade later expecting to relive those feelings. Being an adult made me realize that this place isn't so wonderful. Price and service: Overpriced arcade, a dollar a play when the movie theater that's 5 mins away has way bigger and better machines for same price., should be 50 cents a play for the claw machine..prices are.around average cost of rental shoes and bowling. Food and vending machine... forget about it ,,eat before coming please unless you are fine throwing money away. The shooting game doesnt even work, I tried reloading my gun and it takes me like 4 pulls to get it off almost every time resulting in me dying after playing about 5 or 6 minutes. The claw machine on the right doesn't work too, wasted two dollars as the claw would not move. The bowling balls legit are the same ones from 11 years ago, scratched up and old. I highly recommend skip this place , go somewhere else for a fun time. Waste of money. read more

Dont waste your money here. $70 for 3 games and two rental shoes on a weekend. The employees have no soul or pep in their step and could care less to be there. One employee had a attitude if you request something as simple as a lane change. Everything is cash only there as well. The house balls are cracked, bowling shoes ripped, the lanes are falling apart, pins can barely re rack themselves. The computer doesn't blow air to dry hands. The establishment is a trash can. #ghettobowling If I'm paying premium for a bowling experience, my balls and shoes better be spit shined. If you don't mind taking the extra 15 min drive, you're better off going to Long Island to get good family fun and better quality bowling for half the price. Herrill Lanes is my go to. I gave Whitestone a chance at redemption, but they came up short, as expected... read more

This bowling alley has been around for ages! I used to come all the time as a child but haven't came in a while so when I decided to go bowling with my friends, I was surprised to see that nothing has changed. It's still pretty old and they don't take credit cards. You can also just tell by the screens how old the place is but it still does the job of having some bowling fun! It's also great that it's open 24/7. read more

Had a great experien6 in this place with friends, place was a bit crowded but after getting a number to wait we got called in less than 10 minutes. They only accept cash no credit cards. Place has a bar a bit outdated. The frinks were pricey $12 for a small plastic cup margarita. The bar area has couches and a big flat screen tv for sports that was pretty cool. It has 2 sides huge on the lanes very spacious, bathrooms were clean. They had machines to play racing games the walking dead Pac man and flappy birds, that was pretty cool. They had a fast food area like burgers, union rings, mozerall sticks, and fries section. I never had mozzarella sticks like these full of cheese they were delicious. The staff was very friendly. One of my home girls had spill her drink that was half way on the counter, and the guy that was there got her a new one for free that was nice :] Place has free parking 2 different parking area overall great place to come and have some fun :] read more

a little dirty and the shoes as well, but prices aren't so bad after certain hours. food is not good tho.

Not sure how much this place costs because I've only been here with large groups on school trips with my class. Not the cleanest place. I have seen plenty of waterbugs and cockroaches here. Also kind of old and dingy. Their food is good. Bathrooms are clean and the place is large. read more

It was my first time bowling. The shoe rentals were really worn and dirty. They ask for one of your shoes to keep in the slot of the rental space and so you have to keep track of the other shoe on your own. The place looks run down and the staff is far from friendly. The only thing they have going for them is cheap prices. read more

One star because you have to give 1!!! Very unprofessional staff! The kitchen staff treats people very badly! The place is dirty. The woman who runs the kitchen is extremely disrespectful and unorganized! Screaming at a teacher In front of children with autism over a mistake she made! Not inclusive to students with special needs and dietary needs! Extremely disgusted at her behavior toward patrons of this establishment especially the children with special needs, African American students and teachers. She was very nice to the non minority general education school that was there! read more

Great place to go bowling on a weeknight. There's always a Groupon deal but there's no need when they have this 19.99 special night deal mon-thurs from 10pm-2am which is all you can bowl. Pros: - Inexpensive with special deal. - Friendly staff - Good snacks from the kitchen - Janitor always cleaning - 24/7 - Lots of parking space Cons: - Some lanes have a dent - Didn't see the staff clean shoes after taking it back - Fries came cold :( Overall, I continue to visit when I'm in the area and highly recommended! read more

The staff at this establishment were very unprofessional and lazy. They instructed our school of students with disabilities to get their own bowling balls from a separate area from the actual bowling lanes. Next, when the students were done bowling in which they had a great time doing so. The gentlemen who worked there then made a scene stating the students had to carry the bowling balls from the lanes back to the separate area where they were stored 25-30 feet away. In addition the female manager, who also cooks the food with no hair net, apron or gloves was wildly disrespectful. Yelling at one of the teachers about an error that was the cook's fault. This place is not friendly or embracing to the special needs population. In all, the hospitality of Whitestone Lanes staff literally SUCKS!! Will never go there again! read more

So I came on a school trip with special needs students and staff was rude and disrespectful they called us rude because the kids were eating the food provided by the school. They made sure they pointed out that there was signs that stated "No outside food" but being that this was a different population we didn't think it would have been such a huge issue. And we (the adults) still ordered from the establishment but they were still unprofessional in their approach. Then they said we had to put balls back in the place when staff was standing around doing nothing. Never have I been to a bowling place and was asked to put balls back. And there is not no sign about putting ball back. If I can give zero stars I would have. read more

I guess I would have to make it really clear - bowling facility wise, this place was decent; however it did not apply to its associated food service. They have had some good deals during weekdays, and even during weekends. 20 bucks pp for two sets of games, pretty good bargains! Wish they could serve some hot dishes at the bar just to pair it up... read more

Whitestone Lanes - Fun games! - Bowling Near Me - Flushing, New York

It really pains me to write this review cause this is where I practically learned to bowl. But after a recent visit to WhiteStone, I had to shake my head. So I'm guessin' the establishment has had some issues with bowler/customer safety in the past. I'm thinking it must have been a real crazy fight or brawl 'cause you'll have to go through security to enter on the weekends. Security consist of one dude funneling bowlers through the front entrance. Dudes expect to get patted down; Ladies prepare to have your bags checked. WhiteStone also wants to make sure there's absolutely no loitering or people watching other people bowl. So yeah, at the same security checkpoint you enter at, you'll have to purchase your shoe rental and one game or else entry is denied. Hand security dude your $12 and he'll give you a voucher to be exchanged at the booth for your bowling shoes and your lane assignment. You can always add more games if you like. They really gota invest some money back into the place. The house balls are all damaged (smile); I promise you won't be able to find a bowling ball in the place without a hundred dings or a huge scar on it's surface. Don't be surprised if you see at least one or two destroyed bowling pins missing a chunk of wood being set up in your lane. Don't expect the house lights to get low or having glowing lanes. This is not the place. They'll throw on a top 40 urban mix which is kina cool. Lane 10 was especially impressive on my visit, it shut down twice on us during our first game and the computer didn't register the right score on three different occasions; the scorer's table damn near fell apart from the wear & tear and the ten pounds of pressure you have to apply to each button to enter your name. No Bueno! I'm pretty sure you get the picture by now. The bar and and the food is blah; Deep fried Chicken fingers and French fries. The bar had descent prices on beer and other mixed drinks. The plus side. All you can bowl on Monday's and Tuesday's for $20 (i think) and the lanes are wide. Not those skinny lanes at places like Strike or Bowlmor. I'm pretty sure I'm gona still bowl here somewhat regularly but WhiteStone really needs to step their game up! read more

After my performance last weekend, I was ready to show off my strong pimp hand and crush my competition in open bowling. Although I have bowled at Whitestone Lanes for over seven years, it was a while since I've returned (12 months can be a lifetime, to the man who talks through the three holes of his ball). Friday night after dinner, my cousins and I came to hold our annual family bowling competition (or lack thereof) and have a good time (beers sponsored by yours truly). Since parking in the front is quickly occupied, we always head towards the back. Sometimes on a busy night, cars double park or invent new parking spots: _____ _____ _____ | x | x | _____ _____ | x | x | _____ _____ | x | x | _____ Legend ____ ____ - this is the appropriate parking spot, since you see the yellow paint | x | - the new, abstract, made up parking spot because it's 'sofa king' popular to bowl these days Come prepared with loot. Cash is king. There's an ATM machine in the alley so there's no excuse for whining for a fee to use the machine. It was $77 for five merry keglers at two games each and three out of the five needed shoes. "The Strike Zone" aka the bar, is small, but offers inexpensive bottle beers. I would drop $22 for 5 Coors Lites and 1 Heineken. Sh-t we paid for at least five rounds. At least I voraciously ate all of the chips (certainly my money's worth) I could while waiting for the bartender to serve them. It's a shame there is nothing on tap. The snack bar, although an eyesore, is a separate entity and was helpful in my time of need. We ordered big fries for $4.50 and enjoyed them. They were better (thin cut and fresh out the deep fryer) than the Mickey D's next door. Believe it! The lane conditions were not forgiving. DRY! *hack* CHALK! *cough* As a right hander, I could start at board 35, throw it out wide, and it would still skid, flip and hit the 7 pin on the backend. Although one of my cousins previously hurt himself (imagine a non-runner/baskeball player claiming plantar fasciitis) and ended up squandering money playing video games most of the night, we bowled and collectively had a good time. A poor carpenter blames his tools. I know, I did not perform well with a 111 and 171. Yet, I am still victorious at 12:30 AM! The Monday night all you can bowl, from 10 PM to 3 AM is now $17 per person. IFHTP 3+ read more

I came here over the weekend for an impromptu birthday gathering and opportunity to have fun times with some of my Yelper friends. Whitestone is actually exactly what I was looking for -- an affordable, suburban-type, low frills bowling alley, where you can kick it with peeps, family or whoever without feeling like it's a big night on the town or that you're going to break the bank (I'm talking to you, Bowlmor and Lucky Strike). We found a great Groupon which included one game, shoe rental and a month VIP card ($5 games for the next month) for two for $12. Given the low price, most of my party decided to participate. This location also has a family friendly birthday party room (we had some fun in there) and two fully stocked bars. The balls are a motley crew; some are very worn and others look like they've only been hitting the lanes this year. Whitestone plays top 40 music. The staff isn't exactly friendly, but I have a feeling they have to put up with a lot of nonsense and redundant questions. Good times. read more

So Where Do We Start. My BF & I Usually Bowl 2 Times A Week However It's A Saturday Night & Our Regular Alley "Bowerland Conner Street BX, NY) Had A Huge Waiting Time. So We Decided To Take The Short Drive Across The Bridge To A Highly Reputable Alley. After Parking We Walked Around Front To See A Line. Okay It's Saturday They Have More Lanes Then Our Original Spot So We Waited After We Noticed They We're Letting In A Good Amount Of Ppl At One Time. We Waited On Line For An Hour & A Half. Upon Entry You had To Pay Cash. Okay No Problem. Was Told It Was $25 Per Person. After Paying We Were Told To Walk To The Counter & Get Our Shoes Which We Have Our Own Balls & Shoes. So We Walked To The The Counter To Get Our Lane. Once Given The Lane We Were Refunded Back $10. Walking To Our Lane There was A Good 7 Ppl Sitting There. When Then Walked Back & Informed Them That Ppl Were Sitting There When We We're Told They Were Done. After Informing The Ppl That We We're Bowling There They Said Okay But Never Moved. Okay So Again At Our Original Lanes Were Given a Pen And Paper To Write Shoes Sizes Our Names & The Amount Of Games We Will Be Playing. Due To COVID They Put It In & You May Use The Computer To Take Selfie For The Selfie Board & Start The Next Game. Other Than That You Pretty Much Just Bowl. There Was No Type Of SOCIAL DISTANCING What So Ever. Ever Lane Was Used. Where As Bowlerland & Gun Post Lanes Every Other Lane Is Used. No Two Different Parties Are Placed As Joint Lanes. While We We're Putting On Our Shoes We Looked Around & Realized The Area Was Not Cleaned Sanitized Or Anything After The Ppl Before Us Left. There Was Beer Bottles Everywhere. The Lanes Were Very Old. Literally Had Cracks In Them As Well As Very Dry. It Was 11:15 When We Got In The Bar Was Already Closed When We Tried To Enter. Yet They Stayed Open To 1 Am. We Had 2 Games & Ended Up Leaving Before The First Was Even Up. As Much As We Love To Bowl It Was The Worst Experience We've Ever Had In An Alley. They Need To Make Some Major Adjustments. read more

I came here with my clients for a night of fun. We came in a Friday night around 7pm. It wasn't as packed but when we left around 8:30 it started getting there. The place was clean and kept for the most part. They have a food section if you're hungry. The staff here were ok. Two of the staff members were busy on their phones the whole time instead of working. Literally in their phone so much that if a bowling ball hit them, they wouldn't even know. I don't even remember there being any music. This place is great for families or if you just simply feel like doing a quick session of bowling. I wouldn't go here on a date or anything. It's not the place. read more
