We went to play tenpin for a family members birthday for his first time. The three of us were told by the girl with blond hair and glasses all the tenpin lanes were reserved for people coming in 30 minutes from now and we can use candlepin. I joked and said with a smile "aw man all of the lanes.. is there a tournament going on?" But she just looked at me straight face and slightly rolled her eyes, turned to the shoe wall and asked us our shoe size. There was one tenpin lane being used at the time and their group left shortly after we got there. We played 3 rounds of candlepin with no one else bowling

If I could give this place no stars because the staff there is the rudest people I have come across especially to a 3 year old. I dont know how they can live with themselves for what they did to a little girl. It is not of we were asking them to out of there way or anything. Just take 30 seconded and give girl her prize instead of standing around and doing nothing then try to justify by saying your staff is busy when clearly you werent. I would just classify you as lazy. After all it was a lousy 10 cent toy
I hope the owner actually read this and do something proactive so another little

We went on a week day. Really nice people working there. They helped set up the rails on the candlepin side for the kids. They also had a ball slide for really little kids to line up the ball and let it roll down. We had a blast, I would recommend to anyone looking for a little family fun.

I was dissapointed by their arcade, it was tiny and cramped and so many of the games weren't working. The bowling was fine really, no complaints there.

7/30: Made reservations through the website, super easy to use. I personally love reservation systems and was happy to see one on the website. We Showed up a little early and got to our lane right away. The staff was super friendly and professional. We bowled 3 games of 10 pin it was a blast. Ordered food and beverages and everything was soo good! The beer pitchers are clutch. There was a camp of some sort on the candlepin side. Had to be 70 kids minimum. The staff handled all of them extremely well, i was impressed. We bowled a game of candlepin after the kids left. This alley is one of the best
