What parents say
"We absolutely loved this place! It had an old-school vibe, but all the right modern amenities, including being able to order food and drinks from our lane. But what really made the night was Bowlero having an employee like Derek. Derek just made a great experience even better. Not only did Derek give great advice to our group of novices, we felt so welcomed and not judged for being a bit clueless... a perfect night out."
