“My family and I had a great time at this bowling alley! I forgot to ask for her name, but the staff at the alley was the kindest and sweetest woman Iu2019ve met. Weu2019ll definitely be returning!”

“Good Lanes. Great prices.”

“It has been updated in the past few years and is much nicer for families! Great place to take kids in the morning - not crowded and super fun bowling. Prices have gone up, but it's still cheaper than a bowling alley off base. Dominoes is in the building, which is convenient, but service was really slow, especially since no one was there. Fun place and good for families!”

“This was absolutely a fantastic place to have a team soccer potluck and bowling party for my daughter's team. It was empty (Monday nights apparently very very slow). The arcade that required no money was a huge hit, but the true fun was the bowling. My tax dollars well used. I loved it.”

“It's oh k. It's small. It's cheap to bowl, I'm not a fab on how the lane seats and table is set up, pretty tight, and you're sharing the area with other group so if you have 2 groups of like 3 or more plus kids on your lane it could be crowded.”

“We visited the bowling alley on Family Day for the Bravo graduation. We ended up here on accident because we had pre-ordered our pizza from Domino's but there were no other tables and seats left. The bowling lanes were very inexpensive yet up-to-date! We had pizza and bowling on the first day I was able to see my brother after 13 weeks - It was an awesome experience!”

“This is hands down one of the best SMP/Recreational Center/ Arcade/bowling alley/bar I've ever been to. The staff is wonderful, friendly and very accommodating. Becca man's the front desk like a champ! The bartender is always readily available to serve another round and the bowling is free on Fridays during 11-1. Can't get much better than that”
