Jenni and Erin made sure we had an amazing time. My son loved it and they checked on us a few times just to make sure . Thank you ladies for the GREAT experience tonight. Our son was over the moon to hear about your junior program and can’t wait to join!

Love this place. It’s a full fledge entertainment center for singles, couples, and of course the entire family. The have a full bar for adults naturally, food, you can play pool, and you can even play a game of Jenga there (the individual pieces are huge). Of course this place is great for bowling as well. Everything works as it should, and a computer keeps track of your score. They are a little bit pricier than let’s say Arlington Lanes, but to me it was no big deal. Besides as of this review Groupon was had offers for this place, like 19 dollars for two hours of bowling if I remember correctly. Like most bowling alleys it does get a little crowded on the weekend, so with that said, you may need to go on a hunt to find the right ball for you. Again, to me this is no biggie, you will have a great time here. They even have a Brunswick store to purchase bowling balls and accessories as well. Later in the evenings the lights gets dimmed and the music comes on to bowl in the dark. It was a very cool experience. Great place to bring a date to!

Great place! Reasonable cost for admission and shoe rental. Grab the balls you need off the racks/bring your own ball, and bowl! It gives you options for bumpers or not. They also have a nice bar/restaurant with a pool table. The arcade tickets are a little overpriced though.

This is a clean bowling alley with friendly staff. We bowled around 1:30 on a Wednesday and they had half the lanes lit up for cosmic bowling which was a nice surprise. They have daily deals and their pricing per game changes after a certain time of day, i.e. cheaper to bowl before 4 p.m. There is a large sit down area opposite the lanes where you can eat food. Would come back.

Awesome and friendly staff. Some of them have been working there since I was kid! Lots of awesome benifits for joining a league. Minus one star for the occasional smell....youll know what I mean when it hits you. Also, they could use some updated electronics. However both points are not their fault as its been brought up numerous times by the employees. These suggestions go to the big guys.

Could not have asked for a better venue for our company party! There was a mixup in the the location on the contract and the management team didnt blink an eye. They sprang into action, made us feel welcome and pulled off an amazing event for our group. Everyone had a blast and we will definitely be back in the future! Thank you to the entire staff for a great event for our group!

We took two of our young grandchildren and we all had a blast! The food was good, arcade gave the kids plenty of entertainment and the bowling set up was more up to date than I’ve seen. The women (manager +) helping us were fabulous. They helped the boys put on their shoes, delivered leftover food to our bowling cluster, showed the boys how to refill the arcade card and patiently helped them choose prizes from points earned from arcade. They had great fun and we will go back!

Friendly service and reasonable prices make for a fun experience. The facility is clean, and everything is functional. Im not in any leagues, so I cant speak to that. Everything else however from a casual bowlers perspective is great.

We had a neighborhood party at the bowlero bowling alley in Deer Park. We had an amazing experience. There were eighteen kids and several adults. The food came out right on time, the managers were very friendly and so were the staff. We will definitely return.

This bowling place was super awesome. There were about 24 of us and they gave us 5 lanes and only charged us 12.78 a person for unlimited bowling for 3.5 hours. Unfortunately we had little kids and I did not get to finish my 3rd game. They also had a well stocked bar. They also had a little arcade for the kids. It also wasnt too busy for a Friday night.

This is a great place to go bowling, however the food here is really not great. The service is good. Staff is friendly for the most part. This is also great for events. Definitely do not plan on eating here if you want a full meal. Their prices are competitive too. The place is run and kept up well.

It was fun to go bowling with family here. It amazes me how people have zero bowling manners anymore. Hell they walk in your lane right as your ready to go. Parents should definitely pass down bowling etiquette.

Review №24

Look its a bowling alley. The fact that these still exist is kinda cool but I didnt find it special. The lanes are fine as far as I can tell and they had a cool feature where bumpers went up and down automatically so my toddler could use them but the adults didnt. The food was what youd expect and the drinks were appropriately overpriced.I will say I though the keyboard sucked. Id have liked something a bit easier to use. That said...if you wanna go bowlin where else ya gonna go?

I loved it....I havent bowled since I was 25 or so...its changed to the better, especially since you dont have to have a scorekeeper...and the people who work there were very friendly and helpful....we were there with a group from a community center and we all had a blast...we had fun and didnt take the games so serious like some did.... I had a great time and met new people... It was really a lot of fun....

This was the most horrible bowling experience of my life. The staff is mean and sassy. It cost 62 dollars for 2 games, and the food was overpriced and disgusting. It was not clean, we got there and there was food on our chairs. I’m never coming back here. Advice: Go to Bowlero Buffalo Grove!

This place is horrible, do not waste your money. The games/shoe rental are outrageously priced, the food is extremely exspensive and the quality is horrible. The styrofoam cups we were given are dirty, and chipped, not to meantion the service is awful.

Review №48

My rating is neutral because even though the facilities were nice clean and in excellent condition. The staff was very nice and friendly with a ton of information. It is expensive. For two adults and two small children (ages 6 and 5) to rent 4 pairs of shoes, each get a drink (small lemonade and med cokes) and bowl 2 games the total was $67.45. Im not angry, just thought people should know this alley is expensive. Posted copy of receipt to show breakdown of prices. It says 8 games because it is charged per player of game. Only recommendation to alley would probably be look into separate pricing between adults and children.

Review №49

Nice bowling alley. Lanes in great shape and staff super friendly and helpful. Lots of lanes and good selection of bowling balls and shoes clean and in good shape. Not the most up-to-date technology on the scoring though, no videos or animation (that’s my only major complaint). Prices reasonable and plenty of parking.They also have a nice mini-arcade with ticket games for kids both very young and a little older. All using a digital card so you don’t need to lug tickets around.

Usually passing through smokers at the entrance. Bathrooms are right by the bar area & it all smells the same. Bowling shoes look & smell disgusting. But ... my youngest kids love bowling there so we continue to go. If managed properly, it could be better!

Though a Brunswick Zone, its not as modern as other locations. Found the prices to be a bit high. For 2 adults and 3 kids ages 8,9,2 midday on a Saturday, it cost over $50 dollars for 1 game of bowling.The ladies at the service desk were nice and very helpful though and sweet to the kids!

My family and I went here on a whim one Saturday morning. The staff was actually really nice and talkative. It was super simple to start bowling and they asked us where we wanted to bowl since there were multiple parties going on. I figured staff would be unenthusiastic but I was wrong. It was a pleasant surprise. I like.gow you just set up a table and bowl as much as you want then pay when your done. Nice touch. The shoes looked new too.

Nice enough alley. Food and bar selection lacking. Its my understanding that it is all dictated by corporate now. Bit on the pricey side for bowling, shoes, etc.

Review №77

We bowl in a league here for several years. This place is going down hill. The bathrooms are not always clean, the league rules change too much. You have to be careful you are not charged for someone elses drinks. We only drive the hour so we can bowl with friends. If you want to bowl go some where else.

Update: cant bowl today. System is down. No bowling here until fixed. On/off issue for years. Bowling industry was slowly dying for years, now its up a notch - the end is near unless something changes. Where are my golf clubs?Okay to bowl. Worried about future as experienced employees are scarce.
