- Skip the immersive bowling upgrade if you want to save money, as some guests find it skippable

What parents say
"This place is AWESOME! I absolutely love taking my boyfriend here anytime he visits. We can easily spend HOURS in here. The crane machine area is the best part of the entire place, so many items to win, and they change them out every month or so. The old school arcade machines are really awesome too! Perfect for all ages, their kids' playground is huge too!"

"Had a good time,though it seems like even arcade games are getting pricier and not any better. I've been here several times and haven't gotten any better with staff. We like coming to Bowl play games and do a little shopping in the mall. The food needs some improvement, I understand it is not a Michelin star restaurant, but for the prices, it could be better quality. I ordered a beer, and the glass looked a bit foggy, so I just took a drink and decided not to order another one. Overall, the kids love it as it has something for all ages. We have a teenager, 2 kiddos, a toddler, and a 1 year old"

"The variety of things to do is great! I wish we had a bigger group and more time. I would have loved to get a karaoke room. The immersive bowling was fun but could go without. There are plenty of arcade and claw games. The staff are simply there. Nothing stood out about them. They didn't add to the experience, and I kinda felt I was bothering them if I asked anything. They weren't rude but weren't attentive or friendly either."
