My son took me and his wife and my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter on New year's to bowl. Low and behold her and I beat my son and daughter in law.

The staple Orleans bowling alley, what more can I say? Fun for kids, adults... slush puppies, beers, birthday parties, rock and bowl. What else could a person want really!

Great experience at a bowling birthday party. Employees ensured all kids had their shoes and instructed on proper use of lanes. Party room was clean and well decorated; plenty of room for kids to run around.

The check in person was confused, even though we had a party booked. We were rushed and had to bus our own tables. The security guard stalked us all night like we had doing something wrong. We spent alot of money for terrible service from unorganized teenagers. I do not recommend wasting your time or money. The bartender was the only good thing about experience.

Went out for a date night on Friday night and needed to compliment the impeccable dedication and quality customer service that was offered to me. The staff there was so helpful and communicative, especially Raymond and manager Mauve. They are phenomenal! Helping accommodate all of our requests and exceeding my expectations with their caring, professional service. I would highly recommend going out to the Orleans Bowling Centre for a fun, safe night with friends or family. Thank you again.
