Couldn't believe the price, $29 for 3 adults 2 kids worth of shoes and about 1.5 hours of playing. The service, top notch. Was told upon arrival that a reservation was probably needed to play where they were busy (first day of March break). But in the same breath was told "let me see what I can do"... WE GOT IN! The guy working gave us his own set of personal bowling balls and checked in to see if there was anything he could do for us... over all a great a experience, while still feeling safe with their covid protocols.

It's not bad. The facilities are nice and modern. They offer hot food there as well. My complaint is the location is in a seedy area of the city, not overly safe. Also I found the staff and patrons alike feel no need to follow the law and not smoke close to the entrances. For myself as an adult it's not ideal but I can deal. When bring our daughter there, I take a big issue with this. Probably not some place we would plan to visit on our own.

Old lanes. The built in score keeper is great for both the novice and skilled bowlers. The leagues here are good. Especially the youth one. Staff is friendly and the food is fairly priced and very tasty. You can also grab a beer or a cooler.
